MS LinkExchange censors BATR Columnists

Ms Shiela,

Your decision to remove BATR Columnists from LinkExchange is pure censorship. The conservative columnist community will not view your action with sympathy. Since the newly submitted banner was certainly in compliance and since you did approve the attached banner, I can only reasonable conclude that removing the site from your service is based upon content on the page.

What exactly is the allege violation of your policy? Be specific since your arbitrary action will cause severe and adverse breakdown in “Good Will”. What is the appeal process?

Await your thoughtful response, since your notification is not accepted as reasonable or factual.

James Hall
