I'm a Stinker

If  you go after a skunk, you better be ready to stink. I posted stories on several controversial topics yesterday, and I've been sprayed. But some of the criticism is entirely justified.

A current Bangor Area High School student took me to task over my story about the high school's suspended band director. Here's what he told me:
"I read your posting guidelines and had to delete several vulgarities before commenting that I had hot-headly typed. The fact that you are banning vulgarities is funny to me, which most people use in everyday language, because I find most of the baseless attacks in people's comments far more damaging then fowl language. Your original comments did not upset me, but I'm disappointed that you're allowing a people to public tear down, defame, and ruin a currently innocent man. As a public writer and man yourself I find your moderation of this situation very poor and lacking. Below I've listed just some of the damaging comments that you so irresponsibly platformed. This email might not change your mind or spur any action on your part, but being a student and having to explain this to you I'm extremely sorry."
This is a valid criticism, and I went back to that story and deleted some of the more cRaZy comments. I can be a shitty moderator.

I was also hammered for my stories about the ICE agent, but that kind of flak just tells me I'm over the target.

  2. According to the Morning Call, McClure the Executive is taking on McClure the District Attorney for turning the guy in to ICE. Now you need a warrant to arrest someone in the Courthouse? In my opinion you were right on target
    The hat is very becoming. Don't the people around you find the hat offensive? Is it really skunk?

  5. They don't put you on paid admin leave for just getting a slice of pizza. There is alit more then we all know. One slide does not get this response from the administration. Something is definitely up for then to get him out of building to investigate. Time will tell. Something is not right. I hope it works out for all parties involved. Remember God loves you.

    They still teaching that lie? Probably still telling their captive audience that they're free and that they have rights.

    Hopefully their parents will set them straight.

  10. hands up don't shoot ends up fraudulent, but didn't stop the justice department from launching a civil rights probe that went nowhere because the original claim was a fraud. the left cheered the federal intervention. illegal commits additional offense by driving drunk, when the feds show up to take out the garbage. the left is horrified at federal intervention. elections have consequences, don't they? everybody is so touchy. shut up and vote and stop whining.

  14. I saw Bernie walking all around the Boro picking up (yep, you guessed it) ROADKILLS. Now I know what he was doing with them. You look good in that hat Bernie. I can readily see why someone would mistaken you for Donald Trump.

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.
