[Kzyxtalk] Steffen vs. Bosk - how resolve?

[she-la]

  I say if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. I don't believe in censorship by any group of any person for expressing an opinion.
 This is America, folks. 
  Beth expressed an opinion-David rebutted with his statement. End of story. Let's not blow everything up into a huge drama.
   I was falsely accused by W. Dan in the AVA of trying to blow up the station's computers with a vacuum cleaner.  I got a good laugh out of that distortion. I told the facts of the situation in the next issue. 
Let's give people credit for having the intelligence to sort out truth from fiction.  Most people have already picked out there allies in the fray over the radio station and its policies so let's try to keep the discussion civil and factual.
  I am tired of the power struggle. Let's find common ground to work through the problems we are encountering--lack of transparency in the decision making process and lack of true access of all points of view on our public air waves.

The unconscionable epithets she regularly includes in her angry and dishonest screeds, which often get forwarded by her fans, have no place in any discussion of KZYX or the individuals.
