Bye.

Sue, I think that you are right. Generally, I allow commentators a wide range of views. Debating issues is the best way to deal with difficult issues.

Unfortunately, on the technical side, my blog doesn't like the disqus plugin, and I am trying to figure out why.

But, thanks for your astute note on editing and liability.

You said... After all, there is no difference between a great comment and a great published article.

You are right from an entertainment aspect. But there IS one very important difference. A publisher has a responsibility to insure the accuracy of an article and is not protected by the doctrine of free speech if they knowingly publish something that is false and defamatory.

However a blogger can write anything on a blog and it may sound "great" and be well written, but still be nothing but a pack of lies.

For this reason a "published article" should have a higher level of credibility.

One important thing a forum or blog owner should know.... that bloggers have lost multi-million dollar lawsuits by "selectively editing" their blogs and forums. Courts saw this as taking them from the level of a forum provider (protected by free speech) to the level of publisher. That higher level of responsibility cost them a lot of money.

So I would advise anyone that moderates a blog that attracts debate to have a strict, and fair, policy they adhere to when they delete posts and that they apply that policy evenly. If they find themselves deleting posts they simply disagree with, this could put them on shaky ground, legally.

Also, they should keep/save all deleted posts and give the posters the opportunity to repost under the "terms" of the blog rules. This would be good evidence to to have to show that they were trying to apply the rules evenly across the board and could protect them if they were to be sued later.

But, so far it just keeps blowing up - after a promising start.
