I do not typically respond to comments that are posted that I don’t publish. However, I am going to make an exception this time. There was a comment that I did not publish on the post about the passing of Former County Commissioner Mary Lou Horner. When someone passes away it is customary to reflect on that persons interactions with you over the course of the time that you knew them. That is from the context that I wrote about Mary Lou.

I understand that some of the thousands of readers of my blog are not fans of mine and that is ok. However, if your only intent is to post comments that you know will not get published, why do it? I know the answer. You have the freedom to do so. In 2013 you can choose to get better or get bitter.
