Letter from the Editor

SurfWatch reports what's going on in the surf community. If readers choose to comment on a story, we ask that they stay within the parameters of identifying themselves and no profanity. SurfWatch has asked commentors to voluntarily modify their statements where there has been blatant and direct name calling without compromising their point, and so far most have done so. We remind those making comments to posts that, while SurfWatch has been a forum for members of the SL surfing community to discuss issues that are important to them and SurfWatch has resisted censoring, we ask that those commenting not use the forum for additional personal attacks. This is an opportunity for discussion, examination, and growth in our community. Consider whether your comments are benefiting the community and what they are reflecting about yourselves. While venting may serve some purpose to clear the air, at some point it becomes counterproductive and clouds the issues in irrelevency. While SurfWatch does not believe in censorship as it relates to our ability to report all aspects of the surf community, SurfWatch is interested in responsible reporting and will not be a tool to damage the surf community. Please consider your comments before requesting that SurfWatch post them.
