Let's take our own vote here~
If you want to send a letter to the editor to the BG NEWS- you have to provide Name, rank, serial number, next of kin, blood and 1/2 a kidney.
I understand that. They don't want to be responsible for someone falsely using someone else's name and flaming people.
So why- don't they have to give names to give OTHER opinions on the editorial page? Grant knows who everyone is by his magic crystal ball- couldn't someone at the BGNEWS- figure that out?
Yeah- the Michelle Osama thing has me a little ticked. She can vote however she wants, But to defame my parents- one who is no longer here is just crap. She knows what I wrote and can say whatever she wants- good, bad or indifferent. But you can't START a conversation like that---Double standard- BGNEWS?
Hey- I'm the free speech queen here. You can say whatever you want- but you can't escape the consequences of those words.
In this world of technology and instant response-- things may need to be re-thunk!
In the newsPAPER world, a rebuttal had to be vetted and validated also.
They- BGNEWS- wrote to ask me my relationship to the Stroh's.
Really they did. Some time later, they got around to reading the whole letter and it came to them just like that.
