Desperation and Hypocracy!

I received an email to check a featured blog post called "Desperation and Hypocracy". Some people posted a comment on that blog post, including me. I was trying to re-check to see if the writer of the post, or someone else replied or commented on my comment. The blog post disappeared! it is not there any more! It was a featured blog post, that "deserved" to be sent to members by email, then, the blog post was deleted along with all the comments on it! I don't know who deleted it, if it is the IPeace team, it is their right, this is their network and they are free to keep or delete anything. If it is the blog writer, also, it is her/his right, they wrote it and they can keep it or delete it, especially, if the comments did not serve their agenda or were not what they want to hear.

But deleting this post, also deleted the contribution of 4-6 members in the comments! I am not sure how "polite" or "nice" that is or even "ethical". But no surprises for me, I have seen it done in different forums too! One of them, even deleted a whole thread with 40-60 replies and 2000+ views!

I don't know, I just feel that some people cant handle the truth or the other point of view, they just want echoes of their voices and ideas.

I know that such deletion "waste" my time or contribution, whatever that is worth, but I will try, to comment, or even post in different forums, here or anywhere I can, to try to reveal the truth, what I believe is the truth.

These deletions are annoying, but, being an activist, we have to understand that some efforts will be wasted. I think I can live with that and I hope that sometimes, they will become really peace activists or truth seekers.

I dont know why that blog post was deleted, but I think it was not "nice" to waste the contribution of everyone who posted a comment on it.

Salam,(Peace, in Arabic)

Comment by Chantal Walters on January 10, 2009 at 9:04pm: I also posted a comment and was checking back to see if someone had commented back. May I ask why our contributions have been deleted. I find it all rather depressing. Let us hope it is a technical glitch...

Comment by Yahya Merchant on January 10, 2009 at 8:55pm: Hammas uses civilians as shields! Well here is som hypocracy for you before it gets deleted!
Yesterday, Amnesty International also accused Israeli soldiers of using Palestinian civilians as human shields – a charge Israel has repeatedly levelled against Hamas.

Malcolm Smart, a spokesman, said: “Israeli soldiers have entered and taken up positions in a number of Palestinian homes, forcing families to stay in a ground-floor room while they use the rest of their house as a military base and sniper position.”

Comment by Chenae on January 10, 2009 at 8:31pm: I also posted to this.. and then could not find it, but please take a breath... we have no idea how many comments flooded and how disturbing they could be. I wrote Admin and asked, politely You might try the same. So far the only things I have seen deleted have been far beyond opinions or differing views,, but only that which is truly obscene or harmful.
We may not have all the picture or info.. or it could simply be a techno glitch. Always beter to pause before reacting.
Bless

Beware of those who claim they have found It

Comment by Khaled on January 10, 2009 at 7:55pm: I think everyone has the right to say his mind. No need to delete posts, since we are adults and each one of us has his own definition of "What is fair"... So PLZ don't delete peoples' posts or comments.

Comment by Faisal Alam on January 10, 2009 at 7:54pm: Find the similarity US and Them
Not the conflict.
Conflict will make those who are in chair and power strong.
we and they will be victim.
Not those who are holding chair.
