I don't mind the Free Speech section, I just wish they'd only print the "short & pithy" comments, following the guidelines that they have set. No Free Speech item should take up more than an inch of typespace, if that.

I agree wholeheartedly with Olen.

Maybe a good rule would be that you cannot mention another person by name without listing your own.

I agree Olen. Everyone appreciates good news coverage, even controversial stories. However, a nightly read of the free speech section makes you pause and question, is the county that we live in and, have been so proud of, have as many awful characters in it as the free speech seems to suggest?
Especially the heavy handed comments about the leaders and servants of the public in Fayette County makes you wonder how the county came to be such a great place to live. Why would anyone want to run for these offices and open themselves to unbridled verbal assualts on a nightly basis.
It sounds like a great number of these "free speech writers" would benefit from an anger management course, I don't think getting it off their chests is working.
