Therefore, they are not coded to instantaneously publish information, like a blog is--these comments are being received by an entity, then later published by an entity. The mechanism (and reason) for that intermediary step can only be construed as censorship.

my favorite proverb:

	Never Attribute to Malice
	That Which Can Be Adequately Explained by Stupidity
		-- Hanlon's Razor   (see wikipedia)

(I modify "Stupidity" to: "Stupidity, Ignorance, Lack of Motivation, or Ill-Designed Systems or Processes")

thus it applies perfectly to bureaucrats, clerks, peons, teenagers, tragedy-of-the-commons situations,
and a great deal of computerized systems
