  2. Posts are made at conspicuously late hours, to avoid permitting comments until after at least several days have passed due to lack of moderation approval authority over the weekend
  3. Comments obviously approved with lack of regard for time continuity, apparently in order to present "good" comments prior to "bad" comments, in an attempt to bury negative criticism "below the fold," so to speak
DD, Im going to ask you to support your claims. So long as I have been posting there they have not dodged the difficult questions. Taken their time in answering them, yes, but not dodged them. You and others want an instant answer to your questions, forgetting that there is a huge bureaucracy behind those official posters that they have to run their answers past before posting.

Questionable reasons. Opinion, not fact. Bring facts please.

Conspicuously late hours, again opinion. Facts.

As for your other reasons, very thin reasoning sir.

Really. So if I make a statement such as "I think the weather today is wonderful" - a statement of opinion - how are you going to say that this expression of opinion is "right" or "wrong"?

Do some research, here and in other places linked from posters here. It is not my responsibility to perform your research for you.

However, Trollkiller's blog site, for example, has a running log of posts that have been denied, which plainly show that language (the stated moderation policy) is not the reason for lack of approval.

Look at the timing of most postings to PV - typically late Friday afternoon Eastern Time. Easily researched on your own by simply looking at posting time/dates.

Many posters have commented here on the fact that their posts are out of time sequence with when they were input into the system, with varying levels of delay (hours to days). I am not going to waste my time verifying information that you are perfectly capable of doing using the search tool here. I am comfortable with my observations and the reasons for them, I feel no need to justify myself to you.

I think it was Blogger Nico or Bob that posted that they approve the easy posts first and sometimes review the more edgy posts more carefully.

Still, Bob won't post a link to Schneier's article about the problems of CYA security philosophy, while CYA itself makes it onto PV -- it shows that the inept PV censorship is for image management, not family friendliness.

That isn't what you originally said, Ron. But I'll take the above as your admission you were wrong.
