Stop Micro Managing!
I have been reading the posts on this web site and have really tried not to respond to the sponsor’s personal rhetoric that is displayed on a daily basis. But, enough is enough! When the new sponsor took control of this web site he indicated that any posts by the members of the township committee would be welcomed and given fair treatment. One would think that with this promise, comments would be forthcoming from the town council, as well as from the general public with an active give and take dialogue as it did with the previous sponsor. But since the “new” sponsor took over this site he has created so many categories and sub-categories that the site has become tortuous to use. Yes, he does post comments and letters about the forthcoming primary election; and he also has no problem with personally micro managing every single post. He has only positive, supportive comments regarding any posts relating to John Ferramosca’s campaign and always tears apart and negatively criticizes any posts that favor Len Fariello. Not biased, my foot! No wonder Fariello keeps clear of this site. The sponsor also chastises the public for using multiple ID’s and now, as a last straw, threatens a poster with “In the future, please sign your posts with your either your real name or your username - CK or they will not be posted” (under Elected Officials). Is this threat because CK disagrees with the sponsor and the sponsor does not like being put in a position of having to defend himself for his “cyber squatting” on someone else’s domain name. In other words, “do it my way, or no way” yeah right, the sponsor is being fair to all, but only if he agrees with you!

Wyona,
I'm not sure what exactly happened with the CK issue. I sometimes do not include my userid, and yet it appears anyway on the post (which is fine!). So whether or not CK signed a comment, I would think it would appear anyway. That being said, I'm not sure if I'd call Tom a micro-manager. If anything, he is one of the most active site participants, and he also just happens to be the sponsor. He, like the rest of us, is entitled to his opinion. I don't think there's a rule that states a sponsor must remain silent nor unbiased. And unless he is witholding a person's comments (which I highly doubt), he's not doing anything wrong. And he, unlike most of us, is NOT anonymous. (05/14/09 6:20pm) REPLY
