Commentz Korner: Calling Detroit Free Press

Hi! I was just wondering if you folks at the Free Press knew that at least one of your online reader forums has been taken over. By crazy people. Conspiracy nuts. Filers of long, incomprehensible lawsuits. I can't even begin to reproduce them here because I'd suck all the bandwidth from Doug McCorkindale's Jaguar to the 19th hole. See for yourself at the Forum section Have we all forgotten? on your site.

Got a profane, racist or just-plain-crazy comment that made it past your Gannett site's filters? I'm collecting examples for Commentz Korner in hopes of shaming editors into action. Use this link to e-mail Gannett Blog; see Tipsters Anonymous Policy in the sidebar, upper right. Or leave a note in the comments section, below. (But be forewarned: I personally read and approve all comments on this blog before they get published!)

Jim says: "Proceed with caution; this is a free-for-all comment zone. I try to correct or clarify incorrect information. But I can't catch everything. Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
