COWARDS AND OTHER FAIRIES WHO POST ANONYMOUSLY

First of all just to be politically correct the word "fairies" above is not a reference to anyone's sexual orientation. Secondly in the comments section from yesterday's post there are ten comments. There were twelve but the two most idiotic I have deleted. There are a few with names included in the text of the comment but then they were posted by "Anonymous". I am reasonably confident that the names Bethany Davis and Sharon were made up and I don't believe that Mayor Todd Cowan's name is legit in this comment section.

    Thanks J...! I've got your IPL address and I think you'd better crawl away. The profanity especially is what is going to get you in trouble.

    I've deleted a number of these recent posts including the profanity laced ones. I will be contacting blogspot.com and I believe I know the source of this nonsense. It's very sad really because although some of the comments sound like a kid, it isn't. And he has an Elmira connection. Really sad.

    Al ya get these dead beat loudmouths on every site. They are the 1st ones to whine if their families get cancer or are benifiting in some way with cash or a pat on the ass. Long ago l learned these low lifes have no stones. What you have done for the area is nothing short of worthy. These are the kind of people we like to meet on the ice in the corners so they can show their true family colors. Yellow. This article is how they work. Hide, hit and run. Keep up the good work and remember there are a lot of people out there that sponsor your efforts and respect what your doing. l always said that a coward dies many deaths. Label these clowns as such.

    Mr. Marshall. My community position and job doesn't allow me to enter a comment under my own name. My job and membership may not from time to time understand some of the comments made on behalf of certain individuals by myself. l could use a phoney name but choose not to. Our group shall be assisting you financially in the new year. The time has come to face the bully and play the game. After all Al, it is just a game. Remember this word "MISFEASANCE". Toss in a little under the table cash, perks, hookers and the game becomes a lifestyle. So our group is going to try and even out the playing field a bit. l was given your phone number and will be in touch my friend. Your Mason Advocate.

    Well I'm not quite sure what to make of the preceding comment. It's written politely and truth be told anonymous, polite and sensible comments whether in agreement or not with postings are welcomed.

    Hi to those who have posted and have had their ideas and personal expressions deleted. I can tell you as an IT account administrator that anyone who runs a blog and threatens you with your IP address is really not legit. Sure, ethically one should be careful with distasteful language - he is right FULL STOP. It would be the blog moderators job to remove really bad stuff. However, I HATE censorship ane WILL be conducting an ongoing scan of the Elmira Advocate and if this guy (Marshall?? can someone tell me if this is Elmira NY or ON my URL is global and I am getting weird hits) is deleting otherwise normal posts I will use cyberspace for a propoer response - and no - LOL!Amanda Marshall will not get a reply - so many are disappointed :-( with any (unintended) confusion about free music files - i love her songs. Happy posting, but again, clean is better if you want to get your ideas heard. If you are getting shafted... Peace. Keep it real. Keep it live ;-)

    I too believe in free speech but useage of the f word among others will be deleted. This is primarily an environmental blog and comments relevant to the postings will be left on. Non relevant and insulting comments will not. Simple as that. Your legitimate opinions whether pro or con are welcome.

    l as well agree with the allowing of all posts. Those however full of #&(*)$ should be deleted. Could you try sir to just delete the @$%*@ words and allow comments to still be posted? l do not support a censor site since our government shows us enough in our daily life. l understand that negative posts can still be productive for debate yet abuse of the English language through whatever means should be cut. l am on this site weekly and comment every now and then. l must say Mr. Marshall that you are well versed in many issues of importance. l read and like this site and will continue to do so. Trying to have the perfect people to comment will never be found but their input is important so long as it's within the scope of reason. The Advocate is a site l have learned many things from and hope to continue. Merry Christmas Mr. Marshall and thank-you for listening. Mrs. P.

    Mrs. P. Thank you for your comments. Overall I'm in agreement with your opinion about leaving posts on if they aren't profane. The recent problem I've been having is from people writing either gibberish (eg. hwcpomswubg) or even one posting in Russian! A few postings while not profane have been totally irrelevant to the posting, non profane but very rude and insulting. eg. "you are a jerk". Do you or other readers really want to read comments like that? My opinion is if I leave them on I'm merely encouraging juvenile, nasty behaviour. I absolutely will not delete any comments simply because their opinion differs from mine.

    Mrs. P.: I also forgot one other example of comments that I have deleted. These were similar to the nature of the non profane ones above but they were in batches of nine and ten comments in a row, all within a few seconds of each other. It seemed apparent that one juvenile individual was simply terying to take up space with multiple rude, irrelevant comments.

    Well, i agree 110% with Mrs.P - you either run the blog with transparency (deleteing the exclamatives if you can) or you shut it down. Your earlier posts aspouse for "clarity and transparency" about the business of local pollutors so walk the walk Mr. Marshall. Currently you are no better than the MOE the way you are running this site. PS - While you are at it why dont you enable others to start posts and give us your email address too?

    I'm still waiting for Mrs. P.'s response to my two comments above. Perhaps you do or perhaps you don't agree with her final position. Neither of us know until we see it. What a great idea, giving out my e-mail address! That's what I've always wanted, tons of spam and tons of nonsense. Enabling others to start posts? One I don't even know if that is possible here because I'm still knew to this whole thing. I've only been using e-mail and this Blog for a year and a half. Even if it can be done, my first gut reaction is start your own. In regards to me being no better than the M.O.E. that's like me saying your no better than say Stephen Harper. Or Obama. Or Desmond Tutu.

    I see you are waiting on me, and l must say coming from out of town to home makes for a long day. Putting my wish list out here. 1.Use of foul words or comments; Al should cut out words if possible 1st or have their posts deleted if bad enough. l don't believe Mr. Marshall deletes comments that are free of pool hall talk. lf so then l'm wrong about this site. 2.l do feel Al is trying to walk the walk but being new at this as stated l would love to see him lighten up a bit and allow some hot issues more freedom and cuss free. l don't see the comments Mr. Marshall but the trash you showed us that has occured l agree, toss it or the site gets full of dribble. It's late and l must eat, so please carry on and I will respond at another free moment. Mrs.P
