		<description>It really is too much to bear to read this from a &lt;em&gt;journalist&lt;/em&gt;.  First we have to listen to their nonstop whining about how the first amendment gives them absolute immunity from having to testify in court--or indeed from having &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; of the obligations of a regular citizen--then we get a lecture about our duties as citizens.  This clown should be laughed off the stage and told to get back on his journey to the well deserved oblivion that he and his fellow journalists are taking.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Venturing an opinion, even a sound one, just isn’t worth the risk. The overall result is a less expansive, less robust sphere of expression — and sound, worthwhile thoughts aren’t shared…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>I regsitered with the paper&#039;s website, just so I could post THIS:

&lt;blockquote&gt;

It seems to me that Mr. Wasserman (and many in the old media) are less interested in the Free Marketplace of Ideas than they are in holding onto their market dominance.

The New Media, via the Internet, is rapidly replacing their doddering old media model as people realize that they have been being fed slanted and biased news for years and hunger for the truth. Over and over again old media giants are caught in selling slanted stories, breaking with their own ethics, and telling out and out lies. People are sick of it, and are seeking information elsewhere.

This has the Old media running scared, and searching for a way to regain control of the discourse and the market. That is all this supposed cry for &quot;civility&quot; is, a search for a way to CONTROL people.

Just a tip Mr. Wasserman: When you start thinking and saying things like &quot;But is the marketplace of ideas self-regulating?&quot; and &quot;The overall result is a less expansive, less robust sphere of expression -- and sound, worthwhile thoughts aren&#039;t shared.&quot; Your thought processes have gone down the road of Mussolini, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, and have veered well away from the ideas of Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and George Washington.

It isn&#039;t your place to determine what ideas are appropriate and what aren&#039;t. The Internet belongs to all people, and the marketplace of ideas will take care of itself. If you do not wish to take party, then keep your presence off-line, and fade into obscurity. But we do not need or want you &quot;policing&quot; our thought, thank you very much.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I doubt he will listen, but it needed to be said.</description>

		<description>I don’t know what Wasserman thinks he can add to an arrangement in which Allahpundit, Ed, and Michelle have entire editorial freedom regarding comments on the site. Does he imagine himself telling them how to edit their site? In his own mind, is he in charge of purging their membership roll? Does he expect them to sit still while he does it? It seems much more could be made of the circumstance that little fuehrers like Wasserman are really contemplating attacks on the freedoms of editors, publishers, and owners.</description>

		<description>And whom is the great arbitrator of these rules?  The people who run the NYT, the politicians we vote in?
Journalists?  Military?  Scientists?  Song writers?  Unemployed?  CEO&#039;s?
Everyone has an opinion, so have them voice the opinion.  If they want to do it and not put there name to it, then let them.  You have the right not to visit those sites, listen to those opinions.
Basically what people are stating is that if they don&#039;t like what is being said, stop those people from speaking.
If dKos wants to print garbage, let him, and we can print what we want and make fun of him.
The problem isn&#039;t what is posted, it is what isn&#039;t posted.  As long as there is a counter-balance, fairness and honesty will prevail.
Case in point is the many &quot;photos&quot; that were fauxtos.  With what some are proposing, those fake photos would still be around.  The people who took them to task were immediately vilified.
Taking Dan Rather and CBS to task would not have been possible without the maverick web...the list is endless.  That is what they really want to stop (the journalist) for the first time, are held to a higher standard of accuracy.  And that bothers them...they are used to story telling, and that doesn&#039;t cut it anymore.</description>

The problem is, The Wedge Syndrome. First you apply the wedge, then you split it wider until it&#039;s split in two. Once you&#039;ve done that, you can then discard the bit you don&#039;t want. Trouble is, everyone has a different idea as to what they want to keep, but won&#039;t allow anyone else to make a different choice.</description>

		<description>I guess I shouldn&#039;t be surprised at the many negative reactions to his article. Those who can make a case without resorting to cursing, denigrating or insulting others will generally have the best chance of successfully persuading someone to their way of thinking.

The anonymity of the internet has unleashed a habit of throwing away basic civility by many people. They probably would never act that way in public. I am scratching my head at the comments that say he is encouraging censorship.

 Everyone was bemoaning the loss of Buckley and praising his eloquence. I guess striving to be on that level is not a worthy goal anymore....</description>

		<description>Further evidence of liberal facism, you can bet the only things they will censor will be things that don&#039;t conform to their socialist views.

		<description>There are rules.  This site posts them right on the top of the page.  If I violate them, my posting rights will be suspended.  I have been posting at FR for years, and have had posts pulled, and have requested to have other posts pulled, frequently.  Only been banned once, but that was really my fault.

Each site has it&#039;s own rules that reflect it&#039;s own character.  This results in a wide variety of opinion and style.  This is a good thing.

Now, flame away if you want!  I have yet to be singed by an online exchange.</description>

No need to hold back here, dear. It’s perfectly ok now to say bullshit. Why even George Carlin’s 7-words-you-can’t-say-on-tv are fairgame. No need to fear the creeping smiley-faced fascists here. We can crawl down the ladder of evolution without fanfare. Why don’t we have a name calling contest and put it all out there. Purge ourselves, &lt;strong&gt;VENT!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>What do we have space limits now TOO? I&#039;ll try posting it in pieces just to convince myself there&#039;s no censorship going on here. Cue the Twilight Zone theme.
Something wrong with this site? This is the 7th time I&#039;ve tried to post and it isn&#039;t showing up but the preview is working so it&#039;s not my computer. (Sorry in advance if my post ends up here multiple times.) Site problems? or CENSORSHIP??? Ooohh. I see a HotAir &lt;em&gt;truthers&lt;/em&gt; movement on the horizon... </description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;LAST!&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Haha! (Wasn&#039;t it just a couple of months ago that either &lt;strong&gt;Bryan or AP threatened to ban some posters for writing   &quot;FIRST!!!&quot;? &lt;/strong&gt;  Wow, we&#039;ve come a long way! &lt;em&gt;/sarcasm off&lt;/em&gt;

dKos, HuffPo, et al &lt;strong&gt;will have plently of ammo to shield them against criticism for their ignorant, pointless and hateful rants&lt;/strong&gt; when the election gets closer. Their trolls have succeeded in infiltrating many conservative sites for that very purpose. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tsk tsk... you&#039;ve been warned.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>To put it into&lt;strong&gt; real estate terms&lt;/strong&gt;: in the last 3 months, quite a few threads on &lt;strong&gt;HotAir have gone from Beverly Hills to Compton&lt;/strong&gt;. Maybe the rules serve a purpose. 
&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;...Yes…like that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;idiotic fuckhead &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Bill O’Really&quot;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Anyone feel like double checking Hot Air’s “Terms of Use”?

hippiepunk on March 18, 2008 at 11:48 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

P.P.P.S. That&#039;s a take your shoes off when walking on the carpet rule.  You can still would through your house(i.e. blog) with your shoes on.  This guy wants to make it a rule not only where to wear your shoes but what kind of shoes they can be.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Naaa. Free market is best.

jgapinoy on March 18, 2008 at 10:49 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

True.  The market/societies have this thing called self regulation.

Ex.  There is no law saying when dining at someone&#039;s house that you can&#039;t put your muddy boots on their table. It&#039;s just not done.  Shame from others can succeed when personal civility fails.

In other words.  DON&#039;T FEED THE TROLLS

- The Cat

P.S. Also like all the haters on YouTube.  Enough people hit the thumbs down on a trolls comment and it gets burried.

P.P.S. This article is really about Leave my Dems alone.</description>
