Don't piss off Bob Richardson though, his values reign supreme |
You have to remember that Portland Transport functions as the cheerleader for rail in this area so it comes as no shock that someone who is openly critical of Neil Mcfarlane would have his comments censored. I've been battling them for years having many of my comments removed and even getting banned completely once. Portland Transport is not a free speech blog, in reality there are very few. I consider my blog completely free speech except for personal attacks against contributors here.
The Portland Mercury is the only completely free speech blog.

What Is Censorship? (2006 resource): Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional. (my response)
The problem is when one person's freedom intrudes on others' freedom and people get driven away or feel like they can't contribute.
