150%. I think it is BENEATH DU to delete threads.

There ARE threads that need to be deleted -- usually few and far between, thankfully, and IMO they would fall into these categories that I can think of (and welcome others' suggestions):

* ractially bigoted in the extreme (and misogynist, and homophobic -- and we're not talking garden variety bigotry here, which happens here all the time, sadly, but really hate-filled stuff)

* anything that could be construed as a threat to Bush or other government officials

* posts that could be construed as calling for the overthrow of the government

* posts threatening specific physical harm to any DUer or other person by name

* posts giving too much personal information on any DUer or other individual


That's all I can think of.
