TechCrunch: Ten Comments To Delete

Michael Arrington discusses ten types of blog comments that aredeleted regularly on TechCrunch, Ten Comments You Think Are Cool And Insightful But Aren’ 102808t. Here is #9:

“I hope you die/I’m going to kill you” - These comments happen more often than you’d think. More on that in a later post. In one awesome example we got a non-anonymous death threat from a startup engineer. When I sent it to the CEO, he said “ah, that’s just him, he’s a little strange. Hey, when are you going to cover our new product?” To this day we haven’t mentioned that startup again on TechCrunch. There are lines that shouldn’t be crossed, and threatening to kill any of our writers, my dog, or my family is one of them.
