Muscatine

Anyone notice that when people started questioning ryan's credibility on his site, he quit replying?  I personally think that if he is man enough to write the article  he needs to be man enough to answer to the people reading it.

Yeah, I don't understand why he never responds to my posts that are directed towards him.

He's just a young fellow who is still learning.  Real world experience is something he's yet to gather much of.  And really when you think about it, he's been brought up in a PC world where criticism is "bad" unless it's included with at least ten compliments and a certificate of achievement.  No doubt being a young guy and getting his chops busted by a bunch of old farts is intimidating.  Should he "man up" and either justify himself or admit his mistakes?  Sure.  But allow him the time to become a man first.

Just my take...I'd love to see him get on here and make replies to you guys and myself, but hey, I don't expect a lot from a 19 year old self-proclaimed journalist either.  Plus it's not like we're paying him or anything...

I'm afraid Kopf lost all credibility with me when a website revealed him relating that he has always been an Obama supporter, even before he became an independent candidtate for city council, seeking everyone's vote. To me, he defrauded voters who would like to know how he stands on issues. To have documented on a website that one is an Obama supporter sure takes away from credibility issues when attemting to portray oneself as an independent elsewhere.
