Our comment threads are extremely active here at Lamorinda Patch. Many of you appear to still be confused by how they work.
First, the comments expressed under our stories are the sole responsibility of the poster and are not to be confused with our stories, which are clearly marked.
Second, the posters are your neighbors, like it or not, and are not employed by Lamorinda Patch.
Third, the opinions expressed in comment threads are just that -- the opinion of the poster.
Fourth, if you feel the comment exceeds the clearly and oft-repeated standards of "conduct" here at Lamorinda Patch, "Flag It" so we can find it more quickly among the hundreds of comments we get.
Remember, the comment must violate one of the : it cannot be profane, personally invasive, threatening or intimidating, or qualify as an attempt to "hijack" the comment thread and take it in another direction. DO NOT flag a comment just because you don't agree with the author's position.
Remember, the EDITOR here has a DELETE key and he isn't afraid to use it! And so do you. If you put up a post, think it over and would prefer that it not post to the site, YOU can delete YOUR OWN POST -- no one else's.
Thanks.

I'm still more apt to believe that it's either a case of people trying to out-do each other, which would suggest many comments are worthless since they don't represent true thoughts, or people in this area are simply a few peas short of a casserole.
As for me, I'd just as soon see everyone's comments -- ugly or not. It gives me a sense of who that person is.
Are you logged on?
Yes, all logged in and hitting the "delete" button. They system gyrates for a second and says, "patching", but then nothing happens. You all are stuck with my inane commentary.
Good luck.
