Opinions and editorials, okay. But what am I supposed to add to news of a traffic accident on Chef Highway? I've read so many comments on nola dot com about various murders on the streets of New Orleans, and the commenters actually celebrate the death of the victims. It is truly sad.Loye Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755157769379252669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-269946575702409692009-09-24T15:31:47.549-05:002009-09-24T15:31:47.549-05:00People with the least do what they can with what t...People with the least do what they can with what they have to help each other. That never ceases to amaze me. <br />Adopt-A-Family does so much with what they have, as you say, one child at a time. <br />WWL works for the people of New Orleans.<br /> <br />Anytime people pick on this sort of thing and show up so closely aligned in a comments section, my Turf'dar goes dingdingdingding! Astro-turfers always work in pairs to bump each other's commentary. They are different than trolls because they are paid to disparage a particular target.<br />Most trolls are idiots, I mean, sometimes you can almost tell what neighborhood they are coming from.<br />These two folks are not idiots, and nor are their comments ignorant. <br />But, What could be the target here and where is the pay-off? <br />Right off the bat I would say WWL's coverage of RSD issues, which they are pretty on top of. <br />The opposite of Charter would be my next guess.<br />"Drive by" racial smear would be my third. That one is plain as the nose on Jim Crow's face.<br /><br />Great post.Editilla~New Orleans Ladderhttp://noladder.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-87976861414459834592009-09-23T08:59:31.682-05:002009-09-23T08:59:31.682-05:00talk about a giving spirit huh? ..talk about a giving spirit huh? ..Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057567319075894582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-48958314469701224632009-09-23T07:25:41.421-05:002009-09-23T07:25:41.421-05:00The "upgrades" Advance Internet may be t...The "upgrades" Advance Internet may be trying to put on nola.com might put some checks on these people for posting such crap, but nothing will beat good ol' fashioned moderation....unless money is tied to it somehow.<br /><br />Now there's MY cynicism for you. <br /><br />As for the school unis, one child at a time...and it sounds like Adopt A Family is working toward that goal of all of those needy kids. Something like this can only bring more attention to what their goal is and help them meet it. Putting out one's frustrations at the work not yet done ought to be followed by doing something about it...which is what I hope that commenter will do instead of griping further.Leigh C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13654596932726420097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-1348772449547792482009-09-23T07:17:59.756-05:002009-09-23T07:17:59.756-05:00Now that last one to me sounds like a burned out t...Now that last one to me sounds like a burned out teacher or administrator and I'm ready to give them a little slack to say something stupid once in a while as long as they don't say it to a student or a parent.<br /><br />As for the rest, I am trying very hard to stay out of the NOLA.Com comments section. Those people just make me crazy and I am way over my quotient of crazy for this year already.Marknoreply@blogger.com
