The webmasters who now need to review comments by readers due to the Supreme Court rules should study the tactics of a large amateur radio website in the USA. They have been deleting politically oriented comments from the left for some time. They allow right wing hate speech. They ban the few people who speak out. The formally free Russian webmasters will now have to copy their American couterparts. Just Google "TEH ZED" to learn more.

Oh, you mean you don't want to do it American style and trick people into reactions out of genius? I'm a despised person, anything I write is "hated" becuase it came from me. This thing that Russia has going on actually protects me because my opinion is expected instead of manipulatied, like I never did politics before they told me that they were better for not indulging in them; excuse me, okay. Rarely do I have an opinion on things not of my world, but I've changed because they made me angry. It's like, it's not about place with an undesirable, it's about the amount of junk that we've collected; it's about how much garbage they want to unload onto what they think is uneducated. I might not know, but I'm aware. And I no longer believe in fate, destiny or anything, and the glue that keeps our society together is gone with all the bashing. Now I rebel, no accepting. They need to learn personality hues. For me, it's survival of my organism.

Monitoring is a very expensive business, and politically not a prudent one. Remaining open is the key. Only if there are complaints, and if the rules of commenting are clearly violated, the comment can be removed. Too much interference is not a good idea. Much more balance is attained by letting a variety of opinions come out. Hope the common sense will prevail. What is sometimes really puzzling is that the MEDIA can break any rules and use language that is borderline abusive, condescending, insulting. But the readers better be perfect gentlemen and ladies.

and now to the 200,000 dollar question: who could be behind this move to censure internet comments which can be read by a large audience???
Could it be that the Chodorkovskis and Madoffs of this world feel worried that their system of "lies and deceit" could be punctured????
