...and we're back. Like so many other sites on the web, OSNews joined the worldwide protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT-IP Act, which threaten to end free speech, economic innovation, privacy, and the free exchange of information on the web. I don't wish to waste too many words on our participation, so consider this item as a sort of comment lightening rod to make sure that when the next story is posted, we can focus fully on its topic. Update: DC seems to be getting the message the internet sent today.

Thom. You are the one lying. What's the context for "As you can see, I just threw down the mod hammer"? I had this comment by -25 in just a few minutes. You censored me. And it was only my comment to spot -25 in a matter of 3 minutes. It is very well obvious that you didn't like the taste of my comment and "hit the mod hammer" on it, as you say. You didn't let it to others do it. You chose to do it. If there's no proof that you just made it -25, then why did you say such thing as hit the "hammer"?
Dude, censorship is the name of that.
You play whatever you like within your website. -1 was enough to make my comment hidden.
Here's what you wrote, and please don't go there and delete it.

One last thing concerning THAT thread, well, you may have had a good reason to censor me. Ok, I get it. Dutch proverbs. Ok. However, why didn't you pre-censor then upon the headlines? That's what you should have done: "THIS HEADLINE MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON STEVE JOBS' CHARACTER". That would have been much easier for OSNews.
