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.
This is heartbreaking news. Tony was a wonderfully kind, extraordinarily talented, grateful and generous man. May he rest in peace and may Sia and their family be comforted.
ReplyDeleteCondolences to Tony's family.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the hydro electric renewable energy project at the chain dam in Williams Township, Lehigh Canal that the County was funding?
Having the privilege of working with many Northampton County officials, I must say Tony was top notch. May you rest in peace my friend.
