10/11/08 I Am Sorry For The Delay In Answering Emails And Reporting Some News Stories

About A Week And A Half Ago A Bunch Of Brown Spiders Invaded My House And My Family And I Sprayed A Bunch Of Spiders And Destroyed A Bunch Of Spider Egg Sacks Out Side The House.

Well Apparently One Of The Spiders Bit Me On My Blind Side Right On The Neck.

I Gout A Fever And Ached All Over.

Plus I Had A Nasty Swollen Bump That Latest A couple Of Days.

Well Last Weekend There Was A second Wave Of Spider Invasions Once Again.

Once Again Spiders And Egg Sack Were Destroyed And You Guessed I Got Bit On My Blind Side Again.

Last Monday And Tuesday I Had A Horrible Fever, But Recovered Enough To Go To My Church And Volunteer To Do My Coffee Service Before Going To A Weekly Bible Class.

The Next Day I Had To Go To Harrison And Document That CVS Has Done Some Work For One Of My Clients And The Spider Bump Opened Up And Looked Very Nasty I went To The Greenwich Hospital And They Told Me The Wound Was Infected.

I Received A Morphine Shot And Was Amazed At How I Instantly Felt A Sensation In The Base Of My Brain.

They Cut And Drained The Wound And Gave Me An IV Of Antibiotics.

I Was Given Some Dressings And Prescriptions For Antibiotics And Pain Pills.

Friday I Had The Wound Checked, But Things Did Not Improve Much, So I Was Given A Second Antibiotic IV And Another Prescription For A Different Antibiotic That Was To Be Taken With The Other Two Pills.

I Will Go For Another Wound Check On Sunday Afternoon.

So Today I am Catching Up With My Emails And Then I Saw An Email From A Greenwich Roundup Reader That Alerted Me To A Blog Post About Greenwich Time Managers And Owners.

The Link Is To A Post On The Greenwich Real Estate Blog Called For What Its Worth And It Reads.....

Shiver me timbers!

By happenstance I discovered that the Stamford Advocate now runs a real estate blog. I checked it out out of curiosity and at first it seemed like a real blog and even covered, as you'll see from the link, the price cutting going on over at Leona's place.....

Wait A minute, there is blog at the Stamford Advocate that does not fully disclose who is writing a blog on their web site?

How Can that Be ?????

It Looks Like Managing Editor Jim "I Not Real A Hypocrite" Zorba And Of The Rest Of Hearst Newspapers Criticise Anonymous Bloggers And Citizen Journalists While Hosting And Making Financial Deals With Anonymous Bloggers

10/07/08 Greenwich Time News Lnks Or Managing Editor Jim Zorba Tries To Go After Greenwich Bloggers

Our letter writers really put it on the lineBy Jim Zebora

Article Launched: 10/07/2008 08:34:58 AM EDT

With all due respect to bloggers, people who write to newspapers are just the best. Our letter writers show the courage to share their views with the world - whether opining about the financial bailout, the presidential election, downtown parking or Henrietta the turkey - and they do so with their identities known to all.

Comment To Jim Zorba:

With all do respect to editorial suits who are just now beginning to recognize the power of Bloggers and citizen journalists. Jim Zebora is being less than genuine in his editorial. Jim Zorba knows damn well who Greenwich Diva is and how Neil "I Won't Publish The Fake Beach Passes In My Desk Drawer" Vigdor screwed her over in the Greenwich Time.

Jim Zorba knows damn well knows who Greenwich Gossip is and how former Greenwich Time owner Bill Rowe placed a ban, that is still honored today, on any of his letters every appearing in the Greenwich Time.

Jim Zorba knows damn well who StationStops is and how his comments were removed from and he was locked out of Hearst Media message boards, because he complained that news websites had did a poor job of reporting on the mugging at the Riverside Walgreen's.

Jim Zorba knows everyone at Our Greenwich, because he was involved in firing most of them from the Greenwich Time newsroom.

Jim Zorba knows that For What It's Worth was fired because a bunch of real estate advertisers came into the Greenwich Post wanting him fired, because he said the Greenwich Real Estate market is going to hell in a hand basket. Jim Zorba would never consider hiring the best real estate columnist in Greenwich, because he is afraid he will have to meet with angry advertisers from Coldwell Banker.

Jim Zorba damn well knows who Greenwich Roundup is. We have had more than a few talks with Mr. Zorba.

Jim Zorba knows that as of January of this year the Greenwich Police Department had 80 Civilian Complaints in the previous 24 Months. That's about one complaint every 8 0r nine days.
Jim Zorba knows that more that 98% of the complaints are routinely found to be unfounded.
Jim Zorba knows that this were getting so bad that the so-called "GPD Internal Affairs Investigator" also known as, Captain Michael "The Judge Says I Was Illegally Appointed" Pacewicz was finding the cases unfounded without even bothering to talk to complainants or their witnesses.

Jim Zorba at first started to do the right thing and assigned a Greenwich Time Crime Reporter Martin Cassidy to investigate how civilian complaints are handled at the Greenwich Police Department, but cowered under his desk in fear when Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg went ballistic.

Jim Zorba sits on the Civilian Complaint Process investigation in much the same way that Joe Pisani sat on The Martha Moxley Investigation.

Jim Zorba Continues:

It's a more civilized way of making a statement than hiding behind a conjured-up screen name.

Writers to Greenwich Time tend to be pretty intelligent folks, too, and I learn something from them every day. It's especially heartening to see the informed, thoughtful give-and-take on this part of the editorial page.

Reasonable people can and do disagree, and in their letters to the editor they do so in what I believe is an extraordinarily civilized way.
