As a longtime YOUR LETTERS contributor myself and admirer of Steve Hunt's widely acclaimed Victorville, Ca Daily Press, my first attention with breakfast, Dec 6 felt compelled to respond 'cause I myself am fullovit: One fella under 'The issues' thanks you for 'decision to no longer publish LTE's that 'attack another writer,' with which I agree most wholeheartedly. However, he goes on to opine, '…but just don't mention the prior letter,' with which I disagree, as I'm doing now [though I'm still not sure whether it's okay to identify by title]. F'rinstance, 'Political perspective' equates 'Communism with 'Democrats... and the Mainstream media,' absolutely hilarious. Thanks, Apple Valley 'trib'r !!
Under 'Letters to the Editor, another Apple Valley'r says, certain 'letters on Opinion page by…are the only ones I enjoy reading.' Yet gosh, he ID's 'em by the guy's name, but isn't that now forbidden? ['One line, to the point…,' suggesting some of us make 'em too long. Steve, that's why I abbr a whole lot and use funny punct.]...
…while…
'Governor's race 2018' insults Villaraigosa and the entire Latino community by asserting that supporter 'La Raza…sounds like a certain dictator in World War II…' Finally, 'Public Service volunteer' as 'the last remaining Republican in California,' subtly dismisses Democrats, immigrants, and 'welfare recipients in the grocery stores' by suggesting they be assigned to '...clean the desert of tires, mattresses, oil cans and human bodies…' Wow, keep it up, guys !!
