This is in response to Jim Fossel’s Sunday, Aug. 11 column, “‘Weird’ isn’t a pejorative term.”
Weird?
Jim Fossel is more concerned with Democrats using the word “weird” to describe Trump and Vance than he is the everyday rhetoric that resonates from Trump.
I’ve read enough of Mr. Fossel’s writing to understand that he is a staunch conservative. He writes that “Joe Biden’s judgment is always in doubt and his latest selection of Kamala Harris to replace him on the Democratic ticket is the latest example.” This, in my opinion, is categorically not true. I read articles written by individuals from both sides of the aisle in order to see the whole picture. I believe writers should try to stay away from painting themselves into a corner, as it results in the total bias of one side and loses credibility. Mr. Fossel failed to be credible.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
