Actually, I take it back.  I just tried to drop a comment on the story about how our Science Minister feels we need to institute quotas in university hiring, and I got a response saying it was a 'sensitive topic' and only accounts that hadn't been restricted in the last 30 days could comment.  I was restricted 11 days ago, and so was blocked.

I was restricted initially because I didn't follow the posting dogma and leaned towards inclusion vs. exclusion, so now being more democratic than the mod pool meant I was restricted from posting, via TWO angles.

You have to toe the ideological line, or you're invisible, clearly.
