WE HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE <br />
COMMENTING OPTION TO STORIES<br />
AND POLLS ON OUR WEB SITE.<br />
<br />
COMMENTS WILL STILL BE ALLOWED<br />
BUT THEY WILL BE SCREENED BEFORE<br />
THEY ARE POSTED TO THE STORY OR<br />
POLL THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH.<br />
-------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE:<br />
<br />
We have been receiving a number of garbage posts to the web site periodically that were automatically posted to the story or poll they were associated with. These posts were from &quot;anonymous&quot; web site visitors. Each morning these meaningless garbage posts were deleted as part of the daily audit and web site cleanup process.<br />
<br />
Lately, however we have been receiving vicious hate based comments on some of the stories that have appeared on the web site. Because of the change in the content of the comments being posted the new procedure outlined above has been implemented.<br />
<br />
If you make a post and you don't see that it has shown up it will be posted after the daily posts have been reviewed for acceptability.<br />
<br />
We don't have anyway of tracking who made the objectionable posts because they are anonymous. We believe in free speech, but we also believe in civility in the expression of that right. We will continue to be an open web site offering information and the opportunity to make comments&nbsp; to anyone who visits our web site.<br />

A FEMA Detention Camp Coming To A Location Near You?<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I know you have all heard the stories about detention camps. Our government would never do such a thing.<br />
<br />
