@Pica_A

agreed. i like to think of it as a teaching moment. as in #TheGridTo Editor needs to learn not to hide behind a 24 yo

@nealjennings

agreed. Let's accept these people have the right to their stories, & others have right to disagree with their opinions

11:40PM Fri, June 10 2011

@BrendaCossman toronto

absolutely...

@BrendaCossman toronto

i do have a weakness for teaching moments :)

@shawnsyms Toronto

Glad you're raising this question re #TheGridTO. Comments I've seen making fun of looks of those quoted bother me. And...

@shawnsyms Toronto

And the simplistic reactions to the honest confessions around safer sex also bother me.

@auralboy Toronto

some of the responses to #gridTO piece have been as shortsighted as the original piece. #kettleblack

@tdotsomebody

True but readers should expect quality as well as variety. Too many mediocre publications getting by on poorly written rants.

@corvinr Toronto

Has anyone demanded state funding be yanked or the publication shut down b/c they don't like the article? #PostMoFO #canqueer

@BrendaCossman toronto

I guess I have a broader dfn of censorship.

1:43PM Sat, June 11 2011

@corvinr Toronto

All I see is a vigorous community response to the articulation of a noxious piece representing the perspective of gay elites.

1:46PM Sat, June 11 2011

@corvinr Toronto

Which is not censorship, but debate, and the exercise of speech rights.

@jamesdubro toronto

@BrendaCossman yes it was oversimplified & generalized nonsense; "village" is v. alive & not every1 is or is meant to be activist

1:52PM Sat, June 11 2011

@BrendaCossman toronto

demands that it not have been publised: defacing newsboxes; throwing mass copies in garbage all fit my dfn.

1:53PM Sat, June 11 2011

@corvinr Toronto

Should a mag publish everything? Mags make editorial decisions & the community can hold them to account for their choices.

1:56PM Sat, June 11 2011

@jamesdubro toronto

@corvinr there was no censorship talk or neg action just a healthy discussion that actually raised Grid profile in LGBT world

1:57PM Sat, June 11 2011

@corvinr Toronto

In any case, I'd wager that from the editors' narrow perspective, this is the best thing that's happened to them so far.

@scottdagostino

@corvinr I've been sad to read threats against @pliving and copies of @TheGridTO thrown in trash but vocal critics are right.

1:58PM Sat, June 11 2011

@corvinr Toronto

@BrendaCossman I was not aware of threats having been made.

2:00PM Sat, June 11 2011

@BrendaCossman toronto

I disagree. Ad homonym attacks & pol correct vitriole of some xed line of rigorous debate

2:01PM Sat, June 11 2011

@jamesdubro toronto

You are correct if that happened. I did't see/hear it but while a ovally simplistic argument Grid f course has right publ it

@brendacossman Sadly, some of the comments on the site are, shall we say, 'overheated.' :(
