The M word should be banned from the SD Reader site but I am not holding my breath. Visions of Floatatopia interviews conducted wearing flippers and a wet suit might compensate for the ban oversight. Or even better an attempt to play sloshball at Kate Sessions Neighborhood Park on July 4 while holding a cell phone camera and getting a scoop seems inspired. Land of the free, home of the CJ. What more can we ask for at this point in time ?— June 30, 2010 8:23 a.m.

Attorney Marco Gonzalez of Let's Ban the Fireworks Fame should jump on the floating ban as there are no bathroom barges at these events to my knowledge. You know what must be released into the water. Where is Marco when we need him ? Of course he supports the seals in La Jolla. I hear that the seals don't wear diapers. Can anyone confirm or deny this ? Do we have video and seal interviews ?— June 30, 2010 7:47 a.m.

Despite $32.5 Million Funding Gap, City to Go Ahead with Library
Surprising that Donna Frye voted Yes as I thought she was generally a NO vote on most issues.— June 29, 2010 9:07 a.m.

"Criticism is valid" - a truism. It may be that criticism is also an art which needs to be used with a delicate hand . To maul another's work is not truly criticism but rather an exercise in literary muscle flexing. Playful written jousting is another thing which engages but does not destroy. I am specifically referencing the incidents where my presumed legal name was posted more than once by 2 regulars who for some reason known only to themselves want to strike fear into bloggers' heart with an "outing" of sorts. We are allowed to be whomever we wish to be on this site and should not fear this sort of behavior. I reported the violations which were quickly removed by Administration. I assume that the "out" was an effort to silence someone who was found threatening ? I am still not sure.— June 29, 2010 8:31 a.m.
Weakening of "Honest Services" Could Affect SD Cases
The impossible dream. If Juan Vargas beats Mary Salas and Ralph Inzunza skates on his federal conviction, Vargas could offer Inzunza a job as his Chief of Staff just like Inzunza was the old days of Council District 8. Stranger things have happened in America's Finest City.— June 28, 2010 9:47 p.m.

I think one should not critique another in ways that they would not want done to themselves and their writing. The "rules of engagement" here seem to violate boundaries which make someone like myself very reluctant to start a blog. I have been subject to posts so out of line that they were removed by admin . That is not a welcoming start for a person like myself who likes to write. Without naming names (a popular sport or so it would seem) one of the regulars has taken a real dislike to me and between that person and a stringer has gone out of his way to be a real hostile presence.— June 28, 2010 9:37 p.m.

I would like to see the detailed costs from the Park and Recreation Department for the extra portable toilets provided for Kate Sessions Neighborhood Park as well as the costs for extra ground maintenance services. Also, it is my understanding that there are continuing expenses associated with SDPD services at this park which should be made public. In these times of reduced services for most parks it seems unfair that one park needs so many extra services if there are no problems associated with drinking at this site. The city is being irresponsible not to address the problems via Council action to date.— June 28, 2010 10:06 a.m.
