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.
Too bad for the home owners as the city will never accept responsibility and the insurance companies will figure out a way to not payout as they are on your side till they have a claim, like a good neighbor till there's a claim and in good hands till you file a claim!
ReplyDeleteHey moron, wait until the crisis is over before you start your negative shit, or do it on LVL.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till the crisis is over as the media / community will forget it even happened. I'll the the hands up don't shoot protesters a shout out as they hit the streets in protest for days on end. This event will only be remembered by the 3 property owners when the "crisis" is over.
