Stuff happens sometimes when you choose to hold yourself accountable for your actions rather than hide behind anonymity and this is one of those times.
It appears we have been threatened, now harrassed by a couple of posters submitting posts that clearly convey this.
Sorry to inconveniece anybody wishing to post their opinions by forcing you to go through moderation but, I have been advised to do so until enough information is gathered and confirmed to determine the next step.
How to respond to Internet harassment
Step1 Assess the seriousness of the Internet harassment for your own decision-making and for authorities. There is a significant difference between hateful words or disagreement and outright threats. Yet, a substantial gray area exists with cyberbullying. A threat of any kind, or hate speech, should not be ignored, but unkind words may be little more than rudeness.
Step2 Screencast of Internet harassment via chat. (Demo) Record all comments, e-mails and activities involving the suspected Internet harassment. Include other website comments if applicable. Learn how do create screencasts, if needed, and save these screen images with your other recordings. Print these files for hard copy evidence.
Step3 Create a Google Alert of your name--as well as nicknames--to track anything that may be said about you anywhere on the Internet. It will include anything divulging your personal information.
Step4 Change your passwords, including for e-mail and websites. Internet harassment sometimes involves hacking people's accounts. Use a combination of letters and numbers, using eight characters or more.
Step5 Report Internet harassment to the proper authorities, including the local FBI office for online crimes and the police for physical or off-line threats. Obtain advice before reporting the offender to their Internet Service Provider. Should the perpetrator lose their account but remain unaffected by law enforcement, their actions may worsen.
Step6 Avoid aggravating cases of Internet Harassment by ending all communication. Do not make idle or real threats of legal or other action, and keep your online and off-line activities private.
Step7 Treat cases of Internet harassment with measured caution and expect the unexpected. Try to remain calm. Most cases do not go beyond words, but note that Internet harassment escalates easily and can be as illogical as road rage. You usually do not know who the person is or what he or she is capable of.
Thank you and enjoy your visit.

We will spread the word around the local web based discussion sites that you are anti-truth and you choose to attempt to silence those who know that you lie. Dont think for a minute that your heros over on CRBA arent aware that you are a nut.
So now you and your assumed group are threatening me from a link from Nort Coast Orwegon?
I need to caution you that it would not be wise to take this any further.

I must caution to cease and desist. It's not relevant as to who believes me here, it's a matter of chronology and documentation.

"this rare opportunity offered by NOAA"NOAA wasnt offering anything-they're looking for a new homeport and Astoria isnt it. You know the reasons why but you refuse to acknowledge the fact that the POA was never in the running on this. There isn't enough of what NOAA needs here, like a large University with all the labs and scientists, to justify them abandoning Puget Sound. Everybody knows this but you.
Also, find your little threats somewhat amusing due to the fact that your reputation as a nutbag and a liar is well known.The beatings will continue until you see the light, McGee

I don't think Qwest and Charter Communications are going to see much humor in their resources being used for this kind of conduct.

it takes a thick skin to be a politician. it takes a thicker skin to be a blogger when you are presenting issues that could be construed as controversial.
me, i'd just tell 'em to kiss your ass and ignore them.
i haven't had it happen YET (key word) but if i get comments that are attacking a person with threats/profanity, etc (myself included) they get deleted.
people need to understand that if there is an issue, they need to stay away from attacking the person and stick with attacking the issue.
unfortunately there are too many dumbasses that don't understand this heh heh.

It’s a refreshing concept ins’t it?
If you can’t attend the meeting, email your thoughts for the “Public Record” to the address below and it should become part of the public record.

You tell’em, McGee. You’re the real expert on all things Clatsop County. Why, I’m surprised the CCBC hasnt thrown themselves at you begging you to step up and run the whole show.
Don’t forget, you can run but you can’t hide
