[CIMC-work] editorial questions: putting our philosophies into action

[Garth Liebhaber]

hey gang, i want to draw your attention to this article by 
Chicagoan C.J. Laity, 
http://chicago.indymedia.org/newswire/display/36321/
index.php

Mostly check out the comments left for him and his return 
comments.

1.  Should 'J' be hidden?  He raises some points, then 
throws in a personal insult.  If it was just the personal 
insult, there would be no question of hiding it.  Yet, why 
are we tolerating it?  It's not necesarry.  A part of me 
suddenly feels like we would be censoring every little 
thing, but then I'm also tired of apologizing for my 
oppressors.  I've a good mind to hide it.

2.  Subject matter of C.J.'s article is not local to Chicago.  
But if we start putting Chicago authors on the local wire, 
we will get in a grey article.  We can't prove by article 
content if author is Chicagoan.  I'd rather make the 
decision based largely on Subject matter.  His concern I 
think had more to do with falling off our short Elsewhere 
wire after too short of a time.  I left a note informing him 
of plans to extend wire.

ciao,
garth
