Dear Editor.

[Ward-Minter]

Please can you tell me why "Diamond Dogs" by David Bowie was banned in the animal songs thread (CB). I appreciate that some of my political answers were banned for being over the mark but this?????  I am both bemused and hurt.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ward-Minter,

Due to the high volume of posts we get on the AnswerBank, it is near impossible to give you an answer to your query. Rest assured, however, that we are not in the habit of overzealous editing here and as this is primarily a self-moderating site, we take the Reporting activity of our users quite seriously and take action accordingly. All editorial decisions are in keeping with the Site Rules and Terms of Use. Moreover, some technical glitches due occur at times, resulting in errors on the page which necessitate the entire withdrawl of the whole thread.

Hope this answers your question.

AB ED

I heard Bowie had endorsed Tony Blair and so had to be removed to protect your sensibilities, W-M
