Blog Bullies Went Too FarI have blogged before about the “blog bullies” and their negative impact on this site. It’s okay to poke some good natured fun, but I recently saw one posting in particular, attached to a letter to the editor (8-8-06, “County, PTC reaping property tax windfall”), that was disturbing. Blogger Idontknow’s posting placed Steve Brown in the same list as “Hitler, Castro, Mussolini and McKinney” which is childish, disrespectful and offensive. You can agree to disagree, but he went over the line on this one. Idontknow acts as if he is jealous of Steve Brown. A lot of us write about our differences with him from time to time, but idontknow’s comments look like they stem from some kind of inner hatred. In fact, idontknow and Pandora have a difficult time coming up with relevant points for disagreement with Brown as witnessed in their posts to the same letter to the editor. Although I didn't always agree with Brown's style, he obeyed the law and put up a good fight on behalf of a lot of citizens. He certainly didn't lie either. I was introduced to the woman that owns the "sinking house" in the Peninsula subdivision a while back. She claims that the house is now fully restored and it would never have happened if Steve Brown hadn't come to her rescue against the builder. He helped a lot of senior citizens in town too. You can disagree, that's fine, but idontknow's comments reveal his cruel nature. The rude exaggeration was uncalled for. When you go out of your way to compare innocent people to mass murders, war criminals, Communist dictators and people who assault law enforcement officers, you hack into the ethic moral values of our community, all become equally evil, and goodness has less significance.
