That’s because we live in CommieLand. Must.follow.Dear.Leader.
We’re surrounded by them.
I had noticed after a while, every single one of my posts at the WTNH comments were flagged to be reviewed by the moderators. Now they’ve switched to facebook only postings, so I don’t even visit anymore.
On one site I used my “fictitious” facebook account. Eventually all my posts on the site disappeared. And there was nothing in any of them warranting anything like that. They just didn’t like my position.
