Good on you guys for taking the time to be introspective about this, although it's sort of a cop out to conclude just by saying, "hard questions are hard!" and not taking a position.
Mostly though, this confirms my preexisting notions about the silliness of editorials in general. If the editorial staff can't speak for the actions of their own paper, than who exactly do they represent? All of a sudden the assumed authority of an editorial seems kind of illusory.
