I find it interesting that The Forum did not have enough room to print a full obituary for a person but has plenty of room to print misdemeanors for West Fargo, Fargo, Clay and Cass counties. In the past couple of days there has been page after page of misdemeanor listings.
This is nothing but gossip. The public does not have a "need to know." These are misdemeanors, not felonies. Frankly, I don't read them as they are none of my business.
I suggest that you do one of your online surveys to see what public opinion says about that subject. While you are at it, see what the public thinks about your obituary policy.
