As a general rule, those who own media outlets of any kind take a very dim view of people using their property to criticize them.

Rush Limbaugh once banned a long-time caller (from Maine, but I don’t remember his name) because the caller criticized Rush live, on the show.

Perhaps if you had founded and built up a media property yourself, you would understand the reasons for this.

Of course, a media property that censors criticism of itself is basically a magnificent exercise in hypocrisy.

And perhaps I understand the definition of hypocrisy as well.

Most forums I frequent actually include in their posting rules something about not being allowed to comment on the quality of the site or how it is administered. I was temp banned from a site for doing that once.

At least one I frequent doesn’t even allow you to discuss the banning practices of OTHER sites. i.e. this thread would violate that site’s policies if it was there.
