Although I disagree with your opinion of the NYTimes, I have no problem with
you or anyone else expressing their dislike for the times and the opinon
that the Times (r or any other publication) is unduly biased in one
direction or another. Doubtless, I would have equally strong and equally
negative opinions about the news sources you prefer, but that is not the
point. What I found appalling was the manner in which you chose to express
your feelings about the Times article, your demand that Craig Brooks not
post anything from the NYTimes on WOD, and the generally hostile manner of
your post.
There has been discussion from time to time about whether or not national
issues are appropriate for this forum. I believe that the general concensus
is that at least some national issues are extremely pertinent for our local
area. There is nothing wrong with raising the issue again, or expressing
your opinion that a particular discussion is perhaps out of place on WOD,
but it is important to be civil in doing so.

First,Phil Carlson. Maybe you need to clarify this to us once and for
all, isn't this forum set up to discuss local and state issues? If you are
saying this is a forum to cut and paste articles espousing views on world
politics then I am obviously posting to the wrong board. I have always been
under the auspices that this was to talk discuss air issues/concerns about
local and state politics that affect winona and the area around it
(obviously state/regional issues are also included in that). So, from what
I am to believe form your statement is that this is a forum to discuss
national politics, the mideast, the current presidential administration? I
am confused because if I want to do that there are a myriad of blogs, yahoo
boards etc. but anyway, I hope I am not being redundant in politely asking
you to clarify this for us.
Second, Terri Hyle, I for the life of me do not know how my letter
pointing out my concern for the validity for the letter writers sources
could have "appalled " you but I sincerely appologize for offending your
sensibilities...whatever they may be.
Thirdly, I appologize to the rest of the forum for if I am out of line
for pointing out that cut n pasteing politically slanted articles on this
forum which I thought was reserved for local/grass roots government type
issues, is inappropriate. If Mr. Carlson infoms me that I am wrong, then I
guess we are going to be having some debunking of common held liberal
ideology here.
