A SECOND REMINDER!!

We posted a reminder back in November concerning comments about the family members of elected officials. Remember . . . family members are not public figures and, therefore, should not be subjected to public scrutiny in the way that elected officials and other public figures are. We asked back in November that you all be mindful of this when posting comments and refrain from involving these family members in the discussion on this blog.

Once again this evening, a comment was posted that was inappropriate, and comments that followed only served to escalate commentary that was already out of line. These comments have been removed, and comments of this type that are hurtful or potentially libelous in this way will continue to be removed.

We thank you for your understanding.
