Here is the thread I started. Stringer Bell is the name of a character on The Wire, one of my favorite TV shows. I posted a link to the above story and some commentary. I was not abrasive or attacking anybody. I wanted to carry a discussion with these folks. They deleted some of the posts I replied too first, one that linked to this site. And other posts that were just part of the discussion. Then they revoked my login and posting privileges.

THey deleted all of my messages. Wow. I posted a reply stating I can see how people who had been repressed so long would cheer and cry to vote. I bet that message gets deleted as well.
It took the Iraqi elections to hammer home a fact that was established by our elections in November.
