Censorship....

...is alive and well and living at McSpotlight. I put up a link to a well known Vegetarian Organisation, point out that a few of them are more than a few sandwiches short of a picnic and it doesn't get put up. I chose the anything else section; I believe it was fair comment. So why wasn't it put up? Maybe the editors don't like the suggestion that vegetarians and animal right supporters are anything other than well balanced inndividuals?

We should be told

McSpotlight adds: I believe that your original message contained two links (PETA and one other which slips my mind). This was not an issue and was really very generous considering the position you have taken. However your original message did fall within the general scope of being pointedly and pointlessly offensive ... perhaps even of being pointless but that would probably be going too far.

Statements that generally have as the basis of their argument that 'hey you're mad' for no other reason than 'hey you're mad' are generally a waste of time and effort. They add nothing to a debate - they are not a debate. If more back-up, substance, content was added to your basic premise your message would have had (and we sincerely hope may yet have) a better chance.

Put a bit more effort into it, a bit of fizz'n'pop ... I dunno it gets tiring seeing the same 'you're mad cos you're mad' messages being submitted and then when they're rejected users take offence!!

Anyway - Good Luck!!!
