Kudos to the Olympian, Baird Resigns, Etc.

Although I know my blog is the backup for when The O has to shut down, my kudos to their moderator (I sent an email accordingly). 12/9's LTE comment thread was near perfect. I think the message is getting through loud and clear.

Brian Baird is resigning. Who do you think will be the Democratic candidate? The Republican from Vancouver is ridiculously under qualified (I did a search and suggest others do same). I'm wondering if Sam Hunt has enough recognition outside Thurston County.

Tell me what you think.

And yet 12/10's LTE began with 14 right wing posts including Dean98501 using Larry's avatar picture and ranting and palgerising his butt off. Ernie/alex/RenMan cuts and pastes Larry's initial post.

Funny how without the input of the usual lunatics the LTE becomes an exchange of ideas instead of insults. Perhaps aggressively weeding out these agent provocateurs is a healthy strategy. Yes you lurking bastards that what I said. Weed you out and toss you into the trash.

WOW....."lurking bastards?"

I like that, Anon!!!

We could do a special blog on "lurking bastards"

Hey...it's called READERSHIP!!!

Fear not, I've been talking extensively to The Olympian and they have a few tricks coming up their sleeves. I'm learning a few things about the legal side of this stuff.....fascinating....

hey Ernie, why not man up and post here you little shit.

Larry, since you have the ear of the PTBs at the Olympian, would you suggest to them that the drop-down menu for reporting abuse needs to have more options. They should add at least "Off-topic" and "Abusive" to better match the language of their rules.

Larry, the following was posted a little over an hour ago. Is this guy a real Olympian staffer?

Readers:

Consider this a warning shot across the bow. This thread is beginning to wander way off topic, and the personal attacks have begun. Please don't force us to close the thread.

In response to your two comments:

I've forwarded both to the contact at the Olympian.

Truthfully, anyone that treats them with respect will get the same in return. The Olympian staffers are just people in the community like us. I'm not sure if their software will allow such changes, but I'd guess they'd appreciate your interest.

Next issue - yes, tmcgee is a staffer (information that is on their website, thus I'm not violating anyone's privacy).

I appreciated the warning as I was part of the discussion that was sliding sideways and....let's face it - I'm not perfect, so I could have been just as guilty as anyone else.

I think it was great that tmcgee handled it in that manner.

Again....my kudos to The Olympian.

Well, they pushed too hard, and the Dec. 10th LTE comments have been taken down.

Larry has an insane clown posse following him around.

Paranoid much IV?

Larry uses multiple identities and or IP addresses to fool the automated system into registering multiple "complaints" making a post "under review".

That's how it's done.

Watch how fast this post disappears...
