Not an Experiment
The comment above appeared below the article by Sami Abdel-Shafi on CiF on December 29th. Ranong’s comment was not deleted, which presumably indicates that the CiF moderators do not realise or do […]

Tis the season of goodwill on CiF
The Guardian has an open thread where the guardinistas wish eachother season greetings. Here’s a comment I randomly picked up on the thread: Helen121 27 Dec 2009, 12:27PM Thank you Grauniad for […]
Birds of a Feather

I Wonder What She Said…
There’s something ironic when Alan Rusbridger’s daughter, Bella “eff me” Mackie, who is no less than a Guardian moderator, has a comment of hers deleted. You’d think that after her recent outburst […]
