Too little too late!
Repetitive, secretive, combative... infantile.
We are out!
Great news !
It's good to hear that some of the ideas shared on this blog are being incorporated in order to make this blog even more effective and popular !
Wouldn't it be amazing if council if was equally as receptive to input ?

You will be missed.
Look at the post above yours Council Cop. Wonder which member of council that was? Closed mind.
Congratulations Aurora Citizen for recognizing that change/improvement is never too late.

I'm unsure how you can claim that this blog, that invites open discussion, is
"Repetitive, secretive, combative... infantile."
But it sure sums up the actions of the GOS.
When you say "We are out!" one has to wonder where exactly you plan to go.
I agree with Council Cop.
The activity on this blog is a testament to a community that is free to make up its own mind and free to voice it. Aurora deserves better, and this blog is a valuable step forward.
Improvements to the design, mechanics and overall user experience will be most welcome.
Will there be the same level of censorship?
To the moderator
Its hard to tell one "anonymous" from another. There may be 15 " anonymous's" for each posting and you dont know if its one person or 15. Cant you require anyone who posts a comment to select an identity.......that's how most blogs seem to work.
Dear Silverback,
In order for people to stop posting anonymously, they require some assurances that MacMor will not threaten their livelihoods, their families and eliminate the preception that if you don't walk in lock step with these two...your life will be misery. That is sadly the truth of how people feel. Those in business feel these two will make life difficult for them. Staff fear their jobs will be in jeopardy. They're not making this stuff up...sadly if you have the confidence of some staff, they will tell you that's how they feel. MacMor will have you think they are protecting staff when in fact, the TOTAL opposite is true. They bully and threaten people with their livliehoods...good luck.
To: " We are out! "
Yahoo!!!!
And come next election...you'll really be out.
Anonymous 1:59 hit the nail on the head.
Even with my handle I expose myself to discovery, which I can't afford to do.
My family needs to be able to go about their business in this town, and not be subjected to the withering glances and dismissive tones of this Mayor and her posse.
Silverback, welcome to the discussion.
I've been posting here for about six months. I don't slam anyone and I don't get a lot of criticism. I'm thinking a lot of the people who post could at least choose an identity. Not one that reveals their true identity... just one that eliminates the "traffic jams" of "Anonymous".
To Anonymous 9:17 "we are out"
What is with the "we"? Is that the royal Phyllis we?
Are other participants of this blog supposed to imagine that you are the representative of hordes of others?
I'm sure you'll be back to this blog.
You are too desperate to know what people of this community are thinking. It sets your spin in gear.
And we all get to enjoy the spin without getting dizzy.
I agree with Elizabeth. I do not see how choosing the type of nadle that most people use on here could identify the individual. I would say there are a few serious cases of paranoia here if they cannot think of an obscure handle that also protects identity.
