“I agree with “concerned and inquiring mind”… PJ, please make it easier to post a new topic on this blog directly from the site rather than sending an e-mail. It is the greatest deficiency of this blog and raises questions about the the veracity and diversity of original posts. Why not eliminate these questions and open up the blog, as it should be?”
Once again lets clear up a few misunderstandings : first this is a free market oriented blog ,neither the democrats or republicans in this state almost ever get it right ,thus the mess we are in. We support some politicians because we like there stand on issues. To us New Jersey is more like a one party system ,the party of tax and waste .
Second this blog reserves the right to publish what ever it feels like …period! Sorry to break it to you but what newspaper or website doesn’t ? As I have stated on all to numerous occasions we hold back on police business ,because we don’t want to inadvertently interfere , we will publish some stupid comments,because we want you to know what some of your neighbors are thinking ,or they are funny ,clever just not the same poster or silly flogger repeating the same comment over and over to every post on this blog for 3 years. We don’t publish all the irresponsible its Bush’s fault because I got a parking ticket nonsense,you have national TV for that .
We try not to publish partisan or even non partisan misinformation ,misscharacterization or just plain lying from people with secret agendas trying to intentionally mislead people. There are not only many blogs,local flogs and websites for that but much of the mainstream media seems to embrace it.
We are a local blog ,that’s why its called “the Ridgewood blog” ,its about the Village of Ridgewood. National Issues are debated in the context of how they effect all of us .
We generally don’t publish “wife or husband cheating stories ” even though we recieve many. We will publish criticism ,complaints and policy debates about local issues ,get over yourself its called DEMOCRACY you don’t have to like it its the price you pay living in a free country. Questioning policies is not being negative its called thinking ,try it you might like it.
And finally ,bring your sense of humor to the table a lot of the comments on here are just busting ,you know who you are and you know who you are not. The Fly column has over 25 regular contributors and believe it or not I don’t always fully embrace everything they say either ,but they took the time to put together a coherent point of view . Don’t like it write one yourself and send it in .If you want to get it published on here stick to the point ,don’t blame some distant imaginary adversary ,have something coherent to say and don’t lie in such an obvious disingenuous manner .
And for those of you who occasionally get offended or find this blog a bit to controversial or feel its destructive ,remember one thing and smile ,you should see the posts we don’t publish they are far nastier ,more revealing and far more compromising than anything that goes live. Like the Ridgewood Blog or not people seem to tell us everything and I mean EVERYTHING.
So learn to laugh ,embrace your neighbors ,speak up ,have a little fun we all want the same things; good schools and a safe positive environment for our children .Don’t forget to say Hi when you seeing wandering around the Village .
thank you again
