Roy writes "MEN'S NEWS DAILY Forum has been erased and disabled by the joint actions of the forum's owner and its newbie female moderator, effective Saturday, January 10, 2004.



Anyone visiting the MND Forum site will discover "O" posts on the forum where thousands resided only yesterday.Men's rights advocates interested in witnessing the co-optation of men's free speech on the Internet might wish to follow this story as it unfolds! The only current messages are two communiques from the self-elected People's Revolutionary Forum Junta:



(Quotes from site posts) --


Braveheart (Site Owner) –

"The old forum has been permanently erased. In future, only members approved by the moderator will have posting rights.

This forum will no longer be a haven for misogyny, women-bashing or personal venting. Violation of this basic tenet will result in instant expulsion from the group.

You must be a member of this group to post here."

Navyblue (moderator) –

"The forum is in transition. Please be patient with the changes and you will be notified/receive access as soon as the administrative kinks are worked out."

~ Robin"


Feminist censorship is real. By taking down the MND forum, feminists have just attempted to shove a gag into the mouth of every person that regularly posted there. The question is, how loudly will the activists respond?



Note - since posting this more important information about this development has come out. For one thing, apparently it was not an outside group that had hosted the board which decided to erase it but Mike LaSalle, the owner of men's news daily, (and certainly no feminist), who decided to erase the board himself. Read the comments for more details.
