Deleted Comments: Hadie Nuff gets censored

Recently I posted a blog posting on Patch regarding Steven Mullins, a candidate for the 10th District here in CT, and his views on guns, gun control, and mental health.

A commenter named "Hadie Nuff" posted several comments on Friday 21 Feb 2014, and I received them all in my email. When I came to Patch to respond, all of Hadie's comments were gone. Apparently there is a troll running around Patch, deleting comments that they do not agree with.

For the sake of Free Speech, and for the sake of integrity, here are the deleted comments from Hadie Nuff, in chronological order as written.

Mr. Mullins is exactly correct. Any thoughtful, level-headed person would agree. Unfortunately, Mr. Mullins lives in a State of left-wing zealots. Don't agree?

Thanks for removing my previous comments... The Second Amendment is important, but I guess the First Amendment, the Freedom of Speech...not so much.

Please understand that I will not tolerate any assaults on our Freedom of Speech. Every time someone comments on anything I write, it comes to my email. If I find it has been deleted, I will simply post it myself.
