If you want to keep them around, then putting them on the front page makes sense.

The way to deal with bullies (and that's what we have here) is to call every single act just what it is. Some years ago, after the same bunch allegedly was involved in the death of a voting rights activist by interfering in the delivery of his medical care, those involved from DU elected to drop the matter. Now the same thugs are harassing Steve, whose only "transgression" is that he is running for public office as a Democrat. Increasingly ugly insinuations are swirling in their google stew.

You deal with bullies by calling them what they are, publicly. And if/when they cross the line of criminality, you follow through.

Think swiftboating -- because that's what's happening here. Dems must shine the big light on the thugs, every time.

but the grieving family's decision.

And that is the last word from me on this topic.

And I was not fully engaged then; dealing with some family matters. I do not mean to rehash old times, I merely mean to point out that the same kind of slime is happening anew. Here. Now. We can't redo the past, but we can stand with those who are targeted now.

But in this case with these particular asshole stalkers, they won't stop until they're repeatedly publicly humiliated.

That we are still at it...ignoring bullies encourages them.
