Dear Mr. Molnar and the Concerned Citizens of Kearney,

You should be proud of the excellent job you've been doing in keeping the people of Kearney in the loop and helping to empower the Little People. I hate to think of what else Mayor Tomlinson and his friends might have pulled if their antics weren't kept in the light of day. It's funny how we keep reading about the horrible blog and how anonymous writers are evil and twisted but I notice that most of those who write in want to also be anonymous, including those who support Tomlinson. I also notice that all the writers that complain about the blog (including Barry Dingwall in the Almaguin News) just bash the blog but never correct anything the blog has written. It's just a lot of Bad Blog this and Bad Blog that but never anything about the blog got it wrong or here's the real story. You guys must be bang on! Keep up the good work!

I would also like to remain Anonymous. Not because I don't stand behind my words but because I don't want my family targeted by those freaks in Proudfoot!

Anonymity is a double-edged sword. It offers the opportunity to speak without fear of reprisal by those in power. Sadly, in Kearney, those in power (and their friends) will lash out in all directions in the hope that one of their bullets might find its mark. Even on the power of rumour and innuendo we see Kearney citizens beaten in the street. In Kearney, anonymity protects us and our families, but it also means that the innocent will be rounded up with the "usual suspects". Even after I came forward as the "Chief Editor" of the blog, zealots like Mayor Tomlinson's friend Jim Skelton continue to harass those who have contributed to the blog and have been so bold as to sign their names. In the Town of Kearney, anonymity isn't a symptom of a deranged mind as Councillor Dingwall would have us believe, it's a symptom of a town living in fear of a mean, brutish mayor and his henchmen.

R. Molnar
