There were several complaints by posters on the JWB site this morning, that the kosher smut lad has begun to delete messages he disagrees with.
Here's a clarification, as to why many messages have diappeared from the JWB blog: The Blower changed the rules in mid-game and is now requiring that only folks registered on this blog service be allowed to post. Does it mean he's bruised? Possibly. His tone recently has turned outright hostile, losing some of that smug self-assurance. When discussing the fate of the Awareness Center, he went seriously madhatter, threatening to take up the Vicki Polin role, but without even the Vicki Polin scant restrictions on defamation without basis.
Incidentally, a link to my own story on JWB, on usajewish.com was deleted here, probably because the poster did so anonymously. I'll keep a record of this entry, just in case JWB erases it too, in a fit of youthful rage.
Reader AM adds (5/6/2005 11:45AM): I read your latest update to your usajewish site. You have one mistake:
"The Blower changed the rules in mid-game and is now requiring that only
folks registered on this blog service be allowed to post."
Even registered blog users cannot post. Only "team members" can post. A
team member is someone who the blog owner explicitly give permission to post
comments. Basically, JWB is only allowing his supporters the ability to
post comments, and all other Blogger.com registered users (and anonymous
users) cannot post.
I guess that "open debate" was too much for JWB to handle.
