Curious how Doctorow justifies the practice of disemvoweling, a passive aggressive form of censorship that boing boing used to silence people they didn't agree with but who weren't violating the terms of service of the site. Also wonder how all of this fits in the depersoning of Violet Blue from boing boing.
- emptysongglass 6y agoThis actually happened to me way back in the day when I called out Doctorow on Boing Boing for his relentless use of the platform as a soapbox for self-promotion.
