Comments need to be cleaned up on both ends
Published 12:00pm Thursday, May 15, 2008OK, this letter about the cat being stabbed to death by the drunk guy reminds me a lot of a previous article in your paper regarding kids ringing the neck of a goose.
In Debbie (Irmen’s) article she goes on about this guy’s cruelty, and how it could turn into something more if he doesn’t get help.
I had commented on the article about the Goose, and so did others.
The one boy’s mom wrote a letter to the editor for us bloggers to keep out of it unless we knew the facts. Well, to me, Debbie’s article is much like the comments posted on your site regarding the kids’ actions towards the goose. In her article, fingers were pointed at the man for killing the cat and he needs help.
While I agree with what Debbie says, if bloggers are not allowed to post our opinions of articles, than your staff should not be allowed to do so either. Her article contained her opinion on the man needing treatment. I had said the same about the kids.
Please look into this especially now that there is a big fuss about bloggers, and our comments. It needs to be cleaned up from both ends.

Editor’s note: Unlike the blogs, Debbie Irmen shared her opinion and put her name to it. That’s what you do in an opinion column on an editorial page.
