Dad is right, he agreed with your comment.
You were and still are out of line with your remark about Preston’s voice. It was rude and socially unacceptable. Defend it if you wish but you better off to apologize.
I will keep praying for you to find some good in this world.

Not true. I am simply agreeing with your self-assessment. Clearly your fragile psyche needs validation, and I'm just trying to provide you with a little.

You are brilliant to figure that out. Nothing gets by you, does it? I don't see anything condescending or defamatory about nasally, do you? I am troubled you and Augustine feel I would sink so low as to start namecalling on this forum. After all, we do have standards on this forum....and so do I, and any fairminded and rational person would not disagree with that at all......
na·sal
1. Of, in, or relating to the nose.
2. Linguistics Articulated by lowering the soft palate so that air resonates in the nasal cavities and passes out the nose, as in the pronunciation of the consonants (m), (n), and (ng) or the nasalized vowel of French bon.
3. Characterized by or resembling a resonant sound produced through the nose: a nasal whine.
n.
1. Linguistics A nasal consonant.
2. A nasal part or bone, forming part of the bridge of the nose.
na·sal i·ty (n -z l -t ) n. nasal·ly adv.

There you go twisting everything you read. If I don't like the tone of the postings and name calling I stay away from the Blog. I know what to expect prior to reading them. This forum is not a Blog but a Public Forum, with membership guidelines.
Don't start labeling me because you don't like what I write. You take the things posted as personal and start calling people names. I see this a lot, daily as a matter of fact, children often act this way when they get angry. The difference here, you're an adult.
Allow us to have our opinions, disagree, use fact, rhetoric or even baloney, however, please stop the personal attacks, cursing and name calling of those who have differing opinions.

So what you are saying is don't mind the foul or name calling language as long as it's not on a public forum. For Erickson to call Douglas a flaming a@@@@@@ is okay because it's not on a public forum.
Perfectly understandable, and you are not speaking out of both sides of your mouth at all here......

Have you (yourself) even followed up and witnessed the conditions of lunch at these campuses? How do you feel about seniors being forced off campus at lunch, and not being allowed to take a fifth hour class? How do you feel about the seniors that play varsity sports not being allowed to take the fifth hour P.E. class that the coaches want them to take? Kind of stupid that they can come back to the campus for practice after school, but they can't come back for a fifth hour P.E. just because 4th hour P.E. is not available to them. And "school procedure" now is to force all seniors to leave if they don't have a class after lunch.
This example isn't just limited to P.E. Many classes and electives are know closed off to seniors. My daughter wanted to take a sign language class...denied because it was only offered during fifth hour and it required her to come back to the campus....she couldn't even stay on campus if she wanted to because there was no fourth hour classes offered for her to take....but if she was willing to drive to another campus, she could take it. Let me get this straight....the district will allow her to go home for lunch (third & fourth hour) and then drive across town for a class....but won't let her go home for lunch and then drive back to her own school for class????
Life truly is not easy sometimes..

I find you quoting a forum pledge more than amusing. After all, you are the one who wrote this:

Michael Erickson is right
If you thought for a minute, that Michael Erickson was over the top with his post By Threatening Adam Maras, Diane Douglas Once Again Proves She’s a Flaming A######, look at this response from Adam Maras when ask about the rumor of Diane Douglas trying to get him to pay for her court fees.

When Michael Erickson wrote this on his blog, did you cry out to him about the lack of civility:

By Threatening Adam Maras, Diane Douglas Once Again Proves She’s a Flaming A######
For those of you offended by the brutal language of the headline, my apologies. But sometimes you simply have to call them as you see them, and in this case I know I’m dead on.
By the way, the only profanity that you are so offended by AUNKM was the quote from Mr. Erickson. So not to offend you again I have ##### for you.

Do you think this may be an attempt to silence the messenger since you can't silence his message he keeps pounding...the Nobel lease? He does ask you all to address it and you avoid it like the plague.

I am curious also about the Nobel lease when you say gadfly has no proof, are you also calling Mr. McCord a liar?
Joe McCord wrote
Because I, too, was curious I checked into it. The cost is NOT covered by the PUSD insurance plan since it involved the cancellation of a contract and that is specifically excluded under the insurance terms. The money will have to come from the M & O budget and that's a real shame.
I will make certain that something like that never happens when I am on the board.

From the mouth of NewsZap. Webmaster, Ausustine has a point.
Why free speech with civility?
1. Because our forum members believe that citizens can disagree about issues without being disagreeable with one another --- and that name-calling, bullying and character assassination undermine the intelligent discussion of public issues.
2. Because a few hateful people shouldn’t be allowed to spoil what is intended as a safe and open public forum where people can discuss the issues that are important to them without opening themselves to vicious personal attacks and threats.
3. Because free speech shouldn’t give people a right to yell “fire” in a crowded theater, to shout down or intimidate those who disagree, or to go beyond the bounds of fair play and decency.
4. Because, as the great modern philosopher Emmylou Harris put it: “The frightening thing is when we lose our civility, which I think is happening across the board, and I find disturbing. As citizens we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. I turn on the TV and I see these grown people screaming at each other, and I think, well, if we don't get our civility back, we're in trouble.”
What is the Public Forum Member’s Pledge?
When individuals register to become eligible to post comments in the newszap.com public forums, they agree to abide by the following pledge:
Public Forum Member’s Pledge
As a Member of the newszap.com forums, I will:
1. Share comments about public issues, and not engage in personal attacks, threats, online bullying or commercial spam.
2. Keep my comments within the bounds of fair play and civility. (I can disagree with others in a courteous manner, without being disagreeable about it.)
3. Express my own opinions but keep an open mind to find value in what others have to say.
4. Uphold the forum’s standards by encouraging others to raise the level of discourse,, and by alerting webmaster@newszap.com of postings that violate this pledge.

Joe, Augustine, she is not worth your time. All she wants to do is get people upset about things she can't prove. I would say ignore her and she will go away but I think she likes read her own words too much to ever go away but if no one replies to her, she will just be talking to herself.

RUNKM...
I'm so glad we have you to tell us what is worthwhile. I find it very interesting that you would make such a double-speak like comment.
You believe that now that the kids are locked up, we just throw away the key and it is no longer a worthwhile topic, yet before it was worthwhile? Was that because each parent had a choice and you couldn't force your way onto everybody?
Do you believe it's no longer worthwhile to point out that the district board isn't following up to see if their "promises" of bringing in more lunch servers, lines, choices, and better conditions, have been kept? I find it appalling that the closers (who forced this down our throats) aren't following up on this and demanding that the conditions they promised are met. After all, the board made these promises on behalf of the closers.
Now all I hear at meetings is..."oh well, we just don't have the resources to get it done"....what a copout!!!
Have you (yourself) even followed up and witnessed the conditions of lunch at these campuses? How do you feel about seniors being forced off campus at lunch, and not being allowed to take a fifth hour class? How do you feel about the seniors that play varsity sports not being allowed to take the fifth hour P.E. class that the coaches want them to take? Kind of stupid that they can come back to the campus for practice after school, but they can't come back for a fifth hour P.E. just because 4th hour P.E. is not available to them. And "school procedure" now is to force all seniors to leave if they don't have a class after lunch.
This example isn't just limited to P.E. Many classes and electives are know closed off to seniors. My daughter wanted to take a sign language class...denied because it was only offered during fifth hour and it required her to come back to the campus....she couldn't even stay on campus if she wanted to because there was no fourth hour classes offered for her to take....but if she was willing to drive to another campus, she could take it. Let me get this straight....the district will allow her to go home for lunch (third & fourth hour) and then drive across town for a class....but won't let her go home for lunch and then drive back to her own school for class????
Yeah....I clearly see how you and district think this is what is best for my kids?

I really like to involve myself with conversations that attack DD's spending the money on this attorney.....
If you would, please stick to the questions I am asking and don't veer from it.
Let me ask you....are you taking the same asinine position that Peoria Dad is taking that until you prove it to me, the insurance company is paying the $1.25 million for the Nobel lease?? You seem to be intelligent, wearing blinders in your views of this district, but intelligent. Surely you understand there is no insurance company that is paying this and this is the reason the discussion about the installment payments, the budgeting, etc. It is pretty black and white here, would you not agree?
Having said that, who in your opinion, who should take the fall for this??? Don't tell me they had to have the lease because of the overcrowding, etc. This $1.25 million happened because there was an error in the contract as it was written. Shouldn't it be Erb???Or should it be the attorney? I opt for the attorney. So, basically, you are all crying about this new attorney and what it costs in the Erb case, but never is it uttered ever from Ercikson, Frank, anybody, how much this old attorney cost the district and it's probably a good thing he is no longer retained. And, if this same attorney would have still been in charge, his opinion no doubt would have said the contract he wrote was good and the cost could have been $2.85 million instead of the $1.25 million the district settled for now. So, I think Douglas has potentially saved the district a lot of money in this case alone. But, it so silly you are coming forth with the argument that Douglas is costing the district so much money because they have this new attorney. $30,000 versus $1.25 million which could have $2.85 million????? It's chump change. Where is the outrage from this side about the amount that has to be paid for this attorney's error? You all immediately clam up and will not discuss it (with the exception of Peoria Dad who to his credit tried to come up with something, as lame as it was).
And. there hasn't been change?? I have heard from Erickson, Frank, etc. there so many administrators that have left because of this new board. I think that is a good thing. We need a fresh outlook, we need to get rid of the attitude we do it that way because that's what we've always done it. I am really hoping Joe McCord turns this district on its ear. I hope he takes a fresh look with new ideas and reenergizes this district. He doesn't seem to take the idea, because we have such a good school district for so many years, we need to keep doing what we've doing. No. it's time to shake up some thinking and I hope he does it...
And we need to concentrate our efforts to worthwhile endeavors......hint....lunch is not one of them....

I am far from young and idealistic. Change is good, however, we are not getting much of that.
DD has NOT saved this district any money. She has cost the district thousands in attorney's fees on her vendetta against Erb. I am betting it will continue to cost PUSD money.
So if you want to stand by DD's performance, at least tell the truth.

*bzzzzzt* Sorry, that's the wrong answer. Thanks for playing!
This "businesslike" approach is what got this district into trouble in the first place. The goal of PUSD is to educate students, not to end up featured on CNN for their financial earnings.

You sound much like our young would-be board member. Although your words sound very good, they really don't mean anything, they have no substance.
Unfortunately, money is what makes the world go around. Money foregone for more teachers, programs, books, etc. is very much concerning to me. I judge Diane Douglas by her efforts to get more dollars into the your classroom by avoiding fiascos like the Challenger project and Nobel lease to name two. As many of you teachers and administrators support Galbraith and Raeder, I hate to break it you but their time has passed. Perhaps the district does need to be more businesslike in their approach to their decisions and this family thing that you all spout needs to go. The "family" term is a euphanism for we want things to remain the same as they were ten years ago. I would like to thank Diane Douglas for the very thing so many of you cry out about her. I think you call it "counting the paperclips". After what has come to light recently, we need somebody counting the paperclips, especially with today's economy. It is obvious the prior board not only wasn't counting the paperclips, but they weren't counting very much of anything except how many times they rubberstamped what the administrators wanted to throw them their way....
Change is often good, sometimes painful, but good.......

If, as you say, DD was reelected based on her performance, than she should have received 100% of the votes as the only incumbent?! Especially since there were only two names on the ballot and most voters had very little idea who was running for the PUSD Board. It appears at least 45% of the people knew enough not to vote for DD. In a General Election that is a very telling statement!
DD didn't win based on her performance, she has not done one thing to improve EDUCATION in PUSD since she was elected. Please don't confuse what she does with educating children. DD has only caused problems for the educators in PUSD and now we have four more years. Her disdain and disrespect of children is very apparent at the meetings. She doesn't visit the schools and speak to the teachers about their needs and she is late to almost every thing she "volunteers" to do.
Many hope Joe McCord will help bring education back to the Board!

Adam, if you have so much money to spread around, now is the time! :-)
You're jumping to conclusion on that. They voted for Douglas because she was one of only two candidates for three positions. I would wager good money that 75% of the people who voted for her have no idea of who she is, and that she is a creatin.

It might be more believeable if you didn't post under your handle just a moment later. Nice try though.

Okay, Dad, you can call me Paula if it makes you happy. Sorry, Paula, out there, my rambling is not something you probably wanted to take credit for...My apologies...but I would like to meet you sometime because these folks sure dislike you.....you should be proud, a proud Peorian....
I do need help, don't I? What do you think, a lobotomy, like on One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest? That ought to do it.

You never answered my question: if you're not Paula, how did you know Frank was talking about Paula Cohen?
I have no idea who Apache Mom is, and frankly don't care.
And the reason you and your insane friend can't follow logic is because you are suckers, and Knecht, Douglas and Murphy know it. In fact, they rely on saps like you, who are too stupid to look into things on their own.
Seriously, you need help.

This is very illogical - sorry Will Robinson, will not compute. Why was the deal made to pay off in installments? If insurance paid, why would these be part of the deal, Peoria Dad - I am going to be like my friend, Frank, and try to "out" you, but I think you and Apache Mom are connected, is that correct? You have the same silly logic.....

Do you sense that I would be excited just because you agreed with me about something? I'll be Paula if you insist...but I'm not....I googled Paula Cohen....you and she have some history it appears....and you're really into guessing who is who...this time you're wrong and don't waste your time with me.....I have reasons to not identify who I am and will not.....probably for the same reason Mrs. Crespino doesn't use her own name on this forum
Only guessing here, but here are my top 4 or 5 you should agree with:
It's time to do a little math here:
1.25 million divided by a teacher's yearly salary we'll say with benefits 50,000 comes out to 25 teachers!!!
Let's do another 1.25 million divided by say $50 per book comes out to, I believe, 25,000 books....
You should be aware of all of this so you won’t be surprised when one of the programs you child participates in suddenly disappears for lack of money.
And you’ll also know who to blame.
Frankly, Adam, I am so tired of you.
It's time for Michael Erickson to admit he really got this Nobel lease situation wrong and that this indeed is something that is going to cost the distrct dearly out of M & O.
It's time for people like Mrs. Crespino to stop her silly quest for vengeance with her email fishing expedition
There is, as always, a serious flaw in your argument. You assume that money would be used for teachers when staffing for the year has already been completed. It would also require that you assume that an equal number of teachers lost their jobs as a result of the settlement. They did not.
That is why we know that school district's liablility insurance payed off this debt, and that Douglas, Murphy and Knecht were simply grandstanding because they know stupid people like you and your deranged friend would fall for it (would you like to buy a bridge to no where?).
Also, please identify the "Mary" you refer to so often. What is her handle?
And one more thing: if you're not Paula, how did you know Frank was talking about Paula Cohen?
You're either making a very big leap, or Frank is right. I'm betting it's the latter.

Even true objective balance has a skew when the validity of one side of the beam is clearly lopsided. A balanced view on an issue sometimes cannot be had when the base argument is skewed unbalanced drivel. Do you expect Adam to be a political alchemist, turn one side's lead argument and turn it into gold in the center?
I tried to understand what the hell was your point here, but as usual, I failed....
