I just want to say that to those of you that added insightful comments to The Ex-Field, answering my question about how the 13 "Rules for Radicals" could be seen at work in the US presidential campaign, that what troubles me even more than the attempt to censor my words (now foiled) was the censorship of yours.

But have no fear. I've got a "screen shot" of those comments saved, and we'll re-post them here shortly.

Right now our servers are a little bit stressed from all the traffic (a little icing on the latest Iron Man suit?) but our tech guys at Narco News are the best and once we get the wrinkles "ironed" out we'll get to re-posting your censored comments, too. The censorship was an attack on your words, too.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
