Censorship at the Daily Mail

I believe I have the honour of being blocked, or banned from commenting on the Mail Online website. I have probably been deemed to be a very naughty girl for expressing my objection to a certain vociferous lobby group's commandeering of the beautiful rainbow as their symbol. Or it may have been when I sent a cheeky little comment about an article which referred to Fiona Bruce's childcare arrangements, and her attitutude toward Mr and Mrs McCann. Either way, it seems, I am now persona non grata, unlike some of the people whose abusive and libellous comments get published regularly. I just thought I would mention this, because there are obviously some subjects which require strict censorship in the MSM.

I was banned a long time ago because I mentioned Eddie and Keela.

One has to go about it properly. Mention one's "fury", "outrage" and "shock" (the only emotions known to the Mail) and provide an accompanying snap of "Show-casing" or "Flaunting" one's figure or "putting on VERY busty" or "leggy" displays. big grin

Don't forget 'hilarious'!

Weird. I've never been banned. A lot of the time I use sarcasm and sandwich in a nugget between some obviously silly sarcastic remark that at first glance makes you look like you agree with the article. It tends to go over the moderators heads.

I agree about the rainbow being hi-jacked by the 'gay abandon' crowd I think we should claim it back to its rightful place.

Join the (very) big club. Mention LGTB agenda to get a weeks ban. Mention High Weirdness about the McCann case and their "friends" in high places for a one month ban, and mention GCHQ actually vetting the DM responses to be banned for life.
