No, you guys kicked her off, unless you can present an e-mail form her formally requesting her blog’s removal. What you guys at PB did was essentially fire someone before they could quit, pure and simple, and it made you look that much worse in the process. Was she planing on removing her blog? Apparently so, but for your folks to act prematurely like that demonstrates a lack of professionalism and quite honestly a degree of rudeness both. She did specifically state she would not be asking to be removed in the same post you folks took as her request/authorization for removal that they would not be asking to depart until after all of their co-bloggers had had a chance to be heard on the topic on the blog first as well as to allow them to say their goodbyes to their friends there as well. So yes it is logical to state she was kicked off, it is logical because it fits the facts. Saying something isn’t so does not make it true. You folks could not wait for the formal request of severance, you went ahead and did so as soon as you realized you had a increasingly noticed public spat/scandal happening and this was your attempt to minimize your exposure/damage. It was rather obvious after all, and most of us are reasonably intelligent people able to tell the difference between what you tell us and our lying eyes after all.

With all due respect, that’s a a cop out. It’s called “Progressive Bloggers” is it not? There is nothing progressive about curtailing women’s reproductive rights. It’s the same as a would be prog blogger cheerleading for Harpercons. It’s either progressive or it’s not. If you wish to have bloggers who don’t believe in women’s rights, fine, but don’t call it Progressive bloggers, call it something else. Simple as that.

Women’s reproductive rights are human rights. Simple as that. This is not something Fern Hill or I cooked up, neither–the Supreme court said so in both Morgentaler V the Queen in 1988 and in Tremblay v Daigle in 1989. As pointed out in my post, those supreme court decisions should shut down the debate permanently.

As for Dammit Janet, Fern Hill did specifically say in a post that before leaving the aggregator, she wanted all of her co-bloggers to have the opportunity to say good-bye. Here’s the link if you don’t believe it.

And here’s the quote:

…because as soon as my co-bloggers here have taken the opportunity to say good-bye, we will be gone from there.

Next question?

Speaking of moderating stinker posts, didn’t you kick off Orwell’s Bastard for insulting the mods over the week-end? Don’t you kick off people for insulting any moderator?

She quit, it’s not logical even to suggest she was “kicked” from something she didn’t want anymore.

No one will understand why there shouldn’t be a debate about this subject in Parliament if no one progressive except Fern is allowed to talk about her views. Progblog mods are not censors, we don’t have to chase down ever stinker post, that’s what other bloggers are supposed to do if they know more about the subject matter.

And disagree with Gord, he has 19 posts where he claims there should be sort of a law against late term abortions, all surrounded with his I’m a pro chpicer bull shit,

Hey if you want to be above the fray, put your ego aside

Massive screaming overkill? Really? Ever check out what’s happening in the US these days? Do you want the same to happen here? As I’ve mentioned, Woodworth, like Trost, Vellacott and Bruinooge all want to see women’s reproductive rights struck down completely. That so-called discussion is nothing more than a back door.

It all turned into kinda inadvertent blog-burst on what I’m calling Woodworth’s Wank, didn’t it?

In case you or your readers don’t know, there’s a petition opposing M312 to sign.
