Why was my post deleted?

[Lyric]

It would be the most recent one, in which I call a quoted blogger (NOT a DUer...a blogger) who smears all unhappy progressives as "white narcissists" who "have no real contact with the poor" an "ignorant bigot". Considering that I am a poor person myself and come from a mixed-race family, I was very much offended by those broadbrush attacks. Frankly, it WAS an ignorant and bigoted article. It's insulting (and flat-out incorrect) to claim that the only people who are unhappy with the way this nation is being governed are well-off, privileged white people. So far as I know, it is not against the rules to personally attack outside bloggers who are quoted here. People do it all the time to other bloggers (Nate Silver, Jane Hamsher, Glenn Greenwald, etc.)

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to include a link to the context thread.

1. It was the part where you singled him out for being new.

Obviously, the whole thread is something of a tough case. As you pointed out in your post, it does appear to skirt our rules by posting an outside article. The moderators have been unable to reach consensus, which is why it remains open.

2. I see the situation is now resolved permanently.

Much thanks to you and the mods!
