Has anyone lost their voice?

It has just come to my attention that there is an awful injustice being brought forth by The Win Column. This injustice is Free Speech. People are being silenced. Comments are being deleted.

It is in my opinion that this needs to be explained ASAP. Why is this happening? What is being posted that is so bad that it has to deleted immediately? Who is posting these comments?

And it needs to be posted to everyone.

Agreed, this has to be an open source. If people get censored the whole essence of a blog is compromised. Pick up your act people

Due to recent controversies I officially boycott this blog.

Please...our mission is for more comments, not less! There has only been individual that has EVER been censored -- an individual whom was originally granted rights to blog on the site (even though I don't know him any more than the local pizza delivery guy).

The individual in question made one gambling post - it was a little funny (at best)...so, I thought he had the potential to be a good addition. His next post came no earlier than a week later - a post that, essentially, just ripped myself and the blog and general. Wake the f*ck up! We're trying to drive traffic here, not deter it. How the hell does a negative blog like that help any??? Sorry herb, you've been cut!

The ONLY other instance in which ANYONE has been censored came yesterday - in response to the post about Softball Opening Day. In turn, the aforementioned individual (same individual as mentioned above) stupidly and inaccurately commented about illegal substances. For this reason, I deemed it appropriate to rid such a comment (aka, another FALSE personal attack).

In conclusion, this individual in question ONLY approves of posts relating to "Simply Sud's" (whom is an unbelievable blogger, but you get the point...I'm ridding the elephant from the room) drunken nights out. Believe me, your readership means NOTHING to anyone on this blog. As I've said many times before, this is an opinionated SPORTS blog...with other main topics thrown in the mix. If you don't like it, leave - I'll show you the door. We'll do just fine without you, BEANPOLE (even though I can assure you that you'll continue reading...it's contagious). After all, everything we report is on ESPN anyways, right?? HA - you're buggin...you won't find these stories anywhere near there.

Enjoy your evening of pulling your pud, homer...

wow...talk about personal attacks. i am the individual in question and i would like to respond. i wrote one blog about how not funny nor entertaining chieftain's blogs are. i never made personal attacks about your character, physical appearance or anything of the sort. referring to me as a "herb" or "beanpole" or telling me to pull my pud, in my opinion, is a bit intense for this situation. i didnt mean to stir up controversy with a drug reference or say anything relating to a personal attack. an attack guy? come on. thats far from an attack. finally, i think the main issue came from me not realizing that you guys take this that seriously. i mean, its a goddam blog for christ sake. you think my one blog is going to stop the 9 people that actually read this garbage from continuing to read? i doubt it. sorry for writing something so meaningless that is apparently driving away the thousands and thousands of people reading another article about joe torre or the drunken debacles of simply suds. for now, though, i think the creators of the sight need some new material cuz i speak for myself in saying that i am bored. and with my vote, i represent roughly 10% of your massive audience..... you need more nightmare in the mix!!!!!! oh ya, and if this is a sports blog as referred to earlier, than why are the majority of blogs written about pissing your pants drunk or killing a smug toddler? i would like to see the killing of toddlers become a sport someday, dont get me wrong, but im not sure we are there yet. one of these days i hope to live in a world where toddler tossing is an olympic event. hopefully i can bring home the gold for USA.
