Antara disemvoweled my comment on her clip because she disagreed with my assertion of the facts.

That's abusive and, I believe, against clipmarks policy/terms of use.

I disemvowel comments that descend into personal attack, no matter whom. That's been my stated standard from when I started & I've stuck to it..

Antara, I call your actions dishonest and accuse you of being unwilling to engage in serious debate. Your excuse was
I deem this one whiny, dumb but mostly just condescending nonsense ---so you win a vowel free post too!
I stated the facts about HLG's arrest, his providing ID, and the racist history of the word "uppity" in America.

I didn't make any personal attacks, and I defy you to point to specifically how my comment was "abusive".

I call bullshit. I've written to Clipmarks to complain.

Wow, that was extremely childish of her. I mean if you don't like someone comments you can block the offender in several ways or simply ignore them.

Shows a high level (or should I say low) of immaturity.

I think you are being a child and loon. The only person being abusive is you. I think it is interesting how you can be so beside yourself regarding the petty disemvowel-ing of a comment, which seems to me has been started by you and your better half. Lexica did the same to me, which was entirely unfair after I had been attacked on her clip. My comment after she did it was: "LOL, that's pretty cool". I was truly amused. It just goes to show the mental frame of reference in dealing with the sensativities of right-...

Whatever Willhelm... You're the last person who should be speaking of abuse and maturity. In any argument I've seen you engaged in you're consistently the first one to start throwing insults and getting personal.

@Willhelm: I do believe that in the instance you describe Lexica did in fact go back and correct her mistake and delete the attack against you, and acknowledge her original mistake in letting the reply to your comment stand. Just because you launched the first attack didn't make the second one right.

As far as my being abusive, I challenge you on that. Exactly how am I being abusive? I raised a legitimate question in a public forum. How is that abusive?

As far as I'm being a child and a loon, I don't think so. I'm saying that one can disagree without being disagreeable, and that I thought Clipmarks had a policy regarding that. [url="http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/A945E3FE-960E-41A7-...

See? The issue is that anyone can choose to see any comment as an attack. Silly really! For example, see jmatts comment. How does his comment relate to the clip or the issue. It is just a comment about me. You probably aren't really all that up-in-arms over that comment, are you? Everyone is biased. Some just choose to TRY to be more objective than others, and sometimes, no matter how offended you are, the opinions you fin...

Also, don't you think you should change the clip title, since it has been decided that antara did not such thing.

Suggestions:

"I flew off the handle and egoldstein set me straight"
"Antara was right, I was wrong"

"Oh, boy, do I feel nutty"

"the issue of moderating moderation has been moderated"

"A hard days night"
