An Interesting Day

I've been having loads of fun over on the Courier Tribune's boards today  . . . that is until I somehow triggered their Mollom SPAM filter.

Now I cannot get back on the thread.  And (heavy sigh) I've got another e-mail into the webmaster.  Oh well.  It was a good run.

I thought the problem had been resolved earlier in the week - when, after going several rounds with the Mollom people, they chatted up the Courier's webmaster about a "whitelist" (as opposed to a blacklist) . . . in other words, a list of people who are well-known to the newspaper and whose comments post without tripping SPAM filters.

Alas, that must be too much for Ms. Breitenbach.  I know my keyboard has been SMOKIN today.

Did a little recon when I got home tonight, and I acutally think my new nemesis on the Courier's boards, "Beth Smith", is this Beth Smith.

If that's so, I'd suggest that the new VP of Student Services at Montgomery Community College in Troy lighten-up on the "Trashboro" talk.  Some of her students may live in my hometown, and they/their parents might not take too kindly to a college officer ragging on the town where they live (as opposed to its corrupt leaders) . . . or trashing local businesses . . . or dissing a local doctor who has (for over a decade - it's an inside joke) had the cahoones to tell the truth.

I've heard from a number of people today.  Thanks to all for the comments and advice.

Last but not least, I think I've got another "cyber-stalker" (not really).

But this one (LOL) I LIKE!!!   At least he/she won't need a lawyer.

Welcome to the blogosphere, Attorney Watchdog !!! 

It's really warming my heart to see the citizens of Asheboro & Randolph County begin to wake up from our long local nightmare.  Now, if we could just boot some of these "arrogant and cliquish" (ah, that brings back the memories), over-paid posers and liars out of their jobs (and/or into jail), I think we just might take Asheboro back for the ordinary people.

Maybe we can be Mayberry again.  With Flying Pigs of course.

You really can't go that far back home again.
