I'm very sorry, but a new policy just came into effect that banned discussions of the war on Iraq on h2g2.

Just to clarify, apparently there are other areas of BBCi that have been given over exclusively to 'War on Iraq' discussions. They're not just censoring, they're re-allocating resources and leaving h2g2 free to discuss the remaining 99% of the world not War-related.

Quite right - I should have added that it can be discussed on the BBCi message boards at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/h2/h2.cgi?x=yandamp;board=greatdebate

does that mean that anti-french postings like the ones that have appeared a while ago because of a certain president's position about the war will not be allowed on h2g2 either?!...

Border line and it the discretion of the Italics, I suspect.

We will try to be as fair as we can within the guidelines we have been asked to work within.

It only applies to postings made since the policy was implemented earlier this evening. It isn't censorship. It is the BBC making administrative arrangements to facilitate the exacting standards of editorial control it is required to exercise according to its constitution in order to maintain a balance of the opinions it broadcasts and publishes.

And other long, technical words in that ilk...

Loup Dargent Posted Mar 17, 2003
yep.. i've read the page about it..
it also says that inflamatory postings against one side or another would not be allowed... but what about inflamatory postings against countries [and their people] who are refusing to go to war?!...
if anti-french postings are still allowed then there will be a problem...
but, it's only a thought spoken outloud... i'm sure things will be ok... there have been a lot of improvement lately concerning nationalities bashing comments...
all the best everyone... talk soon...

Goodnight Loup, Amy et al.
Sleep well and I hope the hours bring sleep and a little respite from all this stuff. My head hurts...
