Tuluwat gets called out by a reader from across the country on their ad hominem attacks, thank you Mr. Sells

Tuluwat has not been getting many comments lately except for the regular haters. Looks like their attacks have affected their readership. Their last post on Tommy McClain got not one comment.

While I loathe to drive traffic to their site, here is a comment from someone I don't know. What Mr. Sells said about the service my blog provides has been conveyed to me by readers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, and other states.

Mr. Sells, as someone not from here, I thank you for reading our all our media sources and hopefully the Tuluwat will not delete your comment. If they can dish it out, they should be able to handle the same.

Speaking of calling out reporting, I did not see Tuluwat call out the lack of source credit in the TS article on the Jason Warren case in which they mention a letter that was only given to me by by the family member of a victim. I only point that because Tuluwat has been selective in whose reporting they go after. It has nothing to do with how I feel about the TS.

It didn't take long for the regular anonymous bitter haters to attack Mr. Sells and others who point the inconvenient truth. Deny, attack, and deflect, so predictable.

This comment by Mr. Sells is on their latest post.

C’mon, you guys aren’t even trying anymore. At least in the past you would attempt to pass off your impotent rants as some kind of analysis with a picture that tried to confuse the reader that you were making a point that was part of some larger vision. Now this feeble comparison…
Also, it’s hilarious that you tried to smear John Chiv, a man who, as far as I can tell, actually provides an important service by reporting on the local court system. I certainly read him from the other side of the country What’s more, JC actually does it under his OWN NAME, because he has some integrity. And then people can hold him accountable for what he writes, if they choose. Not that the Tuluwat’s writer(s) are capable of engaging in an intelligent critique of anything. You could at least garner a shred of respect for this terrible blog if you added a name, though.
It’s one of the great ironies of the Tuluwat that every one of its posts involves an ad hominem attack, and then feebly tries to link this to one of its favorite issues. Yet the posters of this blog would never think of standing by what they write with their own names. That would mean they would have to defend their views, you know, like people who contribute to public discourse actually do.
As long as you stay anonymous, you all are just spewing verbal diarrhea which no one would (or should) ever take seriously.

More comments calling out Tuluwat. You should read the entire comment thread. Once again, TE's traffic gets bump from hate and when they attack certain people. Mr. Sells second comment about TE being linked on LOCO is what a lot of people feel, Sells just said it. 

Anti-police, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, anti-moderate, anti-public information. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out who some of the players are. Who is really behind the Tuluwat Examiner and who is helping them stay in the public eye?

  Mola42, I think Don Sells called your sorry ass out and I think it’s hilarious. He said what I have thought all along, you are a blow hard, self consumed with a strange idea that your opinion matters to more than a handful of like minded minions.

  No, I don’t take you seriously. But I take the state of public discourse in Humboldt seriously, because I grew up there, and I personally loathe sites like this because they are breeding grounds for ignorance and incivility. And Humboldt, to be frank, has too much of that already. I’m allowed to care about this.

  That analogy is a completely incoherent. But if I look for your point – I’ve graded my share of badly written essays, so I know how to supply the sense that the writer can’t – you don’t want to put your name to what you write because…somehow you think you will be victimized? Is your landlord one of the people you said very nasty things about? Is he Donald Trump? Anyway, that list can’t be very many people: this blog tends to go on and on about the same people we are supposed to think are evil, without offering much evidence: the chief of the EPD, a cop who shot a drunk, erratic man with a pellet gun at night, Arkley…a guy with a bumper sticker that says “Obama Must go”. I suppose anyone else you disagree with.

  And YES, your ideas aren’t worth hearing because you aren’t willing to make the basic concession of publicly standing by them. How is this so hard to understand? The point is that other people can also be targeted by revealing their names publicly, OR, which I think is more relevant here, when someone else names them publicly and says all kinds of horrible things about them (which may or may not be true) even. Yes, believe it – the people you constantly accuse of corruption, murder, racism…these people can also be targeted and harassed.

  You think some crazy idiot couldn’t possibly go after this cop you keep accusing of murder. Isn’t that what the courts are for, to decide issues of justice when all the facts have been examined? But please, tell us all how everyone you criticize has Trump money to punish you, the poor, vulnerable one with no rights. Is Mills going to force your landlord to evict you, because you’ve said hilariously over the top things about him? He seems more like a cartoon villain than a police chief, when I read your rants.

  Anyway, you aren’t living in Feudal England, so please stop pretending like your victims have any interest in retaliating against you. I doubt many people besides your dozen or acolytes even know this blog exists.

  But let me say I completely understand why you would expect some retaliation. Given how unfair, vicious, and slanderous your posts are, how could you not think you would get some comeuppance? A good solution, I think, would be to stop doing what your doing. And maybe go to grad school, for journalism, to be frank, where you could learn about ethics in journalism. (I know, I know, what you are doing isn’t journalism…).

  Your excuse for hiding in anonymity is cowardly. And the editors of LOCO (Honestly, what are you thinking?) actually reduce the integrity of their site by linking to it, as long as they continue to pretend like it’s a source like Kemp, North Coast Journal, etc.

  Self-righteous non-issue is a better description of you and this blog.
