my new hobby is lifting threads from other blogs or online papers and posting them here..esp if an editor at another site is engaged in censorship. Lifting comments is fun, it's easy, and requires no intelligence.. and it's not like they are worth anything, so I'm not stealing.... it's kinda like sittin' in on a jam session!!and from now on I'll write things that will never offend anyone, never make a body feel uncomfortable, never make you hate me, and never ever hurt anyone's feelings..NOT!!
Remember Travis the chimp? The NewsPress had another commentary about him: "Chimpanzees can do many things people think are only human behaviors. Travis, for example, could drink wine from a glass, dress himself and even log on to a computer." That's what Travis-the-editor at the News-Press does: drinks booze and logs on to the computer.. and gets $100,000 a year! Apparently, anyone can be an editor...now, the site in question today is the Daily Sound. The players are columnist Cheri Rae, editor Jeramy Gordon and commentor MC Confrontation..Cherie has been busting the city's chops recently and MC confronted her..the comments were kept for a few days, then Gordon removed them ....Here's the gist of it: is Cheri mad at the city because she wanted to build a bunch of condos on her lot a few years ago and was denied? She hasn't yet responded to MC's allegations..instead, editor Jeramy Gordon removed MC's comments! CENSORED THEM!!
READY? log on!!
Dear Cheri Rae McKinney, purveyor of all that is logical and bursting with comprehension, and writer devoid of ulterior motives: you are full of crap. Here in this piece you whine abut how commenters can deconstruct YOUR drivel without any repercussions. You insinuate that commenters are only emboldened to write what they do because they are protected by a cloak of anonymity. You then go on to impersonate a venus fly-trap, hoping one of your detractors will identify themselves to the masses, as if doing so will either validate their comments or inspire the lefties to show up at a commenter's front door with the rest of the lynch mob. Let me remind you Cheri Rae Mckinney: you get paid for this. You elect to put your head on the chopping block by accepting and cashing a paycheck to print your opinions. You only caught MY attention when a colleague pointed out to me that you wrote a nasty piece on the city planning department, printing their salaries in the paper at a time when everyone is feeling the pain of the recession. That was filthy, even if it didn't have any "ulterior motives." Now, it's true city staff salaries are public domain information and available to any citizen who cares to dig. Well, I decided to dig a little to see if I could turn up the reason behind your ire for the planning department. You said your columns are grounded in "what's right, and... integrity matters." It turns out your beef with city planners is personal, Cheri Rae McKinney, and has nothing to do with what's right or a sense of integrity (read: ulterior motives). See folks, it turns out that in March of 2005 Cheri Rae McKinney applied to the planning department to redevelop her lot into a three unit condominium. Her plans called for some modifications to the city building code so that one of the new units could legally sit in the required setback and so required parking for the lot could be adjusted to fit her needs. Basically, she didn't want to play by the rules that every other person in town has to play by. Cheri Rae McKinney somehow thought she was above the laws that govern city redevelopment. Cheri Rae McKinney's proposal was shot down and she never got to redevelop her parcel to fit three residential units into a space downtown that presently only holds one. This is why Cheri Rae MCKinney carries on a personal war against the city planners in the pages of the Daily Sound. It's not because she cares about what's right.; it's because she didn't get what she wanted. To Jeramy Gordon, you have my permission to print this in the paper, though I doubt you will. I wouldn't want to advertise the fact that I employ underhanded columnists with personal agendas to speak to the masses either. THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN EDITED BY JERAMY GORDON.

Deleted comment : 3/2/2009
A recent comment posting the home address of an anonymous blogger known as M.C. Confrontation has been deleted for violating the Daily Sound's comment policy. We realize Cheri Rae and M.C. Confrontation could be viewed as public figures at some level, however, the Daily Sound feels releasing a person's personal information in a seemingly malicious manner, in any context, should not be permitted on this comment page. If the people who comment on these pages can not remain civil, we will not hesitate to remove comment privileges all together. Please help us make this forum a productive, useful tool and not just a breeding ground for hate-filled innuendo..
