It's sad that some people bring their frustrations or their disbelief to someones post...and from there it escalates to slinging mud and condescension. We seem to have had a lot of that here from time to time...
*nodding* .... I may be an l337 (^_^), but I just can't find a place for personal attacks.
@ Hargrove
I think that we should only have the option to report as abuse, comments that are inappropriate, and leave it to the editors to decide.
What we write inspires others to comment, and it expands the discussion and increases our opportunity to learn from one another.
Hargrove, I agree that commentary allows for discussion, but what have to learn from name-calling and mud-slinging. I already know that bullies inhabit cyber-space.
@ Gar Swaffar
Sykos, so right.
One persons rights end where anothers begins (or vice versa)
Exactly Gar!!!! I think the saying is "someone's rights end at the tip of my nose ... "
-- In general --
Maybe I'm just idealistic. You see, I have an opinion where DJ is
more than some of the other 'news sites' out there; more professional, balanced, and well-written than the Sniffing Post, citizen journalist 'programs' for the major media, the slew of blogs fostered by FotF and its like, and Faux News.
It upsets, saddens, frustrates, and disgusts me to see
excellent reporting sullied by some of the recent activity.
