Wow.  I hate being the one in charge of "censoring."  Images of Fahrenheit 451 come to mind.  (Ironically appropriate)

Here's the deal:

Ideas are great.  Highly encouraged actually!  Discussion of ideas makes us all better people.  You absolutely have the right on these blogs to express your opinions and feelings.  That's why it was created.

However, everyone has the right to participate in an environment free from harassment.  Name-calling and discrimination (overt or implied) are not acceptable.  If done so in the form of a personal attack, particularly on someone else on this forum, you will be banned from the blog.  

Several entries were deleted from Rob's blog tonight because they crossed the line between harassment and discussion/opinion.  Several items were not deleted because they did not cross the line.

Please use common sense, good judgment, and general respect for an individual even if you do not believe what s/he believe.

Thank you.  I look forward to meeting you-all at the blog party.  I'll be the one with the badge.  HA!
Matt

I would not want your job. I am a "regular" on the weather blog and the normal chatter does not bother me, however I do agree with you that now and then people pop up and attack others. That bothers me as well. So far I think that you have done a great job! Thanks for keeping the blog fun for all of us.

Hey Matt-
I uploaded a picture a long time ago--- big surprise it is me with another horse (Seattle Slew's granddaughter) and it is still "pending approval." Can you intervene? Thanks. Hope all is well in Philly.
Cheers,

Happy New Year, Wilson.

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to not get BLEEPED on the blogs.

I would appreciate it if you worked with me a little.

Matt- I think it's awesome of you to comment on the blog concerning the "racial bias" in news topics. I understand and appreciate what you explained in behalf of the producers view point of the report at hand. So, with that being the case, wouldn't you believe that the suspects race would be a key issue in identifying him? Because surley without a doubt the victim in this case saw the perpetrator. So, why not acknowledge his race to the public? What is the secret? For the life of me, I don't see why the case should even be mentioned if you chose not to give a full disciption of the person in question. Matt, I am a "true" news fanatic. I know for a fact that this type of bias is a repeated practice amoungst "EVERY" news network and that needs to be addressed. Thanks again for your comment. jeebs1707 Pennsauken, N.J.
