Matthew,
Progressive liberal commenters complained all the time at Pandagon about the sexist, bigoted, racist misandrist commentary.
These commenters were banned and had their comments deleted.
Prior to Amanda showing up, Pandagon had a free open commenting system. Within a few short months, Amanda had instituted a moderation system. New comments are held and not posted. If they fit the groupthink, Amanda okays the commenter. Once you go outside the groupthink, you are history and your comments fit for deletion.
This is reinforced by Amanda and her coterie using the words troll, fascist, godbag, nerd, mra/fra (for men's rights activist), misogynist, etc. And then they start in on catty sexual commentary. This is applied to men, to women, to gays, to lesbians, anyone that disagrees with the group think.
If you use google you can find people at other forums remarking on this, and asking why the prominent liberal blogs are not calling out Amanda for the hate speech she promoted at her blog.
