I got an e-mail from the Amazon "Community Team" telling me some of my comments were being removed because they were 'spiteful'.
Let's be honest here. The Amazon moderators are probably kids hired to babysit the site. They are probably similar to the international tech support you get when you call in for product support. That they would be allowed to basically delete and censor my posts on the idiotic grounds that they were too spiteful is scary. Those people should read a few of the books available on Amazon on how corporations progressively infringe on free speech.
I suspect what is really happening here is some of the Lone Nuts I regularly confront have learned that if you flag a post you can't honestly answer the mods will delete it without even reading it. It's an effective way of allowing Lone Nut liars to get the upper hand in a comments section debate.
Recently I have also been calling-out some obvious CIA writers on Amazon. I think this might be the real source since the legal weasels at Amazon probably cover their own cowardly asses as their first concern. But honestly, I would be embarrassed to delete posts and warn someone on the basis of being too "spiteful". That rule is so stupid and obviously dumbed-down that it is uncredible by itself. It's being selectively used to discriminate against good political writers and advocates. People who practice free speech for what it was meant for.
The answer to this is to bring this issue out to the public in the media and make Amazon answer for its idiotic "spiteful" rule. But since the media is now part of that corporate reich with the same agenda and methods there's little hope of that happening. Even if you could you are talking about airing it in front of a moronic public that gives praising reviews to O'Reilly.
I hope I wasn't being too spiteful above. Jesus.
