One got out and when I finally got a call that he was found went to collect him and the people had him up to his neck in a wading pool. Was he glad to see me!

If Renee isn't responsible for taking down the comments, then the Patch updates have quickened the…Read More "Flag as inappropriate" option to review a comment based on just one hit rather than the previous three or so hits from different users. I'm sure the Patch did so due to complaints from some users, especially bloggers, who got tired of the same people ganging up on them regardless of what they posted. Now it seems to be backfiring the other way. Its more likely that Victor deleted his comments, for he likes to give not to receive, and then flagged all the negative responses. Though if Renee isn't reviewing the flags to see content, it means someone else is. What a thankless job. Oh well, its unlikely we will see any changes. CEO's are always convinced their ideas are brilliant, and advertising is their only concern. The ants that scurry around this site, like you and I, are just a side effect of their picnic. Perhaps a refresher course about the same line of thinking by JCPenney?

Yup, my lengthy response to Victor was also removed for more than 24 hours in the same thread that…Read More Jeremiah is referring to. Then, after I complained, it magically re-appeared! Because we can't respond to individual comments like we could in the past, I don't believe that a writer deleting his/her comment can in any way delete other comments along with it. I believe that the only way a person can delete someone elses comment is if the person actually STARTED the thread/article. I guess I will start posting ONLY original comments on the boards, that way I can delete anybody's responses that I don't like which are attached to "my content"!?!? What a crock. The Patch is no longer valid for the purpose of information. It is no longer valid for the purpose of discussion. It is no longer valid for the purpose of debate.

Claire Frémont May 23, 2013 at 10:08 am

People should only have the right to delete their own comments. And doing so should not then lead to…Read More the responses to it also being deleted. Once someone learns that that feature works that way, it will lead to internet bullies wiping out others posts. Everyone involved in a conversation usually has already seen the comment. So when I see that someone has deleting their post, I only think two things- you are ashamed of your post or just throwing a tantrum at the responses you received from it. The recommend key is another feature that means absolutely nothing. I've hit it once or twice on others comments on a topic, and have gotten them in return. Yet some topics seem to have an abnormal amount of recommends in relation to actual comments. I think Tempest has a point- if you are allowed to recommend your own posts then it serves no purpose but self promotion. If the subject matter is interesting it will attract comments. If it only mysteriously attracts recommends then I'm catching on that the author would rather advertise than improve on subject matter. Site is still freezing for me Renee, advertisments are there, not there, loading, moving around. Starting to wonder about the computer skills of the designer at home base.

Well said ATC.

Looks to me like a nice easy way for the city to squeeze even more money out of property owners, for…Read More a problem that doesn't actually exist. There will indeed be a cost for these inspections (look at the last sentence of the agenda item). If there was a history of ongoing issues related to the quality of rental units, that might be another story, but nowhere in the agenda item is that claim made. So they are in effect creating a solution to a non-existent problem, and billing for that solution. What, the city isn't making enough money off of Mello Roos?

Its not such a bad idea to make sure rental housing is safe. Renting out some of the brand new homes…Read More is not a problem, but the older homes rented to many tenants should have a legal CO. However, one wonders if there is a cost for these inspections, who will cover it, and if those in City government will be favored with the self-inspect clause for rental property they own.

No, Renee, no offense to you and thank you for your suggestion but I will never start doing the…Read More "Twitter" hashtag thing to point my comments in a linear stream. I will quit posting first. I notice that now that my reply to Victor's comment has been put back, but his is still gone. Will you give us all the contact phone number for the Patch executive who decided to force all this upon us without ever a trial or anything else? And I agree with Dex on another post - whoever is doing the site design and maintenance needs to get further information and training or find another job. The glitches on this web page are simple HTML errors that could have been easily fixed by this time by anyone with basic HTML knowledge. I am sorry for the advertisers here - they might have gotten more real estate, but they have far less exposure now. With drop in readership that is occurring as we speak they will soon look for other places to advertise - places that pay attention to the desires of their readers. Sorry that you have to deal with all this, Renee - you were doing a very fine job that we all appreciated until they made your life miserable right along with ours. Well, not our lives but certainly our patch experience! Jerremiah

And now it's back!?!? Wow, this "great new format" is really impressive, eh? And of…Read More course the one thing that many have wanted, many have asked for, the one thing that would have been easy to add; the ability for a person to edit their post, is still nowhere to be found. We must delete the entire post and rewrite it if we make a typo. Yeah, that's logical. Patch Powers that be: Please listen to your readership. Bring back the ability to comment on specific comments (not just at the end), bring back the "latest comments" section on the front page (so readers can see what's hot/active at a glance), and for crying out loud, add the ability to edit our posts (it's not really rocket science here, people). Those three things would likely eliminate 90% of the complaints about this new format. Of course, I'm not about to hold my breath. I don't think they really care, nor really listen.

Holding our comments does no good - giving them to the people you deal with AFTER the site becomes set in stone will not work. Even the news stories don't rotate fast enough - the same things are on the page that were there after the changeover. I won't be using the new features - they are not nearly as user-friendly as you try to portray and new responses to blogs and new comments are hidden. If they even show up - many of my comments on this new format have posted and then disappeared. Not a good move and it has hurt your paper. Jeremiah

A thought came to my mind yesterday: I'm sure you've heard that many countries already have bans and restrictions on GMOs and what Monsanto can/can't do. Yet, take a look at the Event List. You'll see the very same countries listed as participants of this March. Many people from countries that already have bans will be participating in this March along with the rest of us who aren't in that place yet [of Bans and Restrictions on Monsanto's atrocities]. They, just like the rest of us, are taking time out of their routines and schedules, putting other things on the back burner and putting in the work and effort, to take a stand, to stand together. Thank you for organizing, participating, marching... Thank you. .........Admn. for March Against Monsanto http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/p/learn-about-monsanto.html

On the contrary, evidence presented in this report indicates that GM crops: ● Are laboratory-made,…Read More using technology that is totally different from natural breeding methods, and pose different risks from non-GM crops ● Can be toxic, allergenic or less nutritious than their natural counterparts ● Are not adequately regulated to ensure safety ● Do not increase yield potential ● Do not reduce pesticide use but increase it ● Create serious problems for farmers, including herbicide-tolerant “superweeds”, compromised soil quality, and increased disease susceptibility in crops ● Have mixed economic effects ● Harm soil quality, disrupts ecosystems, and reduces biodiversity ● Do not offer effective solutions to climate change ● Are as energy-hungry as any other chemically-farmed crops ● Cannot solve the problem of world hunger but distract from its real causes – poverty, lack of access to food and, increasingly, lack of access to land to grow it on. Based on the evidence presented in this report, there is no need to take risks with GM crops when effective, readily available, and sustainable solutions to the problems that GM technology is claimed to address already exist. Conventional plant breeding, in some cases helped by safe modern technologies like gene mapping and marker assisted selection, continues to outperform GM in producing high-yield, drought-tolerant, and pest- and disease-resistant crops that can meet our present and future food needs. Conduct your own research to form your own opinion instead of repeating hear-say.
