[Seattle-editorial] Newswire Posters and Removal policies

"Killing Jews is Good", is definitely fighting this. albeit not as quickly
as and as lengthy as I know some others on our newswire would. Funny enough
Arlynn has come to our defense. Anyway... I'm just gonna let this last post
stand for today, if he spams us heavily then I'll worry, but it remains low
to that post, then I'm gonna ignore it for today at least.

I was also thinking of posting this response just to see if this person will
comply on their own:

"Ok, well so as not to fight this battle endlessly. Handle's like "Killing
Jews is Good" clearly violate our policies... so if you change your handle,
then fine, go ahead and post... but if you keep posting under that handle,
then the IMC will keep hiding your posts... got it? It's not the sentiment,
it's the handle. If you read our policies, it states that Speech has the
power to harm, not "we believe in free speech regardless of anything". The
sentiment, that Rachel was misguided, is not one that clearly violates IMC
policy, the sentiment "Killing Jews is Good" is a clear violation.
Understand?"

Editorial, please comment on this situation... I don't want to bring this
down on us all by myself.
