[Boston-editorial] I had a mix up/editorial policy thing

[Matthew Williams]

That's what I meant. I think our center column policy works fine. I was 
talking about the general editorial policy--what do we hide? May be we 
do want to leave it vague. Tightening it up was just a suggestion. This 
is not something I have really strong feelings on. I think, at the very 
least, if we do tighten up, we should put in some sort of line (similar 
to the "these are just guidelines" part in the center column 
guidelines) that allows us to act if we see something that we feel 
really should be hidden, if it's somehow violating the integrity of the 
site or our mission (whatever we eventually decide that is :), to leave 
us that flexibility if necessary. -- Matt
