Welcome to our new weekly feature, Occam’s Razor,
from local artist S.C. Watson.
**If you are reading theOrcasonian for free, thank your fellow islanders. If you would like to support theOrcasonian CLICK HERE to set your modestly-priced, voluntary subscription. Otherwise, no worries; we’re happy to share with you.**
My very favorite post of the week. I love it. Thanks.
The headline, “Our island, our world,” should be changed to “My island, my world.” Watson’s biased interpretations do not represent a very large percentage of the island population. His cartoons are divisive and offensive to many. If the Orcasonian lived up to it’s pledge that it is “the voice of the community,” this cartoon, and many prior, would have no home here unless alienating and harassing conservatives is the primary goal. But alas, liberal political activism shamefully rule these “impartial, community” headlines and content.
Dale Farrick: This is your last comment on theOrcasonian. Your voice is not one of this community. A community finds common ground and civility, no matter our individual opinions. You’re kinda missing the point. Be well, of course.
Good riddance, and thanks, Lin. I’ve been urging this action for months.
And so it begins
Liberal/progressive opinions – check
Agree with majority local attitudes – check
Censorship is a good policy – check
Unquestioned belief in mainstream news – check
Agree that bias is a fundamental requirement of good journalism – check
Insults and name calling shall only be directed/allowed toward the other (conservative) side – check
Free speech isn’t really a “right” – check
Congratulations! You have been approved to comment on the Demosonian!
Lin, thanks for exercising good judgment and appropriate vetting of posts. It’s a thankless job, but I’ll say thanks nonetheless!
it would be fitting to have posted rules for the comments, so people know what is expected. Nothing wrong with banning someone who doesn’t follow the rules and no, it is not “censorship”. In my experience, every online forum bans trolls and flamers because they only want to fight, and iend up dominating all the threads.
