It's general knowledge that he twists words from his best friend, the news director, and spreads vicious rumor and gossip amongst the rank and file at the station.

At this point she's an office pariah and is loathed by everybody she works with. Nonstop complaining, criticism and nagging but never pushes up her sleeves and bothers to do the work. Producers, reporters, co-anchors, management, etc. all hate having to interact with her. She saw the writing on the wall and did the respectable thing in this case - set a date and get out on her terms. Otherwise the next time contract discussions came up she was going to be handed her hat and kicked out the door. In her head she thinks she wasn't liked because she is always pushing for better quality and a more thoughtful show. In reality she's disliked because she's got a terrible attitude and is a huge pain in the ass.

One example is the trolls from the baggy-pants generation, who post sarcasm because some of us feel an affection for a longstanding TV show or media icon. These "life goes on... get a grip" comments have zero need to even appear here and waste we reader's time to even skim their semi-literate content and recognize it for the childish babble that it is.<br /><br />Censorship?

Online, you should not feed the trolls. Trolls, much like traditional bullies, crave attention – don’t give it to them. Don't post their comments. Ignore them as much as possible, because responding to them – even with the best possible comeback – will only fuel the fire. Most trolls get bored easily if they are ignored. They will move on to other posts or sites to stalk their prey.

Tobacco is the low hanging fruit with no specific protection but evokes no emotion and when I see guns pushed to the front, it seems like the left is deciding who dies and who is saved.<br /><br />To address your "why", I have a few thoughts but qualify them as useless due to the fact that I have time to blog. socio-economic factors, a judicial system that offers inadequate consequences, access to mental health care, many people (globally) have violent tendencies...thats the way they're wired.<br /><br />Regarding guns specifically, the left makes a hobby hoarse out of the gun issue, the right makes a hobby hoarse out of the 2nd amendment, both lead to in inadequate control. Mexico has strict gun laws as does Chicago, the level of violence there is not proportionate to the gun restrictions.

If it's Rich's blog and he makes it clear that he's only posting affirmative comments from approving fans, so be it.<br /><br />BUT, if he presents only a small sprinkling of dissent, selectively editing out opinions he dislikes, and at the same times presents the erroneous impression of an open exchange of ideas, then that's objectionable and dishonest.<br /><br />It is clear from many comments here that Rich selectively edits which comments he posts and does so based on his agreement or disagreement with what is being expressed, not just because it's disgusting, illegal, or otherwise totally inappropriate to be published.<br /><br />If that's his practice, HE NEEDS TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. Most other sites that have post exchanges between people, post everything unless it's just utterly offensive.

We are a soci...Back to the gun issue for a moment. We are a society that promotes and covets violence. Look at the number of violent movies and TV shows that Hollywood churns out. Look at our history, the way Americans migrating west decimated the native American population with little forethought or conscience, look at the number of wars we've been engaged in, look at the number of violent incidents that happen in our country every day, look at the mass shootings that seem to be cropping up in every part of the country every other month. Need I say more about that?<br /><br /> Until America takes a good hard look at itself and realizes that we are a 'sick' society with messed up values and a country that doesn't value the family or long term relationships (personal and business), we are never going to progress.<br /><br /> People keep guns around, basically because they are frightened. Many don't trust our police to provide protection, so they feel the need to have their own safety net with a few 'defensive' weapons in their house. I understand this feeling. I live in a very quiet, safe, crime free neighborhood, and the other day, one of my neighbors was sitting in her living room in the middle of the day and some nit wit tried to break into her house with a crow bar. Luckily, she called the cops and the guy skedadelled, but the next day another neighbor of mine reported a suspicious vehicle driving down our street, stopping at houses to see if anyone was around as they cased the places.<br /><br /> What I'm saying is that I sympathize with those who want to keep their defensive weapons in their homes, and I understand the paranoia that is rampant in our society. It's up to us as individuals however, to repudiate the rootless philosophy that everything in this country is disposable: jobs, relationships, family, houses, etc. Until we come to grips with that and shrug off the nonsense that passes for 'entertainment' on TV, we will continue to be a troubled, dysfunctional country.
