I don’t care about having my comment restored, but like many others I’m concerned over Rawr’s anti-conservative bias leading him to over-censor beyond what the Guidelines require. Here’re an excellent example of him both inventing new rules and applying double standards.
Texas drag shows become a right-wing target amid rising extremism
You’ll notice his justification for deletion is that my comment “(I’m sure glad people are finally notice [sic] this extreme left wing extremism targeting children sexually. It’s disgusting).” is unsubstantiated. Even if true, that’s not forbidden. I can make unsubstantiated comments. People do all the time – people including Rawr.
Second, Arch responded by saying “When it comes to targeting children sexually, righties really do have that market very nearly completely cornered.” BiM wrote in response “Stop accusing innocent people of pedophilia. Projection for you party is unbecoming.”
Those comments are mirror images of my comment accusing the extreme left of sexually targeting children. Both comments were posted before Rawr deleted my comment, so he clearly saw them, but he left them up.
i don’t see how you can view this as anything but extreme bias in moderation. I’m not asking for any action here. I’d just like for Rawr to rein in his left wing bias going forward. I leave it to you guys whether that means my preference of deleting fewer conservative comments or deleting more left wing ones.
