a self-righteous blow-hard like bb has to say. She doesn’t know me yet
she casually throws insults around, and the administrator of this list doesn’t
admonish her or remove her from the list. 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. And the lack of any response to the trash-talk from Liz—who
the email below was directed to—the lack of any comment from Liz is sad. Those
people who encourage bb by their words or their silence should think about the
hate-speech she spews.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

KZ's"? Are you kidding?<br>
Why are you cowering, Liz?<br>
Why aren't you exerting some seniority? <br>
There is no bottom line here. No means to designate contributions. No oversight
of any money spent. The last splurge went not into a proficient, competent news
department as promised, but into staff salaries so fractured in the paperwork
no member or programer knows who is making what. <br>
Steffen is a pig. Coate is paranoid. Mary is an alcoholic. The president
of the KZYX Board of Directors lives off of monies made manufacturing gadgets
for nuclear reactor plants. And she represents the so-called 5th District on
the Board. <br>
Kisslinger never learned how to edit a phone interview, so he doesn't do any.
He reads the Press Democrat over the air and gets paid for that. The less skill
you have, the more money you get at KZYX. <br>
Shit happens and it is time the programmers stepped in and cleaned up the shop.
There are a hundred of you. Most of the local programming is excellent. Why
aren't you stepping in to stop the bleeding of membership monies. 400 + <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Mendocino</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> locals, many if not most of them
have transferred their pledge dollars to KMUD. (Could one reason be: the
physician who hosts the medical show admits he doesn't know how to pronounce
'Cannabinoids' and proceeds to dis cannabis farmers the few times the subject
comes up on his show--reflecting the staff's prejudices. <br>
It is very much the time for local programmers to resist the direction of this
staff. When is enough, enough for you as a programmer to intervene.
If you can't organize--unionize even--then start talking about showing up
enmass at the next Board Meeting to air your trepidations. You are not
listening to enough Sweet Honey on the Rock. --beth bosk<br>

our community needs to keep the KZYX signal on air despite our differences. It
is essential to support the pledge drive, i.e tune in, subscribe, re-up
membership, kick down challenges, urge our friends to do likewise, etc. Stay
connected, keep talking to each other. Courteous discourse is the key. Patience
is grace. <br>
