 <title>Posters do not remove comments</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/what-basis-removing-comments#comment-38425</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;There are only a few people who have the ability to remove comments from the site.  I am the one who most often removes comments and I almost always send an email to the person whose comment was removed.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is possible that your spam filter blocked the email that I sent so please feel free to send me an email at denise @ blogher . com if you&#039;d like to discuss comment removal. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>What is the Basis For Removing Comments?</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/what-basis-removing-comments</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;How and why are comments (not spam) removed?  Who gets to decide?  I don&#039;t  think posters should have the right to remove comments that criticise their posts or disagree with their perspective.  If you allow that, then this site has no credibility as a forum for ideological exchange.  Of course, foul language and harrasment should not be tolerated.  But who decides?&lt;/p&gt;
