Tidewater News and Opinion Forum
A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
The number of participants here has dwindled over recent weeks to the point that it no longer serves its purpose.
It appears people have found it easier to adapt to the Pilot’s restrictive limits and avoidance of national news than to keep a second tab open on their browsers.
But the marketplace has spoken, I will let this blog go dormant for a couple of weeks and if nothing changes, take it down.
No Collusion, nothing that crossed the line on obstruction, but you’d never know it from the the press.

The comment certainly disagrees with their position, but it does not violate any of their rules.

It is inherently dishonest to use the term ‘denier’ in referring to climate skeptics, linking disagreement with radical climate policy with Holocaust Deniers, and dismissing an inherently complex scientific and policy controversy as a binary, good guy vs bad guy issue.
