How long do we think this poster will be allowed to continue to post at DD ... seems as though this poster is giving Pappa Pilchesky a little hell .... hmmmm ... anyway take a look. Hey... Mor Rioghain can you say Banned????? Because that's what I see in your future!

Joe, as long as nothing has otherwise been proven andyou are simply grasping at straws in trying to making associations, would it be safe to say then, that you could (hypothetically, of course) be considered, for example, a registered sex offender simply by the association of a shared last name, whether or not he or she is in fact a relative of yours? As long as we're being told to assume a relation based simply on a last name, I would think that this would fall well within the lines in the sand that you've randomly drawn thus far. Especially considering that your last name is not nearly as common as others may be. Thoughts?
Saying something is a fact does not make it a fact. What makes it a certainty that this is his son and not a similarly named yet unrelated person? Not one thing has been offered up to verify your assumptions. Talk about kool-aid drinkers.
Ao you "never categorically stated" it in so many words, but you're clearly taking the position that it is the mayor's son without really backing it up, and expecting others to follow suit simply because you said so. Yes, I'm challenging that, asking for some sort of substantive proof. All I've seen here in this thread are followers toeing the line. No facts, merely weak assumptions by a weak man, based simply and solely on a last name.
shame on all of you. this is a teenager, not a person of PUBLIC interest, mayor's son or not. you would be incensed if it were your son's name getting thrown around. if that's the case, let's talk about some other people's sons and daughters. it just gets nasty from there. grow up and move on to something else.
This is a young adult, NOT a teenager. Underage is a different story. What the hell kind of son is the mayor and his wife raising showing such contempt for law enforcement? The mayor is a big shot, or didn't you know? He's a big, powerful political influence leading the charge against economic depravity by spending us into oblivion. He likes to play "look at me, look what the Times writes about me". Well, let the Times write that about him.At this point, how about if that were Tommy Gilbride's son, if he even has one. I don't know if he does or not, but ifthis were his son, they'd fry him. No problem slamming Gio Piccolino's younger brother all over the front page last year.
It's going toget nastier than you can imagine as 2008 unfolds, so get used to it.Mothers, fathers, kids over 18, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmothers, grandfathers, dogs and other farm animals, if they're related to Doherty in any way, shape or form, they're game if they step out of line.That's just the way it's going to be.
Crow eaters wrote: 4. Pilchesky, I know he's 19, but he's not a political figure. You have a son not much older than that. This could easily be him, then what??? Let's keep the bashing to the office holders.
If my son gets pulled over by the authorities for anything and takes off, on foot or otherwise, he better keep going. Doherty's adult kid is a political figure by association to his corrupt, thieving father.

Hmmmmm .... this poster is lasting much loner than I thought he/she would .... but yet I still get the feeling that Pappa Pilchesky will be clicking the old ban button anytime now! His little sheep are getting somewhat aggitated with this poster!
Correction Buzz, this isn't speculation. This is watercooler gossip. This is ths stuff that 12 year old Jr High girls engage in all the time.
I could make up similar rumors about Janet Evans right now and most people on this board would have cow. What's the difference? Ya'll simply like Janet Evans, therefore you don't tolerate the rumor mongering directed towards her.
Tune into ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN. Most of the stories reported are from an unknown source. So tell us what makes us any less reliable. (Sarge you think your DD posts are a little more important than they are ... wow ... and here is the thing I'm sure that the media groups that you are referring to check out their stories before reporting on them ... that's what makes them more reliable .... more trustworthy ... and I'm sure that it's not just that a reporter is out for a cup of coffee and a danish at Chick's Diner and overhears a conversation and takes it as gospel ... that is what makes them more reliable!)

Here is a thought Sarge ... call CNN and maybe they will look into all of your accusations .... they may ask for proof though so ... that could present a little problem ... although you may get them to report on the STO ... but the theory that Doherty will soon be wearing an orange jumpsuit ... not so much because if you all could prove it ... he would be wearing it by now!

No mention of Inside Addition, Sarge? Wasn't it in the wind they and Osama Pilchesky were going to run a story on the corruption in Scranton? What happened to that news?
The post by Sarge is laughably ridiculous. Major news organizations may say a source "wishes to remain anonymous" but the reporter(s) in question know the individual directly of know of them, making them a credible source.
Sarge is reaching at straws, trying to justify gossip as somehow being more than...well...gossip. Nice try Sarge, but no dice.
Once again they do more harm to themselves than anyone else ever could.

Go ahead Sarge, call one of the main stream media outlets with one of your stories and see what happens...
Sarge here's some advice. Instead of playing DD poster during your late night security gig, read the paper, watch late night infomercials or take a nap.
Does anybody else wonder why Sarge only posts late night/early morning M-F. Could it be he's posting while working a late night security gig?

Good call FDSP never noticed that until you called it to my attention.
Hey Sarge you tool....their sources are not "unknown",you fool, they are "unnamed"which is considerably different, you idiot. The reporter does not "name them" but the reporter "knows" the source, you fool. In addition they have to get additional sources to confirm the information before they can go forward with a story theyuses UNNAMED sources. I would keep my day(night?) job ifI were you. You aren't thebrightest light on the tree are you?
I would think the CNN, ABC, NBC, etc. equivalent of an "un-named" source faaaaaar outweighs the Scranton version of an "un-named" source. While the former may have insiders at the FBI, CIA, NSA, gas & oil companies, law firms and any number of advocacy agencies - the latter's got the unfounded rumors of dee dee dot com, where if you say it more than three times, it must be the gospel truth.
Oh Yeah, they've got their fingers on the pulse, alright.
Well we saw this coming. JOey has BANNEDMor Rioghain.
It fits the pattern of JOey LAnD free speech which is do as JOey tells you, follow the sheep mentality, and post as much rumour/inuendo as possible - facts be dammed.

Here is a gem from a new Poster regarding why all of sudden the protector of Covington, the scourge of Scranton, the Clown of the Commonwealth Joe Pilchesky set his sites on former District Justice Atty Joe Toczydlowski accusing him of drug use. Wonder how long before it is edited for clarity or is removed for purposes of Freedom of Speech:
Glenn, I got the inside skinny on this. Joe T. somehow gave Pilchesky's kid a little screwing over a roofing dispute in Jessup. There was a court hearing two weeks ago and the arbitrator wouldn't let Joe help his kid argue the case and actually made him leave the courtroom, so there was a big blowout over that because according to Pilchesky Judge Minora gave him the OK to sit with his kid during the arbitration but Joe T said Minora never said it knowing that it was true. Something to that effect. This is all about Pilchesky being pissed at Joe T. for what happened in the courtroom, but early in the case Judge Munley also stuck it to his kid somehow, so Munley is probably in Pilchesky's sights. Hey, it's his message board and he's used it lots of times to rip into whoever he saw fit to rip into.
Credit to Glen for trying take the high road at DD on this issue.
AntisAuntie responds to Glenn's post ... now I only have one question ... where in this post does Glenn say that "recreational" drug use by anyone is ok? I don't see it ... but maybe I am blind ... Glenn you didn't condone "recreational" drug use did you ... in fact I don't even see the word recreational in your post!
1. The tax collector up in Scott Township was Joe's father.
2. I'm not defending any past behavior (and we are talking seven-plus years ago), but I know for a fact that Joe T. does not use drugs.
3. He has a small law practice with a few associates, a wife and three kids, and a mortgage. The price he paid was a substantial one, which was coming in second in the 2005 Democratic primary for reelection and losing his "lifetime appointment".
4. There are still prominent people actively defrauding the taxpayers of Lackawanna County. The Coal Mine people are still at large and unrepentant, the tax office scandal will reverberate for years, and the county is borrowing more and more to pay its bills so the majority can avoid becoming Dunmore on a bigger scale.
5. It is my opinion (to be taken as just that) that this is simply piling on for its own sake. The matter has been discovered, handled, and remedied, unlike that of the County Controller, who is still at large collecting $70,000 a year for not showing up at work since the third week of April.
That disturbs me more than an eight-year-old closed case.

Glenn, I respect your opinions but in this case you are wrong. I don't know about his current drug use, but he admitted that he smoked pot in the past. He was a Judge and he is a lawyer. He is held to a higher standard, and, sorry, but as a lawyer, when you make a mistake of this magnitude it sticks with you for life. He may have paid a price, but this mistake will not be forgotten, and nor should it. He was an illegal drug user. People expect more from lawyers, and they certainly expect more from Judges. Sorry, he doesn't get a free pass now. I don't know what he said to Joe P., but he will never live the drug use down, and I am sure that each lawyer that deals with him in the future will keep his prior drug use in mind. Drug use kills kids, it kills adults, it wrecks families, it destroys communities, it breaks down society, and it causes people to make bad decisions. There is no "light" drug use, and there is no drug use that is acceptable. It is illegal, and it is illegal for a reason. Sorry, just my opinion. I am surprised that a lawyer such as yoursefl would make such comments public. Do actually think that "recreatinal" drug use by a former magistrate Judge is OK?

You can file this statement in the DD BAU category...
5. It is my opinion (to be taken as just that) that this is simply piling on for its own sake.
Seriously, how is what they are doing to this attorney ANY DIFFERENT than what has been written about COUNTLESS OTHERS at DD? Ok, maybe this one hits closer to home for you (as it appears that you know the individual in question), and while I applaud you for pointing out the obvious piling on, haven't you see his behavior before?
You're doing the functional equivalent of walking into the kennel and shouting at the top of your lungs "My God, there are a lot of dogs here!".
