I would say, "The people who work for the newspaper", but they are merely ghosts of proper writers/reporters. Not much brain power, since their egos take up so much room.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130276836696015673.post-24025342092369766542010-12-19T21:56:43.238-06:002010-12-19T21:56:43.238-06:00Were 7 regular Victoria Advocate psoters out of li...Were 7 regular Victoria Advocate psoters out of line?<br /><br />Or--<br /><br />Was the Delete Nazi hypersensitive this weekend?<br /><br />I'll let you decide. <br /><br />It was an all or nothing thing for me. Once they had removed 7 of my 11 comments, I just removed the rest. I came to the conclusion the Advocate was in no way interested in intelligent conversation. Only a couple of the regulars are left standing.Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130276836696015673.post-44486590870975564192010-12-19T17:30:03.575-06:002010-12-19T17:30:03.575-06:00Whoops, it seems that people are still able to com...Whoops, it seems that people are still able to comment on the article, but I cannot. So what gives? <br /><br />Not that I would want to waste my time anymore, anyway. And I noticed the VicAd said they weren't going to delete your comments about Claud Jacobs, but rather respond to them, but yet, your comments have once again been deleted. I wash my hands of the whole stupid mess!Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081429874378399282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130276836696015673.post-54620041200086479162010-12-19T15:16:14.716-06:002010-12-19T15:16:14.716-06:00And oh, wow, what a surprise.....the article stand...And oh, wow, what a surprise.....the article stands yet the 56 comments have all disappeared! Did we not see this one coming? Why even go to the effort of making an intelligent, reasoned statement or pose intelligent questions the public has a right to know the answers to just to have them go *POOF*? <br /><br />This is getting seriously sad.

I have never read such a nasty editorial, and have never had the displeasure of witnessing a local newspaper take the side of a witch hunt that won't rest until a university with a storied history is driven out of town. <br /><br />I think perhaps a certain someone who works for the university, who is the spouse of a certain someone who works at the paper must not have gotten a Christmas bonus this year. Thus, the second certain someone has seen fit to drag UH-V through the mud in retaliation.<br /><br />I only halfway jest, of course. I am sure it is much bigger than that. But I get the impression the entire newspaper needs to be investigated, as there are certainly some back-door dealings that appear to be going on.<br /><br />What else can explain such a grinch-y editorial?Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081429874378399282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130276836696015673.post-4714037597924316202010-12-18T21:49:47.417-06:002010-12-18T21:49:47.417-06:00You committed the ultimate boo-boo.

I think it was the last paragraph of your comment that got you the boot!<br /><br />They do not take criticism. True, valid, substantiated or not, they are not about to allow anyone to talk negatively about the paper.<br /><br />This just speaks volumes as to their credibility and integrity--they cry foul when the DA or someone isn't forthcoming with documentation for an article citing freedom of speech, but just let a reader try to exercise a disenting opinion, and all bets are off. <br /><br />Makes them look very petty.Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.com
