“That’s one way to shift the blame.”
From whom to whom? Me to you? If I say something that’s true about the yeshivish world, but it’s a “hard to swallow pill” and the mods decide that it’s better off kept under wraps, then I don’t consider there to be one side objectively at fault.
If one believes that we should hide our issues from the rest of the world like Chabad does, then I’m to “blame” for daring to say it in the first place. If one believes that forums like the CR should be a medium to discuss real issues, then I think there’s an argument to be made for not censoring out that stuff. Clearly, that isn’t how YWN holds.
If it’s your policy, I’m not saying you’re doing anything wrong by modding those types of comments. But, when you let people expose just about anything in other groups, you can expect people to be surprised when the censorship is stricter on Litvish exposes. It would do good to just call a duck a duck: this is a extremely partisan site. Nothing wrong with that as long as you’re honest about it.
Things aren’t modded because of being “bitter pills to swallow “. You assume that based on your lack of clarity over either what you said along with your ‘point’, or, as is most often the case, your incorrect assumption about why it was deleted. Which I think has been brought up several times.
