George Gillespie July 28, 2010 at 6:09 pm When you know who is complaining you can deal with it. Since I have never hid behind a user name and made my identity known, I have many people grace my doors steps from Ron Gabrielson, calling me ever name under the sun which I caught on tape. Your man discussing his dissatisfaction with my views which is also on tape. County commissioners and city counselors have graced my doors to discuss my views. True feelings. No one will be posting anything closeif they do they are inviting retribution and conflictcause those in places of authority believe they are above everyone else and can muscle their agendas.
Another comment at the Trib. GEOKARJO
I would consider it a form of censorship, made possible by our one and only Local Newspaper.
is the ron g. cussing geo out available on a thread here?

“3. Making the albertleatribune.com site one of the most successful websites in southern Minnesota: We are seeing over 10,000 unique visitors daily, and a 41 percent increase in web traffic over the last two years”.
Would you care to take a bet whether that will continue on the “new and improved” site?

That sounds suspiciously like “We live in the greatest nation in the world. Vote for me and help me change it.”
You had a site that garnered a huge number of hits–and UNIQUE hits at that–and you decided to “improve” it?
Dylan Belden, former Tribune Editor, also decided that he was going to “improve” the website (second-largest in Minnesota) by requiring signatures. The results?
Tribune Website pulled.
Belden fired.
AlbertLea.com established as a successful alternative.

Remember this one? Dylan Belden, editor for how long? Few of us are still around form the old trib website. This shows what the power of the people have. The bigger difference is this forum is already here.

I know I've clicked on far, far fewer trib pages in the last two days. I'm sure they sell their online ads based on pages viewed.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past.
I have registered at the new site, and posted only once. I'm not sure how much I will comment there anymore. I was thinking about trying to break the habit of doing that anyway, so maybe now would be a good time.
Some of the articles take a really long time to load - I know it's new software and they have to work out the kinks, but didn't they test it out before they launched it?

It's nice to see the face with a name. All this time I thought Jeshua was a girly from all the posts on certain topics. Turns out I was wrong?

I don't plan to include the Tribune headlines on the front page any longer since they don't need the traffic, and because the publisher is always insulting this site when he pretends to be a writer once a week.
