h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes it's me again, why yes I did already write a journal entry today. Where is it you ask? well someone found my language offensive.

I'm quite upset by this.

i wrote my previous journal entry whilst i was in a substantial amount of pain (i'm sure I mentioned the migraine?)

I was also very cold due to the lack of heating in my flat (the boiler is broken, i'm sure I also mentioned this?)

it was after midnight, i had been travelling for most of the day, and I had a miserable time at my rehearsal. Also I had just discovered an essay deadline of 3pm today about which I had forgotten.

I was upset. And now I am even more upset because someone has taken umbrage at my posting. Am I not human, am I not allowed to post my feelings, my frustrations?

it's 3.11pm and I am in the library. I have written 96 of the expected 2000 words for my essay. Due to my not handing anything in today, I will now lose one letter grade, so if my finished essay would have been an A20, it will now be a B17. this is only if I manage to hand something in before 3pm tomorrow.

I am upset and frustrated, but I cannot talk about my feelings for fear of causing offence to some unknown complainant. I cannot tell you all how truly miserable I feel for fear of my post disappearing from the site.

I almost darent post this in case someone decided that I am talking about moderation and am therefore breaking the rules. (it's really not any more, we changed them)

I'm halfway tempted to pack my bags and leave this site for good. If the offence of one researcher trounces the feelings and frustrations of another I'm not sure it is somewhere I want to be.

This was my safe place, my haven, but no longer, I cannot truly be myself here.

Actually, I think it was a few specific words that caused it to be yikesed, not the subject itself. But it wasn't the automatic filther, because I read it, and so did Santra I think, because he posted the link for you at the NaJoPoMo page.

I've no idea how the Moderation process works at this time - do you still get an e-mail explaining the reason?
