Re: [StPaul] They Read Our Posts

[Shauna Croom]

i believe that if one believes their comments to be valid and 
appropriate, there should be no fear of being quoted (understanding that 
there is never an excuse for being misquoted - journalists should simply 
have enough integrity to be accurate and/or confirm the intentions of 
the quoted individual).  i say be forthright and substantive because 
they're out there, not in spite of or from fear of them.

i'm hoping that, rather than create a climate of restrictive 
self-censorship, knowing they're out there increase our level of 
civility; i wouldn't want to be quoted "feeding the troll"  or caught 
using the list to magnify my own ignorance.  i won't censor, but i will 
be conscientious.

community-building discussion, but am 
wondering if knowing a quickly written e-mail could
be quoted in the press at any 
time might cause hesitation.  Am personally much
more interested in 
forthright discussion around substantive issues than
tip toeing.
