[Boston-editorial] secondly, what's our policy on death threats/slander/attacks in Comments?

[sharpie at riseup.net]

hey folks, so i'm glad that the majority of boston indy readers who write
responses feel as I do that Pitt's a white yuppie asshole, but i noticed a
few comments that seem out of line to me, for example:

 Aimee Smith is a bigot who has no problem squelching the free speech of
anyone she disagrees with.

Tell them how you called your fellow students "Nazis" and scrawled "KKK"
on people's posters, Aimee.

Tell them how you cut people's microphones during guest talks on campus.

Fuck off and die, you wannabe fascist.

and

 Ahhh. It's refreshing that Aimee Smith has not abandoned her true cause:
"Pay attention to Aimee Smith."

On behalf of patriarchical straight white corporate bastards worldwide,
I'd like to extend AImee my sincerest gratitude for discrediting and
dividing the opposition.

Don't pull a Rachel Corrie, Aimee! We need you!
_________

anyway, I feel like neither of those comments have a place on indymedia,
and would like to know what our policy is re: such things.

peace
