We won't ban you. Or, you know, offer legitimate conversation. That works too. Even though it's woah less exciting. Jinx: Feel free to criticize us and personally attack us. We won’t ban you.

A certain somebody getting back into regular working joe field and her boyfriend? I noticed early on that there were not nearly as many commentors as there had been in pol watchers. Now I know why. Anybody who is criticizing the newspapers are being banned. And there is no contact info to complain about it either. It's truly abhorrent. None of my comments fit the criteria of being banned- I read their policy. The only mistake I guess I made was attempting to be witty and using actual critical thinking skills about not only the reporting, but about actions by political officials. What they need to put in their policy is something; "We reserve the right to ban people who tell the truth when its the type of truth we don't like". Argghhhh. I have wasted too much time already on being banned. thanks for letting me vent. Okay Jake, thats like, what. . . two people?

Bluegrass politics will ban you as a spammer and not allow you to post if you criticize their reporters like I did last week on an incomplete report that failed to specify how the state unemployment services can lose its federal funding if it violates federally mandated timelines in regards to unemployment insurance and appeals. I didn't think the newspapers could get any more pathetic; but they just did by banning commentors who are keeping the papers on their toes. If it wasn't for Page One and the Ville Voice; we could surely say that unbiased free speech in a public forum is surely dead in Kentucky. Just to let everyone know.

Too bad the last CAER report (that I saw) on CCS said exactly what I've been saying here - they're nowhere close to figuring it out. btw – that message touts the work of the UK Center for Applied Energy Research, which is heavily funded by the coal industry in order to develop new ways of making them look good.
