Editors Desk: About this blog

The Editor's Desk is the blog by three of the top editors at The Bee -- Mark Vasche, Dan Day and Dave Lyghtle -- in which they discuss a wide range of topics and media coverage of those topics. The blog is a good source of information about The Bee, modbee.com and other Bee publications and Web sites. It is designed as a vehicle for the editors to inform and interact with readers in an informal yet respectful manner. For links to more information about the editors, please turn to to our profile page.

Dan

We have been very pleased by the Bee providing a forum for all to discuss issues and so forth.

On the Hive we currently need a decision to be made, Jheaton has just written a blog which has targeted two other hive members, and you said that the next blogger who writes a blog targeting another hive member will be banned.

Truthseekers has just written a blog where he explains to you and provides evidence that heaton has did not follow your order, and since all others have except activist1, we would like your judgement handed down against jheaton.

Please check Ok desk that talks.

Breaking my silence....

I was speaking with someone today that gave me a bit of deja vu - this person said that they no longer come to the hive because of all of the racial rhetoric and the argumentative back and forth that it causes.

This was readily agreed upon by several others.

And this is not the first time I have heard of this.

If you could tighten up the ship a bit, I think it would be good for OUR traffic here.

Of course it is up to you, but really, some of this is seeming to be a bit much. I liken it to a helicopter dropping leaflets during wartime - but several of them.

helicopters and wars.

restraint and respect...

instead of balls-to-the-wall insulting stupidity makes for far better conversation.

I agree ae...But..

and you knew a but was coming, we've seen how it has elevated the posts between you and the armchair activist and I just wondered how that was working out for you?...:)

I would like to thank the

I would like to thank the Bee for this local forum of public participation. Although I may or may not agree with everyone's opinion I still think it is a great place to visit and share thoughts.

We must all cherish our freedom of speech.

One question I have; are there any independant bloggers paid / sub contracted by the Bee to post other than it's normal staff members?

Opinion

MPD get 8 addittional, who pays after the grant? My condolemces to the Officers family who died after four years in a coma

Burnsgracie and Robert

Was at DT restaurant today, four from Big Valley were discussing return of money to the City, now the $750,000 which caused the havoc against my family by that dibinity, thanks Harry  Swanson and Thomas Gingerich, is that new money or the $750,000 from this format? I believe this a grand jury issue should address as Blaine Amendment violations which the District Court will hear sooner than later. Maybe you disagree but that's the law.

If Dan is willing to put up with Racism then it's on him..

but most people don't like it.

Joe McCarthy...

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand the question.

... what can I say? While she purposefully avoids reasoned debate hopefully I've passed on some helpful info to folks. We know who has the truth and who hides behind the lie. Dealing with her is an exercise in frustration... but then she echoes the voices in her "network" - like Calvina Fay, Joyce Nalepka, Steven Steiner and others - and I will always rebut and refute their BS when I can.

As far as how it has worked out for me? ummm... I'd probably have more letters and opeds written and published, more reading done (of other material). Of course I have realized that her harsh and senseless rhetoric has cost her far more support than any she has gained. For me personally, it's a wash. How others see the 3 years long back-and-forth I have a bit of an idea.

The nice thing for me is that others do a fine job of mantaining the flow and I'm proud to be one of a growing choir for change.

At this point in time they have become an anachronism and a merely shrill and small chorus of voices (think "it's a scam people!") on the sidelines.

Do You Know Me?

 How do you know my name? I cant remember telling anyone.

Your words dont reflect nothin cuz they are nothin.

When I first started reading your posts I thought you were my kinda guy. But now I see you for what you are and I would not want to be any thing like you at all.

Youd argue with a brick wall if you thought it could get you a hit or two on your web sights.

When it comes to Pros and Cons?

Your a con!

CowBoy UP!

Robert

Iy wasn't so much a question but a request...so I'll ask you; should the City or any divinity exhnage funds? That is pattenly prosribed by Everson (1947) still stands and the california Contitution, Modesto leaders are so inept...these were not bad men, we all seek salvation, but they spoke of the funds exchnage. In 1998 the City secreted a $750,000 loan from Big Valley' initated March 19, 1998 recalling "fot the last four months"; reported in the Bee May 1998 and taking the four monthss from the initil secreted Millich signed agreement coincides with the removal of my daughter from Downey and was paid back Janauary 01, 2000. The theives of Delta Youth Football League, and they have not sued as I have them cold. Its happenning again for what and didn't we settle this in the 1860 and the Blaine Amendments, I carry the Roman Catholic Bible(english) which the Courts on the Vugate (Latin) carried by my ancestors forced an issue over the NIV version (s) and that Robert is whyy the Bible is NOT read in public schools, evidently a letter to the BEE congratulated MCS for teaching the Bible, George Linn was furious with the charge, how does your platform speak to this issue?

Excellent article. One of

Excellent article. One of the best writing I have read so far today.
