I agree with the comments

I agree with the comments removal from some sites because most of them are spam, but there are comments in which people wrote what is blair rewards and I didn't manage to read them so I'd like to still have them on sites to which I am a member.

First of all thanks a lot for

First of all thanks a lot for the informative post indeed. I have to admit that I have not known that the Maui News has reported that they will no longer allow comments to be posted on its Website “due to flagrant abuse of the privilege. Very interesting and strange fact indeed. I am glad that now everything is great with commenting system in your website. I always follow all your news in your web so it is really great that I can express my own opinion about various subject. Thanks a lot one more time for sharing this news and I will be waiting for other great entries from you in the future. Regards, Ben Watton from web application development

Maui & Molokai Travel Guide. Richard Sullivan Comments!

I have visited "Maui" for a minimum of 2 weeks a year for the past 4 years. I came across a travel guide written by Richard Sullivan and friends 3 years ago. It's in my opinion a great friend to Molokai, it's simple with great photo's and well written information. After visiting his "web site" he sent out an alert in an article that Molokai's Aloha spirit was dropping after he and some friends waited over a half an hour for service in an "empty" famous island pastry shop on the island. He then said that people will have to reconsider coming to the island if there not welcomed there. Wow! this is from the guy who writes a travel guide! Heads up! People who spend thousands of dollars on travel trips do there research these days and will gladly find other places to spend there hard earned money if they don't feel welcomed! KP2 should become the ambassador of Molokai!

intrested joke

Omaha Long Distance Long Distance Movers is a full service moving company that offers long distance household moving services & interstate moving services in Omaha Long DistanceOmaha Long Distance Movers

This is a joke

The reason molokaitmes.com got so ugly is because Molokai has become ugly. I've visited the island for years. Your island is nothing without Aloha and I no longer visit Molokai because I'm white and clearly not welcome on the island. Regarding the comments it's pretty clear the molokai dispatch just wanted to see molokaitimes.com go away and it looks like they got their wish. Good job Dispatch. So Mr. Editor in Chief, how is my username "whitedude" any less anonymous than the molokai times comment system?

No Joke

Dear whitedude, you are right. Your username and identity are just as anonymous here as they are at the Times and Maui News comment systems - but that's not the point. The problem is the abuse. When the comment section is used as a place to beef and spew hate, then it's just not working.

 What do small communities like Molokai need? Like you said yourself, more aloha. We need positive thinking, ideas, and solutions. As owner and editor of the Molokai Dispatch, it is my focus to cultivate this kind of discussion for our community.

 Mahalo for your comment,

Todd Yamashita - Editor in Chief

Comment Removal

If the Maui News comment section wasn't being overloaded by abuse, they would have kept service alive.

So far we haven't experienced really bad abuse on  our site, so we'll be keeping things the way they are.

the Times is kept the way it was?

how come i cannot sign in then? is this the same for anybody?

properly registered forum posters will be more responsible.

i asked myself the question why things got ugly over in the other paper, and i can only summize that even though we retain anonymity, we can only post under the regitered forum name here while in the "times" nobody had to put a forum name to their posts. this was confusing to say the least. i signed myself as "harmony" over there so that others recognize me as having a certain motive in my dialog. i often wish that there would be some lively input of opinions and suggestions here as well.
on the maui news i contributed frequently, but i am glad that the forums are gone. i am not only dissapointed that such nastiness exists among us in paradise, but i am also embarrassed that the whole world can read this stuff, much of that jibberish was posted by poorly raised teenagers. if, in the name of the 1. amendment, we abuse this free speech by making others feel awful, then we need someone to put a stop to these voices from hell.
