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.
