Which in no way reduces your obligation to try to make a first hand validation of the claim. It just means that you would have to enlist the aid of a Comcast customer to validate the claim.
Which is why I posted the question in the comcast forum. Please pay attention.
It would seem from many other reports that there was indeed a problem, it was with BRIGHTMAIL (the service comcast uses to send/receive email), and they removed the block around the time my post appeared. The troubling thing is that this is the second time brightmail have decided to block emails containing links to what could be described as "sites with left of center views". I doubt its Brightmail, more likely a lone tech who made this decision.
If it were for instance Rush Limbaughs site, you could be sure there would be lots of people here screaming foul, and Brightmail/Comcast would be accused of being a communist run organization.
Fair enough; I will endeavor to comprehend the question in the future.

I doubt if the issue is a lone rogue right-wing tech; more likely it is an issue of customer marked messages in scoring. Presumably, more "Red-State" customers marking the message as offensive would cause the filters to kick in.

So maybe you should lay off the poor techs at Brightmail (most of whom are probably as far left as you can get; Brightmail being an S.F. located business), and rant against your fellow U.S. citizens, instead.
