Editorial: "Not everyone learned Indian Fire lesson"

Shorter unnamed Courier editor: people who flick butts are stupid. Funny, I thought I knew that already.

In looking over that first draft, try this test next time: Does this editorial make voters any smarter about this issue?

    could anything ANYBODY would have to say make voters any smarter on this issue? Paticularly people who dont already realize that for all intents and purposes smoking in the national forest right now is like smoking in a bathtub full of gasoline.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
