Good to hear that there is very little hate in West Seattle. I know haters exist everywhere but I would like to think that West Seattle is a live and let live kind of place.

the most incredible thing is finding no hate mail here. Do you know how rare that is for us? Thank you.

For disclosure’s sake, there has been a grand total of one negative comment, which we did not approve for publication. We have made it clear for a long time that traits with which people are born – sexual orientation, gender, race, size, etc. – are not allowable grounds for criticism here; there are many websites that don’t have that standard – but ours does. – TR

Anyone else notice that this story has 100% positive comments? Either there is censoring, or we’ve come a long way, baby. I’m choosing to believe the latter. What a remarkable historic day!

Uncle Joe, I wish I knew! Our team was just out circulating and spotting things and bringing them back fast to where I was anchored with the laptop … I don’t think they got contact info. But if anyone reading this knows, please advise! – TR
