In reply to Jacob. The Gazette owns the Washington Examiner. Only subscribers can see the comments in the gazette unless you use the DisQus platform then a user can view and interact with comments.

In reply to Fac Speaks. Fac Might I remind you that FAC does the same thing. Routinely denying comments by us, yet allowing comments by outsiders with threats of violence towards us.

In reply to Tim.

We can sarcastically submit this to really confuse everyone

We formally want to be known as :

“Former Sex offenders who are no longer sex offenders(Well I can only speak for myself). However, we are still being treated like we are actively offending, offenders”.

So going forward, I will legally change my name to – The Artist formally known as a Sex offender.

Oh wait, we are no longer by law allowed to change our name.

In reply to Fac Speaks.

While changing the name designation from sex offender in Colorado has done us no service. It still sounds like this is what we do – sex offend. I would much rather the designation be “past sex offender” as to more aptly describe the situation.

Thank you to all of our members who have been sending this editorial board the “truth” which they do not seem to want to hear.

In reply to Jacob. When this Action Alert was created, we were not aware that this editorial board would refuse to print the truth. Plenty of comments have been sent to them, but they refuse to print the "truth".

I have always had respect for editorial boards, always thought they were well informed. The Gazette Editorial Board refuses to post my comments that include research. Their comments included no research — just their personal opinions. That is scary.

In reply to The Real TS. You can send in comments to the Gazette Op Ed instead of CO Politics

In reply to The Real TS.

If you are interested in the original Gazette Op Ed which CO Politics used for their article, here it is:

EDITORIAL: When ‘person-first’ means victim last

If you want to blast the idea, then read this Nov 28 Op Ed from the Gazette and send in your thoughts. The CO Politics page is not worth your time. Letters to the board one way or the other, e.g. electronically or in the mail, are worth the time.

EDITORIAL: Colorado sex crimes board wants more respect for rapists

And BTW, CO Springs is a very red and conservative city in CO so views like this from the Gazette are not unexpected.
