Sir, – I would ask why negative letters on the marathon need to be included in the letters page in the first place – surely this is not the ideal place for reading these? Moving such letters to the sports page or the nether regions of the web would surely be viable? It would also mean that the vast majority of the population who have absolutely no interest in reading such letters would not have to endure such niche opinions, and could get on with enjoying their letters page in their own Irish Times. On the other hand, perhaps we all could go the extra mile and show a little bit of tolerance. – Yours, etc,
MARTIN KELLY,
Rathfarnham,
