looks like KMUD has more problems than these petty things…
hmmm, maybe a thread about KMUD so we can blast those losers for fucking it up…???
(and find $olutions?)

God I hate it when people take their personal issues public. Was that really necessary? Reminds me of the whole “Reggae” thing when people were lobbing “Hate-Bombs” throughout the airwaves and newspapers.
On the surface his account is pretty hard to believe knowing the people involved.
I guess when you’re “owned” by the whole community, you’re going to see disagreements played out in the public arena. It’s too bad. I want to see KMUD informing the revolution; not be dragged into petty squabbles.

Oh, those details. Well, actually I know the names, but unless Jim wants to post them, I think I’ll leave it alone. I’ve heard two completely different versions of the events, and I don’t think a blog thread is a forum which tends to generate any objective clarity on a subject like this. Jim isn’t happy with KMUD. That’s what he made public. If he wants to be more specific, that’s his prerogative, but obviously he doesn’t think that would be productive, and not being directly involved I don’t think I’m in a position to second-guess him on that. If KMUD wants to respond, it’ll probably be in tomorrow’s newspaper. I suspect they’ll probably just leave it alone rather than get into a “he said/she said” about what appears to be a personal matter in the newspaper – or on an Internet forum.

yes, eric, someone posted the link to the letter but the letter-writer didn’t name any names in his diatribe, just wondered WHO he was talking about?

and for that matter WHO was the parent in redway who single-handedly ran off the last principal?

anon – it looks like someone already posted the link anon. When you see blue letters on your screen, it’s a link.

There is also a letter by someone else advocating that we throw feces at the Mateel Community Center because people are pigs.

4:47 – It’s not the most thoughtful letter I’ve read, but you are leaving out a little bit of context, don’t you think?

Why wouldn’t it be appropriate? For one reason, it is completely off topic. I was simply commending Jim for a job well done in the election.

After reading his letter, I’m left with the feeling that Jim is taking care of his health by effectively expressing feelings for which he has no other outlet. Good for Jim, because this is the first step to creating a healthy community.

I don’t see how that letter is “anti-KMUD.”
