The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by metasonics (anonymous) on October 21, 2008 at 1:07 p.m. (Suggest removal)
speaking of films I just watched Dav Kaufmanns "13 hours in a warehouse" and I'm even more confused as to what some were worried about and opposed him filming in Fergus falls.
I know my friends in the UK said they liked it.

I hope he does not even bring up the idea of filming in Fergus when he is there.
Would serve the city right!

Yes, the city of Fergus has lost millions of dollars in revenue (or 10 grand if you live in reality).
By the way, 13 hours in a warehouse hasn't even been officially released yet, but the bad reviews are already showing up on imdb.
