YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE TRUTH

Last year around this time, Mz. Understood (pictured here) was banned from posting on the local newspaper's website.  I had forgotten about the demise of this stylish, intelligent poster, until Chris Cobler reminded me of this today. 

He must have had a slow day in the newsroom, because he stumbled upon this blog and it made him uncomfortable.  Nothing in this blog was untrue, sources were quoted, and nothing was taken out of context.

Subject: request

Hello,
I would like to request that you remove your blog post attacking me in relation to Aprill Brandon's column. Perhaps I'm too sensitive to such attacks, but I'm trying to focus on what's happening here in my new home rather than in the past. I appreciate your consideration and hope you're having a good weekend.

Chris

This is the same Chris that wields a mean zapper when comments are not to his liking and posters are banned so quickly that it could make one dizzy.  So, let me be clear, I have corrected mistakes when I have written blogs and I have found I was reporting rumors and not facts, but when I have researched and written the facts, such as the February blog about Mz. Understood, then my words stay. 

Blogspot has been my writing home for over a year and this is the first request that I remove any blogs.  Interesting?!


I have a dear friend who is fond of an expression concerning kicking a dog on a porch and being bitten. Be careful, this ole dog has been kicked one too many times by the people who work at the local newspaper and yes, my words do bite.

SHIFTING THROUGH THE JUNK: FINDING THE TRUTH


 

On my other blogs, I have gotten broadsided by some unhappy DJ fans.  Imagine that!  Their leader has finally been told "No" and they don't know how to function without her, except to strike out at anyone who tells the truth. These DJ fans have been blindly following her and her twisted reality for so long, that they are confused when their leader has been lowered from her pedestal.  Here's a hint, DJ Warriors, there actually is a world that doesn't involve line formations, high kicks, fund raisers and out-of-the world expenses for sets.  Find something for your family to do with your time and money that actually contributes to the world, not just the little universe that had DJ as the axis.
