NEW: Membership for Commenters and Authors

One year after the launch of our former blog incarnation, Ochs Nation, The Razor has made a tremendous impact in the local community of Los Osos, California. Now, it’s time for people to get on board and become members of our site. As founder of The Razor, I sincerely believe that people ought to have their say as anonymous commenters, members and authors. My goal is to showcase the numerous perspectives that have been underrepresented by the local media and demonstrate how these perspectives can create a profound impact in our local community and the world at large. The Razor wants your stories, your photos, your opinion — no matter who you are or what you stand for.

You can register as a member by clicking on the Register link on the right column.

If you want to be a featured blogger for The Razor, please submit a writing sample to therazor@rockofthecoast.com. Your sample must have proper spelling and grammar. You must also show that you’re opinionated while being knowledgeable and resourceful.

I’m looking forward to working with you, the reader, the author. Let’s make a difference together.

– Aaron Ochs

    “The Razor has made a tremendous impact in the local community of Los Osos” Huh? WHAT impact? There are probably 6-7 people who read this dreck. Most of the crap posted by Aaron is attacks on people he doesn’t like (or people he fears.) The rest is just mock-outrage twaddle.

    Sam, Aaron does NOT attack people, nor is he AFRAID of anyone. I can ALWAY TRUST what is in “THE ROCK”…In fact, they are the ONLY source for truth & fairness in reporting. We certainly do NOT get the FACTS from ANY of the other media outlets & that includes the Trib, New Times, Bay News & yes, that even KSBY!

    Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. So far you have ripped on a wide variety of perspectives – everyone from Al Barrow to Ron Crawford to Alon, to the Shredder, to Bob Cuddy — Bruce Gibson, Bill Garfinkel, Maria, Paavo, Pandora, Adam Hill, Mike, Watershed Mark, Gail McPherson, the entire TAC – have I left out anyone? Oh, me. I guess all these people are not in your category of being “underrepresented,” so they are fair game for verbal carnage?

    So just WHY would anyone want to participate? You let people talk and then you come out with a hit piece.

    I have a better idea. You go out into the community and report on the good stuff happening out there – people helping people – people whose groups help the community and give a positive report on these things. By establishing that you have changed, people could begin to trust you and might want to participate.

    Why would anyone want to participate?

    Good question. I believe it’s time that other people have a say on The Razor beside me and Ed. You’re right on the people that I’ve written about and criticized, but again, you’re talking about my opinions. People ought to have equal time — and that’s the foundation of people helping people.

    So far, I haven’t had problems with anyone expressing their own on here — and I’ve seen commenters that, quite frankly, should be featured as columnists because they are opinionated, provocative and intelligent. I’m asking those people to step forward and provide their perspective; have that perspective appear side-by-side with my own.

    When I mentioned “tremendous impact” earlier, I was talking about readership. There aren’t many people commenting on the articles, but there are a lot of people reading them. From what I’ve gathered, it’s been making great discussions and debates outside of the site — and that’s exactly what I’m aiming for.

    Lynette, you mentioned all of those people. You’ve proven that the scrutiny on here is actually rather objective.

    Lastly, it’s flattering that you feel that you have enough stature in the community of Los Osos to determine if I have “changed” and if people trust me. I’m just one voice out of many. It’s not about, “Can you trust this guy?” You have a voice as much as I have one, but I don’t see people putting you on the chopping block to evaluate the worth of your words and your character and whether people should trust you or not. That’s not the focal point of the discussion that we should be having.

    Lynette,
    I understand that Pandora is trying to get the community to “come together” by doing various “little projects” around town…Why doesn’t she do something that’s really credit worthy, such as helping senior/low income home owners with some inexpensive fixes like cleaning up front yards, maybe a little trim paint, getting rid of unused & unwanted junkers that are parked around town. That in itself would give the community a HUGE FACE LIFT without much money spent, but alot of hard work. SHE would get alot of praise if she could (or would) pull that one off.

    Lisa, I’m sorry that you feel that the Celebrate Los Osos projects are not credit worthy. I disagree. They put a positive face on the community to show to visitors that we have some pride in our town.

    I’m not saying that you don’t have a good idea, but it seems like a broader base to really make an impact might be needed. Seems like a topic for LOCAC or the LOCSD or the churches. People in distress need to be identified by people they feel safe with, not by drive by’s writing down addresses on run-down properties.

    This all takes money as well as time. Why don’t you present your ideas to the above mentioned entities to see if someone is willing to take on organizing that. Everything positive in the town does not need to be done by Pandora. Will you put in some time or organize this?

    There will be an upcoming article on the Celebrate Los Osos event. Stay tuned.

    Whether he did “act secret”or not, is not the point. He would have gone under his own name had he wanted to. It’s betraying a trust as a blog owner, THAT’S the point.

    Technically, he did go under his name. In the comment text area, under web site, instead of placing his personal e-mail address in the e-mail field, he once placed it in the website field, therefore publicizing his e-mail for everyone to see. Noticing the error a day late, I removed his e-mail address for privacy reasons.

    Just an FYI for people who use this system: if you want your e-mail private, post your e-mail in the e-mail field. That’s the only way I wouldn’t know who the person is.

    If a person was asked to their face, “Are you so and so” it would be the same as asking “Are you holding a medium pair?” in Texas holdum, and yet there are reveals. The pro’s do it all the time. A non answer is a huge reveal.

    So Mrs, Cable lines to your house, and a political position that cannot be duplicated. It’s Your Positive and Negative afiliations that give you away.

    “I always knew you were incognito as “Sam Spade”! Bubbie,”
    It’s interesting that you would think that I would need to go incognito when I have amply demonstrated that I speak my mind, fear nothing, have the proven ability to predict what happens next, and know what many people are thinking before they do.

    Why don’t you stop clowning around and support someone who figured Los Osos out a long time ago. Otherwise, you are only doing Al Barrow and Gail McPherson’s dirty work for them.

    Oh I forgot, I have you listed in chapter 27 of “The Study of Los Osos as a case of Abnormal Behavior” I use your real name of course, family affiliations etc.., You are lumped in the sub-clinical Grouping “People who cannot change their minds no matter what evidence is presented”. Your spouse didn’t make that section.

    Best do it before we go into Day 187 of the “Death to the County” by 1399 paper cuts. Or, have’nt you seen the latest edition of the New Times?

    On page 18 there is a political cartoon “The Modern World”
    by “Tom Tomorrow”. There are some very good points in it. Read it and then reread it. NOW Substitute Gail McPherson for Glenn Beck. See how your perception changes?

    Has anyone picked up a copy of “New Times” & read Lisa Schicker’s excellent response to the “Shredders” article regarding Los Osos? Her comments were factual & to the point, which leads me to believe that Lisa wrote this article HERSELF, without any extraneous & distracting “extra stuff”. Gail has the tendancy to lead people astray with all the extra B.S. she throws in. I think that may be why Warren Jenson didn’t take Lisa’s complaint seriously. Everyone knows, the readers interest will be lost when there’s over 1000 pages! Stick to just the facts, maam & have confidence in your OWN writing skills…you do not need Gail McPherson’s help with putting the “facts” together.

    Lisa, put your money where your mouth is and try to find a lawyer to take your “case,” get soaked, and then come to the realization that this is exactly what you have done to the community you profess to “care about.”

    How much more is this project going to cost us because of your board? How much additional damage has been done to our groundwater basin – not only in pollution, but in salt water intrusion – and how many MORE years before anything is in the ground to stop this damage? Yet here you are again – trying to kill another project! (Gee, sure looks like “no sewer” to me.)

    It’s time to quit trying to justify yourself and instead think about asking for forgiveness. Or just be quiet, that would work too. Your credibility is paper thin these days and really, no one is listening.

    The matter before this blog today, is that of the process by which a complaint submitted to proper Authorities in 2006 and was found then to be of no prosecaturial merit, has snowballed into a churning ball of crinckled paper. Has further devided the community, has isolated a minority of victims to belive that people who have been inaffectual in promoting change, will actually “git’er done” this time. Yes the opinion peice is a better written version of potions the original complaint (indicating multiple editors) with the addition that, the Complainant is a victim of a response to the complaint that was somehow unpredictable, being that is was such a valid good complaint, and therefore government non-response is inppropriate and could only be due to a coverup. Ridicule by the Media is more likely to be due to the fact that they failed to understand that a serious crime was committed. There is still hope.
    Send money, funds and Lawyers. Support the bogus Charities.

    It is beyond the perview of this discussion string to discuss as an agenda item “who is and who isn’t a member of Taxpayers Watch” untill placed on a duly public announced string notice posted by the appropriate authorities, which is in this virtual space is the Blog-Master.

    I think that sort of discussion of who is and who isn’t a member of Taxpayers Watch is best suited for discussions of future articles.

    Spade, don’t assume that I am Pam, just because my yiddish is better than yours. You must know what they say about people who ASSUME….Please don’t tell me you are a khnyok. oysshteler.Don’t always be such a putz…

    Clump-
    I qnly assumed you were Pam because you both are unstable, shreaking harridans. Not sure which one I should apologize to, though !

    • Aaron

      I want to direct you to the Rules that are in place.

      So let me ask you: do you think your comments qualify you to be removed from the site? I believe I gave you a fair warning earlier.

    So, Aaron, you have no problem with The Clump’s unprovoked “go to hell!” remark, but I’m not allowed to express my opinion as to the character of the remarker ? Interesting bias. Remove me or don’t; if I feel an overwhelming urge to comment, I’ll just use another identity.
    ps- I apologize for misspelling ‘shrieking’ – didn’t have my glasses on.

    Sam, I’m asking you a question and I would like an answer. Do you think your non-Yiddish comments qualify you to be removed from the site? You were the one that is violating my warning.

    Lisa Klump, I think the “Lisa” board tapped this community dry (literally) by forcing us to a WW project that won’t be able to address our basin issues for years – and oh yeah, bankrupting the CSD, CDO’s and NOV’s. It is amazing that she is STILL trying to stop a project.

    Shall we tally up the dollars and see who comes out on top?

    Get a grip, Lynette. She is NOT against a sewer. Only one that will have such a devastating effect on a large number of our neighbors. We are after all, our brothers keepers & if THIS obsolete system displaces even one person, that’s ONE TOO MANY. I will probably be ok, no matter what, but that doesn’t mean the rest of my neighbors will be able to stay. It will for sure put a HUGE cramp in my lifestyle & that’s not something I will give up on easily….

    I never said to you, “Gai in drerd arein”! Enough yiddish already, Bubbe & Zaide have gone home.

    Oh, Lisa Klump – you drank the STEP kool-aid too! STEP in NOT cheaper! But that’s what the salesman said when he gave you that little paper cup, isn’t it?

    No, the people have spoken, the PC and the Supes listened – NO STEP. All the tears, imagined horror stories and hand-wringing from the tiny band of STEP clones are not going to change this.

    Lynette, since YOU are a relative “new comer” to this area, you have ALOT to learn. At least keep an open mind, there really ARE better technologies available. It is totally irresponsible, unethical & immoral to think that Gibson & his BOARD OF STOOGES feel that $250-$300 per month is “acceptable” and that such a FEW people are footing the bill for the benefit of the entire community, county & state. Something is wrong with the big picture….YOU just don’t get it!

    Los Osos, Are you feeling run down lately? Here’s Why

    Take the simple Psychology test I posted earlier
    You can do it, using a Paper Issue of the New Times.
    For Electronic access to the Tom Tomorrow Cartoon Strip posted on page 18, New times Oct 21, ’09 use the link posted above.

    Dr. Perlman, urges you to take this test, it’s for your own good.
    I guarantee you will feel even more tired tomorrow if you don’t. If you don’t act within this week I promise that you will notice that by next Sunday morning, it will be as if you lost a whole hour of restful sleep.

    Relates to my Comment October 22 posting 4:31 PM Above
    ” On page 18 there is a political cartoon “The Modern World”
    by “Tom Tomorrow”. There are some very good points in it. Read it and then reread it. NOW Substitute Gail McPherson for Glenn Beck. See how your perception changes?
    Now take this test, using Los Osos “other names” to substitute for the following:
    “Modern World”================”Los Osos”======

    Glenn Beck , ,_______________

    Obama , ,_______________

    …Etc.
