BRIEF RESPONSE TO A PETTY, FOOLISH UNPUBLISHED COMMENT FROM THE IDIOT TROLL OVER IN GUELPH (Barry)

This is an example of why I don't publish the vast majority of his comments. When they aren't simply rude ("...pile of crap.") with no further specifics, then they are woefully stupid as he complains, whines and moans that I haven't produced the Open Letter To TAG members or the Open Letter to the various municipal and regional politicians as he did a week ago. In fact both those letters were published here in the Elmira Advocate in their entirety and clearly marked as "Open Letters". The first Open Letter to TAG members was published on May 14/21 and can be found using the Blog Archive on the right side of the page. The second Open Letter to the various local politicians was published here in the Advocate on May 29/21 and also can be found using the Blog Archive on the right side of the page. Very easy and simple. So it seems obvious that he barely skims over the posting of the day looking for something/anything to complain about and in his haste or inability to understand plain English he blathers on about "facts" or "issues" that his own worn out brain has imagined. If he even were to reread the postings once prior to sending what he refers to as comments, he would realize (hopefully) that he's misunderstood/forgotten what the original posting said. .................................................................................................................... Finally just let me add that for many years I did not use "Comment Modification" or what in reality is simply looking at readers' comments prior to publication. This was not necessary for many years as rude, stupid comments were deleted after the fact by yours truly whereas poor, weak, possibly uninformed comments that were however relevant to the posting were responded to, mostly in an informative manner. Even blatantly biased, pro Uniroyal etc. comments if they were on topic were responded to specifically on the facts and data and hence those commenters soon disappeared to avoid further correction. Barry on the other hand really is a troll simply too lazy to seriously read and understand and who claims that he has the unbridled right to insult, critize and carry on about everything as if that is ever going to get me to publish his generally incoherent, inaccurate, rude nonsense. If and when his comments actually are relevant and even half coherent on the issue that I have raised in one of my postings, then his comments will be published. Meanwhile anybody and everybody else are welcome to comment as long as they are at least close to being relevant to the topic raised whether in agreement or disagreement.
