I'm pretty sure I've read
exactly this before in the site comments, but I can't remember exactly where, it's been a while back. I've noticed this a couple of times over the past year. Following their unfortunate habit of doing what they like with reader submissions and controlling the message, it looks like the editors are promoting occasional comments to letter status -- occasional
right-wing comments, mind -- even though they have a box on the opinion page specifically for selected comments. Now why do you think they'd do that?
No comments:
Post a Comment
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.
