News agencies (print, TV, online) must retain editorial control over the product. Call it censorship if you will, but all outlets employ editors who determine what gets published or aired and in what manner. Civil Beat should employ a Comments Editor who vets all submissions for inappropriateness. It also should require a verified real name. If you're afraid of public exposure, then don't comment. Enough of this "wondermn1" and "Quiet and Effective"!  Got something to say? Then put your name to it.
