As I posted here yesterday, the SC Progressive Network<\/a>‘s web site and this blog were hacked twice recently, resulting in our site being down for several days. Both times, the site had to be restored, and some files were lost in the shuffle. Three blog comments were among them, but have since been retrieved. I’m posting them below, hoping to clear up any confusion among those frustrated that their comments disappeared.<\/p>\n

\nGosh, I had a comment here pointing out extensive flaws in your post. You deleted it. Hmmm\u2026.wonder why. If my arguments were wrong why did you not refute them?<\/p>\n

\nYour post was not removed; our site has been hacked \u2014 twice in a week \u2014 and we\u2019ve lost files. If you care to repost, please do. Your comments are welcome, but I won\u2019t engage you in debate, as I find it pointless arguing with people who use God as a political tool. I visited your site, so I have a clue how you\u2019ve derived your ideology. You are entitled to your views, of course, but please don\u2019t impose them on me or other women who believe differently.<\/p>\n

\nLisa in my experience blogs like this are not looking for facts or the truth but are just pushing an agenda. Anyone that puts light on the facts would in anyway refute their ultimate goal of pushing their false premise must be silenced. These same people that always cry for free speech in fact are for censoring speech when it disagrees with them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the record, this site does not — and will not — censor anyone’s comments, unless they are threatening or clearly offensive (not just obnoxious). To date, we have not done so. To see examples of postings that we’d remove if we believed in that sort of thing, see our YouTube channel here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Much as we may disagree with some of those comments, we believe in open and free dialogue. We sometimes wish the comments were more respectful, but it is not our job to police what people say.<\/p>\n

To those who want to add their two cents on this blog, you should know that certain words will divert your comment into the spam queue until it gets admin approval. That may take several hours, so if your comment doesn’t appear immediately, please be patient; it eventually will be posted. That is probably what happened to William Hamilton yesterday. He made a comment that was flagged as spam, and posted a second comment making the same point. Both comments were retrieved from the spam queue and posted.<\/p>\n

We encourage folks to share their thoughts here and on YouTube, and welcome divergent perspectives. We also welcome any essays, videos or photos you think might be of interest to the progressive community in South Carolina. Send items you wish to share to becci@scpronet.com.<\/p>\n

Finally, a big thanks to our tech wizard, Steve Hait, for getting our web site up and running after both hack jobs, and for working to make the site more secure.<\/p>\n
