    So, after those glaring factual errors, you think that my criticism of somrone putting himself forward as an expert was misdirected or unfair?

    No, but it did give them a legitimate reason to censor you.

    Any "expert journalist" demonstrating such an obvious lack of knowledge on his subject matter deserves to be called out. That is not a personal attack. Perhaps if you read the comments, including from a colleague, you might think see that.

    The roar are anti-force, we have known that for years.
    No matter what else does or doesn't get censored it's almost to be expected that a comment from a force fan telling a writer that his blatant ignoring the force performance on the weekend wasn't going to be well received. Especially when you tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about.

    I'd say your post got moderated because of how it was said, not what you said.

    How do you say "I think you should limit yourself to sports you know something about" without saying that?

    I actually find the SMH version to be pretty arrogant. IT is essentially saying that to beat the Waratahs we had to provide the best entire team in Australia.

    Not to diminish what the boys did on Saturday, because I do believe we should have made up a majority of the team of the week, however surely there were individuals in the other three teams who put in good performances and (at least) challenged some Force players for a spot?

    Obviously there was not one Tah who stood up to be counted, they rolled over meekly in the face of insurmountable pressure and aggression .

    They said it was because they couldn't verify my figures. They could simply have done what I did and downloaded the accounts from ASIC if they really wanted to fact check. I gave them the link....

    god that's frustrating.

    Almost gotta assume there was almost meant to be a "(be bothered to)" in their reply email.

    Hey, I had a comment posted on the SMH article linked in the first post in this thread.

    I don't think Pulver & co will be pleased to read it.
