Hans Reiser arrestedHans Reiser arrestedPosted Oct 11, 2006 23:37 UTC (Wed) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Hans Reiser arrested by pfred1 Parent article: Hans Reiser arrested I remember seeing a comment in this place, but I don't remember being shocked by it. I mean, it could have been pretty bad, but not bad enough to make me complain to the editor. It would be better to restore the comment and append a "moderatorial" asking to ignore said comment. Unless the comment abuses the commenting system technically (think page wideners etc) or is outright obscene to the point of making LWN readers hesitate to even look at the comments (think pageloads of profanities, ASCII porn), it's better to keep the original, with a moderatorial if required. As for "the first time", LWN had whole stories yanked, unless my memory is faulting. The previous story about Nina Reiser's disappearance is nowhere to be found, but I remember it was there.

I have never seen censored comments, and there has been some weird stuff over here. It is a pity LWN had to censor this comment, but I trust our editor's criterion -- just this one time :P The previous story about Nina Reiser's disappearance is nowhere to be found, but I remember it was there.Some subscribers complained about it; it was merely hearsay at the moment and not relevant to free software.
