What is wrong with the "civil voting", it isn't civil. It isn't about the content of what you write, express or think. It is about how many people "like" what you wrote. Actually, it is one or two people who manipulate the Civil Bot. 
They use multiple user names, they have or "he" has figured out a way to get people's comments block knowing that it is a "Bot" not a real person making the decision. It is a computer program that a "Bot", as in robot or robotics, run. This individual loves to pick on certain people, he is obsessed and driven by his obsession of posting his political diatribe. I think he is a very young person or just a very immature mind. Often he writes political drivel that has nothing to do with the topic.
I have voiced my concerns with copies of his shenanigans to both the Civil folks in Oregon and with the Editor of the Dispatch. 
The Civil Bot does not understand Alaskans very well nor does it have the understanding of true freedom of speech (excluding the no no's)
