Abusive contributors and trial coverage
Recently, until this morning, I've been hard-pressed to do little more than moderate the comments, and recently I've had cause not to publish some comments. To some of those contributors, I will say again that I will not publish posts that contain unnecessary personal abuse, whether addressed to me or others who comment. And it's my call. Simple as that.
Meanwhile the NLRB trial is continuing with its third day testimony today. I have finished testifying but I still can't discuss anything. However freelance writer Leah Gouker is providing excellent coverage of the trial for Holomua.org, the Web site of the Hawaii Newspaper Guild. Gouker is a Pahoa High grad with a degree in journalism from UH-Manoa and she's done an excellent job with the complex trial issues over the first two days of testimony. The site will be updated after each day's court session.

Really the first and only thing I have read, other than
Hunter's alluding to it here.
Mr. Bock and Mr. Zinser sound like a coupla real sweethearts! My subscription pays them?! ;(
One question nags at me Mr. Bishop.
How could you (or anyone else) have been so patient or cowardly as to have worked with such d*!*heads for so many years?
Good luck.
I have attended many (though not all) of the trial sessions as an observer and have failed to find "where's the beef?" warranting any suspensions __ let alone any right to fire anyone. Work rules were made up AFTER the fact and applied arbitrarily.
If this were a criminal trial the judge would have ordered mistrial already. Federal administrative cases take time and patience, I have been counseled, but I see the the old Hans Christian Anderson tale returning in spades. The king (the Stephens Media Group) is simply without clothes.
Peace.
