Brent, thanks for sharing!
Brent, thanks for sharing your beautiful You Tube video about Holland with the readers of the Holland Blog.
Brent has an outstanding blog, there is a link on the left of this blog under the heading “Local Blogers and Voices.”
Brent S. Abrahamson is a life-long resident of the town of Southbridge. Now retired, Mr. Abrahamson spent 31 years teaching English to students in grades 7-9. His interests include music, American history, and local history. His blog is my favorite blog. His entries are most interesting to read. Lately he wrote about cronyism and nepotism in connection with the hiring of Donna C. Byrnes as special education teacher.
As a former English teacher he has an incredible command of the English language and his writings are like well orchestrated dances with words. He has a wide range of interests and you never know what his next post is all about. The entries are always well researched and Brent knows what he writes about and does so with depth and competence. Without being to confrontational, he has a way of getting his point across in a respectful way.
If you like to watch more of his fine videos on You Tube, his user name on You Tube is “babrahamson.”

Will any comments, which do not agree with the poster, be removed?

Be civilized. that's all!
Of course you would like it to be about "agreeing." That would put me in the same category as you and other town officials.
When I blogged on the Worcester Telegram web site up to a year ago to let people know about the illegal Johnson land-deal and the illegally built homes off of Stafford road and other illegal activities by the Johnson's and others you and other town officials called the Worcester Telegram and threatened with a lawsuit if they would not remove my comments (and those of others). You did not "agree" with those comments. However, those claims and comments were truthful. The scandal became know as the Johnson LandGate scandal and is now posted on this web site. It is not under your control any longer. There is no escape, the unbelievable scheme put in place by Earl Johnson over 25 years ago is well documented so doubters will become believers.
You would love to just dump your garbage here and trash this blog as you and others are threatened by it, as you should be. It is not going to happen, the rules have changed.
You have something to say, do it in a civilized manner and I will not have to delete your comment. You can even post an entry, just email me the entry and I will post it.
Here a tip: If you have the guts to sign your comments with your real name you will have more freedom to post, but I think you don't have what it takes.

I'm civil
I'm civil. Admittingly my comment may have had a wise-ass tone. You kept referring to me as "you and other town officials' and you would love to just dump your garbage here". I do not have an agenda. When I came across the site. I thought, nice to have a place Holland residents can post comments and thoughts. I'm all for hearing other peoples point of view. Pro or con on differant subjects. It will only make me an more informed resident and voter. If I can make a suggestion. Have a section like "What is Hollland thinking" Where people could make comments about Holland. If it makes you feel any better I registered as an independent.
