i personally think it should be hidden for simply being a cut and paste of a corporate news article. one of his many.....sigh. This is one part of our ed policy that we haven't really been enforcing - maybe we could start by posting comments asking people not to post corporate news, and then start taking down posts from repeat offenders (like victor)

We have do be very careful about hiding something cos it is 'insulting', obviously that is a very subjective thing to decide. it'd be really really bad if people feel like that they had to watch what they say on the wire for fear of being hidden by the ed gods.

Fair enuf . . . this usually happens - maybe some of them are visible because comments were attached to them rather than just below them. 

finn + clare (like voltron)
