Patch needs to consider instituting a policy, much like the MedfordMass yahoogroup where residents who want to post do so using a name, a legitimate telephone number and an address.

Imagine people going up to the City Council and just making up a name and an address to engage in conduct like the aliases (known on the internet as "trolls") are doing to disrupt Patch.  It isn't fair, and that is how they work, unfairly.

The non-profit Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. bullied people.  In - perhaps - the most shameless and outrageous display yet, some woman living in Malden, who has lied repeatedly at the city council and on Patch, continues the bullying, though her private life is a mess.  Perhaps she is so angry she needs to besmirch people she is jealous of.  Why should the good work of people doing the heavy lifting have to be subjected to nonsense, invective and a chilling fixation from that woman that is beyond the pale?

The Huffington Post is going to start being more careful with who posts what.  Free speech is a wonderful thing to right wrongs in city government.  As Rush Limbaugh is scrutinized for the horrible comparison he just made to the filibuster (comparing it to the "R" word) - the outrage on Huffington Post will snowball.

Patch, being community media, has readers and bloggers that aren't as distant from the battle as public figures being criticized on Huffington Post. It's a different animal totally.

Patch readers get it.  The individuals who bullied politicians in violation of the Internal Revenue Code, the husband of the Malden woman a prime example, continue to bully.  They made so many enemies in Medford those two in particular had to flee to the city next door.  Improving Medford starts with oversight over Pop Warner, WMH Little League (and what came after that debacle), public access TV and protecting residents from the bullies that it took us ten years to dethrone.

They are angry.  They are still lashing out.  But without the TV station they are reduced to aliases on Patch echoing the last bitter remnants of a private little club of vindictive people who are - at long lost - removed from power. 

Our goal is to improve Medford.  Charter change, term limits, a new access station.  That is the goal.  Popcorn from the peanut gallery like the absurd post some fictitious name published is actually an endorsement. If we're getting flak, we must be over the target.
