Read other letters about this article
Chris, sometimes when I write a particularly effective letter and I just know it's going to get deleted, I copy it to an email and send it to myself.
This time, I didn't. Why?
Because I honestly didn't think that this particular letter would get yanked.
I admire most of the editors at Salon and try to accommodate them as they try to accommodate me, a Premium Member. But there is one, perhaps two, people at Salon who wield the editorial knife with a very subjective and arbitrary hand.
I appreciate the complements I sometimes get. It lets me know that I'm not just talking to empty space. It also lets me know that while there might be one staffer who is on a personal quest to monitor my letters and delete the ones she feels are inappropriate, there are Salon readers who like straight talk and no mincing around.
Thank you.
