Israeli army bulldozes, kills US protester (ISM Statement)

[Bryan Atinsky]

We (edit group) are debating whether to remove them or not...always a debate
between free speech uber alles and the question of whether we should be very
strict about our four red lines:

1. No Direct calls for violence.
2. No provable lies.
3. Blatently racist statments.
4. No overt racism.

We have decided to hide (they are not removed) some of these comments...

The problem is we are constantly 'attacked' by a group of about 15 right
wing idiots.  They don't even attempt logical argumentation, they just spew
out a couple lines of hate...but there is always a couple of them on at any
one time and they comment sometimes over 100 times in a day.

To run around after them and their inanites is a waste of our energies. We
don't have a very large editing group...

It is actually quite a quandry to us, because we have seen that the flooding
of the site with a large amount of their hateful comments and articles has
been dissuading people from coming back to the site to read and also to
publish.

was faked") outnumbered supporters about 2:1 in the added-on comments
following the articles.
