I came here hoping this would be a safe place to talk about Amanda Knox. [View all]

Even though I know not everyone will agree with me about her innocence, I trust that everyone here will have noticed the blatant sexism surrounding her prosecution in Italy, and her treatment in much of the European media.

About a month ago, a poster joined DU, and over the last few days he's been putting up OP after OP with info from Amanda Knox hate sites -- sites like True Justice and Perugia Murder File -- that rose up during the time the first prosecutor was screaming about Satanic cults and another attorney was calling her "Luciferina" in court. Is there any way to stop Fred Sanders from spreading this shit? Would DU ever ban posts from sites like this, that aren't political sites?

Or are we just stuck having to fight each separate post as more and more of these creeps invade DU with their hate? They're all over the web. I've felt lucky they were never here, until now.

As I said, I understand that it is possible for thoughtful people to disagree. But these aren't thoughtful people; they're vicious.
