We'll always hate Paris
The public outrage over Paris Hilton's early release from her L.A. prison cell may be justified -- but why are we expending so much energy protesting the antics of a spoiled media whore?
By Cintra Wilson [2007-06-08]

  • Why did you delete my letter?

    Yes, I called Cinta Wilson an idiot.

    I didn't threaten her. I didn't threaten anyone. I didn't do anything that I am aware of that would necessitate deleting my letter.

    Wilson compared Hilton to Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and Anna Nicole Smith. That seemed to me to be idiotic. Therefore, I called her an idiot.

    Is this to be the new standard of discourse? What word should I have used? What would have been the acceptable way to express my disdain for such a comparison?

    I need to know. And I think there are many other people who like to comment on Salon articles who would also like to know.

    As things stand know, this seems like unwarranted censorship. What is the explanation?
