I wasn't trying to be dismissive of your concerns, but I fear my comment may have come off that way. I was just explaining my reasons for publishing the story, and letting you know that your comment had been read by an admin...but that I wasn't likely to remove my own topic. I can't possibly verify every story I post, and in this case, the system worked as it should have: someone posted a comment taking issue with the story, and it got downvoted. That's how journalism 2.0 works, IMHO. Not by having the gate-keepers restrict and remove information, but by having the community as a hole judge the worth/accuracy/importance of any given story. I do pass over about 90% of the blindness related news I find, because I lack the knowledge to judge the accuracy or importance of medical information, so it is of no interest to me. But someone else is welcome to post that stuff, and I'm sure the community will do a decent job of evaluating it. But I don't think it's the moderators who do that by removing topics, it's the users who do it by participating, as you did above. Based on your admin style on AA, I know empowering the community to take care of itself is something you can appreciate.
