What’s up? Been lurking for a while and decided to sign up and post.

OK actually I had something on my mind. Here is what happened School was out and I was heading home, I hadn’t eaten lunch so I stopped in at this restaurant and ordered a sandwitch and took it to a table and sat down when it suddenly occured to me they didn’t charge me!

Yeah evidently they were super busy and distracted because there was this manager/investor type looking around everywhere and talking to them. So I was just about to go up to the counter and say I hadn’t paid but then I realized if I did that the owner guy might get mad at the employees. So I just left. What should I have done do you think?

I repeatedly announce this forum. This is the oldest culture unqualified to ask a query.
How multitudinous in this forum are references Nautical port behind, knavish users?
Can I depute all the advice that there is?

They are literally inviting rants by telling people to “Sound Off!”

Here’s the problem: Quality newspapers should be able to offer citizens informed and objective journalism. Quality newspapers should hold themselves accountable for the information they publish as well as the information they allow to be published.

With freedom comes responsibility.

Whenever the Town Talk allows its presentation of the news to be compromised by anonymous, third-party observations, they are taking a calculated risk.

They are allowing their online presentation of the news to be compromised by individuals who do not work for or represent the newspaper’s news-gathering team, and they are allowing third-party (and most often unsourced) commentary to become a part of the context.

It may attract people to their website (which can be used to justify online ad rates), but at what point does the ubiquity of this forum hurt the integrity of the paper?

Responsible or not, I think it works. Take it for what it is, a forum for any and all.

Unmoderated free speech sites simply do not work, because most anonymous posters do not use freedom of speech with responsibility.
