Why is ZOT material being pulled without posting a ZOT?

Posted on 02/11/2003 11:53:33 AM PST by Pharmer

I love ZOTs! I find them enormously amusing. They prove that Rush is right when he says that the left is funny when they are out of power. Their hysterical rants are exactly that...Hysterical. However, recently I have found that ZOT material is simply being pulled without comment. I realize that this is a serious forum about conservative politics but if we tolerate blather from Helen Thomas et al (with mandatory Barf Alerts posted) why can't we see ZOTS?

Maybe they're having a contract dispute with the Viking Kittens.

The viking kittens should be riding motorcycles.

"I love Bill Clinton" and "I love Al Gore" are not exactly things we can comment on.

It is a very humorous way for the Admin Moderator to handle liberal disruptors.

The post is modified and a number of different graphics invoking the wrath of lightning are used.

Very funny stuff, especially the viking kittens (which I still think should be riding motorcycles).

Can some one explain what a "zot" is and why we have them?

Any time material is censored because it is beyond some subjective standard, others will claim that a posting with which they disagree is at least as offensive as that which was zapped.

This place belongs to FR and the admin controlers, but if you allow one person to slap the sides of his head with his hands and screech, "I'm offended" to have something stricken, it is the same as the lefties.

I have occassionally had some thing that I posted removed arbitrarily (several years back when another reader felt that I had likened Buchanan followers to Nazis) and never understood how a free speech site could do that.

How offensive could what was posted be and why would we be afraid that any one read it?

due in part to the Viking Kittens.

THEY ROCK!
