I'm sorry that you don't believe me.
Microsoft blocks posts for whatever reason that they want.

They have blocked thousands of my posts; even when I was helpful and
not swearing.

Block posts? *LOL* Then I would not have been able to post for years...
Yes, this is a newsgroup if you haven't noticed it yet, and a news
server hosts newsgroups. What's so funny with it?

Does Microsoft block posts?

Yep.

Does Microsoft block posts based on criticisms about the company?

Not while I was there.  Do they now?  Who knows.

That isn't to say that posts *containing* criticisms about Microsoft
weren't blocked, but that wasn't *why* they were blocked.  You might
think it is nitpicking, but, sorry, it isn't.  Think of it this way,
if a rule says 'Any posts with obscene language or personal attacks
will be removed' and a post contains a criticism of Microsoft using
obscene language, then that post gets removed.  Not because of
criticism of Microsoft, but because of the obscene language.

But, again, that was policy when I ran the ship.
