Comments

I am the proprietor of the Pacific Gazette where the original comment by Ms. Bolan was posted that you have linked to. To get a fair and complete view of my correspondence with Ms. Bolan so far, however, your readers may also wish to read my follow-up post, which was written after I heard directly from her by Email. Additionally, one thing that you may not know is that my blog was not the only one that received a comment that was, apparently, written by Ms. Bolan. This, together with a couple of other tidbits, are detailed in my latest update titled: 'What I Didn't Learn From Kim Bolan (Part I)' Finally, and slightly tangential to the topic at hand, it's interesting to me that my place is now being described/labelled as a capital 'L' Liberal blog. Because, while I clearly identify myself as being on the left side of the bloggodome, I don't think I have ever indicated that I am a federal Liberal. In fact, during the the last election campaign I wrote a whole series of strategic voting posts from the point of view of someone who is a non-denominational Con-Stopper. .
Thanks Deborah. Will be interesting to see if the perception changes. .
