The author from Summit apparently finds it clever to reference a drilling company while his neighbors face the loss of property to a pipeline owned by drilling companies. We know from previous letters that he likes pipelines and now we also know what he doesn’t like: the local press. Apparently he dislikes the Times-Journal and other outlets because they don’t print his letters. My guess is that his letters don’t meet even the most lax editorial standards and offer not a unique perspective on issues of interest but simply the complaints of someone who doesn’t feel listened to. He asks the Schoharie News to step up their game. I would like to echo that request and ask that the Schoharie News take a pass on letters like his that reduce commentary to phrases like “satirical crap.” There are plenty of articulate letter writers who can do better than that and the Schoharie News can do better by choosing them over anonymous crackpots with nothing to add. - Bob NiedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840827107510077184noreply@blogger.com
