With the new civil comments system, there is no Globe censor.

It is supposed to be self-censoring by the commenters themselves.

Problem is that there are trolls and haters out there who will deem a comment uncivil if it goes against their prejudices.  It might be expressed in respectful and rational terms, but if it isn’t kooky left or alt-right (depending on their point of view) they’ll clobber it.

I’ve been the recipient of this before.  Easiest way around it is to re-post, since the system is random, and if the next reviewer has a bit of a brain it will go up.

In some ways it would be nice if we could see who deemed a comment uncivil – and why.  But that would probably degenerate into more mud-slinging, since those that are weird enough to stop a comment in this fashion are weird enough to get abusive as well.
