In reply to libel, etc. » scared, posted by beardedlady on April 30, 2002, at 6:31:39
Is this really the kind of response we have to limit ourselves to when threatened by someone we'd like to see severely punished? Do you think it's natural--or even desireable--to reply in a way that supports a person like scared? And do you think it's possible to ignore someone whose speech is really hurtful, hateful, spiteful?
I know that responding to it is not productive. But it's instinct. Even reading the posts is like slowing down to glimpse an accident. But don't you think you could give us a little leeway to protect our territory? Can't the board dogs just come out and pee everywhere?
Yes, you're right. Then the whole place would stink instead of a couple scared little spots. Questions answered, then, I suppose.
