luckymom30ParticipantAnd I do not owe anyone an apology when I was not the person who sent the incorrect spelling of my daughters name to WSB.

GenHillOneParticipantOh my god, your poor daughter. Please stop! Now you’re publicly throwing staff under the bus? As noted, 100K people read this and you’re entirely missing the point.

inactiveMemberThanks for the backup GHO.
I’m sitting here shaking my head and laughing.
Wooooosh…..the sound I hear as it all flies over her head. ;)

SonomaParticipantI think nuff said on all sides. There are more important issues going on in the world. But thanks for the brief distraction.

athena10MemberHey, Luckymom30, thank you for recognizing the hard-working students at Roxhill. For the last two weeks they have not been permitted outside because they need to study. The wonderful 5th grade teacher Mrs.Stoehr and the Golden Apple award winner Pat Bliquez, Librarian, wanted the students to do VERY well in the Global Reading Challenge.

SonomaParticipantHoly moly! I’m sure these kids are great, and I congratulate them for their achievements, but “not permitted outside”?!? A little fresh air is good for the brain.

athena10MemberAll students participanting in the Global Reading Challenge had to study very hard and that meant to give up on recess, combine their lunchtime with study time.

mightymoParticipantThe blog is a community resource but not a bulletin board. I love WSB and their commitment to covering every little thing that happens in our neighborhood, but 1) they edit and curate what makes news and 2) they are humans who have limited resources. I can’t imagine why anyone would demand a news site put their story on the front page — although some sure try and I’m sure some community news sites would comply. To publicly complain about when and where (or if) a minor story is covered on WSB is pretty rude, to be honest.

2 Much WhineParticipantAlthough my profile makes it look like I am a new reader I have been reading and commenting on the blog for several years now. In that entire time I have never come across a posting that exhudes such an air of entitlement. I almost responded to this thread last night but decided to chill for a few hours before I came across as being critical of Luckymom. Perhaps LM should have followed that same process. I just can’t fathom the personality type that would be so demanding (with such little appreciation in return). Hey LuckyMom, bring me a sandwich. . . . . .

2 Much WhineParticipantHey, where’s my sandwich?
March 18, 2011 at 3:51 pm #720607
2 Much WhineParticipantI wanted mustard on it. . . . . can’t you do anything right?

luckymom30ParticipantRoxhill Elementary School deserves the same coverage anyother school, and FYI people I was responding to WSB’s link that stated if you have nes of others schools who are attending the City Finals please contact us. I tried, without an reply, as did Chris Robert and that was because TR took a nap when she states her website is a 24/7/365 site.
These kids are awesome, did an amazing job as did the other kids advancing to the City Finals.
I never stated once that WSB does not do an amazing job, people.

datamuseParticipantJust as a point of interest, luckymom30, how long did you wait for a reply from WSB before posting to the forum? Cause to be honest, it reads as though your complaint is that WSB didn’t respond instantly to your request. That strikes me as a touch unrealistic and I think it’s what a lot of people are reacting to.

TammiWSMemberNot to mention this isnt breaking news. Your comment about not getting a response when its a 24/7/365 site is a bit snarky. The site is up and functioning 24/7/365 – doesnt meant the editors are!
I guess luckymom30 stays awake 24/7/365 being a mom and never takes a nap. Lighten up.
March 18, 2011 at 4:17 pm #720611
JustSarahParticipantAfter this comment: “because TR took a nap when she states her website is a 24/7/365 site,” I’m not inclined to take seriously anything else luckymom30 says. If the original post wasn’t rude and entitled (I think it was), that comment sure was. That left me speechless.
LM30, you’d probably agree that you’re a parent 24/7/365; does that mean you never sleep?
Besides, that’s not even the point – WSB does collect and report news 24/7/365. Just because someone wasn’t manning the email contributions at that moment certainly does not mean someone else wasn’t out digging through police reports, or following up with DPD on a project, or photographing an accident scene, etc.

JoMemberHoly Moly!
This is unbelievable.
And, WSB, you most definitely do NOT owe an apology to anyone because you took a nap, or took a break, or…etc. and did not respond IMMEDIATELY to someone’s demand.

luckymom30ParticipantThen how can it be a 24/7/365 site when nothing is being posted?
March 18, 2011 at 4:32 pm #720614
mightymoParticipantI’m starting to think this isn’t a real person.
WSB is up 24/7/365, both with updates to real breaking news stories and with a bulletin board that anyone can post on if another story develops. Kids doing something positive at an elementary school is not a real breaking news story that should interrupt needed rest for TR and company.

luckymom30ParticipantPeople, people, people! Calm down! Everything worked out it was posted, name was corected, other team membres names were added. RELAX PEOPLE! We did however notice that in new postings were added to the site frontpage since 5:11 and with that it mind people we contacted WSB to see what was going on as it is always posting news items of different type. And no it was not to just get the achievement of Roxhill online but to see what was going on at WSB. It seemed out of place with what we have been reading and seeing.
Contacting WSB in the past to submit news and the school had received a quickier response made us all wonder what was going on at WSB.
Glad you enjoyed your nap TR.

JanSParticipantLuckymom..you need to stop. Are you reading what people are saying. Do you seriously think that these people never sleep? That it’s not OK to have to wait a few hours before they are able to post things? They are a 24/7/365 site. That doesn’t mean they post everything as soon as you want it. That really does sound like you have a sense of entitlement, and that you really don’t appreciate what these people do. I wasn’t going to say anything, but…after reading your latest, wow, are you for real? I, too, would be interested in how long you waited until you posted your “rant” in the forum. If it was less than a day, your “rant” definitely isn’t warranted. You’re not gonna win this one, I’m afraid. Time to change the way you think.

PatrickKeymasterAnd this one has come to the end of the road.
