Montrose - Daily Press

GUIDELINES

• Be respectful. 

• Share what you know. 

Advertisement

• Ask good questions.

• Correct others politely, if they’re wrong. 

• Start a dialogue.

• Defend your viewpoint with facts and opinions, not name-calling and attacks. This site is meant for the entire community.

• Explicit language and content isn’t welcome and will not be posted. No profanity.

• Don’t encourage acts of violence. The only people you’ll likely meet for a fight are the police.

• Being part of the community means tolerating differing views, as well as keeping order. Report comments because they’re inappropriate, not because you disagree with them. 

• Don’t pretend to be someone else. Don’t give out information about you, or the identity of others. We will not post comments to push readers to other Web sites, as they may not be legitimate, be a scam, unscrupulous or worse.

• We don’t give out your personal information. You shouldn’t either. 

• We can’t certify these opinions. We hope that you will base your comments on facts, opinions or logic. 

• Please stay on topic. Be relevant. A focused conversation makes for a better community blog. 

• Don’t use this forum to advertise goods or services.

• No bullying, particularly of children.

• We will not post comments regarding criminal, or court cases.

• We will not post comments about local business. If you have had a bad meal or have an experience with a rude clerk, contact the Better Business Bureau.

• We believe in free speech. It is what we do as a newspaper – to encourage robust discussion. It is a tricky balance — typically arbitrarily — in maintaining a dialogue without people attacking one another. If you don’t like the guidelines and rules, go to another blog.

• Do not accuse or insinuate criminal behavior.

• Do not make racist, homophobic, sexist comments. Be nice. Be neighborly. Embrace manners. Respect each other.

• Don’t attack the writer or reporter. If you’ve got a problem with a story, call the editor, Bill Swaim, at 252-7030; or, e-mail: editor@montrosepress.com 

You may continue to post anonymously. But know that while we have no interest in “outing” anonymous posters, your anonymity is not guaranteed. We won’t hesitate to alert the proper authorities of crimes that come to light here and we reserve the right to seek the prosecution of users who violate the law.

The intent is that you converse here as you would at a coffee shop or in line at a local grocery or in homes with friends. We want to encourage a free discussion in an environment that is welcoming to all. 

READER COMMENTS 

• Be respectful of others, the writer and the subjects in the story.

• Be relevant. Keep your comments on point. 

• See the guidelines for TalkAbout. Perhaps your comment is best for that forum, instead of commenting on a particular story.

" Comparing this tragedy to those “In the City”.
My opinion,
Montrose Law enforcement has a feeling of “to serve and protect “.
This is not so, In the City.
The response in this forum is kind, supportive and hart felt.
This is not so, In the City.
Showing understanding, compassion for ALL involved.
This is not so, In the City.
Look at the Las Vegas Review Journal, read any response you will see cranky, negative, mean people.
Little compassion, In the City.
This is not so, In Smallville. "

" There seems to be a recent surge in S.U.V. mishaps. I hope my S.U.V.doesn't go wild. Maybe it's the gas? Maybe S.U.V.'s needs some consoling? Maybe they should issue a national alert. Be careful folks I see S.U.V.'s everywhere. "

" Why deny Public Discourse by avoiding discussion following Ms. Bilberry's blabbering propaganda ... (No Place to Post a Reply!) Why's that? (No Comment Block!) Playing Partisan? Typical!

So Her's is a typically inch-worming "Obamagram!"

" I stopped in and looked at the " Monument Room". No need for any tax or mil increase in the future. We are rich not to mention the egos now looking down on the public. "

" I think that this woman needs to spend a while getting a check up from the neck up. She has got to be out of her mind. I know that I would NEVER try to run my husband over if he left me and was with another woman. Even if I did not like the woman. I would tell her if you can put up with him keep him. "

" JetAway lost the RFP to become the FBO because they were not even remotley qualified. JetAway is off airport and does not have any right to demmand to be an FBO or where it should be placed. Our problem is we have Commissioners that do not understand that this should not be put up with,even after the Judge admonished them for being whimps. "

" JetAway. 1. Does the 20 employees JetAway claims include the lawyers that have cost the taxpayers of Montrose County a bundle? 2. Where did JetAway ever get the right to demand a second FBO without a competitive bid and on top of it tell the county where to put it? "

" BOCC Mounument Room: I recommend the Commissioners look around the county for more urgent needs. This is a sensitivity issue and the best use of our money issue. The timing is astounding. To the many citizens that are hurting this is a slap in the face. Start at Health and Human Resources.The volume of those being processed is way up. Are these the three wise men from the west? "

" Kathy is right. As soon as JetAway folds up shop and leaves the better off we are. We need jobs. We also have ethics and at the end of the day need to look our selves in the eye and know
that we did not sell our good name. In order to thrive businesses that come here must know that our word is good. Read all the court cases , part 16 and review the cost to Montrose. This is not an example of how economic development works. "

" In February there was an article written about the county "mulling" over the posibility of a DUI court (much like the already existant drug court.) Any updates on when that may be slated to begin? "
