MSN, Community guidelines and standards being inappropriately applied.

I have been experiencing issues with posting comments on MSN for the past few months. My comments are often flagged as not complying with the community guidelines, despite my efforts to carefully craft them to avoid offending or accusing anyone. My intention is to provide supplemental information and alternative perspectives on topics and reports. I have also noticed that many news stories on MSN contain inaccurate and false information, and comments are often disabled for these stories. This creates a biased environment on the MSN website, as it does not allow for alternative information to be presented. I believe my comments do not violate the community standards and I would like to be able to resume posting comments like the one below, as sometimes presenting facts and refuting poor ideas is necessary.

“To explore the topic, I recommend looking into the double slit experiment and Schrodinger’s cat. Rather than simply providing answers, it is important to seek understanding by researching and contemplating the materials. Asking for answers is not affective, especially with complex topics like this, as human beings tend to have biases that hinder their ability to seek the reality of the situation due to cognitive dissidence. All I've given you some clues on what to research and I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of understanding.”

    What I fear is that it's just a taste of the future. Fact is... I really do not like nor do I respect those who have taken it upon themselves to decide what OUR future is going to look like. It will be a truly suffocating existence where the 'thought police' [Or whatever they choose to call themselves] are totally in charge. I can imagine a time where private conversations are no longer legal.

    I simply see no point to such a weirdly constrictive system.

    Dear Don Varnau,

    I have addressed in my earlier post on other threads on the MSN forums on the particular subject being discussed here. So please let me clarify some things which apply to the topic being discussed here.

    [snip]

    Here (again) is the relevant portion of my canned response on moderation. 

    4. Moderation is a dysfunctional mess. It's being done via AI, via a bot, not humans and is 

       random and inexplicable.

    6. I've searched but have not found a way to contact MSN staff regarding this moderation 

       except the Feedback link that's at the bottom of nearly every MSN webpage. If you receive 

       a reply to the feedback, it will be a generic reply that doesn't address your specific issue.

    Don

    Sad, but true, apparently.
