    I love this discussion because it’s a complex issue.

    I suppose I stand on the side that maybe she should have just delivered them. It’s just words and individuals can throw garbage in the bin pretty easily. I sure as shit wouldn’t want anybody filtering my mail.

    OTOH, “got a job to do” is a weak justification for unethical behaviour.

    Put me down 3:2 in favour of delivering the things I guess.

      It is a complex issue and deserves a full conversation. It’s hard to say what I would do in her shoes, but it probably would be to copy a personal letter a bunch of times. The context of the letter would, of course, be a general warning about circulating hate speech mail trying to misinform people, and be wary of what you read.
