"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

My Last Post Today

I have searched and searched for a comment at 11.12, to discover the original source of  several strong responses . I cannot find it. I do not know what  was  said. I've posted the  responses  without understanding them.

I didn't see anything  that I read as anti-semitic. If I missed it. I apologise sincerely. I did not understand the reference to St.Maximillian Kolbe High School.  I didn't understand what was being referenced but I know the detail is accurate so I saw no reason not to print it.

It's been a long day so I'm closing off now.

Good night to all .

Tomorrow is another day.

The first post under the heading "Another Opinion" was 10 February, 2012 11:12 AM.

I don't think it was necessarily anti-semitic, but it did suggest that we should "just move on" and stop dwelling on the past. It’s also fair to say that the point could have been made in a better way than comparing the death of millions of innocent people to what has transpired recently in Aurora, Meaford (twice), Halton Hills and Georgina.

I agree that we need to move forward but I would not call the response from the community an overreaction at all given what has transpired.


The comparison made should not have been made, even if qualified.

This is why parents of teenagers are unwilling to host parties any more. You never know who or what is going to show up at the door. Did you see the video of an angry Dad in the States shooting his daughter's lap-top because of what she had written ??

That video has been viewed millions of times and teenagers around the world are hiding their computers and cleaning up their Face Book pages.

Awesome video. Hannah screwed up by lying on Face Book. But what would be really interesting would be if every adult who has condemned her, who had lied on the internet themselves, had their computers killed in similar fashion.

Wonder if Christopher still thinks we should have Face Book to make comments. He views everything about the internet as being positive. We, who he calls ' fuddie-duddies' might actually be right on occasion. A compromise would be when he mellows and we stop being pissed off by his treating us like idiots.

An open letter to Mr. Christopher Watts.

I surely hope Evelyn publishes this.

I read on your blog today that once again you try to draw me in to your cyber world even though I have stated that I no longer wish to participate.

Let me assure you that the post on Evelyn's blog that you claim is mine is not. I certainly have better things to do at 9pm on a Saturday night than taking a shot at you.

I would appreciate it if you please stop referring to me on your blog - I have done the same for you. I have more important issues with my life right now to participate on these sites.

Why post here? I would rather not go through the sign-up process on your site to post a retort that has a 99% chance of never showing up.

Let me assure you, I have not made a post on Evelyn's site for a long time. When I do, I sign it. If your tin-foil hat tells you that other anonymous posters are me, then you, Scully and Mulder need to re-evaluate your roles in life.

While I look on this site, and even the Watts site once in a while, I am done with this process - as I mentioned a few ago. There is no need to drag me back in here - I don't need it to keep my ego inflated.

Please leave me alone Mr Watts. I want nothing to do with a cyber bully like you.
