Replying to censored political messages that went to spam folder. Censorship is being disguised as "spam filtering". Earlier We wrote:
"EVEN A REPLY TO THE CENSORED MESSAGE, FROM THE MAIN YAHOO SERVER, WILL TRIGGER THE CAPCHA CENSORSHIP WINDOW."
One of the censors got upset by this and emailed me this comment:
"Have you seen one of these? ever? If you have seen one, please send me a screenshot, if you personally have never seen it, please stop saying so."
WELL HERE IT IS. I do not need to send this reply directly to him, since he is reading all of my mail anyway. This is what happens every time, except when you cannot even find the message in the spam folder. Usually it just disappears. This is called being "black holed".
Testing censorship
Go to either of these pages:
http://targetfreedom.typepad.com/targetfreedom/2009/03/fedsslanderchristiansa...
http://targetfreedom.typepad.com/targetfreedom/2009/03/liberty-defending-emai...
Copy and paste the entire message.
Then try to send it from Yahoo Mail TO A YAHOO GROUP.
TRY THIS WITH JUST ONE SINGLE RECIPIENT IF YOU LIKE.
It is easy to demonstrate that political censorship is being disguised as spam filtering
John,
What size group do you send these messages to? Isn't it possible that message was flagged by someone it was sent to as being spam?

I must admit that I was very skeptical at first, but now I think you might be on to something. However, I tried to send some e-mails with the intent to provoke this automatic censorship program that you speak of, but all of my e-mails went through. I even wrote about the Federal Reserve and Obama.
