Decreases in the number of insects and increases in property valuation
2021-04-14
== Insects == Bronwyn Watson’s post about having to clean her windshield for the first time in a long time reminded me of an article i had read about that same sort of observation.[1] I found it in my notes quickly. Entomologists have noted the “windshield phenomenon” — people realizingContinue Reading

I thought I was creating a discussion
2021-04-11
Last week when I wrote in detail about getting the first and second covid shot, I just wanted it to more or less be a portal for others to tell of their experiences- good and bad. It was not a platform to bitch and complain about how ‘poor ole me’Continue Reading
Carmen is an excellent example for my post on anonymity!

Carmen is an excellent example for my post on anonymity! She has manufactured blanket assignments of racist intent and even conjured up a racial epithet that isn’t a racial epithet at all, and dismissed those who disagree because they surely must be evil. You are not illustrating that anonymous peopleContinue Reading
Expunging the Deplorable Side of Chatham County that Carmen Hogan is so ashamed of
2021-04-10
I emphatically agree with Carmen Hogan – an eloquent ambassador of diversity, anti-racism and allyship. I too was stunned at the disgusting racial slur “C**n*s*e Virus” (Biden banned such HateSpeech).. That said, it SEEMS obvious “chathampatriot” is white, making “C**n*s*e Virus” ThoughtCrime and them a Racist. BUT it’s possible theyContinue Reading

Chatlist novice shows real promise of being a famous writer?
2021-03-31
Hello- My name is Dottie Gums, I am the daughter of Al Gums and I am using my Dad’s write-space on the chatlist today. He calls it the chatlist, but I call it the ‘chatterlist’- Ha,ha. As many of you know, I have been studying professional writing for the past threeContinue Reading
Carmen Hogan sees the ugly side of Chatham that just won’t seem to go away
2021-03-30
Every week for the past five years I have driven from the very edge of far eastern Chatham County to Pittsboro to volunteer for the Community Lunch at St. Bart’s Episcopal Church. It is the highlight of my week and has become an integral part of an anonymous journey ofContinue Reading

COVID measures at Habitat store & snide chathampatriot on “mask Nazis”
2021-03-22
As you can tell, I frequent local “discounters.” The other day at the lower Habitat store, I heard a front-line worker there commandingly say, “Sir, will you please pull your mask up over your nose.” He was appropriately assertive causing me to start, but only momentarily – my mask asContinue Reading
It’s one thing for a credible news organization to quote an anonymous source….
2021-03-22
It’s one thing for a credible news organization to quote an anonymous source in order to protect that person’s safety or job security. It’s quite another to allow anonymous personal attacks on a community chatlist. It might be legal, but it sure isn’t ethical. Or particularly brave. Date: Thu, 18Continue Reading

Anonymity
2021-03-21
Gene’s dissertation from 2007 certainly explains the topic and the decision to allow anonymous posts. My short version of Judge Hand’s opinion; One may often be the smartest/most knowledgeable person in the room. One is never smarter/more knowledgeable than all the people in the room. And now we add Google!Continue Reading
