What really annoys me are the articles I read comparing the public library (negatively) to Barnes & Noble. Hello? We could buy comfy chairs too if we SOLD our books!

I haven’t even finished your article, but was compelled to write that this is the most sensible thing I have read about libraries in the longest time. There IS NO profit model. There IS NO incentive/disincentive re: profit model. Libraries close because of economic crises. You’re right, and everyone else is wrong. I feel validated that my job is somewhat ridiculous. Thank you, and I mean that sincerely because I have often felt that way and was made to feel like I was doing something wrong. I am right, you are right… and everyone else has their collective head up the ass.

So anybody who’s against freedom to kill children has no right to be a librarian?

This is totally ridiculous. A)Hatred is hatred. You’re homophobic if you think people shouldn’t be allowed to be themselves in front of closed doors. B) We shouldn’t even be talking about this, as this is supposed to be a discussion about library models C) AL clearly had nothing of note to say other than to be defensive about where she/he’s been for four days D) Anyone on this board that is against freedoms of any kind has no right to be a librarian.

The last post attributed to me was by an impostor. I wonder when LJ is going to see if they can get beer ads for this blog? A first, admitted, but the way things are headed here……

This is getting ridiculous. The previous post was also not made by me. If this situation isn’t resolved soon, I’ll take my thoughts elsewhere.

Both the Plagarized post AND the rebunking posts were mad eby imposters.

Cynic, I agree with you. There’s no less then three Mr. Kat imposters at this moment, combined with a number of imposters who are no doubt puppetmastered by the same individuals. They have added great length to this blog by simply having us argue agains tourselves. It’s amusing and then bemusing at times.

It appears as though my imposter is incapable of original thoughts. He/she sounds like a good candidate for a public library director position.
