Blackjacking Frank Miele by belittling his wife is lowdown
Over at Montana Cowgirl’s blog there’s a discussion of Daily InterLake editor Frank Miele’s latest column, It’s the ‘AP world,’ but not everyone is buying their vision. I disagree with Frank’s take on Matt Gouras’ story on the tea party’s effect on Montana’s image, but that’s not why I’m calling attention to Cowgirl’s blog today.
Someone using the pen name “Doug” has posted several comments blackjacking Frank by belittling his wife. It’s lowdown, not germane to Cowgirl’s post, and a poster child for what’s wrong with anonymous commentary.
Update. Cowgirl removed Doug’s comments on Frank’s wife.
That’s why I continue not to employ software that lets Flathead Memo’s readers post comments automatically and anonymously. I don’t shout from the shadows on this website, and I don’t let my readers cheapen the discourse by doing so.
