[IMC-Boston-Editorial] Ed issues

[Sofia JarrinT]

I'm ok w/unhiding the post pointing people to the hidden article.
  
  Also, we might want to talk about anonimity in the Editorial  collective. I'm not necessarily in with having anonymous editors, but  then again, I don't know the reasoning behind it.  I mean, I  understand wanting to stay anonymous to our readers, but amongst us  there should be clarity of who's doing what so we can engage on healthy  discussion about Ed. policy.
  
  Just a thought.
  cheers,
  Sofia

It would be great  if Sally could come, since she is perhaps our most controversial  editor. I won;t really feel that we are able to get to the real issues  if she doesn't attend. We need to talk about this stuff at some point. 
  I would also like to bring up "The Apology comments" that have been  hidden from this article:  http://boston.indymedia.org/feature/display/46558/index.php
  I don't have any real problem with hiding these comments but I don;t  think they are racist. Its  bullshit and doesn't deserve to be on  our front page, but there is nothing racist in saying the  Koran calls for the murder of non-believers. It does, and it does it a  lot. However, I think we ought to perhaps leave up the post  pointing people to the hidden article.
  Also, I would like us to discuss our  specific interpretations of the word "Radical," as in "radical  accurate tellings of the truth;" I've seen this word used in comments  to hidden posts that don;t seem in the spirit or free speech. 
  I am starting to think that we should be more clear with ourselves  and our readers. Hiding an article is not true censorship. We are just  saying that hidden things are not worthy of being on our front  page. Anyone can access them. Perhaps, we can reach a compromise  between more stringent editing, in the mood of Sally, but more  liberality in referring people to the hidden section and the links to  those articles and comments, if people want to read them. Any thoughts?
  Love,
  Jamie
