My rant for the day [Archive] - In Session Message Boards

I realize that we live in a free world where we can freely express ourselves. And I realize that message boards are a specific avenue to express opinions.

I also know that I'm the "freshman" here, and will probably become a specific target now, but I can't keep my mouth shut.

Frankly, I can't understand how bashing other posters, criticizing their points of view and gossipping across message boards, can possibly aid in the search for the truth about what happened to Gricar.

Am I correct, that since all these posts are going on under the "Ray Gricar" threats in cyberspace, finding the truth surrounding his disappearance, wherever that truth may lead, is the common goal???

Seriously. I'm here (and there) hoping to uncover something LE missed. My guess is, over the years, lots of people have been drawn to the boards for the same reason. But after a few weeks, slink away because of the "personality clashes and junior high antics" that seem to occupy the space. We need fresh ideas, fresh eyes in order to look at the same piece of evidence for a 100th time, maybe finding something we missed before. Chasing away those "fresh eyes" can't possibly help the cause.

I just wish we could all agree to disagree and keep looking for the truth. Naive? Probably. Hopeful? Without a doubt.

As always, this is JMO.

He did endorse MM for the GOP nomination, and was silent for the Democratic nomination.

Link, please? The only thing I could find, was that he hadn't answered a question about endorsing MM over JKA, citing it was "too early".

(snipped from CDT Reporter Mike Joseph's Thin Man )

My followup question to Gricar during that March interview in his office looked further ahead, but did not get into the story I wrote at the time. I asked Gricar whether he would support Madeira over Karen Arnold, his long-time assistant district attorney who had just completed filing paperwork to seek the Democratic nomination for district attorney.

That followup question seemed to surprise Gricar, and he never did give me a complete answer. He said instead that Arnold too was a good prosecutor, and that the general election, then eight months away, was too far off for him to be able to answer it.
