Violating Community Standards

Khameni---Reuters

Ah well, someone invoked the censors. It

seems the title of your version of a news item

and the blog entry clarifying it gave offence.

The censors note for your edification that it

cannot be published unless obligatory alterations

are made rendering the piece inoffensive and

thus incomplete. The title alone must have been

the arresting notice: 'Conquest-Seeking, Death-

Threatening Iran' -- qualifying the entry on your

Politic? blog an offence against 'Community

Standards'. Containing as it did quotes from

noted journalists with proper attribution along 

with forbidden personal perceptions it was judged

unfit for publication. By the very same media

titan that sees no problem in hosting on its sites

religious fanatics who openly declare their hatred

and sinister plans to obliterate a state and its people. 

Long past time to recognize that position appears

to meet the exacting metric of community standards.
