I just hate it when I make a well thought out counter point to another bloggers post and they refuse to publish it. Especially if I have taken care to be respectable and not use ad homenem attacks and straw man arguments I should not be censored. If I am so wrong as to be censored then perhaps I am right even in the mind of the censor and as such the censor is somehow placed in peril.
I hate it when people moderate comments on their bloggs. They make it look like the world agrees with them without any dissent. They seek to look like purvey ours of sacred dogma and text it seems to me.
Why is it that some people are so insecure in their 'unassailable' opinions that they can not even stand a taste of scrutiny? If your opinions are so rock solid, use them to soundly trounce me for having the audacity to question you on such a lofty subject.
We are living in a time when people will only listen to those who parrot what they believe. Critical thought and scrutiny of that which is supposedly sacred is verboten.
This is a shame. No idea or opinion should be free of scrutiny or in depth analysis.
I hate it when people seek to silence and erase those who do not agree with them.
This space I leave free to anyone to say whatever. As long as you are not coming here and posting national secrets publicly, I could give 2 shits what you say. I believe that those who disagree with me deserve their say.
Wish I got the same respect.

Silenced and erased.

I agree with you, that's why I don't moderate comments at my blog, either. If I can't defend my positions they deserve to be picked apart. Besides, I'm not always right and it may be that someone makes a point that I hadn't previously considered. I feel that encouraging an open discussion helps me and my readers far more than preaching one point of view from within an echo chamber.
