Last Saturday and the following Tuesday I posted Blogs about Florida Today's repeated deletions of Gpabud's personal account of Operation Birmingham. Most of us where under the impression Florida Today was going to try and get an explanation from their Pluck Moderators. So far I haven't seen an explanation from Florida Today, but Pluck continues to make their policy known, it seems to pretty straight forward.
Meet Jim Manely, Jim who posts as Gabriel, writes Right Turn for Florida Today and has his own site Right Turn Forever. Jim's one of two Featured FT Bloggers, Along with Sheree who writes "Talk to Me", Gabriel's picture appears on Florida Opinion Page,
If you visit Gabe's Florida Today Blog Page this morning you'll find concrete proof Florida Today's Moderators are explaining themselves:
---------------------------
Censored twice...I am so DAMNED tired ot this. Tell you what florida today. That is a deliberate small caps because you ARE small caps. You are one of two things: incompetent or complicit. If you want me gone "Man Up" (a Sharron Angle quote reference Harry Reid)Make that would have, that's been deleted as well
===============
You have to admit, Gabe's got a point. For Florida Today to blame the Moderator's for a screw up makes sense, and most of us can relate to it. Anyone who has ever had employees or used subcontractors has found themselves explaining a employee or subcontractor mistake from time to time. Most people get tired of explaining someone's "Mess Ups" (being polite) very quickly. They fire the offending employee or sub. If you go back, and look through the Right Turn Blog Archive for the last year you'll find hundreds of snippets that refer to Right Turn being censored, deleted or removed.
