BLOGGER CHICKEN

Ok, Mike has made a good point. I admit it, while I assumed at some point when we started this blog that I would be “outed” by somebody sooner or later and most likely have to suffer some consequences for being involved with this blog, at this point I am not going to reveal who is behind this blog. The Havre community has seen many vindictive actions taken between the members of the political parties and various businesses over the last decade. Vandalism, boycotts, hatred, name calling, and loss of business. Some of the people contributing to this blog fear retaliation for posting these “behind” the scenes types of items, such as the secret meetings and decisions at the school board, etc. Irritate the clerk in charge of buying office supplies and it’s “hello mail order Quill Corporation, good-bye locals” Berate the actions of a councilman with union ties, there goes your chance of advancement and on and on. There is potentially allot at stake for those that would dare to question any “authority” even if it is done in a polite manner.


Ever go to a council meeting to complain about something? You don’t exactly get welcomed with open arms, nor are you listened to with any credibility given to your opinion if it disagrees with the opinion of one of the boys with “power”. This is not a town of loving, caring people trying to “get along” to advance the community. The City boys HATE the County and vice-versa. Not dis-like, but HATE. How can you operate an informational discovery venue without one of the warring factions thinking you are on one side or another?

Mike, though we are chicken shits, we are going to take your point to heart and try to ratchet down the antagonistic tone of this blog. We are still going to attack and call what is stupid, stupid but hopefully we can make this a great place to vent.

Thanks for your opinion and we hope at some point others will share what they know is happening behind the scenes also. Please recognize that some things can only be brought forth anonymously.
