It DO Matter If You're Black Or White!

OneWiseWoman visited her public library yesterday. She used one of their computers and tried to leave a comment on Yahoo Sports...lo and behold! She was actually able to sign in and register her remark! After a couple of hours, she returned home and tried to perform the very simple task on her home computer...well, the Comedy Of Errors appeared yet again! Well, now she knows for sure that the geniuses controlling the yahoo sports comments sections have blocked comments from her personal computer. While she has been unceremoniously dumped, the proud KKK supporters' comments continue to be welcomed with open arms! Now, the "good news": She is not alone! Several persons of colour have reported almost identical experiences; one lady was banned from a particular site just for sending a complaint about some crude remarks from bigots! All hail the land of opportunity!

No Entry! Access Denied!

For the last 4 or 5 days, I have been unable to register my comments under Yahoo Sports. Everytime I try to sign in, I get the following error message:

"Sorry, Bad Request.

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting theYahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below."

I've repeatedly tried, without success, to rectify this "error". I'm still able to access my Yahoo email and leave comments under all sections of Yahoo other than Sports. I don't know if this is a genuine flaw in the system, or Yahoo Sports has found a new & creative way of banning my comments. I see comments galore flowing in from other sources! I'm currently registering my comments under MSN Sports.
