untaken_name: It's your equating the deletion of comments on their own site that they pay for to government censorship, and the insinuation that to be against the latter, one must not engage in the former.

I did not make any such equation or insinuation.

"The Daily Mail 'moderates' (by which I mean 'censors') comments that don't support its political standpoint. That it both rails against, and actively encourages, the heavy handed state is an irony its readers are far too stupid to pick up on."

OK. Or is the comment moderation part not supposed to be your example of encouraging a heavy-handed state? If not, why was it included?

Well if you ask me, most golfers all have a massive handicap.

None of the golfers I play with can count above 4.

I'd putt it in her hole.

untaken_name: OK. Or is the comment moderation part not supposed to be your example of encouraging a heavy-handed state? If not, why was it included?

You've misconstrued my intent entirely. I'll pick this to pieces:

mason4300: After reading a lot of the comments below the article, I can see why Britain is the "Nanny State." It seems like quite a lot of them thrive on over-the-top sentencing and seeing others get caught doing something naughty.

FarkinNortherner: The Daily Mail 'moderates' (by which I mean 'censors') comments that don't support its political standpoint.

Expansion: The Daily Mail, the most right wing of mainstream British newspapers, supports a hang 'em and flog 'em approach to law and order. Comments that do not support over-the-top sentencing and seeing others get caught doing something naughty do not make the cut. Therefore it cannot be seen as representative of anything other than its own editorial line.

FarkinNortherner: it both rails against, and actively encourages, the heavy handed state

Expansion: The newspaper supports heavy handed state action such as lengthy sentences for minor crimes, the epitome of 'nanny knows best' yet, in other articles, protests the supposedly overbearing nature of the 'nanny state'.

FarkinNortherner: is an irony its readers are far too stupid to pick up on.

Expansion: I think this bit speaks for itself.

I feel that ample effort has now been expended on a comment that could have been summed up as 'don't believe everything you read in the papers'

FarkinNortherner:

I feel that ample effort has now been expended on a comment that could have been summed up as 'don't believe everything you read in the papers'

It would have been clearer if you had not included the moderation bit, or qualified the "supports the heavy-handed state" bit. You probably expected everyone to be familiar with the politics of the Daily Mail, but not everyone is.
Incidentally, why would a paper not represent its own editorial line? I know there's much ballyhoo made about "neutral presses", but does anyone really believe in the fiction of "neutrality?"

@untaken_name

No. How you managed to infer any of that is quite remarkable. You read what you wanted to read as it allowed you to patronise. FarkinNortherner didn't confuse me, or anyone else by this. Just you. And that should tell you something very important. I hope you can work it out.

/see where your shiattiness gets you?

*MY* shiattiness? I see, so he can call all Daily Mail readers stupid and you don't consider that shiattiness? That says quite a bit about you. I do hope you can manage to somehow work out what. And yes, I see what my "shiattiness" gets me, a pathetic attempt at an insult. Oh noes! I must kill myself now because skodabunny doesn't agree with me! It's the end of the world! You're so very important to me, skodabunny, that your disapproval instantly causes me to change my entire life, nay, my very inner being itself, to conform to your wishes. Oh, wait, no, it doesn't. IOW, FOAD, DIAF, EABD, YHBT, and HAND.

I've noticed the same thing. Everytime I try to comment it gets rejected by their moderators.

A kilo is worth 100K now?

I think it is more like 15-20K (as noted here for you puritans).

Sotomayor isn't even on the court yet and already the white coke can't catch a break.

That was a sweet hole!

Pretty sure that if the first word after italics is filtered, it gets smushed in with the previous line. It's happened to me several times.
