Recently, during the process of moderating comments on the Dallas Voice Facebook page, I came across two “comments” that were both politically-based memes expressing patently false claims and that had nothing to do with the posts to which they had been added.
After discussing the situation with our publisher and owner, Leo Cusimano, I decided to delete those comments and to block the person who posted them on our Facebook page.
Understand that this person was not blocked just for those two comments. This was not a “first offense;” this person has a history of posting unrelated comments on DV Facebook content.
We at Dallas Voice believe in open debate, in making room for all sides of a story. We believe in making sure opposing opinions have a chance to be heard.
