I find the posts by Jan Mitchell and Terry Lewis deeply offensive.  My understanding of the intended use of Civil Beat comments section is for people to have DISCUSSIONS and an EXCHANGE of ideas and opinions. In contrast these 2 are taking over the airways as a propaganda pulpit for trolls or staffers to flood the media with false claims made in 7 continuous posts between the two of them..  This intent in clearly NOT discourse. When discourse happens, people read and consider.  When flooding and trolling happen, it shuts down discussions and people go away.  Of course we are talking Democracy in Action - something these trolls clearly neither care about nor wish to participate in.  All that matters to them is furthering their faux agenda.
