My Take on Using “Real Names”

May 8th, 2009 · No Comments

From: Gene Galin
Subject: My Take on Using “Real Names”

The discussion about using “real names” on the chatlist [and bulletin board] comes up every several years (usually around election time).

Please don’t underestimate the chatlist [and bulletin board] member.  Chatlist [and bulletin board] members are intelligent enough to evaluate the source of an anonymous writing.  They can see it is anonymous.  They can evaluate its anonymity along with its message, as long as they are permitted, as they should be, to read that message.  And then, once they have done so, it is for them to decide what is “responsible,” what is valuable, and what is truth.

Subject: A message from the Chatham Citizen Corps Council

File of Life

This safety suggestion has nothing to do with the current swine flu outbreak, but it is a practice that the Chatham Citizen Corps Council recommends to residents as a prudent measure year round.

The File of Life program was officially rolled out at the April 28 2007 Are You Ready? Fair.  Over 2000 Kits have been given away at 20 sites including Medical Offices, Council on Aging, EMS , Health Department, community college, Churches, and places of employment.  The Program was underwritten by Safe Communities, and the Kits cost the Council one dollar a piece.

Chiropractor recommendation

Subject: Chiropractor

My wife and I have been going to New Branch Chiropractic for a few months now and I am quite happy with them.

I started out after a wreck and the effect has been so good that I even sleep better at night and don’t wake up stiff and sore in the morning.

I’d certainly recommend New Branch… They’re just a few doors down from the Carolina Brewery up by Lowes.

We think the gentlemen’s club post is a hoax

From: Lynn Richardson
Subject: we think this is a hoax

Sharon and others, an associate in my office, Chatham County Planning Department, has looked into this posting and we think this is a hoax.

I suppose it could become a reality in the future that Chatham County or the Town of Pittsboro could receive an application such as this, but this posting seems to be bogus.

Have a good day,  Lynn Richardson

Does Mr. Voller have a problem with people who have a different opinion?

Subject: Randy Voller’s Post

Mr. Voller – Do you have a problem with people having a different opinion than you?

Today, I read a post in  the Chatlist that a gentlemans club is waiting to come to Chatham County if this passes. Is this the way to better the quality of life in Chatham County? Believe it or not, there are people who object to Liquor by the Drink and the effects that it will have .

Jeffrey Starkweather goes ballistic over the fake gentlemen’s club press release

May 8th, 2009 · No Comments

Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:06:08 -0400
From: Jeffrey Starkweather
Subject: Anonymous gentleman’s club post was a sick joke

I was sickened to read on the “family oriented” Chatham Chatlist the pornographic spoof posted on Wednesday by an anonymous poster, “Anna Lyst” , entitled ” Gentleman’s Club plans to move into Chatham County if liquor by the drink is approved.”

This was a feeble attempt at satire and it was clear to me from the title of this post that some opponents of the May 5th mixed-beverage referendum will go to any length to spread false
fears among chatlist readers in hopes misleading them into voting against the referendum. Since I did not care much for the Sopranos’ extremely violent television series I was not aware of the obvious references to that TV show, such as the fact that Silvio Dante was a Mafia character in the Sopranos who ran a strip club.
