It's very nice, but not true in this case. I had submitted multiple  
incidents of criticism onto that sitesome more scathing than others;  
however, only the benign ones were published a week later, are, in  
fact, still absent. Other, more antiauthoritarian submissions have  
still not been publishedthey are forever lost to that which can be  
adequately explained by stupidity. Clearly, Stupidity has the  
authority to selectively apply itself to only those submissions which  
are considered too damaging to authority.
