Easton's Patch has just hit the Internet news stands. It's edited by Morning Call alum Tom Coombe, who told me last week that he's really excited to be writing again.You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I guess I'll stay here & speak my voice - peace as the Patch site requires me to register if I want to participate, screw that...
ReplyDeleteI won't fault anyone requiring registration. It is so easy to abuse the privilege of being able to post anonymously.
ReplyDeleteI sent a note to them informing them that I simply can't commit to any more sources of local information websites. I'll stick with Google when I want to find something, even locally.
ReplyDeleteNow you are reporting for the Bethlehem Press which does and has provided some great local stories, except when I read it, it's like week old news and I'm too cheap to pay for a subscription so that I might get it sooner.
they hired u? u r such aslut y will do anything for money and they r obviously desperate
ReplyDeleteBernie, glad to see that the main stream press (Patch) has accepted you. Enjoy the freelancing!
ReplyDelete"they hired u? u r such aslut y will do anything for money and they r obviously desperate"
ReplyDeleteThey didn't "hire" me. It was a freelance job, similar to what I do at The Bethlehem Press. And yes, I am a slut.
Re anonymus posting -- some of us may not be hiding...I tried to register, and got such nonsense out of the site, I gave up. cate
ReplyDeleteMost people will not comment if they have to register. I try to keep is simple. But then I have to delete a lot, too.
ReplyDeleteShould call that site crap.com. It is horrible. Nowhere to go but up, I guess
