So Alec .... Where did you hear that new claim? Next he will be blamed because WMD just hired the CFO that left Iowa city so our CFO could take his job. Sounds like Ankeny.... We just recycle the same people. The great plan is to take all of wendts hires and move them up... He must have done a good job hiring or the board can't bring in any new blood?????

I'm not sure the best way to say this so I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm very, very disappointed in some of the comments left on this article tonight. To those of you who made the comments, you know who you are and please note — I WILL NOT allow those kinds of comments on this site. Period.
I do, however, allow a lot of freedom on this site to our commenters. I want to encourage conversation here, I want to give you a place to voice your concerns and opinions, but not at the expense of your neighbors, not at the expense of people like you and people like me. I trust you all to adhere to this. All I ask is you please not abuse that trust. Be nice. If it's something you wouldn't say to someone's face, do not say it here. In fact, let's just not say it all. Just because you hide behind an alias or do not provide your full name does not give you the freedom to say whatever it is you feel.
To those who do and always have adhered to this, I thank you. To those of you on the fence or unclear about any part of this, I invite you to review our terms of use: http://ankeny.patch.com/terms.

Thank you, Megan. Not an easy job you do, in monitoring this site, while trying to keep it civil and clean. I'm just glad I found patch, after the dsm register stopped similar blogs. Although, I think one replaced the other. Doesn't matter, but hiding behind an alias here can be very valuable, and I thank you for continuing to allow some of us to do so, after your last attempt to reign us in. Privacy should still matter these days. How we use it on here, in wanting the best for like "our kids", has gone backwards as you see.

Just for the record, I am the nicest person on this blog. I was aghast to read some of those other folks. :-). If you want freedom of speech you will get those who use ananimity to spread slander.... This makes it alllll to easy.
