Subject: New Message Board

    Due to problems we were having with some of the messages that were being posted I felt that this forum needed to be moderated. Now, when posting a message it will not be visible on the board until approved by a moderator.   I know that this can be an inconvenience but it has become necessary.  I don't mind "heated" discussion, constructive criticism, and suggestions but I had asked that the personal attacks and unfounded rumors to stop.  Not two days after making this request a message was anonymously posted implying criminal activity by certain individuals without offering a shred of proof other than an active imagination.  When something is published in a newspaper, all information must be researched and verified before it is printed to ensure that innocent people and their families are not being accused and hurt by false rumors. Unfortunately some feel that when publishing on the internet that the rules don't apply.  If they don't like someone or have a different opinion they throw ethics out the window and launch personal attacks based on theory and not fact.

    Unlike Tabloid newspapers that twist and bend facts for the sake of sensationalism. (then pay out millions to settle slander law suites)  The Dracut Info website was created to help bring the community together by providing an online resource for neighbors to interact and share information.  I realize that we have our problems but if we want Dracut to be a great place to like let's show some class when dealing with our problems and leave the mud slinging for Washington :)




Truth will only hurt the guilty
but a rumor can hurt anyone.
Before you say something
make sure you have the facts.  

Thanks,

Jerry Paquette
