For the record, I’m proud of the LGF reaction to the Boston bombings, and I have NOT seen anyone “rooting” for the criminals to be right wing terrorists. The reaction has been thoughtful and balanced, and nothing like the deluge of hatred that’s all over the right wing blogs.

There was a time when the first comments posted here would have been blaming the bombing on Muslims with absolutely no evidence. You see a lot of those same people now posting their hatred at wingnut blogs — because they’re not welcome here.

It took me some time to understand how necessary it was to moderate comments like those, but those days are LONG gone, and they’re never coming back.
