Commented on DA's Office Defends Timing Of Charges Brought Against Cyclist In Fatal Crash
I agree. Someone could have requested that the ME wait until after the election to release the report. Looks like the City Family even includes the ME!...
Commented on Candidates Claim Credit for "Tens of Thousands of New Jobs," While Official City Unemployment Only Dips by 900 (Jobs)
If Ed Lee is so dedicated to creating local tech jobs, why has all of his website work been done by a DC firm? And as for those America's Cup jobs, what are those workers going to do until and...
Commented on Lee Criticized For Comments Praising PG&E At Event Thursday
SFBG published a study showing that PG&E was the largest political donor in the City for the last 10 years. It will be interesting to see which of the mayoral candidates gets the most donations from this "great company."...
Commented on San Francisco Households Have Fewer Kids Than Any In California
Our HOA Board hated having kids in the building so much that they harassed us to the point that we complained to the city Human Rights Commission. Someone else in the building tried to physically injure our daughter. People in...
Commented on Is The Chronicle Turning On SFGate Commenters?
I actually posted a comment on Nevius's story about comments creating revenue for Hearst, and a SFGate admin replied, alleging that clicks from comments only make up 2-3% of the site's traffic. Anyone else think that's bs?...
Commented on Newsom On Choosing New SF DA: "The lobbying is getting absurd"
What on earth makes you think Newsom and Daly are out of SF politics?...
Commented on Controversy Over SFO Cabs: Safety Concerns and Fee Increases
When even Willie Brown acknowledges that our cab drivers are dangerous, the last thing we need is a policy that encourages their apparent murderous tendencies. P.S. When do we get to see King Willie's new piano?...
Commented on Daly's Dive Dead: Dispute With Property Owner Ends Supe's Publican Dream
I think he still owes drinks to 10 people, myself included....
Commented on Have Questions On How Chris Daly's Going To Run His Bar? We Have Answers.
"I am shocked, just plain shocked, that the Business Times doesn't (understand) the basics of union organizing." Ha ha! So glad Daly's not leaving altogether. SF politics would be so boring w/o him. Can't wait to see who Nevius's new...
Commented on Proposed Bottled Water Ban Leaves Some Steamed
I was just thinking this morning that the next big landfill problem is going to be from people throwing out all the free tote bags and reusable mugs that businesses are giving out as part of this zero-waste movement....
Commented on Hell on Two Wheels: A Modest Proposal For C.W. Nevius
He is riding his bike. He mentioned in his column today that he almost ran over a pedestrian on the sidewalk. Apparently no one told him he can't ride on the sidewalk in SF....

cv commented on Is The Chronicle Turning On SFGate Commenters?
I do. I basically posited the same thing and no admin replied to me. It's the second most popular comment on that blog entry (52 thumbs up, 6 thumbs down). Perhaps it's sheer coincidence, but shortly after I posted my comment, all mentions of the Nevius blog entry were removed from the SFGate.com front page. Admittedly, I insinuated that anyone who uses their real identity on the Internet has a much higher risk of privacy breaches. Perhaps by invoking the word "Epsilon" to illustrate my point rendered my stance unassailable. I don't know how an SFGate admin would reply to...
Josh commented on Is The Chronicle Turning On SFGate Commenters?
My hope is SFGate and Examiner.com will choose to go behind a pay wall. This would also allow them to implement the mix of anonymous and identified commentaries. Really I hope they do it, because I think it's a failed experiment, and the more money spend and then have to sell? The sooner the better: their editorial legend is far too right wing to be the major paper about town. I'm hopeful that BayCitizen has the initial funding to get an AP feed, and do more write-ups, taking from that feed. And a site redesign, but I think that has...
netzard commented on Is The Chronicle Turning On SFGate Commenters?
I rarely read comments on SFGate anymore as the quality of discourse is so incredibly base and childish. Most of the comments have almost nothing to do with the article they are commenting about. Its all "wacky SF" BS. I have a good friend however, who is addicted to reading and posting on the SF Gate comments board, and seems to feel he is a one-man crusade against willful ignorance. I get regular updates from him as to what the nut-jobs on SFGate are saying. Their forums would improve if SFGate bothered to police them for hostility, but they do...
Donna commented on Is The Chronicle Turning On SFGate Commenters?
It does get really bad, especially the hate speech. But while using real names might help with that, it will also prevent a lot of people from being honest about some topics or even posting at all. I don't actually want anyone with a computer to be able to see what I write about for some sensitive issues. Some of us talk to strangers because we can't say the same things to the people we know personally. I used to post on IMDB a lot. And I thought they had a very good system in which they just quickly deleted...
DT commented on Candidates Claim Credit for "Tens of Thousands of New Jobs," While Official City Unemployment Only Dips by 900 (Jobs)
I haven't been counted among the unemployed for years and I do not collect welfare. Nor am I old enough to collect Social Security. What is the count of SF residents on welfare, GA and "permanent" disability? I'm confident that it is significantly greater than the total number of unemployed....
