I have long been subscribed to the email listed and discussion forum of a web hosting industry site called LowEndBox (their forum is LowEndTalk).
As the name may imply, the theme here is discounted services, and there are good deals to be found there.
Of course, like every other website on the planet which has not taken a stance against Leftist bullying and fraud, they are overrun with some of the lowest and most vile people on the planet.
This does not tend to come across in the blog. The people who run it are actually competent writers who for the most part understand the industry and come across with worthwhile insights on a fairly routine basis. It is one of few newsletters I actually read on a regular basis.
So I was rather surprised when I recieved an email from them about a "queer" web hosting company.
I rightly considered this beneath the dignity of an otherwise fine newsletter, and I made my opinions on the subject known. I was not the only one.
In the end, my forum post on the subject was deleted, but I wasn't banned from the forum. The moderators just decided to give the mob a heckler's veto and delete the thread to stop the conversation from happening.
But I took screen shots of the entire thing, and you can read them on my blog, here. |
