Keeping the Site Professional
I was reading another Blog the other day and I begin to think!!!!
What was I thinking, you are wondering.......... Well here it goes
It is OK to disagree with each other but I feel that when you disagree with something or someone stand behind what you think........
The "Blog" also know as WWW.BristolFirefighters.com was designed to showcase the Bravest from Bristol. Well just like babysitting if you don't watch what you are doing someone is going to cross the line and do something they should not. Well as much as I have enjoyed the comments I must make a suggestion and implement a plan!
Here is my plan:
1. This will NOT be a rumor mill! I am not trying to suck up or any of that I am only trying to showcase the Departments! So I am making it mandatory to put your name to place a post......So, you have 2 options. Option 1 set up a user name aka "Truckie" or "leatherforever" and you can even use your name aka "Roark"! It is free and Easy!!!
Option 2..... I can either approve or disapprove of your post before it is placed on the web. I don't like this and I don't want to have to do this!
2.Also, I am going to open the site up to Washington County Fire and Rescue. Hopefully after I make a few contacts I can also add all of the Departments in the Bristol Area (ex. Goodson Kinderhook, Sullivan East, and Avoca!)
I plan to do this because. well frankly WE NEED EACH OTHER!!! and I want to!
This site has been fun, and I really don't mind updating it!
As you can tell we are getting hits from all around the world! I don't know who is commenting and nor do I care, I welcome all comments. I just want people to tell who they are! Be proud of your comments!
Anyway.... I do not agree with all that is going on....Heck I don't agree with much of anything! But I sign my name to everything on this post.
and no I am not trying to suck up or anything! I just want this to be fair, and to keep OUR site fun and professional!
So sign in and fun let us know what you think heck make fun of me I can take it!!!!!
Thanks for you support with this site and HAVE FUN but Be safe!!!!!!!!!
ROARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am fine with what you are going to do, and I understand. We actually talked a little about this topic the other night. While I feel people will still continue to post, I also think you will see a reduction in the amount of posts. Whether or not it exists, I think some may with hold their name for fear of some type of retaliation.
I hope I am wrong, and continue to enjoy reading others points of view.
Keep up the good work.

You are right

I think so to. Too many people say they can take a different view but still gets offended when that right is exercised. A blog is for discussion and some times that leads to things being said that can not be said without fear of retaliation, I understand your reason for posting a name, but then I dont. You dont want to be held responsible for what is said here, but you create a enviroment for discussion. The good with the bad, was this not foreseen? What ever happen to witness protection? LET FREEDOM REIGN!! Other that that, good blog. Thank you, Thank you very much.
Hello guys,
I have been checking in to see what is going on down in Bristol ever since this blog started. This is a great tool for yourselves as well as the public you serve.
I have been running a blog for the Roanoke Firefighters for a couple of years now. Only recently have I had to put constraints on the comments. For the first two years there were only a couple of comments I had to delete. Recently, I have had to delete several. Not because I want to keep people from saying what they want, but rather to protect the publics view of the Roanoke Firefighters. I don't want a couple of stupid remarks to carry the weight of the outlook of the whole department. If they signed their names to it, that would be different. Not because of how I view it, but because if they had to sign their names to it, they wouldn't make the stupid remarks.
Keep your heads up, nothing is perfect. Use the blog as a positive and make positive and constructive comments.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Stay safe.
Keep up the good work Roark
