I posted a comment on a post that was marked awaiting moderation and then not posted.  I guess to give them the benefit of the doubt it could have been user error on my part.  I'll try again.

both of these statements cannot be true. one wonders what knowledge fuels Rill's accusation.

For the record, the Times has published without edits 100% of user/reader comments. No commenter's comment has ever been trashed or spammed -- for any reason. 

In fact, the moderation feature has been turned off for more than a week now, which allows people to insta-post comments without a moderation delay. (Comments are still being reviewed and are still subject to editing/deletion if they stray outside the scope of our own Code of Conduct). But we will turn the moderation delay feature back on if users begin to abuse the freedom.

We encourage both sides of the political divide within the to comment and debate in the comments section of the Times. A more balanced mixture of commenters would be and is most welcome.

I do think Rill has a point, but I also think that the Times is at least trying to be less slanted than they could be.  I've posted here some mild criticisms regarding some things they could do to improve, and found that they are reasonably responsive.  That they were published, I believe, in response to the more slanted anti-claim Post, means that they certainly will appear slanted to some.  To me they appear only mildly so and as one who might easily be a "chief target" in the anti-pro claims debate, I find their effort admirable.  Are they slanted?  Probably.  But if you read them with that in mind the slant is easily corrected in most cases.  So do read them and do enter your comments.

As for the comment section being edited to be slanted, I'm not certain but only because I haven't seen the scope of comments made.  Perhaps anti-claimers just don't read the Times and thus, the comments ARE heavily slanted.  Hard to tell without any information about the number of posts.l

Finally, at least they asked me to submit an editorial and are willing to publish it.  Without restrictions on content or length, I might add.  That is a nice step  toward balance.
