On Tuesday, HucksOnline poster Almost Innocent Bystander made a baseless accusation against Tina Jacobson, chairwoman of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee. I deleted that post and three others that referred back to it as soon as I saw them. I also informed Almost Innocent Bystander that posting privileges at HucksOnline have been revoked. In response today, Almost Innocent Bystander emailed this: “I apologize for and retract my derogatory and unsubstantiated commentary regarding Tina Jacobson.” HucksOnline commenters should feel free to flag posts they think are inappropriate — DFO.
