Patch has been nakedly exposed as being "in the bag" for Jim Martin almost as loyally and rabidly as is the Morning Call. But since Patch needs every reader and comment keystroke it can get right now, it's not banning Bill (for now; sadly, I'm certain this will change). Also nakedly exposed (and corroborated, yet again) is the shameful cyber stalking and cyber bullying the Villa family has been subjected to, for their "sin" of speaking truth to power. Keep up the excellent work, Villas, Jim Martin will see how many people are in your corner on election day this November.455 West Hamiltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079414674155059027.post-36323370789666120742011-06-24T11:32:15.361-04:002011-06-24T11:32:15.361-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079414674155059027.post-41759063960615412152011-06-24T07:47:22.065-04:002011-06-24T07:47:22.065-04:00Related Story ;D<a href="http://bloggingdottie.blogspot.com/2010/06/villas-victories.html" rel="nofollow">Related Story </a> ;DAngie Villahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994217997761386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079414674155059027.post-64934635281444430602011-06-23T20:51:05.932-04:002011-06-23T20:51:05.932-04:00Readers (and stalkers), FYI, looks like Patch fina...Readers (and <a href="http://woldfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fat-blogger1.jpg" rel="nofollow">stalkers</a>), FYI, looks like Patch finally caved and deleted the cyber stalkery comments around 8:30pm on 6/23, including (and especially) my comment about the FREE OBITS at Patch, and THAT'S the comment that obviously concerned them.
