Is the reason most likely subject matter or just a story being uninteresting? I would offer a link to the story but if it was rejected for the news then I don't know if it should be linked here either. It had nothing to do with radicalized religous sects or anything like that. Maybe it was just really so horrifically unfunny and devoid of comic value that it was kicked...

Thanks for the advice! I'd never even even seen that page. I don't know what was objectionable about the article, maybe that bulk of it was a quote- or someone may have written a similar story. Anyway thanks again for the advice!

Hi Harry, just sent you a PM on this.

It is that the crux of the article is a monologue. This would be better suited for the magazine, but break up the quote into more than one paragraph to make it easier to read.
