[Seattle-editorial] Removing Comments

[Gentry Lange]

Ok, I f'd up a bit, cause "Killing Jews is Good" saw me edit his article,
for removal, before it was in the hidden section. And so he saw the comments
I added as to why he was removed (as per editorial meetings we've had
lately.. I was trying to figure out how to do this, comment and hide a
story). He's gonna spam us over this I have a feeling... a feeling I've
mentioned in my other late night emails.

Anyway, I've taken the action of removing all the text from the comment, so
that nothing is visible. So that we won't draw more trolls to the problem.
This is my fear.

I think for now, we need to understand that in this mistake lies the reality
that we can't really do what we'd like to do, which is to hide specific
comments and specify to the group why, at least I don't know how to do this
easily so as to comply with the rule. All you really can do is delete the
text, buy editing the comment, and deleting it from the editing box.



Regards,
Gentry Lange
