Thank you Layla4.   Yes, I've noticed the trend as well, and it looks like its getting worse.

Whether its Globe editors engaging in partisan moderating or its political hacks gaming the system to remove opinions they don't like, its certainly disturbing and unwarranted either way.

We're all adults here and I think we all want honest and robust discussion.   I pretty much disagree with Thomas on everything, but I don't want to see his opinions censored, that's just wrong.

Hopefully the Globe editors will respond to our comments on this censorship trend and take steps to restore more open discussions. There's great discussions happening here and it would be a shame to lose that.
