Nick Robinson "moderates" Liberal Democrats...

I have just read Stephen Glenn complaining that Nick Robinson has banned him from leaving an apparently well-justified comment:
I have just attempted to post a comment on Nick Robinson's blog on the BBC news site. I was attempting to point out to other readers and Nick himself that his throw away linking the words Michael Brown, Lib Dem donation and police investigation could be misconstrued in light of the general flow of the blog entry.
As a Liberal Democrat candidate from May 2005 and a fellow blogger of Mr Robinson I find it very disconcerting that I got a message that I was not allowed to post comments to Mr Robinson's blog.
I would like to know why I have been denied the access to pass comment to and correct Mr Robinson which other people clearly have. Especially in light of my personal knowledge of the field in which Mr Robinson is your editor.
I know how Stephen feels. I posted a comment myself pointing out that to my knowledge no one had accused Michael Brown of receiving anything in return for his donation. I wasn´t told I was banned, simply that this comment was awaiting moderation.
It still is.

You must not make what might be construed as party comments because it is a bbc website. Bit of a farce really - BBC political correspondent debates wth the publi providing they are not political comments!
Precisely and how do you correct misrepresentation by said political correspondent if you spot something that is incorrect.
politics without the politics?
But people who say "the sooner Blair goes the better" are there...
