Report Inappropriate Comments

WwkVoter, your question about the make-believe mayor's behavior on this website drives right to the heart of the many defects in his candidacy.

He thinks that spamming this website is an effective way to get his message to voters. And once he started using it for free political advertising and found he could continue to get away with it, he simply kept doing it.

Of course, he has really only succeeded in humiliating himself by having his comments proven to be distortions [at best] and lies [at worst]. He's engaged in name-calling and attacking commenters who use screen names -- which is something he can't enforce because he doesn't own this website.

But what I think explains his pathetic behavior on this website the most is that he's lazy, arrogant, and entitled.

Lazy, because he has so far put only $100 into his 2018 campaign and replaced actual effort with typing comments on this website; arrogant, because he thinks repeated comments on the Beacon's website make him a legitimate candidate; and entitled, because he thinks he should be allowed to use someone else's website for his campaign without being challenged on his statements.

So, in the end, there really is no good answer for why the make-believe mayor continues to try to mislead and lie to Beacon readers, except he's just decided that he can.

Joe Solomon already has $100,000 in his campaign account to spend, the Democratic party gearing up to support him, 20 years' worth of name recognition, and actual, verifiable accomplishments as an elected official that people already know about. It's logical to conclude that, unlike the make-believe mayor, Joe Solomon doesn't need to use someone else's website to run a successful campaign.
