Dave,
I spent a lot of time putting together an update for all the folks who want to know what's happening that encompasses much more than the very small section of one or two sentences that you alluded to. Can you replace all but the section you disagreed with? I don't have a copy of what I wrote and don't want to go through the large amount of time it took to put the original post back together again from scratch.
I appreciate your concern to protect the truth. However, the next time you decide to censor my posts, if it is possible, a phone call would first be appreciated, if for no other reason than to give me the opportunity to save what was already on there, as I do not have a copy of the post and must start all over from scratch. If you must remove it immediately in the interest of time and saving my life, would you please save a copy of the text first?
I appreciate your concern for my life and safety, Dave. However, I respectfully disagree with your statement. There was no sensitive information on that post other than the generic statements regarding the fact that law enforcement is interested in the information regarding the victimization of our residents, a fact that is well known by those involved already. This very point was made to everyone as one of my goals during the VRG meeting held on February 22. They had reps at the meeting. This is not news to them. No one is that naive. No specific departments, divisions, officials, or other sensitive information was divulged as far as I can remember, since I can no longer see what I wrote. If you disagree, I'd like for you to call me and let me know. I'll be happy to correct the record. Others whom you know very well have already cited meetings with the State's Attorney several times both on the blog and at meetings. This is not news. I also believe, having been in law enforcement for a long time in positions where a top secret clearance is required to protect classified material, that I can easily determine what is considered sensitive and/or classified information.
Aside from the 1st amendment considerations which I won't go into at this point, if you want to pull my posts, I respectfully request a head's up ahead of time if possible so I can copy the text to rewrite it without starting again from scratch. There was a lot of other good info on there. I hope you understand. Put yourself in my shoes. I don't think you'd be too happy if someone censored information that you thought was of importance simply at their own discretion.
Maybe since this is the first time I've been censored, I may be overreacting. No biggie. I'll get over it. If you have a copy of the original post, can you email it to me? Again, thanks for looking after me... It's appreciated. :-)
PS There's no need to respond. Just call me instead if you want to chat. Thanks.

I have lost posts I made for the blog—not because they were removed, but because I goofed up in getting them posted. I do better now. If it's a long posting I don't want to lose, what I sometimes do is type it in in Word in a desktop folder labeled "Blogs." When it's done, I simply paste it onto the CV Blog. If it gets lost in the process of posting, or if it should be removed for some reason, I still have it on file. Just a thought for you, Lee. It's an extra step but a small one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lanny.Good idea. I actually had the text in a wordpad doc and was going to save it, but decided at the last minute that if I needed it to use for my meeting later, I could just copy it from the blog itself. I just didn't expect it not to be there when I opened the blog the next day. Oh well, lesson learned, right? Now I know better.... Thanks again.
