And then posts on 3-21-16 yet another comment on Article 2 detailing his “100%” agreement with the comments made by Mr. Shipp in today’s Citizen, including the entire Citizens story in its entirety and them permits a person to comment:

“Jerry has done a fine job as our town and before that school district moderator. Crowd control was difficult and not an enviable task. There is an angry crowd in the background that would like nothing better than to drive all young families out of town.
They are now stirring up a hornets nest even when the issue is well over. Our town has become a very sad and angry place. Don't blame the select board, blame the angry crowd of negative haters.”

Yet declines to post a comment asking for clarification as to who can post on this topic.
I have looked at the blog here and there and commented very infrequently. It certainly seems like someone is "taking his ball and going home".

Someone who has spent as much time railing against that status quo in town; as the blogger has, perhaps should understand the power of dissent...

I posted a comment there and it was allowed.
