An open and robust discussion is never furthered by censorship ( I didn't get that off a bumper sticker, I made it up myself, although someone else probably said something like that in the past). If newspaper accounts are so inherently unreliable, why do historians use and rely on them to buttress their research and theses in scholarly articles? The Duke lacrosse incident took place in North Carolina, so you have violated your own rule on Virginia topics, however you should not be censored for doing so. Happy Juneteenth to you all.
