[Boston-editorial] To all editors: Fact-Checking the Herald for center column

[Pete Stidman]

Note to everyone, please do not center this unless you
can convince me that we should.  The article is over a
n=month old.  I think it is from february.  

I wouldn't be such a stickler on this but Sophia has
not mentioned in her email that I opposed it and I
feel like she is trying to make this into a majority
rule decision while not addressing my concerns.  

please do not center this until discussion resolves
this issue.  It is not fair to try and exclude me from
this decision.

-Pete
