There is not one person accross the hall that isn't a racist pig. If you agree with that as s of a man....you deserve to be put in that category. Joe again you are truly a piece of shi*. Merry Christmas.

::: There's not a parent of a teenager out there who at this minute does not know that their teenager is not only listening to rap music, but dressing like rappers and talking like rappers. Where did the pants hanging down to your crotch come from? How about that ridiculous wearing the oversized hat sideways? That includes the Lynetts, Dohertys, Gatellis and Browns, and so on. Get a grip here. The "N" word is the central word in many of those songs and can be found in the titles to many of them :::

So I guess the above post is leading me toward the direction that I am expected to believe that Joe is a purveyor of rap music and the wearer of baggy pants. And his use of such language is due to the rap music he and his teenage friends listen to ... ahhh, I get it now.

Sin City sounds like he could be first runner up for "Parent of the Year" just behind the pilcheski's.

Amen IHave. I started posting here after Judy Gatelli's daughter and grandaugher became cannon balls at DD. Absent the vile name calling and inuendo, I'd probably be posting at DD now.

Oh, and two other random thoughts...

...like Art, I've been critical of Glenn C, but I applaud him for being a stand-up guy. He has my vote the next time he decides to run for a county-wide office.
...it's not uncommon for cult members to actively defend the actions of the cult-leader, not matter how outrageous his/her behavior becomes. Anyone see a similar behavior in action lately?

Free Speech does't require a multi-paragrah disclaimer Mr. Pilchesky.

Thanks for the response Mr. Brown. I see your point. By the way, I'm/we are not poor slobs with no jobs. We do quite well, but by no means are we wealthy. We'd do much better in other regions for comparable careers though. I took a few years off to raise the kids and it became a little lean for a while, but we're fine now.
Not to inflame you Mr. Brown, but your newspaper sucks compared to others I read. They have hidden a lot of issues fro the public for certain people or institutions in the area.
It's criminal to have to read Allentown, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre or Philadelphia newspapers on- line to read about scandals in the church, casino and gaming news and other news that they will not cover.
I have never seen a mayor treated so well in 30 years. Our mayors have been given the nod for the first year and then the games begin. Not this guy.
Just because he knows your publishers personally, should not be a reason to suppress the news related to him. It's a sin what this mayor is doing to this city and never a word from your paper. In fact, they defend his actions. That's not their job. Their job is to report the news and let their readers decide how they feel. Not drive the story.

Not sure that JOey really thought out what his racist hate filled rant of a post would accomplish, but JOey and the DOlts at JOey LAnD should have a little gander at this...

Criteria for a website to be monitored as part of Section 215 of the Patriot Act by the FBI from the FBI's website.

Web sites that are deemed hate sites display content, or engage in any activity, that:

• is illegal, or advocates illegal acts;
• exploits or endangers a minor;
• compromises anyone'sprivacy by using or revealing personal information;
• condones or may provoke violence toward any individual or group on the basis of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation
• is vulgar or violent; or
• may cause or encourage substantial harm or damage to others or its members.

Furthermore an administrator will not permit anyone else to display such words or images, or engage in such activity, on any webpage pages they control (profile, journal, private messages, group pages, etc.).

The above criteria applies to an individual poster's activity and content anywhere on the website, including articles, forums, profiles, journals, groups, photos, videos, audio, etc.

::: ... think there are about 10 people who actually post, the rest are all from Joe and Edith. :::

Edith?? Someone actually referred to his wife as "Edith" on the dd website? Looks to me as if someone reads this site primarily and his site secondarily. My my my how the tables have turned

And the disention continues.....nice post Hardcore! It is good to see some people have a conscience.

I stand by my post." I have an idea, blonde. Go to a baseball game at Yankee Stadium, and when you pull out of the parking lot, turnright instead of left. After drivinga couple blocks, get out of your car and ask some of the indigenous poputationif the word "Nig**r is racist to them. Then calmly explain that the word doesn't have any racial connotations to you. Your defense of the usage of the "N" word is a load of bullsh!t. The same goes for Pilchesky's use. The word may have lost some of it's impact in the hip hop/rap culture, butcallinga black person "Nig**rimpacts them on a visceral level that non- black's cannotfathom. We can all sit here anddefend our beliefs with hollow claims of "not intending the meaning to be racial", "Having black friends," or other equally abysmal excuses, but the real truth is the use of the N word is racist, is a racial slur, and it's usesmacks ofneanderthal thinking. Mr. Pilchesky, you need to apologize, and you know it. (NotA) DumbBlonde, you need to cut and pasteyour results ofan online search of the meaning of the word Nig**r, (since that seems to be your forte). While your at it, research the word"sycophant". If you publicly massaged Pilchesky's genitalsit would be a refreshing hint of subtlety.

Let me see, in the world of Pilchesky apologists, we seem to have two schools of thought when it comes to Joe & the 'n' word:

1. The 'n' word appears in popular culture, rap videos, various Dave Chapelle show videos, etc., therefore it was ok for Joe to use it. [The fallacy? Lowlife elements of popular culture use the word to sell music, etc.; that's nothing more than dispecable. Read Bill Cosby & Alvin Poussaint's excellent book, Come on, People! for a more detailed exploration of this topic. Did Joe use the word to sell a rap album or a TV show? No. Joe used the word in a fit of hateful rage.]

OR

2. Joe was actually correctly using the 'n' word as a descriptive for someone so low, so vile, so guilty of high crimes that the worst of slurs should apply to that person. [The fallacy? The person the word was thrown at wasn't guilty of rape, murder, stealing food from orphan children; no, that person was guilty of writing an article that Joe Pilchesky did not agree with. Using that kind of logic, I guess it would be perfectly ok for me to Tasar a waitress the next time I am at Denny's and the food takes a little long to get out.]

I would have left it up in unedited form. It is what it is, and should be judged on its in-your-face merits (or lack thereof).

I honestly do not believe so, but I see your point...if violating the terms of service is a concern. I never really thought it violated the TOS in the first place, if you catch my drift...

As we are not promoting racisim we were clearly not in violation of the terms of service. Joe on the other hand often is in violation of the sparklit TOS.

Well done Lus. It is the correct decision.

Ok ... now I didn't think we would be posting to this once again but I just had to ... I made a trip across the hall and it seems that they are highly upset with the comment made by Louis DeNaples:

Specifically, I am referring to where I am quoted as saying, ''To me, black people all look alike.''

I apologize for the insensitivity of this remark.
Louis A. DeNaples


I am not saying that it was right for him to say that ... but come on ... it seems that the DD goons are upset over this statement ... why is that ... Joe can use the "N" word and it's perfectly fine with the goons ... but Louis DeNaples is bad for what he said ... I'm trying to figure this out ....

Hestood behind what he said instead of trying to cover it up with an apology. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Pilchesky is a dirtbag in my humble opinion, but he says what he means and means what he says, like it or not. I can live with that.
Well at the very least this poster ... even though he condones the way Mr. Pilchesky stood behind what he said ... called Pilchesky a dirtbag ...

Quote | Reply RE: Denaples News and Indictment As seen on WNEP's Website: DeNaples Article WNEP-TV "The paperwork even indicates that when shown a photograph of Ali, DeNaples said, "To me, black people all look alike."" If I were attending Lackawanna College, the University of Scranton or planned on attending the new Medical College, I think I'd have to consider the comment these schools, by virture of accepting money and in at least two cases, allowing this man to serve as a trustee, are making. While extolling their diversity in staff and student population, hosting diversity offices and programs and making a show of being equal-opportunity institutions, they apparently are doing just that, making a show. All three institutions should denounce the comments allegedly made by DeNaples and distance themselves from the man, in the name of respect and dignity for all. Of course, that would mean distancing themselves from his money. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. __________________ I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

There are more examples ... but I don't want to go overboard here ... now they are really nothing more than a bunch of hypocrits over there ... come on guys ... how can you be for what Joe said and against what Louis DeNaples said ...

I do want to make it clear that I do not condone what Mr. DeNaples said ... however I do not think it's right for the Goon Squad to crucify him over it when they said it was ok for Joey to use the "N" word .... just a thought!

It's been a long time since he's spewed all those ten dollar words. It also sounded like that whole back-and-forth dialogue was scripted.
