I do know Citizen and Court from their postings and I have the up most respect for their opinions, as I do of many others who post here. I do not believe any of us knows who the other is. I actually enjoy reading most of the banter that can sometimes go on here. It is always good to hear both sides of an issue. Personal and nasty attacks of other bloggers are ridiculous. So, if I and the others feel a post should be deleted, we will delete it. It has nothing to do with power, it has everything to do with what is proper.
I will be the first to admit that I am not perfect, which is why I decided to reserve judgement on Joe Blow's presence on the board. I loathe banning anyone. I removed the copycats (there were two) because they had never posted anything substantial. I agree that there were some inappropriate comments, and I removed what I could, while still preserving the conversations that were relevant.
I will reiterate, this board is not a place for personal attacks or pointless insults. I created it as a source of information and an open forum for discussion on matters important to Everett. We are all adults here, so lets try to keep the bar high and go forward from here with the idea that we respect what each other has to say.
Thank you

Thats all well and fine, OK OK I hear ya loud and clear,however I said I would take it down a notch, I said it and I did it. So what more can I say to that? I apolagized and attempted to start a new, but a certain someone "Everettspride" aka councilwoman kathy gover decided that wasnt good enough for her. She kept it up and kept it up when she could. I ask her on more than one occassion to let it go and start fresh and if I recall correctly she said NO.
So what do guys (and gals ) want me to do bend over and take it like a
_ _ _ ( I wont say it for fear of offending someone-but fill in the blanks an you'll figure it out).That I cannot and will not do, your asking to much if you want me to take her crap, I'm sorry I wont do it. And if she continues with it then whatever I say to her she deserves to hear. I apolagized about this enough I'm thru apolagizing to her or anyone else about it, I'm done.
I'm sorry my type of banter my out there is a little harsh I'll give you that, my god I read my own stuff and I'm like wow thats harsh or thats funny or whatever... But I tell you this, its me for better or worse. I'm tough to swallow(no pun intended) I realize this I dont go down easy. I have attempted to alter that for you guys and this board, I like coming here but I will be dam if I'm going to sit idle and not fire off at someone I apoligzed to and ask to start over and they still give me crap, It wont happen I wont do it.
Ban me now because if she keeps it up I'm going to continue to let it rip. I apoligze in advance to those on here that matter (which is most of you with one exception)for whatever comes out of my mouth when it comes to having my balls busted.
Look long story short I said I would tone it down and I did, bottom line here is she (everettspride) needs to do the same. As for my type of banter for those you keep talking about it I will give you an honest attempt at curbing it.
Maybe you guys should be telling her to take a chill pill and let it go so you dont have to read my rants to and about her. If your so sick of it then yell at her about why keep coming to me. |

Just for the record I never said no to Joe Blow. I do not speak to him, only to the others on here who act like human beings who have respect for themselves and others.
Thanks

Could everyone please play nice? Stop the name calling and stop suggesting who you think someone might be. We've all chosen not to identify ourselves and everyone should respect that decision. |

JoeBlow: For the record - I think you're mistaken, both in your interpretation of the events leading up to a few posts being removed and in your estimation of whom Everettspride might be.
The fact is, JoeBlow, you came on very aggressively and with a large helping of crassness and vulgarity, and you can be sure that it offended people. It take people a while to change their opinion. It's not a light switch that can be turned on or off, and then you had that unfortunate problem with the copy cat. You were actually well on your way to being "rehabilitated" if you will - and then as soon as you are challenged in any way - you have to start with the name calling, etc. This is perhaps due to your youth, and I hope that Everettspride, AKA Sally - can recognize it as such.
For the sake of the board, I am asking you to "let it go." There's nothing to be gained from this - nothing at all. |

Fine as I said before its dropped, and just to clear the record as far as my youth goes BOB J. I don't see any relevance there, but whatever I think its an issue of my banter, it kind of like one of those things where you have to see it or hear it to understand it. Reading it is subject to possibly the wrong interpretation for what or how its meant to be interpreted. When writing on a blog everything is subject to the misinterpretations. Theres no facial expression or animation to help one understand where one is coming from.
That being said I said I would curb my banter and I will, consider the subject dropped as far as I'm concerned.
