The Guardian - Comment Is Free
Strangely, I have just been banned from commenting on the Guardian website. I have no idea why, other than that I had just penned an ironic comment following a rather bizarre article about Gwyneth Paltrow recommending that women 'steam clean their vaginas'. This grotesque recommendation, led me to remark on how many women seem to be taken in by pseudo scientific clap-trap put out by charlatan 'experts' and cynical cosmetic companies. For this, my account at the Guardian was banned from further comment. What on earth is going on there? Have I fallen victim to some super-lefty, hyper-vigilant uber-feminist moderator? What controls does the Guardian apply to the petty gods they employ as moderators? judging by the foul mouthed abuse I have received from some Guardian Commentators in good standing; abuse which still stands on the site, weeks later, they operate a rather dodgy form of Chinese style moderation - tow the Party Line or else....
Comment is free? Not at the Guardian.... Not at all.

I was just banned from the guardian and was looking it up so found your blog, decided to comment. I was banned for stating that michelle obamas examples of "racism" happens to all of us. like being compared to a monkey. im white and have it happen all the time, because evolution, I guess. I pointed out the racist comments made by joe biden and harry reid. that comment was deleted, I reposted it because it did not violate TOS. got banned. no comment is not free there,unless you toe the line and agree to be censored.
