[Imc-aotearoa-ed] AIDS-post

[Brian van Dam]

Kia Ora All,
                        How do people feel about this comment that was 
appended to a cut 'n' paste article on the origins of AIDS?

QUOTE STARTS

Comment: Persons with aids should be named, then taken to Timaru, should 
be placed in 4 striped sacks & thrown in the sea from a high cliff at 
full tide. This appears what the hospital authorities would prefer to 
see happen to the man who cut off his finger. I could go further and 
suggest that smokers who are hospitalised, due to their stupid habit, 
should not be treated. There is little chance of making a master race of 
those still in New Zealand.
QUOTE ENDS

I feel it is excessively encoureaging of violence to other people,and as 
such should be hidden, with a note attached to the article stating that 
a comment was hiden for these reasons. The other option is to leave it 
an post a rebutal comment, but I think this still leaves the AIM site as 
a potential host for `hate-postings'. What do others think?

Cheers,
        Brian.
