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.
There hasn't been a tighter race in Bangor since Anita Caracio lost her reelection to Borough Council in 1995 by one vote.
ReplyDeleteKevion, How the hell do you know this stuff? You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteTruly a lesson for anyone who thinks that their vote doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteI know this because I was the guy that won that election by one vote. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave to disagree with Kevin. In the 2009 primary, John Rigione and Andy Szoke tied for mayor. Rigione won with a drawing of numbers from a hat. He then went on to lose to executive-elect John Brown.
ReplyDeleteWowsers. I stand corrected.
