Honestly, I am stunned that Mayor Forman agreed to have the meetings taped and aired just because of how critical she was to Mullica News when they linked up a posting (FOUND HERE) on her becoming mayor from Keep Mullica Green and Mullica News put their one sentence “take” on her becoming mayor and how they felt most people would agree with Graebener and St. Amour and vote “no” to Forman as mayor. After posting anonymously, attacking the site for having an opinion, she then posted a private comment, which Mullica News published. She attacked them again for having an OPINION (which everyone is entitled to, even if you don’t agree with it). She then went one step further and stated how the editor didn’t respond to her and then criticized their journalism as not being good because of “namecalling (sic), rumor and misinformation”. Nowhere did I see Mullica News calling her a name. They stated an OPINION, which was completely on the mark according to their poll, which can be found in the “Polls Archive” dated January 13, 2009. 74 people voted; of those 74, only 9 people were “happy” about Ms. Forman being named mayor. 65 people (88% of the votes) expressed that they weren’t happy.
Surprisingly, Mayor Forman heaped praise on the host of the Mullica News site, calling it a great source of information. It makes me wonder what kind of deal she worked with Mullica News on their “opinions” from here on out. Only time will tell…

I tried to thank Mullica News twice in two days and my anonymous comment was not posted. Either they have a problem with their site or they are only posting signed comments.
I just wanted to thank them for the great service they are doing for our community.
I would like to thank the Gadfly for telling us about Mullica News.
I enjoyed reading the comments posted there about the KMG article.
I could definitely pick out the split personality posts we so often see on the AC Press.
Does this person really think that she is so unrecognizable? The only person she is fooling is herself.
Anyone can record township meetings legally and without permission as long as its not disruptive so the mayor had no real say in it. It was better for her to put on the happy face, grin and bear it. Larry Angel took photos of award ceremonies at committee meetings to post on Gadfly and he didn't ask for anyone's OK (not even the mayor's).
That was one hot poll!!
It looks like a pretty good site and I love the idea of the meetings on the internet.
I was able to go back a couple of minutes to listen to a few statements again.
They have some real good opinions being posted and I hope they will still let the people speak freely.
I don't think Forman can refuse to allow them to tape no matter what she thinks about them.
It's a public meeting that the people have a right to see and hear.
I, like Janet Forman, was also shocked and dismayed by Mullica News polling results. However, my question is, who are these 9 people that are happy that she is Mayor?
This is funny!
Mullica News has a commercial for the new Fox show "Lie to me" right under the picture of our committee people.
We can just tell everyone to watch the meetings there and then come here to comment on them. People don't want to leave their names because they might be added to the thick vendetta files that multiple people carry around.
Talking about comments,go read the 1/31/09 article on the AC Press "Ex-Egg Harbor Twp.Resident Sues Over Officer Entering Home"
The comments on this article show alot about Egg Harbor Twp's problems.
The posters from that town are showing no mercy. It makes the Gadfly and Mullica look tame.
I'm sure all of N.J.Officials would love to shut down the Press comments but they believe in the freedom of speech.
It would be very sad if one of our own local sites refused to give an anonymous voice to the people of Mullica because of political pressure from a corrupt official.

The psychopathic trolls of the web sites that hit the Ac Press all the time. They all use terrible English, punctuation and spell incorrectly. They are so close that you would swear they're one person.
