NOT rude statements, honest statements. Try to find a threat or a curse word that i see on other posts, you won't find any on my replys. Just because these "regulars" gang up and report people when they can't win a discussion - doesn't mean they are correct. Is that how this site runs? Whatever agenda has more people gets to be posted and the minority opinions don't get posted? I know this is a "Private" site and restrictions are NOT at ALL like the Freedom of the FREE PRESS that we all belong - but I have hardly come close to posting anything Nasty that targets anyone specifically that i see posted all over the message boards. Also, the people that are making these complaints have posted much more diabolical messages than I have - they are hypocrites. I've only been on since the beginning of the year, posting just a few dozen comments - if you look into the history of these people, I'm sure they have posted much more horrific things than my lack of patience for fluffy promotion of other colleagues - which goes on constantly..... especially when you get to people making up dream dreams of anchors on various stations - which we all know are people promoting, themselves under the aliases and/or their friends... i mean... shouldn't we all post what we feel? isn't that why there are user name aliases in the first place??? are we all here to say nice things only about people or are we here to post the truth? i mean, we're in the News Biz- shouldn't everybody here post the truth and NOT be afraid if it offends anyone? seems like there's more lies than truths posted here. What about the posts of people sharing news on the misfortunes of other colleagues? should that be banned? well, I don't repost negative articles, I don't curse and I don't make threats- so if anyone is offended by any truths - that's their problem NOT mine. I mean, this is the news business - do you expect me to believe that any of these people would go to News managers to complain about any of these comment? NO - they'd be laughed out of the newsroom and they would get the silent treatment from coworkers if anyone found out the trivial comments the complaints are being made about. Should we only have News Programming that talks about nice, pleasant things like we post on FB all day? NO - a show like that would never get any viewers. the News Biz is one of the most PHONEY, Cut-throat, back-stabbing businesses there is - NONE of what I have posted even scratches the surface of the reality of TV news behind-the-scenes.
