About the Author: S. C. Watson

S.C. Watson has been drawing and painting for as long as he can remember. Which is to say a couple of days, at least. Mostly self taught with traditional and digital media, he has been selling his artistic soul for the past two and half decades to the highest bidder, including, but not limited to Wizards of the Coast, Fantasy Flight Games, Malfador Machinations, and various private clients, including independent authors. When he's not working in his studio, socially distancing with his family or walking his art director dachshund, Rocky, he can be found wandering the Deer Harbor woods aimlessly muttering about masks, politics, and the artistic merits of taupe. He likes sushi and is dismayed there isn't an established restaurant on the island.

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.
