Stephen M. Weiss, one of my most reasonable and articulate readers, recently wrote:
“I got banned from Feministing.com because I said that punishments should fit the crime in rape cases, not all rapes were equal, and that I was not a troll, rather a concerned citizen using my real name, whereas the hateful defenders of the party line there use weird handles like ‘a male’ and such.
“My wife says it is a waste of time to discuss anything with the radical feminist lunatics because they don’t think, they hate. I note that the number of comments at www.Feministing.com is much smaller than here, and I suspect the conformity bores the heck out of everyone.”
Many readers have written to me about being banned or censored at major feminist blogs and websites, and I’m interested in learning more about your experiences. Where were you banned or censored? What did you post or try to post that was blocked? What was their stated reason, if any, for blocking it or banning you?
Also, to be fair, if readers have had positive experiences posting opposition material on feminist blogs, please let me know. I’d like to credit those feminists who do permit opposition views.
[Incidentally, I have no idea if Weiss' assertion that "the number of comments at Feministing.com is much smaller than here" is true. Feministing.com is a major league blog which has been around considerably longer than mine. As for comments, from January 1 to January 23 (as I write), we've had (not counting spam) 4,377 blog comments, an average of 190 per day and 48 per post. I have no idea what theirs are.]
