stopthehandouts and G-G on censorship

stopthehandouts :

G-G, a fellow poster and friend, wanted me to share this:

The following contribution to the MarketWatch Community was removed due to inappropriate content. Please be respectful and use the Community features in accordance with our Guidelines posted here:http://community.marketwatch.com/faq#guidelinesRegards,MarketWatch-Admin

"First!!OBOTS, welcome!
(Thumbs DOWN reveals the OBOT, in sentiment and in belief).

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME... CENSORSHIP LIKE THIS on Market Watch Forums?

Here is MW answer: Please share this! They prove their bias here...

"G-G, Our current guidelines states that, "Community members are asked to work closely with MarketWatch to ensure that a high standard of respectful communication is observed." Calling Community members who support Obama names is hardly respectful. And seriously, do you expect me to give my name to someone who sports a Charlie Chaplain mustache?
Cheers-


"Email between G-G and myself:

This forum, this whole site has been compromised. There are employees working for MW now that are in the Obama camp and are making sure that nothing bad is said about Obama and his cronies (just as they are now scrubbing Wikipedia of anything less than complimentary about Obama and the Democrats). Because politics is so closely linked to the economy, this kind of censorship nullifies MW as anything credible. This reminds me, historically, of the Stalin purges. MW has become an "organ of the state" - therefore MW is irrelevant to any free discourse or conversation. My statements were not offensive - they were political - and that has been banned. I expect I will be booted off shortly. And so it begins....

I couldn't agree more with G-G
