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 sadly report that Mr.John Kasten is being taken off life support due to his medical condition. It is being reported to boro staff that his last rites were administered this morning also. The entire Bangor boro staffs thoughts and prayers are with his dear wife Karin at this time. Words fail me as I have personally lost a confidant and very good friend and adviser and teacher. A true gentleman and expert business manager..he will be greatly missed by all of us here in the Bangor community. Adieu John..
