Everyone in the city cuounty building reads it. In fact a lot of are referring to is as the Deathstar because we got it from you. But what I'm trying to say is that no one I know thinks you are intentionally being mean to anyonee.It is just funny. I also don't think anyone hates you, but you apparently don't care anyway. LOL. I also find information here that I don't find on other blogs (I read all of the others ones too but yours is my favorite) and in the newspaper. Ignore Brian. Don't change a thing. I look forward to your next blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-76962085685627585602011-04-10T15:55:54.091-07:002011-04-10T15:55:54.091-07:00In order:

Too confrontational for most.<br /><br />* Yeah, that's usually how it turns out. It's easier to ignore than argue anyway, isn't it. <br /><br />* I don't agree with your assertions and you got a little taste of your own acerbic medication as I informed you of such. If that's what you call "civil", then I imagine you and Scott Moore would be great drinkin' buddies.<br /><br />If that offends you, then... well, whatever, I guess.<br /><br />* If I knew all, I'd not be on the internet wasting time looking for news and information. Then again, it's not like I'd ever know all - or anything noteworthy - on this site either. It's kind of like Brian's Blog, except more self-serving and arrogant. Or Knoxviews with a slightly less sensitive viewerbase. (Probably because there's not a lot of viewers, but hey - semantics.) <br /><br />* I don't hate you. Hate is reserved for child molesters, murderers and whoever's responsible for ruining "Chuck" after the first season. <br /><br />I pity you. <br /><br />Have fun with the politics. You play the victim very well, so you should have no trouble. All the best. :-)Brian Paonehttp://www.hubousa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-51922214803613814342011-04-10T09:16:47.161-07:002011-04-10T09:16:47.161-07:00I deleted them because you put your phone number i...I deleted them because you put your phone number in it. (Nothing personal. Just didn't want you getting lots of calls that you didn't want.)<br /><br />But, I've decided that I'm not going to call you because, quite frankly, I really don't care what you think about my reporting or this blog.<br /><br />I tried to be civil, but . . . whatever.<br /><br />You apparently have your thumb on the pulse of our entire community and know all.<br /><br />I don't know nor do I care who hates me.<br /><br />You included.Mike Donilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400768249723304044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-50815206271476996852011-04-10T05:34:30.842-07:002011-04-10T05:34:30.842-07:00So I not only fail to receive a phone call, but th...So I not only fail to receive a phone call, but the last two (extremely benign) posts that I left are gone too?<br /><br />Look Donila, if you didn't want discourse, then why did you bother? I mean, it's not like you believe any of this commentary is hitting close to home, right?<br /><br />Or is that the problem? ;-)<br /><br />Like I said before - YOU can call ME. I don't feel like wasting my time and energy on yet another person who screams "OMFG I WANT TO TALK THIS OUT WITH YOU GIVE ME A CALL" from their porch, only to let it ring to voicemail.<br /><br />Oh... and I'm still willing to bet Sherry Witt hates you a lot more than she ever hated me by now. I didn't like her and she didn't like me, but at least I was fair with her in my coverage.<br /><br />You clearly have a target.Brian Paonehttp://www.hubousa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-48719446670354220632011-04-08T14:41:13.788-07:002011-04-08T14:41:13.788-07:00Ignore that Paone punk!

Please feel free to call me on that if you want to talk about it further.<br />Regarding the writing style, helping further civic discourse? Maybe. Sometimes it does. But it's not the style that's supposed to do that. It's the information provided that should do that. And yes, I do. There's a lot of information I provide on here - some important, some trivial - but yes, it does provide discourse sometimes.<br />Please note, I poke as much fun at myself as I do others. It's the absurdities that I like to point out.<br />Again, this isn't a blog for everyone. And the people I write about know it's snark, rather than mean-spirited commentary. Again, feel free to call me.Mike Donilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400768249723304044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-50884185172957878262011-04-08T06:22:17.849-07:002011-04-08T06:22:17.849-07:00I guess you are comfortable with the way you prese...I guess you are comfortable with the way you present things, then. Damned shame. <br /><br />And for what it's worth, your "news" articles often show a blatant tilt in favor of whatever the Position du Jour happens to be for the ol' Metal Shed.<br /><br />But I guess it's possible you and the editorial staff have just been on an incredible run of agreein' with each other lately. Great minds and all that.<br /><br />Do you seriously believe your condescending writing style in "real print" and your pulled-straight-from-the-KNS-commenting-section blather on this blog actually HELPS further civic discourse? Why or why not?Brian Paonehttp://www.replayelectronics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-154001456580078802011-04-08T05:48:35.716-07:002011-04-08T05:48:35.716-07:00Brian, it's just a different tone and it's...Brian, it's just a different tone and it's not for everyone.

I mean, you're comfortable with the way you present your "information" here?<br /><br />Let me guess. You're one of those types that doesn't think blogs "matter", that you can say whatever you want in whatever tone you please and it's okay because "it's just a blog".<br /><br />I'd guess this is what happens when one falls prey to the wiles of local politics, but who knows? You might have been like this before people started kissing your butt and whispering sweet nonsense into your ear.<br /><br />The media in this town needs to grow the hell up, and FAST. Otherwise, it might be getting an overdose of its own medicine.Brian Paonehttp://www.hubousa.comnoreply@blogger.com
