Politics-Local, Water Issue

WaukeshaNow is about what is going on in Waukesha. Having said that, nowhere is the controversy about our water situation so heated as on the op-ed pages of the Waukesha Freeman. That is not to say that JSOnline does not have it share of information and comments about the situation either.

My observation is the plethora of comments that are anonymous. That includes nicknames that serve in no way to identify the writer. Observing the writing style of many of these verses of vitriol, I see enough in common that I question if most of them are from but a few people writing under the different nicknames and the cloak of anonymity? I think the Freeman is using poor journalistic judgment and I have written them saying so.

If you can't make an opinion and identify yourself, you have no valid opinion, with few exceptions.

    Almost a week and no additional comments? Maybe there just isn't that many people against Sound Off and anonymous commenters? Better than no comments at all I suppose.

    "Also, take what you find among the comments with a grain of salt. Some people in online communities derive satisfaction from trying to upset others. Ignore them."

    Steve, would this be a bad time to mention it was I who first mentioned the idea for Sound Off?
