Well it's about time there was something to talk about on here (fire dept abuse). I would think with all the issues going on in the country and oswego county there would be more debates on this site. I know a lot of you used to express your opinions on IO until it became so trash ridden, which I don't blame you for leaving, but where are all your opinions now. It seems like quite a few of you are friends that started this site or moderate it or have something to do with it so what are you afraid of hurting each others feelings? I don't know Ed or live in Oswego, but his site you can throw out an opinion on something and get a response without being ripped apart other than having someone disagree with you. Then of course you have some of your long winded windbags on there that everyone loves to either agree or disagree with. I understand you can't say a whole lot of negatives things about the current city council unless Ed agrees with you so it is a one-sided site, but at least there is something to talk about over there. Don't get me wrong even though it sounds that way I really don't want to bash this site. You guys had some of the most interesting posts before and I would like to see that happening again on this site. Please please don't be offended, that's not what this post was intended to do, but maybe it will get something going. Thanks for listening.

Daaaaammmmnnnn! Good Post!  About the each of us, assuming you mean little t, thecleaning lady, and myself, we don't actually know each other outside of our online identities. While I talk online with little t on occasion, we don't necessarily get together for a toddy and Oswego chat. Moving onto the heathy debate, I think each of us have throw out some topics hoping for bites, but it seems that there are few fish in the pond we chose. We all hope that the population will grow here but perhaps it not growing is a reflection of the actual online community in Oswego, which I personally feel is a disappointment. This site will not become an IO bitch board. We all need to strive to nuture an online environment where no one is belittled or threatened, thus the need for monitoring and as needed, banning. This does not mean that opinions that differ are not acceptable. In fact opposing views can help to make each of us try and understand the other side of the story. It is also important that this site not become a podium for one view. I would hope that if any views this site as biased, they would voice it. Thanks for the post! I certainly feel it was deserved of our attention not to mention well written. |
