*** New Comments Policy ***

As with most newspapers and media sites I have decided to no longer accept anonymous post. If you wish not to use your full name you may email me at george@georgewimmer.com or text me at 763-442-8749 and give me your full name and then I will allow just the use of your first name when posting. We want to have an accurate account in our comment section that does not devolve into a war of anonymous comments that no one seems to be responsible for. Online comments always seemed to me to reinvent the old town square where people could gather and state their opinions and debate the issues of the day. This was done in the open and everyone knew who was speaking and the speaker stood behind their comments. Too often now words get thrown around anonymously like bombs waiting to go off as the assassin slithers away.
