[Boston-editorial] here's what I was talking about

[Matthew Williams]

Yes, I agree, issuing warnings in borderline cases like this one makes 
sense.

I also agree that the IAC is, unfortunately, not above making things 
up, having seen them do it in the past. The reason I centered this 
particular article was because more trust-worthy groups like the NAACP 
were involved. I have also seen some Globe articles on this issue, so I 
feel fairly safe that the IAC isn't making stuff up in this case.
