I sent an article to Lew Rockwell.com on Political correctness. I sent it last week and I haven't seen it posted or had an reply to say my piece has been rejected.
do you think it has been rejected? could it have been too controversial in my referal to the N word? Was my formatting and style not write for the site - it was in word ,quite long,quite academic and quite cutting? was it just a bad article?
I'm dying here in suspense.I'm rather be told no than not know.If it's in the pipeline then I'm sorry for being so impatient.I'd just like to know.
I don't really want to comment or read anything here.I have near zero in common with many of you.I may return periodically when there's something you need to know.

I don't know how Lew Rockwell works, but usually editors are quick in responding - Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 not that I have much experience Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I would send a polite email asking if they received your document, and whether they liked it or not. I'm not sure how many articles get submitted to Lew Rockwell, though.

I don't know, if you could give us a link or copy then we might be able to tell you.
I didn't actually know that you could send articles to the site, I assumed that it was all done by their set of writer (I really don't like the feel or format of Lewrockwell.com so I rarely go there)
Thanks for the help Jonathan.I will do.I think quite a lot get submitted.It seems like their might be a backlog.It gets updated 6 days a week so here's hoping.

I think Lew is extremely busy right now. Usually he replies with a quick "no thanks" or "I'll pass". If he accepts it he is usually back to you in about 1-2 days with the link and when it’s scheduled to run. In the last three i sent him i have had heard nothing back. If its been a week then assume its been passed over-- Keep pumping though, that’s the name of the game though! Even revise and resubmit at a later time

I hate to say it but I think your right.It's a shame I thought it was a good article but I can do better so no worries.
Open a blog and post your rejected articles there.
Sounds like an interesting piece. Political correctness must be exposed for the vile socialist evil it is. I'd be interested in reading your article too.
Not offices and bureaucrats, but big business deserves credit for the fact that most of the families in the United States own a motorcar and a radio set. - Ludwig von Mises
I once sent Lew an article, and he nicely declined it. I think a week or so later I realized how bad it was. If I remember correctly it had to do with gay marriage and somehow using the Amish as an example of "seceding" from the Statist policies, and living off their land while not intervening in others business. Even explaining it sounds bad. It's rather embarassing and I don't think I can redeem myself for it.
It is very hard for an author to know if his stuff is any good. You really need a second opinion which is really the first opinion because your own is totally unreliable.
I finally sent off the polite email suggested yesterday and I got a polite E-mail back telling me to send my article again ,so that's great I wasn't rejected!
Happy times.
I'll post my article below.I slightly modified a small part of it.
