Looking behind the curtain

Feel like you're all recovered from the media firestorm last week? Good, you're sitting down, you're chill, time to read this brilliant piece. I'm sorry I missed it last week, but maybe it's easier to digest now, from Whowhatwhere.com April 19:

  2. 'Commercial' Television must fill time, must gain eyes, must sell products. TV stations exist ONLY to make money. Feeding off of speculation, which, in the Boston case is occuring in the general population anyway, helps keep the speculation going and satisfies the viewers.

    Blogs etc...give non-commercial speculators a forum.

    Truth seeking as entertainment.

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.
