Ok, so the author has written other crazy things.
Censorship is real if more subtle. Google may not remove actual information just the search links to them. Plenty of websites get “cleaned up” when their contents draws attention. There is the “wayback machine” website which is useful but I would recommend keeping local copies of web pages, screenshots, etc. even printed hard copies.
(recently found a printed copy of the Clinton Body Count from 1993, copyrighted (?) by Linda Thompson) (no I’m not suggesting that Linda Thompson was a reliable source, more than likely a commie disinfo agent)

This is not a lot of fun.

Debating the moderator because I chose a particular article to post.

I never agree with.everything the author has written, but feel the mature FReepers can decide for themselves whether the author is on track or a kook.

I listed no names of moderators in my profile as they remain faceless, unidentifiable entities who are, in many cases, obsessed with a sort of god complex. Even you, whoever you are, must admit that there is smugness and sarcasm exhibited in some of the reasons given for dumping a post.

Then to refer to a contributing poster's profile ( who mistakenly feels as though he or she is a member of FR) as a rap sheet is just ridiculous as well as malicious.

Once, some time ago, a moderator accessed my profile and edited it to include links to pornographic websites. I knew then it was a moderator because a mere poster can not access for purposes of modification that information. It was apparently in retaliation.

Let's just be friends and wish each other a Merry Christmas. Sometimes the fact that we have a common enemy escapes us.

Probably a periodic feature like 'Meet the Moderators' would be a good way to eliminate the vision of faceless, unaccountable beings.

Is Google erasing ALL political content, or just that which Obama opposes?

Well, what do you think?

Because of where you posted it.

Do you still not get it?

It's a BLOG.

The only persons that can edit your profile are the ones that have your password.

Merry Christmas.

Oh heck.

That was me, it was just an experiment that didn't go well.

Never tried that route again, full on failure.

Crazy stuff.
