Thought Censoring

So I have noticed this as an ongoing trend among bloggers from the left in particular.  One blogger in particular deletes comments from bloggers who don't agree with her.  She has gotten better about it and it has led to more reasonable discussions.  And then we get a "new" blogger...

formerGOP has posted several cut-and-paste posts without acknowledging the original authors.  When I suggested that her post wasn't in-line with her normal grammatical patterns my comments were deleted.  When I suggested plagarism, my comments were deleted.  Turns out, it was plagarism.  She cut and pasted from an author who worked hard on their composition. 

Personally, I would rather confront opposing views than ignore them, but I would rather ignore them than delete them.  It just seems that censoring reeks of weakness and cowardice.  If you can't defend your actions then chances are they are not worth defending.  If you can't justify your opinions then they are probably without justification.

So I present you with the question:  Is it acceptable to just delete everyone who is in disagreement with you, or is it best to allow dissention?

I stopped posting on that person's blog. Guess she/he will have to come up with a new alter.

Unfortunately I kept it going. I have noticed that her and PM are never in the same place at the same time... I will avoid her now too. I just have this overwhelming desire to correct injustices.

We have several on this site that would like to control our thoughts, or think they know what they are.

I quit posting on her blog also.

Copying an entire article w/out giving credit is plagarism. That doesn't apply to using a word, but you know that. You're just being you, hmm?

As my old buddy Albert used to say:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Not sure why y'all would keep posting on a blog where your comments are deleted.

I beg to differ and would encourage you to use a major search engine before you make a fool of yourself. *shins you in the front of the knee*
