I think it’s natural that these issues come to the fore first in local. On average, we get a comment or two posted a week from people in the stories we publish. Almost all are respectful. Some are painfully thought provoking.

An excerpt from what may be my favorite user comment ever on our site. (http://www.pegasusnews.com/blogs/pegasusnewsblog/2007/jun/09/power/)

“…Anyway, just a comment on the Power of Pegasus…that the probable possibility that someone directly related with the story at hand will be actively involved in the discussion…something you’d never expect (or get) at any other news outlet. I’ll have to take that into consideration next time when I think about my momma being proud of what I just wrote.”

(The momma bit comes from the submit button on our comments.)
