BBCs frick everything up

It's great fun to watch the moderators working overtime to delete threads in racially polarizing stories.

One morning when I had a bunch of time to kill I watched one poster attempt, at least a half-dozen times, to post a hyperlink to the FBI Uniform Crime Statistics. No other comment, just a link.

Every time he/she posted it up within 2 minutes a moderator would delete.

He/she finally posted something like, "WTF I'm just trying to post a link to the FBI's crime page...what's the deal with the deletions??"

It was pretty comical and an indictment of the level of open discourse that NOLA (dis)allows.
