A reader sends in a sign an election is imminent:
Progressive Minds (PLP 'Youth Blog') appears to have been effectively shut down, thereby insuring that no one says anything 'off-message'.
Another reader sent in their experience on what appears to be the now defunct site, which hasn't had any activity in weeks and was reigned in through selective comment approval and selective comment editing after they couldn't control the message post-BHC scandal:
Not impressed with the "progressive" minds site at all. Understanding that it is a strictly partisan site, with most posters being full 'dyed in the wool' party supporters, I still would have thought, as the forum was open to any and all who registered, that they would expect non PLP views or even overtly ant-PLP views to be expressed. Arguments and heated discussions would of course be expected, and if you go by other blogs, name calling could certainly be anticipated. After some particularly vitriolic comments were made (more so from a certain PLP fanatic) the admin(s) pulled the plug. They restricted posting to most posters it seems, but amazingly, the one who was most in need of control... the one who was MOST offensive and quite frankly out of control... was allowed to continue posting. Out of complete disgust I have ceased to make any attempts to post after being blocked. Not that I thought that would upset anyone.... but low and behold I get an email from PM, asking me to come back.... they miss me! This just has to be an auto generated email... nobody would have the gall to send that out on purpose.... surely!!!
