Mr. David Blomquist (NJ.com)
Mr. Richard Bilotti (Publisher -
Times of Trenton)
Gentleman,
I've become quite disenfranchised with the administration of NJ.com
after having been a strong advocate for the entire web site for many
years. My reasons of extreme dissatisfaction revolve around the obvious
censorship being perpetuated and allowed on the Trenton forum of NJ.com.
At first I thought it was due to readers submitting 'Inappropriate Post'
complaints, but now I strongly believe NJ.com to be an active participant
in this action. I'll explain my reasons for these suspicions in detail
within this email.
My plight began in earnest on September 4, 2007 when many of my posts
began to get deleted for no apparent reason. Most of these posts simply
provided links to a web site that is critical of a captain of the Trenton
police department. (captsleepy.com) While I understand the web site
itself might embarrass the people it is written about, the content appears
to be truthful in nature and gives readers insight into TPD affairs
and antics they might not be aware of.
Here's an example of one of the posts that was deleted over and over
and reposted over and over.

OK girls
by sportyjoe2, 9/5/07 13:19 ET
Lets try this again. I know you'll delete it, but I can continue posting
it like you can continue deleting it.
www.captsleepy.com/irv.htm
www.captsleepy.com/sick_time.htm
From that day on my posts
--and posts by other posters-- started getting deleted at a frantic
pace and this action appeared to reach a climax on September 5 with
an all out deletion campaign being waged by unknown sources.
As an added bonus, my IP address and screen name(s) were suspended,
which prevented me from posting from my usual places, but fear not because
Sportyjoe has many resources at his disposal and the posting continued.
On Thursday September 6, I posted several posts at approximately 1:30am
and noticed at approximately 6:30am they were deleted. These posts contained
personal opinion on the affairs of elected and appointed officials of
Trenton and were meant to bring spirited debate to the forum (The kind
that NJ.com hopes for, according to their own propaganda.), but instead
it brought censorship.

Can you believe this?
by sportyjoe, 9/6/07 1:21 ET
How can a high school not have the students schedules ready?
I know, I know. It's not dawg's fault or anyone he appointed or hired
either. It has to be some malcontent union official behind this latest
debacle.

Good try dawg
by sportyjoe, 9/6/07 1:37 ET
Seems dawg had his little minions from city hall try to spread some
baseless dirt about Det Luis Reyes right before the city council meeting
tonight in an attempt to deflect attention from the incompetent police
director.
It just goes to show what classless group of people these scumbags are
in city hall.
Maybe they can peddle their BS to la palmer and watch him climb onto
his soapbox and pontificate about more injustices to dark skinned folk
who got a bad shake.
You're a pathetic lot.
After
this complete abuse of the system by unknown forces I decided to post
links and email addresses of persons to contact at NJ.com and the Trenton
Times in an attempt to have this situation look into.
5420.
Contact NJ.com
by sportyjoe, 9/6/07 7:33 ET
Everyone that reads this needs to contact NJ.com and complain about
the immature behavior of the GUZZLER'S.
They've become scared that the truth has been showing their incompetence
and corruption and can only respond by DELETING the truth.
Go to this link http://www.nj.com/contactus/
and inform Dave Blomquist he needs to look into this and put an end
to it.
The more complaints he gets the better chance we have of ending the
GUZZLER'S rein.
Also email Times publisher Richard Bilotti at rbilotti@njtimes.com Lets
make him aware of this too.
This post was posted in about five locations on the forum (In violation
of TOS), but the intent was to give readers an opportunity to copy the
link and email address before they were deleted in rapid form like all
my other posts. As a result NJ.com removed the posts within minutes
and deleted the screen name 'sportyjoe'
I was able to get this posted before my screen name was deleted..
5421.
captsleepy.com
by sportyjoe, 9/6/07 7:41 ET
Because this keeps getting deleted too.
www.captsleepy.com/irv.htm
www.captsleepy.com/sick_time.htm
I then contacted NJ.com and received an email directing me to the "Community
rules'.
Later on in the day I then registered a new screen name --sportyjoe3--
and posted the following posts.
5422.
I must be nice
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 13:34 ET
Seems the forum police is very upset with me and I must be nice.
Therefore I will refer to all the corrupt politicians and their convicted
appointees by their god given names.
Like convicted felon Irving Bradley.
And convicted assaulter Joseph Santiago.
These two men are fine examples of citizenry and the children of urban
areas should look up to them.
I really think they are doing a great job in Trenton as crime has been
reduced to its lowest levels.
How was that forum police, did I do well?
Boy, this niceness is just wonderful. I think I'll try it some more.
<wink-wink>
5422.2.1. Why thank you
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 14:02 ET
Re: I must be nice by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07
Thanks for your acknowledgement sir. I truly appreciate that.
While I fully understand and realize the errors of my way, <wink-wink>
I hope I can continue to be as informative while being sweet as honey.
5423. Did you hear?
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 13:41 ET
Some fine upstanding staffer of the Honorable Douglas H Palmer administration
is trying to sully the name of recently transferred Detective Luis Reyes.
I appears this wonderful subordinate of Honorable Douglas H Palmer decide
to reach out to certain individuals and discredit Detective Reyes in
an effort to mute tonight's expected crowd of supporters.
While I think it's a shame what this subordinate is doing, I agree with
whatever the Honorable Douglas H Palmer decides to do because he is
the greatest thing since sliced bread. <wink-wink>
5424. Can you believe it?
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 13:57 ET
Today's newspapers report that TCHS had a minor snafu with it's scheduling.
It seems all the high schooler's are without schedules because of something
out of the control of the Honorable Douglas H Palmer's wonderful schools
superintendent Rodney Lofton.
I certainly can understand how such a major blunder can occur, especially
with all the malcontent union members the Honorable Douglas H Palmer
has to deal with.
It's ok Mr. Palmer, we all understand how these minor errors can occur
and we certainly don't hold you or your wonderful appointees accountable.
(I hope the forum police like this. They are such wonderful people you
know. And even all the great officers that support the brilliant police
director. I love you all.)
Ladies and gentleman, here's a link to today's article in the Times
reporting on this small little scheduling error that I just discussed.
http://www.nj.com/news/times/index.ssf?/base/news-3/1189051808215810.xml&coll=5
(The forum police ask nicely that I, "please provide a brief explanation
of where the link goes as a courtesy to other users.")

Links of interest
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 14:18 ET
Dear fellow posters. Here are two links I'm providing to you as a public
service.
The first one discusses the appearance of the exuberant Captain Paul
D Messina Sr. at a downtown restaurant while he was off sick due to
a horrendous accident he was involved in while operating a unmarked
Trenton police car. Thankfully the good Captain didn't suffer any life
threatening injuries and I'm happy to report that he wasn't at fault.
As a matter of fact, the Captain should receive an accolade as he had
pulled off to the side of the road to peruse his company Blackberry.
Good job Captain. You're my inspiration and wind beneath my wings.www.captsleepy.com/sick_time.htm
This second link takes you to a page on that wild and wacky web site
also, and discusses in depth the wonderful career of Chief Irving Bradley.
For those of you who don't remember, Chief Bradley was involved in a
minor incident in Rahway in which he, well.. you know, had a couple
too many beverages. Chief Bradley decided to be a good citizen and pulled
off to the side of the road when the disgruntled Rahway police officers
came by and discovered him. Chief Bradley then made the simple mistake
of driving away and went home, only to be harassed by those awful policemen.
Well, I don't want to give it all away, take a look if you feel you
can handle it. If not please don't click on the link because I certainly
don't want to offend anyone here. Especially all my pals who joined
the wonderful FOP. I love you guys. www.captsleepy.com/irv.htm
5426.
I love this
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 14:22 ET
I didn't realize how fun it would be posting in such a positive manner.
I can't wait to do more. I just hope those wonderful folks at NJ.com
and all those great supporters of Director Santiago and Honorable Douglas
H Palmer don't decide to delete all my hard work. But if they do I understand
and accept it, after all, it's me who's wrong, not them. <wink-wink>
5418.1.1.1.
Sick
by sportyjoe3, 9/6/07 14:31 ET
Re: Speey's Accident - A question by NJwatchdog, 9/6/07
The poor soul was out sick, leave him be. He's had it very rough that
last six months, you are all piling on him.
Stop, please.
Apparently
these were deemed 'inappropriate' too because they were deleted and
that screen name was deleted also.
So after another round of emails to the "contact us' feature of
NJ.com and Mr. Bilotti --with no response, thank you-- I retreated and
took a deep breath. While I had not posted for the remainder of the
day I did notice the deletions continued regarding anyone asking about
Sportyjoe or people inquiring about deleted posts. I still believed
this to be the actions of a few within the Palmer and Santiago camp,
but I was now beginning to grow suspicious on the involvement of NJ.com
because of the quickness and persistence in the deletions.
Well today my suspicions were proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, at
least in my mind, when I discovered my other screen name --sportyjoe2--
was also deleted. This occurred sometime after posting the following
message on Friday September 7, 2007:
5441.
Hi everyone.
by sportyjoe2, 9/7/07 19:04 ET
Just wanted to say hi and give praise to the Honorable Mayor Palmer
and his great appointees.
Police Director Santiago is doing a great job in reducing crime, schools
Superintendent Rodney Lofton has done a tremendous job in bringing back
respectability to the schools and I'm certain Irving Bradley will bring
a sense of professionalism to the communications center.
Trenton has risen from the basement and the sky's the limit for their
greatness.
Great job guys. I love you. <wink-wink>
This message does not violate any TOS or community rules, and is harmless
in nature and content and was posted with one purpose in mind; to see
what type of response would be generated from the 'forum police'.
I got my answer loud and clear. While the post remains as of 2:00pm
on 9/8/2007, the screen name has been deleted.
This action now confirms my fears that NJ.com is actively involved
in the censorship of speech on it's forums, and makes me seriously believe
the injection of corrupt politics has invaded the offices of NJ.com?
I'm sending this to the Web Master at captsleepy.com in the hopes it
is published on that site for all to see.
To people involved in these incomprehensible actions, you should be
ashamed and embarrassed because you are not mature adults, but merely
pawns of egomaniacs that are afraid to have the truth told or to answer
for their actions. In case you aren't sure whom I'm referring to, it's
the Palmer and Santiago cronies and all the responsible parties at NJ.com,
that's who!

Plan of Action?
by footpost, 9/8/07 13:01 ET
Did anyone hear that the East District Sgt. has one week to come up
with a plan of action to solve the Gang Problem on Locust St. Of course
this order was implemented from the great Capt Sleepy. Well Sleepy,
you have to big one of the most incompetent leaders I have ever seen.
For a year in a half, you have spent a great deal of money to have officer's
sitting on the 100 block of Walnut Ave, baby sitting so called adults.
Everybody told you that you are not solving the problem, you were just
pushing the criminal element around the block to Locust St. Well genius
now your making a Sgt to come up with an action plan to solve the problem.
I say screw you, why don't you come up with the plan you created the
problem loser.

Re: Plan of Action? by footpost, 9/8/07
How can you expect Capt. Scum Bag to come up with a plan when he knows
nothing about police work or sloving any kind of problem. If you want
to know how to be a loud mouth snake or a fat suck up then you would
go to him. This so called supervisor has always been a mess and a cry
baby and now he is just pushing his fat azz around and doing nothing
but destorying a once great police department. Keep up the good work
Capt. Scum Bag you will have your day.
5450.1.1.
A good Captain
by Ozzi, 9/8/07 13:22 ET
Re: Plan of Action? by footpost, 9/8/07
would sit down with his men, Sgts. and Lts. and calmly hash this problem
out. End result would be the men and women on the street, the Sgts.
and Lts. would all push themselves for the Captain because the Captain
was calm, open and sought the knowledge of his Officers. Am I right
in this nobikeray? I'd bet my pension check I am.

He's already.....
by EDDIE353, 9/8/07 13:54 ET
Re: Plan of Action? by footpost, 9/8/07
He's is already having his day,he is one of the least respested policeman
in the history of the T.P.D. At least he dosen't represent the S.O.A.or
the P.B.A.anymore to embarass those quality unions.He has no people
skills,he lacks job knowledge,his emotions rule his decisions,and he
tries to command with unfair rules and penaltys.Can anyone give us any
good traits about the man,other then he eats everthing on his plate.

its embarrassing

Re: Plan of Action? by footpost, 9/8/07
Capt sleepy is in charge any other time,so what's his plan? He's getting
the big bucks,he's the Directors number 1 man so where are his ideas?Maybe
he has failed the Director again,but that's O.K.they can have dinner
together next week and see who they will screw.It's all a joke the guy's
that should be in charge are on midnights and out of the way. Maybe
messina can put some of his office boy's on the road, and give the street
cops a hand cleaning up the corners.Maybe the street cops need a leader
who can show them how to clean up the streets,and gain the street cops
respect,(that leaves messina out).Maybe messina will do nothing but
scream and yell and transfer one of the Sgt's due to his own incompetence.
