It seems that Hal is no longer employed by the WDT and I for one miss his presence in the paper.

He has a personal blog here: http://xeditor.blogspot.com

It seems that some of the negative posters from the WDT forum had migrated to Hal's blog and started posting their opinions there.

I salute Hal on his decision to regulate the comments. This forum hasn't had that problem yet. Hopefully it will not.

Quoted from his blog:

New policy will regulate comments
No, I will not allow this blog to devolve into the new version of the Wilson Times now-canceled Forum. That venue was canceled for a reason: It had become nothing more than a gripe bulletin board for a handful of malcontents who liked nothing better than deriding their community and all who occupy it. I had nothing to do with the decision to cancel the Forum, but I believe it was the right decision.
I won't let this blog descend to that gutter. Apparently some refugees from the Forum had migrated to this blog and were continuing their negative, hateful remarks here. I won't allow it. Therefore, I have changed the settings regulating comments. You can still make comments anonymously, but all comments will be vetted through me before posting. Therefore, you can write all the personal attacks and insults you want — they just won't be posted on this site.

I do welcome and encourage anyone who wants to comment on the topics I raise.
