Welcome to This Blog. Founded in a time or turmoil and apprehension in the United States, this site is focussed on people and things happening in the Fox Valley communities in and around Kane County, Illinois. This is not to say that contributors might not talk about National politics, but probably limited to how it applies to citizens, residents and visitors to this area.
This Blog is privately owned and operated and as such, we may exercise full editorial control. The management of this site intends for the site to have a decided left bent. Opposing opinions risk deletion if they go too far, in the sole judgment of site management. MAGA talking points and what we consider to be crazy conspiracy theories will be deleted unless we leave them up to be ridiculed. Freedom of Speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution promises that the government will not impede most of what you speak or write. But this is a privately operated blog, and not attached to the government, so we will exercise our right to prohibit what we find to be harmful, hateful or inappropriate for this site or the community. This sounds pretty heavy-handed, but just want to get that out there up-front. We walk a wobbly line between Liberal and Progressive. If you are riding to the right of us, you are welcome to stay on and read. But if you post, watch out.
Yes, you are welcome here. Just keep it between the lines, and you’ll be fine. Think of the previous paragraph as guardrails and nobody wants to hit the guardrails. I’d prefer we keep the language at the PG level or below, but when it has purpose, sometimes somebody might exceed that, and if it is limited and reasonable, it probably will remain.
Site administrators might not agree with everything contributed here and we take no responsibility for hurt feelings! If we believe something posted is flat-out untrue, we will delete it. Anyone may log on as a visitor and read what is here. to that extent, be aware that what you post is not private, but for the most part I hope we are among friends.
