Censorship over at Norther Lights Cafe or Just Computer Problems?

Posted by Arthur Topham on February 6, 2014, 9:59 pm

I see that I was blocked from posting on the Northern Lights Cafe after the moderator began tampering with a post of mine and was removing an objectionable word. When they were finished with their editing I no longer was able to log into the site at all let alone post. I'm curious if others who may have been posting there and here on Quesnel News also experienced this problem?

I see that the usual posters over at NLC are back online smearing Coun. Sushil Thapar. Great site that NLC. Let's see now maybe that acronym "NLC" actually stands for Nerds, Losers & Commies. :-)

... says the guy who dedicates the majority of his life slandering Jews. You're maybe not a 'Commie' but 'loser' sure seems right.

Well Cid be thankful that you can post your views here on Quesnel News without being blocked. You have a right to them regardless of whether they're incorrect or not.

So Kefka. Just when we were getting started NLC blocks me from accessing the site. How do you feel about that? It must get a bit boring always taking pot shots at someone who isn't given the opportunity to shoot back.

I'm not taking pot shots at you. From almost everyone I've spoken to, you're a very nice man that happens to be obsessed with a political/historical view that I and most others find abhorrent and anachronistic.

Honestly, getting into some sort of debate with you would be useless for the both of us. I'd cite some historical references that you would argue are trumped up by the Zionist establishment. You'd fire back with something that I'd find equally ludicrous.

I don't have a problem with you, most of the time. I find the writing style on your website to be ludicrously pretentious - as if you're trying to prove you're smart by awkwardly using big words - but that is more of a complaint of rhetorical style. Once in awhile you'll flirt with stuff like Holocaust denial that pisses me off (I have some skin in that game); however I get over it because I remind myself that I think you are probably just a well-intentioned loon. Which is fair, because you think I'm a generic academic snob that has fallen for some Zionist narrative.

I learned a long time ago that arguing with folks obsessed with conspiracies is impossible. Was George Bush behind the 9/11 attacks? Almost certainly not, but how can I prepare an argument for someone who has based his/her beliefs on the statements of some janitorial staff and 0.01% of architectural engineers?

Oh, I wish you the best in your legal troubles. If you've ever read any of my posts about you, you'll know I've always supported your right to free speech.
