Mary Poppins and The Hardy Boys were both edited to remove things that someone decided was offensive.
Some of the changes to Dahl's books look like the dumb down the language. Is that an effort to sell into a market with smaller vocabulary?

- dang 4y agoNo? Your question doesn't feel like a question and I'm not sure what your point is. If your point is "the mods are censoring me because they disagree with me" - basically everyone with strong passions on a given topic feels that way when they get moderated. I've written about that a bunch of times: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=%22always%20feels%22%20mods%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... - but the short version is that this is an illusion. Plenty of comments that agree with you don't get moderated; only the ones that break the site guidelines do—and the same for the comments from the opposite tribe.
