Over the past few days, I have posted comments on the horrid
Age of Autism website multiple times under the name "Aspergio the Magnificent". These comments were in disagreement with the views of the owners of the site and most of the users. When I posted the comments the site told me that they had to be checked by a moderator before they could be posted, which is fairly standard procedure on blogs and the like. Now, after several days in some of cases, none of my posts have appeared. Except for, it appears, one that was only mildly in disagreement with them:
Quote:
I am a teenager with Asperger's. I can't say for sure if I'd like to be a lawyer, or a biologist, or a filmmaker, or something else, but I'm sure that my AS will help me succeed.
The other comments, some of which were posted earlier than this one, have not appeared. Might this be censorship?
Yes, that looks like censorship.
There's a number of sites which do that - either agree with them or your post never appears.
It goes on at even higher levels including TV talk shows and newspapers (columnists).
Some sites which (falsely) claim to be scientific will reject valid scientific studies which do not match the particular spin they give readers on a topic.
