Another day, another batch of censored posts!
After the previous two comments [see last post] were censored by Dr. Sarah' website last night, Gareth Wolf and Teresa Grimaldi posted the following:
"Post already deleted from site.
Question. Why has my question from two hours ago already been removed from the site? Teresa Grimaldi"
"Where's the post?
I just asked a question a few hours ago. Why has my post been taken down? Dr. Wollaston is ignoring the electorate.
Gareth Wolf"
They were removed, and this morning Teresa Grimaldi posted this:
"Constituency views
T Grimaldi
Are you committed to taking into consideration the views of your whole constituency?"
The Moderator replied:
"As a former GP, Dr Sarah Wollaston is well known to have a particularly open mind to the views of other people. The Moderator would like to draw your attention to the last sentence on the Blog Rules Page http://www.drsarah.org.uk/about/blog-rules :- "Any attempts to resurrect a closed subject, especially under another guise, will be firmly rejected.
- The Moderator"
I posted this, though they have now installed a sign that pops up saying "your post will appear shortly" so they'll probably not show it:
"My original subject postings have outstanding questions Dr. Wollaston has not yet answered. The Modedator has also removed links to a blog that shows links to national newspaper reports and an Amnesty International report about the issue we are discussing.
How, then, can The Moderator say that it is closed? The Moderator is taking down comments often hours after they have been posted - Is Dr. Wollaston aware of the calls for her to answer the questions, or are the posts being censored before she is told about them?
This leads to a few questions:
Who is The Moderator?
What constitutes a 'closed issue'?
What is the process of censoring comments?
What is the name and position of the person who decided to host Dr. Sarah's statement "I am committed to taking the views of the whole constituency into account and promise to listen and be open to arguments." on the exact same page as a forum in which comments are being removed with no notice given, no reason given and not even a note from The Moderator to users saying comments were removed?"

I am interested to see if my latsest post is displayed on the site:
ReplyDeleteDr. Woolaston describes herself as a 'former GP' does this mean she has already given up her medical career before having been elected? Is this another example of Tory arrogance, presuming she can step into Anthony Steen's comfy warm safe seat? This is interesting, considering how close this election is. Still, with all of the money the Conservatives have given her to support her campaign it does seem difficult for anyone else to get a fair hearing.
A further comment, prompted by hearing of her recent conversations on BBC Devon about 'trust'. Posted at 11.58 29 April. "It is a great frustration to me that you are painting yourself as a new kind of politician at the same time as refusing to engage in debate about issues which many of your constituents feel very strongly about. You have repeatedly refused to answer our legitimate questions. We are being silenced by 'The Moderator' and you refuse to listen to us, let alone represent us in parliament. You appear to be a person who is bent double under the forces of the Conservative party that are guiding you into this dead end. You describe a wave of hostility toward you, yes, this hostility grows when you abuse your power in this way."
