Comment moderation: How far is too far?

Matthew Ingram has a short post up about a comment moderation decision made by Kurt Greenbaum at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

In short, Greenbaum made a call to the system administrator behind an IP address that left two vulgar comments. As a result, the commenter lost his job.

It’s a post that’s sparked some fascinating questions for me. What limits should we set for moderating comments? How far is too far? When do we get others (authorities) involved?

Read the post and the comments. Good stuff there.
