You care to post any sources for this information or are we just supposed to take your word for it? I mean I can just as easily say that the moderators at CNN are removing the posts.

DISQUS is an interactive plugin
I wonder who owns and controls discus. I would not surprise me in the least if this company was owned or controlled by the "company".
Entire employee directory available at Disqus site. CEO is Daniel Ha.
After seeing the staff list, I doubt even more now that any of their (very few) employees are moderators.

Moderated and free speech is a double standard.

Glenn Beck had a poll on the blaze couple weeks back or so asking if people should be required to use real picture, and name while posting... Beck seems to be for more control in a round about way.
Meaning if you post something that someone does not like they can find who you are.
God knows some crazy neighbor might retaliate against you for not having the same views as him.

I think you're right and it comes down to the same thing. I take forever making my sites and when I get done, I may have all the cosmetic sense of a garden gnome, but it all works flawlessly and reliably, without fail. All custom, every time. This is why the extra work is worth it, IMO.
Heck... ATS here could have some eye popping features to stagger the members, I have NO doubt about that. I've seen the features and played with some on the admin side for evaluation on my own products. ATS (or any site using something like Disqus) would just have to be willing to cede it's control over data and user material. I'm so glad a few sites remain who refuse to do it, beyond the ads that are simply a necessary evil if people want sites without access charges.
