So, there's been a growing trend over at Huffington Post to scrub comments even though they don't violate any kind of community standards. They just don't fit some sort of prescribed tone I guess.
Supposedly the site for news with a
'progressive' slant, I had the following comment deleted today (after it
had been favorited multiple times and commented on more than a half
dozen) regarding the Democrats announcement that they'd officially be
putting marriage equality on their new platform (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/30/gay-marriage-democratic-convention_n_1720030.html):
“This news
brought to you by the party system! Jumping on bandwagons late and doing
what's politically expedient rather that what's right for more than 200
years!
Yayy Democrats! You bunch of self-serving suck ups.”
Okay, so maybe it pisses off some Democrats. But in what universe
should that be scrubbed from a progressive news sites forums? It
definitely didn't violate and language guidelines.
