I'm surprised how many readers don't seem to have grasped the Globe's Civil Comments process and still blame moderators.

It's my understanding that every comment first has to make it past a peer review system.  If it does, it may still be flagged for consideration by moderators.

I think it's fair to say that most Globe articles on feminism or immigration or muslims attract a majority of comments by readers who are against them.  I think we all have experienced the rejection of what we believe to be completely reasonable comments, but it's ironic that it's the people who dominate the peer review system who complain about it the most.  Welcome to peer review.
