It’s a privately owned website. they are free to post and delete whatever they wish, much in the same way freerepublic does. It’s sad they are so transparently left, but they are free to do so. Just as we are free to stop supporting their site/paper.
Well, that is not exactly true. They have what they call Community Rules and banning a poster is supposed to be related to community rules. So, they claimed that I violated two of the rules. They claimed that I am not who I say I am and asked me to post personal information for public access. When it was verified that I am who I say I am, they said that I used offensive language, but I had saved the post that they were referring to and there was nothing offensive in the post.
