[Seattle-editorial] Newswire Crap

[Gentry Lange]

Well, I didn't say that I wanted to hide it. One way to deal with crap like
this over the longterm would be implementing a rating system. Then I'd
simply rate this poster as "crap" and not ever have to see anything by him
again (because i'd rate other posters as "good", or 1-5 or something). That
way I could easily track good newswire writers, versus crap.

Another feeling I have towards the newswire is that this is almost a
duplicate post to the last crap he posted. Also, a newswire ceases to be a
newswire when it's overrun with crap. So while I understand freespeech
ideals, this type of post does not a functional newswire make.

Well that's free speech Gentry right?  I especially like the comment: "GOD
has blessed America and that is why we have bigger and better cars than all
other nations COMBINED."  The fact that this comment sides with the
sophistic poster only undermines him.  I could care less about specious
arguments like this.
