More Censorship at MyDD

After my MyDD diary disappeared I was fuming. I tried to comment on another post, but I found that my commenting privileges had been revoked.

My roommate noticed and wondered what was up with me. I explained it to him and he logged in and left a comment on my behalf. The diarist was asking how a diary is promoted to a "recommended diary." My roomate commented thus:

Tell me about it. My roommate, the original Psycheout, had a diary up for something like 24-36 hours and it had 59 comments at last check. He said it had some great discussion going on and it seems to have disappeared.

It had more comments than any other diary on the front page including the "recommended diaries", but it didn't make the cut.

Not only that, but while he can still log in, he can't comment (which is why I had to create an account, heh) or create a new diary.

I guess it's probably because he's a conservative (ie wingnut) who had a post up about Sam Brownback. But he also commented about the Democratic frontrunners and was actually very polite about it.

Is this site only for Democrats who toe the line or something?

He's really pissed off right now. I think he's going to blow a gasket! lol.

His original diary was at

P.S. I'm liberal. lol!

His comment, and I assume his account, were deleted within the hour. So much for the "tolerance" of the lefty blogosphere. I've heard them whine and complain (my roommate too, heh) that many of the prominent righty blogs either don't allow comments or delete anything that doesn't conform to their point of view. Well, this just goes to show that the leftist blogs, MyDD specifically, are no better. The word "hypocracy" comes immediately to mind.

My liberal roommate was a little surprised. I think his eyes were opened tonight. The left really do love their echo chambers and they absolutely hate dissent. Don't let them fool you.

Screw them.
