I spoke to her, she has asked that I send her copies of the old postings from Todddavid and others for futher evaluation. I had printed them out but honestly forget where I filed them...I will find them this weekend and send them over to here.
If anyone has any of the old postings please get in touch with me.
She didn't reply directly, but had Betz do it for her. He gave me yet another canned response (see below). Very sad that they will not 'own up' to their problems, and basically state that once the post is gone, they have no record of it, so if it was removed wrongly, oh well.
Thanks for writing in with your concerns about NJ.com's Rockaway Forum.
Barbara Chodos forwarded your message to me for a response.
NJ.com's forums are open to everyone. Lively debate and opposing opinions are welcome, but we ask people to please behave courteously and responsibly.
We don't maintain post-by-post records of messages in NJ.com's forums that are removed, so we're unable to address why a specific post might have been removed . You can find guidelines for what we consider to be appropriate behavior at
There are a number of reasons why a legitimate post might have been deleted from our forums. When we delete an inappropriate post, any posts that were made in reply to the offending post are also removed; it's simply the way that our forums work. Occasionally, when we remove an inappropriate post, we also remove all posts made under that nickname, whether the individual posts are appropriate or not.
I believe that I have e-mailed my telephone number to you several times.
You're welcome to call to discuss this issue further.
I just checked my email - I received a reply from Barbara on Friday that she was in receipt of my forum file. Just cut and dry, not sure if anything will happen. But I have copied and pasted much of the forum since November.
