I guess I've hit a nerve with the posting of Ardie's Party. Not everyone is ecstatic with being included, so here is a censored version of the photo collage. Seems like former Morning Call editors are trying to edit my blog also. Well, pooh pooh on you. Unfortunately, I no longer take orders from anyone.

Unless I'm badly mistaken, I remember the Call running photos of mourners at funerals against their wishes and without their permission. That didn't stop editors from sending us out to shoot them (against our better judgment), and it certainly didn't stop them from running the pictures on the front page for all in the Valley to see. What is the difference between that and running a photo of The Morning Call's funeral?

Readers are more than welcome to comment publicly on anything they read here and open up a dialogue about what's fair and what's not. That works much better than sending negative e-mails. Let everyone have a voice, as it were. Try it; you might just like it.
