What took them so long?

The Gazette has permitted comments from readers since the day we first published back in October of 2010.

We have an at times very robust comments section.  We also have people that tend to go on and on about an issue they seem to be the only ones that care.

Then we get those people who don’t have the courage of their convictions who send in a comment from an address that doesn’t exist; the comments are usually in the scurrilous vein.

We also get some very pointed comments from people who work from the facts they are able to lay out; that’s when opposing views and opinions on the facts get very interesting.

A note sent out by

We need a good reason to not publish a comment.  Many Gazette readers take great exception to Mayor Meed Wards’ practice of not publishing comments that are critical.
