I've e-mailed the R-G (using my real e-mail and everything) and the latest story from the R-G (22 Days ago)  on what I believe to be an innocuous post was as follows:

 “The algorithm in and of itself does nothing, it only responds to the votes of your fellow commenters and it was they — and no one at The Register-Guard — who deemed your comment uncivil. Hope this clears things up for you.

I am still unconvinced since almost all of my 'uncivil' posts have been deleted after normal business hours and on weekends and that those of "Boozer" are of a similar time frame,  I still think hese 'removals' are by liberal types who are working during those times at the R-G.  I especially believe that since their removal is in such a short time frame after posting and still occur after comments are made regarding them.

Obviously, the contractors have made no response whatsoever.  They want to keep their startup going.
