As many of you have noticed I took a very long break from writing. After my site crashing several times due to my hosting provider, some personal issues for my grandkids and several deaths in the family I had someone who was supposed to take over but they never got around to it so it appears that I've been drug back into the ring... The one thing that has been a constant is Willie Russell's constant harassment. Today he called me with a private number again, which I don't answer ever and now he's flipping out over a 2018 posting where he was claiming to work for this paper. He said I need to take that post down, offer a retraction and that he never claimed to have worked for us, and that he's sick of that post being used against him to show what a liar he is (his words not mine!) I will not offer a retraction, nor will I remove the post. He clearly stated he worked for this newspaper. He does not, never did, and never will. At no point have I ever made money from this paper, and I barely make enough to keep it running so in the future I may have guest writers and I may have to monetize this paper after all but I still wouldn't be able to hire anyone to work for me. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
