DU is censored

Within the last 1/2 hour, two threads questioning the DU censorship practices have been locked.

What are they afraid of, the free exchange of ideas?

3. Just remember...

DU is not public property.

Therefore, the mods and admins can be as biased or unbiased as they please.

I have seem threads locked/posts deleted for what seemed to me to be lesser offenses than threads/posts right next to the banished ones that are allowed to remain.

5. LOL

The last thread held up Sean Hannity's message board as a shining example of free speech. Lessee, which do I prefer? DU mods or Sean Hannity? Oh, boy...that's a hard one </sarcasm>
