I walked when they started blocking my posts for unknown reasons. I followed their "rules of conduct" yet my always left of center posts became controversial. It sure seems the comments section, certainly in the cited article, has taken a more controlled character.

The shining light of the net has always been equal access and its free wheeling debate format. Almost like corporate entities don't like that status quo. Almost, just like that.
