Anyway - no sense in beating dead horses. If people can't see the connection between perceived lack of diverse content and the repeated concerns expressed by those who try to post diverse content by now - I can't help them. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
If X is a prick, call him a prick. But don't moan that he's censoring you. The site is not more his than yours, and not less.
I'm not expecting you to notice anti-French bias. Don't expect me to notice anti-poemless or anti-woowoo or anti-whatever bias. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Are you not suggesting that the "concerns expressed by those who try to post diverse content" are ignored?
Thus my question? By whom? How?
I suppose that given how much I praise technocratic elites, I should not be surprised to be blamed for being The Man. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
I will repeat myself: If people can't see the connection between perceived lack of diverse content and the repeated concerns expressed by those who try to post diverse content by now - I can't help them.
I have no idea what you are talking about now. I've not thought anyone a "prick" (except Rahm Emanuel, and I did call him that.) And aside from Rahm, who is my elected representative, so I feel entitled, I do not think I will join you in advocating name-calling. I am not a fan of that method.
I've also not claimed anyone is censoring me.
Others have claimed they feel the preference for self-censorship in light of the way their diaries have been received. I was acknowledging that several people here have said as much. You explicitly asked for more content. Yet absence better explanation, you appear unwilling to acknowledge that some long-time members prefer self-censorship, or to seriously advocate a more tolerant atmosphere. It's your prerogative - I frankly don't care. I write what I want anyway. But you asked for more content. It's kinda of like trying to talk to a wall. The message does not appear to be getting through to you. I can't figure out why. And of course, it is not just you. In fact, it is a whole culture. But it is your post I am responding to.

Anti-poemless bias?!!! Where?!!! I'll smoke the bastards out!
Oh. Wait. No one has mentioned any anti-poemless bias. You just made that up. I believe the technical jargon for that is "strawman." Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
