Censorship on the blogs

I regularly blog on the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel political forums ( www.jsonline.com ). I probably post more links and excerpts than any other poster there.

Today I posted excerpts (and links) from an article about paid bloggers and from one on Recall Walker volunteers being attacked.

Neither post was offensive, vulgar, engaged in name-calling, was threatening or otherwise in violation of the TOS. Both were removed this morning.

Maybe it's time to call out the JS.

Take it up with whoever blocked your posts. People are reasonable. HopeHoops Dec 2011 #1

Perhaps better than you think. This post could be locked as "griping", but give it some time. HopeHoops Dec 2011 #4

Sorry, can you clarify?... SidDithers Dec 2011 #3

That was sort of my question - here or there? HopeHoops Dec 2011 #5

The JSOnline mods deleted my posts there on JSOnline. n/t Scuba Dec 2011 #6

You posted jsonline links here that were locked?

Or you posted links to the boards at jsonline that were locked there?
