Adventures in IP Blocking

Well, the Guardian posted my comment, at least for a while, but now has apparently blocked my ability to read and respond to comments.  Even though the header says there are 86 comments, I can’t get them to appear.

This whole thing feels Bolshevistic to me.  Not only does most media fail to report any and all news that does not support the positions it holds on faith and habit alone, but most left wing sites remove outright anyone standing up and yelling “you are wrong, and here is why. . .”  They have already decided they CAN’T be wrong, having defined right as nothing more or less than what they believe at the moment.

THE MOMENT you begin using technology–put succinctly, the moment you begin to ABUSE POWER you have–to silence rather than engage with ideological Others, you are voting for Nazism.  You are voting for a rigged judiciary, and even mass murder.  You are voting to end Western civilization, based as it has been–at its best–on genuine tolerance for intellectual diversity, the use of reason and fact to resolve disputes, and a constant desire for improvement.

These are not small issues.  They are not pedantic.  It has nothing to do with my ego.  Yes, these people do yoga, and take their kids to dance class, and drink wine in their hot tubs and dream of better things.  But AT ROOT, this is a moral sickness.  It is, itself, a form of violence. 

The Left, itself, speaks incessantly about the violence of shutting out the margins, those without a voice.  Yet it does it in perfectly clear conscience when those others are true Liberals.  Those not doing it look with approval on those who do.

It is literally like binding Truth, placing it on an altar, and setting it on fire, to burn completely, in a holocaust, while chanting hymns to truth, hymns to beauty, hymns to justice.  It is moral insanity.
