WHO IS WHITT MILLER ?????
Who is Whitt Miller, the amateurish writer of "Whitt's Well" that appears in the Pulaski Citizen, and why is "he" writing those articles in the paper?

How can you add one and one and get eleven and have the right number?
It depends on how you add one and one. If it’s one plus one the answer is clearly two but if you add a one next to a one that makes eleven. Now what does that have to do with the price of rice in Thailand, nothing but it does help understand some of the things that happen around this county. Things like deceitful people who slither around and use different names to attack those they dislike, to promote their agendas, to protect family members from repercussions when they act out at school (I’m not speaking of children), they even use those positions of power to enhance opportunities for their spouse to be elected as County Commissioners.
A very interesting letter was published in the newspaper from Mr. Bill Holt who asked the question who is Whitt Miller. Whitt Miller is paid to write an article for the Pulaski Citizen titled, “Whitt’s Well”. “He” is not found in any writers union or syndication records. “He” does not exist in internet records at least not under the name Whitt Miller. If you don’t want anyone to ever know who you are you have to live alone in a cave and use only cash, everything else leaves a trail.
In a very sly, cunning and disingenuous way Whitt Miller tries to set a tone using gossip, innuendo, and sometimes plain old untruths. For Mr. Holt that tone was an attack against him and his school. Was it retaliation against Mr. Holt for criticizing unprofessional and insubordinate behavior from a teacher, guess it depends on who Whitt is? This week the article in a very immature way used a baseball analogy to call on people to become “cheerleaders” for Government Officials. I suppose that’s a good request especially if you’re running for Mayor of Pulaski and your spouse is on the County Commission. At other times I have been the object of Whitt’s scorn.
Being Whitt Miller is a lot like being Anonymous on this blog, you can accuse and say things without fear of retribution or even having to be responsible and answer charges that you make. I know Whitt Miller reads this blog and has contributed to it at times, so I challenge Vicki Harwell to come on this blog and deny that she uses the pseudonym Whitt Miller and writes the articles under the Whitt’s Well logo.
The question is can a person have enough credibility to be mayor when they can't even offer an opinion using their own name? Allen Barrett

Lord help us all. Now you start to attack someone else. You seriously need to see a doctor.
wab
No, one is not free to post without fear of retribution(having his or her post deleted id it's not to your liking).
So will you now be mounting an attack campaign against Whitt Miller?
What's the attack? If someone is using the newspaper to advance their personal agenda should that person be allowed to go unchallenged? If a person has the conviction of their words should they be ashamed to be connected to those words? If a person chooses to make public statements about others should they be held accountable? If Mrs Harwell isn't Witt Miller why would there be a problem stating that she is not? I am not accustomed to making charges that I can not validate. Allen Barrett

Do you expect to go uinchallenged? Of course you do. You cry victim every single time.

Congratulations Mrs. Harwell. Best gift is for Barrett to be against you. His support is the kiss of death.
Thanks Mr. Barrett for putting this post on here, it made me go back and read three weeks of Whitt Miller's post.
I had read Mr. Holt's letter to the editor and wondered what it was all about.
I take it no other school got any new carpet for Mr. Holt to think it was his school.
I know how it has been hard on air conditioners to keep houses and any building cool this hot weather.
Just wish school had started later so it wouldn't be so hot. Someone said up north they don't have air conditioners in schools..... well some I know do.
I heard a principal got an air conditioner for his school kitchen and I think it was Mr. Holt. Good for him to think about those workers.
Mr. Barrett,
I have enjoyed reading this blog since Kendrick started it several years ago. While I have not always agreed with your point of view, I always respected your opinion because I felt you had the best interest of Giles County at heart. But I must tell you Mr. Barrett, I am disappointed in this new thread.
With all the important issues facing Pulaski and Giles County, you choose to post this topic. Is this an attempt of retaliation against Mrs. Harwell for the posts she made a few weeks ago on the blog telling her side of the story regarding a comment you made about her? If you really want to know, why not ask her in person or over the telephone? I believe she listed her address and telephone number in her previous posts. Why do you want to draw others in to what seems to me to be a one-sided feud with her.
I truly wish you, as blogmaster, would return the blog to its original purpose that being "to identify problems of concern to the people of Giles County, to discuss them in a gentlemanly and civil manner, while referring to the facts and giving evidence to back up whatever claims are made, making logical arguments that avoid any use of fallacy, and, hopefully, to come together in agreement, and find a positive solution to the problem at hand."
The last statement says "Help make a difference!" Do you really think topics such as this will do that?
to 6:27
If you read the topic of this thread you will see that it is a very benign
statement of fact.
What I placed on the thread is more of my personal thoughts which is exactly what the purpose of this blog is. My name is included and there is nothing I posted that I can't back up. You and every one else has that same privilege.
This has nothing to do with "retaliation" as you describe it. What Mrs Harwell posted about an alleged incident at Legends involving me was a complete and utter ridiculous fabrication. The waitress that waited our table and the manager that was on duty deny any problem or loud talk. the people at my table and the next one over deny any loud or disruptive discussions.
The reason for this thread was to expose the dis-ingenuousness of being paid to write articles under a different name and using that privilege in such an irresponsible way.
The only vindictiveness involved in this thread is that of Mrs. Harwell striking back at a person who happened to correct her daughter's improper behavior and use the opportunity of writing a column to speak to her agenda while under the cloak of anonymity.
I'm sorry if that disappoints you but in the world of adults one is expected to take responsibility for their words and actions. Allen Barrett
7:32 must be Mrs. Harwell, who else would know??
I don't always agree with Barrett but he's right on the mark with this one.
If this is Mrs Harwell and she is being paid to write this article she should make herself known instead of hiding behind a different name specially when she is accussing someone of doing something without any proof.
How do you know so much about this person Mr. Barrett? Do you have a "source" at the newspaper? Like many have told those who disagree with you about this blog, don't read the column. Better yet, see if Mr. Lake and Mr. Stewart will let you write a column. You could call it "Barrett's Bull" or something similar.
Mr. Barrett,
Thank you for your response to my post (6:27). I don't know what happened that day at Legends and don't really care. The world is bigger than the two of you. You have your side of the story and Mrs. Harwell has hers. My guess is the facts are somewhere in between.
You have the right to post whatever you want on this blog. You follow your rules. I'm sorry, but I still don't see how "outing" Mrs. Harwell is going to make an overall difference to the betterment of Giles County citizens so I am still hoping you will use the blog for more constuctive topics that actually will.
Thanks for your consideration.

6:11 was deleted because they told repeated the same untruth, and made the same stupid accusations without putting their name on the post.
Something to think about.
If I had a point to make I would want my name attached to what I wrote. So you can understand how Bill Holt feels when he says that the writer of a disparaging article in the newspaper should be required to publish their name and contact information .
After all that same information is REQUIRED of anyone writing a letter to the editor in those same newspapers .
Only the authors of pure fiction (like Charles Dickens ) are accepted if they use a pseudonym .
WE ARE ALL HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WE PUBLISH AS 'THE TRUTH' otherwise we can only assume this was a deliberate attempt by the newspaper to decieve their readers
11:33 You hit that one square on the head. My sentiments exactly. There has always been seperate rules in our county. One set for elected officials or those well heeled and a different one for we common folks. Seems those in the know underestimated principal Holt in his ability to bring this cover up out into the open.
Well Well Well, if you was at the property meeting you could see why Allen Barret was so against Janet Vanzanat. Also stoney Jackson IS IN JANET VANZANTS BACK POCKET JUST LIKE HE IS IN DAN SPEERS BACK POCKET. He can deny it all he wants to but the truth has finally come out I have it on tape where Stoney said he was not in Dan Speers back pocket but I guess he slipped out in time for the election but don't let him fool you he will stab you in the back in a minute. I hope we can survive four more years of this going on. God Bess Giles County.
How about telling us what happen.
Why is the property committee even meeting when the new commission committees have not even been chosen? Don't know what they did but I've not heard of anything so pressing they had to get it done before the new elected commission sets its committees.
5:34
Oh rest assures, you haven't heard the last from wab about this election. He is not going away quietly. Sour grapes for sure.
5:51 Now how would YOU know that?
But lets get back to the topic at hand. Anyone care to guess if the newspaper will continue to carry the Whitt Miller alias Vicki Harwell personal thoughts? If they do I would hope they would be compelled to state who the real writer is.
5:51
That's the rumor. Ask barrett if it's true or not.
Sour grapes 5:51:00 PM you won who you wanted and still have sour grapes.
6:08 Surely the column wont continue. Could see a lot less papers being sold if it does. Gonna be interesting.
Amen to 8:40
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. What were the Lake's thinking? Or perhaps, they were not thinking at all. Now for certain if the consensus of voters that didn't vote for Scott Stewart because the Lake's supposed support of Scott and their unfounded fear of the Lake's running our county(which was a ridiculous idea to strike fear in the heart of all Giles voters),one should pause to imagine what the voters would think if the "Masked" columnist of "Whitt Miller is Vicky Harwell. Her attempt at a bid for mayor will certainly be interesting considering how people feel about the Lakes'. Maybe both parties just shot themselves in the foot. Oh goody! It seems the city election is heating up already!
6:21 Your statement about Mr. Barrett being the most laughed at man in Giles county is exactly what Danny Lindsey wrote in his letter to the editor. But cant you remember the swift rebuttals? You are very much mistaken as many many people admire what Mr. Barrett does and having the guts to stand up to the cheats and liars. Go Allen Barrett!!
Here again you are straying from the topic which has been usual for all your postings.
Hear the teachers at PESchool had already figured out that "Whitt Miller" is Vicki Harwell before Mr. Holts letter even hit the paper.
9:06
I challenge you to take a little informal survey of people you don't know around the county. You'll find out really fast that what I am saying is true. It's verifiable, but you have to ask other than the very few who are not able to see through him. Please do it.
Better things to do with my time. Your idea - you get the proof (and be sure to supply names of the folks you survey). Have noticed time and again how you want other people to do your 'work' for you.
9:45
No, I'm simply challenging you to find out for yourself who the most laughable and despised man is in Giles County.
Mr. Barrett, You say "in the world of adults one is expected to take responsibility for their words and actions." Yes, we will all be held accountable for our words, deeds, and thoughts but not by you but by God on Judgment Day. I will continue to pray for you and hope you will decide to use this blog in a more productive manner.
10:20 I have enough "challenges" in my life to mess with something so trivial put out by YOU. I could be very explicit but WAB would delete me for strong language. Instead I'll only ASK YOU to "take a long walk off a short pier". Bon Voyage.
11:27
Sounds to me like you are afraid of what you might find out. That's ok. Kid yourself if you must.
Survey Says . . . :
COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 7
Terry W. Harwell - 477
T.A. (Tommy) Campbell – 448
Vicki Coleman – 423
(WAB) William Allen Barrett – 254
Yep. Both those figures of the top three are too close to be true. Stay tuned.......
I can't understand why the results of the election, for the 7th District has to be posted over and over. Barrett posted all results including the 7th district. He's not hiding anything.
You just can't get over it.
People are guessing who the nut in Giles county is.
Get over it. The election is over and you won.
I think the election result poster was just trying to reiterate that people in Giles County are not behind Barrett. Maybe he will eventually get the point. Well, probably not, but one can hope....
I would think Barrett knows most people in Giles county aren't behind him. He ran before and lost.
I believe he will do as he always has. So why don't people just ignore him instead of acting like him. That don't make us nice people when we keep on acting like some of have been doing.
If we keep on that makes us attack dogs.
1:15
Are you implying that the election was rigged in some way? If so, please be bold and name the ones you think are responsible. Inquiring minds, and their attorneys, are awaiting your answer. Talk about sour grapes. You guy lost for the second time. The people in his district do not want his expertise. Ok?
There is less rigging on a four masted schooner and from what I heard at the game last night the ship is about to hit the fan.
3:00 You really are wonderful to be able to store all this personal knowledge of people's lives. Now what I find strange is that at least one of these candidates solicited monetary assistance for his campaign yet he is able to afford an attorney? Interesting.
I hope it backfires on him big time...just as the flag caper thing will.

7:04 No that makes you look just as bad.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
8:19 Are you referring to Mr. Barrett as a Troublemaker? If so, have to disagree. Just because a person ask questions of the governmental officials who supposedly represent him, that is not making trouble. On the contrary, I would say those who refuse to answer him should be labeled troublemaker. Anyways, don't believe Mr. Barrett has ever asked or done anything that is against the law.
4:24
Absolutely! There's a vast difference between asking questions and causing trouble. Where have you been?
Questions only ever cause trouble for they who have something to hide .
Figure out WHO is/are trying to hide something in Giles County (which is a Kindergarten level question ) and you will find they who consider Mr. Barrett a troublemaker .
For the rest of us , he is a bringer of freedom and light
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
You have your opinion 7:15 which is based upon your silly feelings and the fear of being threatened. I truly feel sorry for you if you are putting a lot of faith in some of those being questioned. Your intellect is certainly questionable if that is the case. Too bad you think it is being a troublemaker to question those running our county. It isn't just your county got it? I want questions asked and every stoned unturned. That is my right to know and pry as much as I want to. These elected officials are accountable to me and everyone else in this county. If you are upset that questions are being asked I can't wait to see your reaction when some of them are brought to their knees for their bad behavior. Why are you so concerned with questions being asked? Why do you not want to know all there is to do with what goes on in our local government? Any logical thinking person would appreciate the honesty of government. Which causes me to wonder why you are so opposed to it? What do you not like the people knowing? If there is nothing to hide, then why do you get so upset? Someone once said on this blog if you have evidence then turn it over to the proper authorities. Well, it seems when that is done, you still aren't happy? There is no pleasing you. You just simply want the people to be in the blind because you or someone close to you stand to benefit from it. Period.
Several post ago someone said it was best not to vote for the school superintendent because people would vote for the person they liked not the one that could do the best job.
Could that be the way all elections go?
Somebody has to be elected first.
By the way someone told me it was on WKSR that Barrett had sued someone, what is that about?
8:04
Wrong! I don't feel threatened by a troublemaker. The problem with you (and wab) seems to be a touch of sour grapes. Get over it!
Who is concerned about questions being asked? Not me. But what does concern me is that a man with no political power can run around trying to stir up trouble and expect nobody to ask questions of him. He reminds me of a little boy who wants to join a club when the members have already voted against his membership. Not accepting that, the lad seeks to bully his way into the club, not caring who might get hurt in the process. That is the difference between asking questuions and trying to stir up trouble.
Do I need to know every minute detail of what goes on in county government? Heavens, no. Why do you feel such a need? Isn't that why we elect officials to take care of the little intricacies? Of course!
Exactly who are some of those who will be "brought to their knees" in the near future? If you feel someone is hiding something, now's your chance to name them...right here and now. Oh, please enlighten us. And don't forget to sign your name to the charges. Who would you say should be turned over to the proper authorities? I don't want anyone blind and particularly to the accusations you might make. Do it.
From WLX News
Barrett Contests Giles' District 7 Commission Race
Elected Giles County officials will be sworn in on Friday, August 27 except for 7th district commission winners. Friday afternoon representatives of candidate William Allen Barrett filed a challenge in Chancery Court in the 7th district commission race claiming that one of the 25 signatures on the qualifying petition of winning candidate Vicky Coleman should be disqualified because the individual no long lived in the 7th district. Circuit Judge Stella Hargrove said that none of the 7th district commission candidates could be sworn in pending a hearing by Judge Robert Jones on September 2nd. State law requires a candidate to have at least 25 eligible signatures from their district on a petition in order to run for office. Coleman won her seat with 423 votes to Barrett's 254. All other office winners will be sworn in by Judge Jim Hamilton this Friday morning at 9 at the courthouse.
Did that person live in the 7th District when she/he signed the paper?
NO 10:15.
10:53 should be, under the rules of this blog, be deleted. They offered no evidentuary proof to answer "no."
Looks like once again Barrett was right. No denial by Vicki Harwell are will there be a admission by Whitt in the newspaper this week?
This is just another example of how deceit has taken over in this county good is bad and bad is good. Those who try to do the right thing are made to be villians while the real villians are made to seem like saints.
Monday, August 23, 2010 9:21:00 AM
From what I just heard on the radio, I think Mr. Barrett has been to busy for this blog.
But I do disagree with you, 10:53 answered a question with one word, that wasn't like going off on anyone.
If the newspaper dont print Miller's real name surely they would have to stop the column. Its a waste of space anyway. Who wants to read what V Harwells opinions are.
Agreed 1:11. Huge mistake! The Lakes' will suffer irreparable damage from this not so bright idea.
11:00 SOUNDS LIKE THE M'S ARE AT IT AGAIN.
Hey while the "old children" fight and ramble on, your kids and businesses are leaving the county. Surely there is a cross somewhere for all of you to climb on.
What color M's are you talking about? And, didn't you mean 1:11pm not 11:00 pm?
Who are the M's? Morris?
Morris who?
Morris the cat
Sour grapes anyone?
Lot of sour grapes in Giles county.
I posted the Harwell opinions are useless. My name is not Morris. Just a reader who would like to see something of substance in the newspaper.
I just heard that WAB had gone to the Court House to lobby and ask that he replace Vicki Coleman as the winner in his district - is this true?
10:00 Not true. Read the new topic posted at 9:45 this morning. But you probably already have since you had to jump past it to post under this topic. Anyways, who told you that WAB asked to replace V Coleman - was it Whitt Miller?
10:37, I would have to agree with you.
Looks like ole Witt is going strong today spreading more rumors, gossiping and making up lies.
Has anyone denied who Whitt is yet.
This is where Whitt Miller AKA Vicky Harwell attacks the Morris'. She does this after every negative post someone puts on here about her. What she can't seem to comprehend is there are more than just a Morris or two that doesn't like her. With so many enemies she chooses to narrow it down to just one or two. How very presumptuous of her as well as laughable. Sorry to the Morris', not meaning to drag you into this. But ole Vick ain't too smart if she has yet to realize there are many who dislike her.
11:40 Of course not. A denial would be another lie.
Some people would rather climb a thorn tree butt naked than stand on the ground and tell the truth. We have a lot of those in Giles County.
11:59:00 AM I agree with you just the other day I heard someone say, "I sure hope Vicky Harwell don't get mayor." The same person said they didn't like Barrett and hoped he didn't get commissioner.
So it wasn't a friend of
Barrett saying that.
I am Whitt Miller.
10:31:00 PM
Well who are you?
Vickie Harwell.
Question for barrett
Will you now go after Vickie Harwell the same way you did Mrs. Vanzant? If you do, don't forget what I said about people not liking attack dogs. You are something else pal.
6:17 Still defending wrongdoing we see. Allen Barrett
If you are going to claim to be someone you aren't, at least spell the name right. It's Vicky, not Vickie. Smart!
See the paper is still carrying Vicki Harwell's "Whitt's Well" without any acknowledgement of her alias. Plus, what drival. The stuff in yesterdays paper is like talking down to a kindergartener. We all know what the improved road connections city to city should do for Pulaski. Lakes will most likely lose some subscriptions over this.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
I kinda liked the Whitt Miller article in the paper. I learned something that I did not know. Did you??? Or are you a "know it all" like WAB? What does it matter who writes the article? I just enjoy reading. The rest of the paper is terrible. There would be nothing happening in Giles County if it were not for ball games and WAB lawsuits.
Laura
No. I'm not a "know it all" but what exactly did you learn from the Whitt/Harwell column? I have read back in my paper copies and found them all to be articles about personal opinion rather than supplying some knowledge to we less knowledgeable people.
My decision to not renew my subscription to the newspaper was made today.
The first time I saw Whitt's Well I read to sentences and that has been it.
They sure need Claudia Johnson back. I liked to read her articles.
9:45 She posted under her real name, too! Didnt try to deceive the pulic.
Is English Grammar preferred here? Some of you posters do not seem to know what good grammar is. OMG!
You've got to ask yourself why would someone writing a column in the paper want to hide their identity with a pen name? Just like on this blog, anyone, including myself, is rarely taken seriously when they don't own their words.
If your greatest concern is the use of good grammar Laura, then I would love to live in your world.
Another hint on who I am. I am an educator in one of the higher capacities. Whitt
Wasn't Claudia Johnson "Penny Thoughts" the predecessor to this blog?
4:47 Vickie
You know thats stretching it.

wab
The 7:25 post needs to be removed, doesn't it?
NO 7:25 does not need to be removed. She told what happen.
If someone thinks that wasn't what happen let them tell why it's not true.
She did say one word should of been left out, but that's just what some of you are.
9:44 you take the cake.
820
No, the post was rather colorful in language, and calling Mr. Holt a name is not consistent with current "blog rules". I thought vulgarity would be deleted. No?
Calling Mr. Holt King wasn't bad.
I heard Vickie Harwell's granddaughter was in the hot room.
could Vickie's daughter be the one posted 7:25. Just wondering, don't know.
I don't blame whoever wrote 7:25.
That's what this blog is about. If someone knows why what she said was wrong tell it.
How many times did Jesus say you were suppose to forgive anyone. We can't expect him to forgive us if we can't forgive.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
302, Get your facts straight if you are going to involve a small child. Mrs. Harwell's granddaughters are both 4 years old-not of school age. Leave childrwen off of this blog, especially if you don't know what you are talking about!
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
So is Vickie Harwell going to be the next victim on this sight. If so then I will no longer read or participate on this blog. I know Vickie really well and yes she talks alot, but so do I. The biggest problem with this town is that women can't have a right to speak out on what they believe in.
Let me tell you, when school started there were more complaints among parents and children about Mr. Holt. It's sad for children to have to go to school and get ulcers just for going to lunch. It has been a big complaint since the beginning of Holt's time. The ladies yell at the children until they literally get sick. Bill does nothing to stop this. I think he has it in for the Harwell family because the daughter doesn't take his crap. Or maybe she doesn't go along with his flirting.
It's prett low when you start attacking people's children and grandcildren. I am done with this blog and its hate.
"Whitt Miller" and his goofy column are yet more shining examples of how thoroughly unprofessional our local so-called "press" is - and believe me I use the term "press" very loosely in reference to the paper. The tone of the thing sounds more like something one of the Lakes would write. That they allow something like this is reprehensible and unethical.
Allen Barrett, why did you choose to delete those comments?
To 10:22 Because the poster did not follow the rules. Allen Barrett
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
I am the poster at 7:25. I should not have used the "A" word and I apologize for offending anyone. It was my child in one of those "hot" rooms, so pardon me for being frustrated. You know school is out all summer so I'm having a little trouble understanding why these kids have to come into a room that's over 90 degrees the first week of school. It sounds like either the principal or the maintenance dept. is not doing their job. Then I sit and see how much money is being given and then dissapearing from the school board budget and that ticks me off even more. I am absolutely in NO WAY related to Vickie Harwell. I only know of her.
Very well said August 19th at 8:18- BRAVO on that last part-
I don't think "Whitt Miller" is Vickie Harwell. In his/her column about the air conditioning at PES they stated that a friend had told them "their" grandchild had no air in their classroom. Vickie's daughter Kristi had no air in her room, in the 1st grade class SHE teaches at PES. If Vickie was Whitt Miller I don't think she would have made up a friend with a grandchild to put in the column, she would have just stated this information was confirmed by a school official, etc. KUDOS to whomever did write the article. He or she.
If someone makes up a name for the public to swallow what makes you think she wouldnt make up her daughter as being her 'friend'. We happen we be best friends with out daughter. You should go back and read Mr Holts letter to the paper then you can see how revealing it all was for him.
The point is no school room should of been so hot.
It all goes back to Mr. Jackson, his responsibility over these things.

I can't find the August 19th at 8:18 post. what did it say?
Hopefully the classrooms would not be so hot but EVERYONE has suffered this past summer. Point is, this topic is about Miller/Harwell ramblings.
8:35, you just made a comment that sounded like you were disregarding the welfare and health of school kids. Adults and children handle heat differently. Be a little more understanding.
10:24 No. I have children's welfare I care deeply about. All I was trying to say is that the heat was a problem everywhere and for everyone. There was nothing much else could be done to reduce heat. Everyone knows an a/c unit can only reduce the temp down by 20degrees so when its 105 heat index you have 85 plus inside. Then I reminded all blog readers this topic is about the Whitt Miller/Vickie Harwell writings in the hope we could stay on track.
8:29, 1st off, you can't say this topic is about Whitt Miller/Vicky Harwell bc we don't have proof that of who the author is. 2nd, there could have been new ac units if there hadn't been new carpet installed in the PES front office. If you read Whitt's Well, you'd know that!
The real problem with the heat in the classroom is why children are going to school in the middle of the summer to begin with?
8:52 Can you tell why Vicki Harwell hasnt come forward and denied being W Miller. Can it be to many are in the know?
Lane,
Did you folks ever take the time to think that Whitt Miller MAY NOT BE VICKI HARWELL AND THAT VICKi HARWELL MAY NOT EVEN READ THE TRASH ON THIS SITE???? It seems that only perverts tend to read this mess.
Well, maybe you would have a point if she had never posted on the blog. But she has and signed her name. You've exceeded your usage of the brain you share with the others. Next!
It seems that only perverts tend to read this mess.
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 11:15:00 AM
That says you and me are perverts because we read this.
9:54 & 11:27 Vicky isn't reading this blog presently. Also, she doesn't need to answer to silly accusations. She's a better person than that. Vicky is a very busy person at all times, but she especially has a lot on her plate right now. This blog isn't even on her radar.
`12:37 I sure dont buy that!
2:43 Think about someone other than yourself. Right now, she is busy campaigning and she just moved her daughter back from Fort Hood TX bc her husband deployed to Iraq 4 days ago. Be a little more thoughtful! Obviously, she has more pressing things than sitting around reading these silly or malicious posts.
2:57 A crock.
You got that right 3:44!
I had no clue that Vicky Harwell had a son-in-law in the Army. As a veteran, I take back any mean-spirited thing I have ever said or posted about her. Thank you to her son-in-law for his service to this country, and also to the Harwell family bc those who wait, also serve.
3:51 That seems to be the problem with lots of people on this blog. They spout off without knowing details of the whole story, details that sometimes might make them feel differently about a situation.
Vicky's son-in-law being in the military doesn't earn her any brownie points. If we are going to give credit, give it where it is due. To the son-in-law. Besides, what does that have to do with anything being discussed here.
I believe the poster was simply saying that she is busy with other things than reading this blog, nothing to do with brownie points. But that was nice of you to throw a snide remark in there.
Too busy to read this blog and keep up with the latest. Please, you can stop with the tomfoolery.

Why wasn't 12:13 deleted?
I'm not WAB but wondering if What 11:15 said in her/his post?
Was replied to by 12:13. Just wondering.
What 11:15 said must apply to me, you and a lot of others because we read this blog.
I tried to read the infantile rambling of Harwell/Miller but had to give it up it was so senseless.
7:50 is WAB. Those are the anatagonistic type of words he uses.
10:26
Where is wab's post at 7:50? I can't find it. Did he remove it so people couldn't read it? What an incredible laugh.
I am Whitt Miller!
There was no post from wab at 7:50. Don't let the hate of 10:26 blind you
This is the first time I have been on this blog in months - interesting about the a/c issue. I know Mr. Holt is not perfect (who is?) but I don't believe that he intentionally forced our school children to sit in 90 degree classrooms. A/C units in all public buildings, homes, etc. are doing all they can do in our extreme heat wave during the month of August. Yes, maintenance workers are probably also doing all they can do to service the entire school system. Why couldn't the teacher or teachers just move the children into a different location during this crisis? For example, cancel library classes that day/days and set up class in there. Or music. Or Guidance. There is generally a reasonable solution to this type of problem that may be a headache but could be managed on a temporary basis. Come on people - get real. Whoever Whitt Miller is - sounds like he/she really needed to thoroughly investigate BOTH sides of this situation before making such a biased uproar in the local newspaper!!!!!
I agree air conditioners are being over worked in this heat and can't do any more. Someone in an earlier post said an air conditioner could only cool it 20 degrees from outside. I disagree with that. Had that been so all the rooms would of been that hot.
As for the teacher moving the students to another room... that's up to the principal if they can be moved.
6:06 Ask your HVAC man. He will confirm the 20 degree thing.
If it' 90 degrees outside my house will be 74 like I set it.
My question is was some of the rooms cooler than the one mentioned? Was something wrong with the air conditioner, was it even working?
Complain under a false name and everything is ok
complain under your real name and you get labled a troublemaker
Seems like something is upside down
7:13 Excellent point!
Good old Whitt was bouncing around the court room trying to garner votes for mayor. Guess stink weed by any other name is just as obnoxious.
Only thing more distracting was her daughter waddling outside every few minutes and talking on the phone on her way out.
wab
Accdording to YOUR rules, the 4:36 post needs to be deleted. Be consistent and remove it. It's pure trash.
Mrs. Harwell was there in support of Mrs. Coleman and the election commission staff.
wrong 6:02 she was there pretending to be a secretary for her son so she could be in the spot light and get support from the black vote. I know you can't be truthful but at least try and get something right sometime.
While I find some of the above post to be personally vile and offensive I have chosen to not delete them since they are already posted and focus instead on future post. Allen Barrett
From what I heard, the only one who waddled around in court was Melissa Morris. Vicky Harwell's daughter has a husband serving in Iraq right now, so, obviously she'd answer the phone. How rude can you be? Of course old Barrett would leave that post because it is making fun of the child of people he's jealous of.
I was at court yesterday. K. Harwell only walked out 2 times, not every other minute. I'd answer the phone to speak to my wife if she was serving in the War.
7:40 She is his paralegal, so it was her job to be there.
wab
Isn't that a bit unbecoming of a "man of God" to allow vile and offensive posts? I would think you would be more concerned with future readers than with future posts that might be deleted at YOUR discretion.
4:48 When are you going to accept this blog belongs to WAB and he can manage it any way he wants.
5:50 She'll never get that through her head. Don't you think it's strange how she talks about the way Barrett should act, but never thinks what Jesus thinks about the way she talks about Barrett.
yea bc Jesus likes it when you allow hurtful things to be written about people. its one thing to talk about a candidate, its another thing to make fun of a candidates child. if i was vickie or terry id be contacting barrett
If you believe in the Bible. Jesus don't like it when Barrett says things about other people. He don't like it when others on her say things about other people and he don't like it when you say things about Barrett.
The rules aren't just for a few people and some can get by with little silly ways. It's for everybody.

To 9-11: I have two children that a special needs children. If you do not have a child with a handicapping condition then hit your knees and thank God. And if you aren't retarded then while your down there ask God for forgiveness for making fun of those with special needs. You should be ashame.
Sunday, September 12, 2010 9:23:00 PM
I tried to find the post about special needs children. If someone said anything about special needs children, they should be ashame. I just can't find the post. Please tell which one it was.
To 10 Sept. 4:48PM who said "wab

Am I to be responsible for what other might say? Are you responsible for what others say or do? You don't even take responsibility for what you say.
I agree with you that some of the post lately have been in violation of the blog rules and have been in some cases extremely distasteful, vile and offensive on every level but since those things have already been posted and read by others to delete them now would be more disruptive than necessary. Allen Barrett
Mr. Barrett, you allowed someone's weight to be made fun of. Is that less important than upsetting who wrote it? What has Vickie's daughter done to uspset you? Think about her feelings. People may have already seen it but it is still on here in black and white as a constant reminder. Be a gentleman and delete it. And before you accuse me of being someone close to her, I'm not. We are simply acquaintances. I know her as well as I know my mailman. I am also a heavier woman, and I know how words like that can hurt. Please don't put your need to get your point across over her feelings. It bothered me to read it, so it would have to upset her. Please just take it into consideration.
To 10:58 I appreciate your thoughts, if you have ever seen me you know that I'm not the skinniest kid on the block.
I agree the person who made those comments should be ashamed. They violated the rules of the blog and the post should be deleted but since the statement was already posted what can be accomplished by deleting it now?
Allen Barrett
I see no statement poking fun at someone's weight. So, now I guess some are getting mad at what others could say versus what they do say?? Please point out to me where such a statement is made, as I have read and reread and have come up empty handed.
1:13 read a little better. Check post Friday, September 10, 2010 4:36:00 AM. The word "waddled" is a reference to weight. Before you get smart and say people are mad about nothing, check better.
WAB the post wasnt talkin about your weight. dont try to say bc you are overweight that it makes it ok to talk about someone else. you get offended by being called a liar. you delete stuff about people callin you a liar. callin you hefty may not make you mad but callin you a liar sure does. seems hypocritical to me.
I took your advice and checked 3:06. I still see no mention of "weight" or "fat". You draw your own conclusions. How ugly of you to suggest that someone was referring to a person in that context by speaking about how they walk. I see where you mind is. Always looking for the negative in anything anyone says that doesn't agree with you. Spoiling for a fight I must say. Don't be so shallow. Relax for a change and stop looking for reasons to get angry. Your health will thank you.
Waddled is certainly a derogatory term when used in reference to a human being. He knows that, but the posts are alloowed as long as he (barrett) is in agreement with them. But he uses the lame excuse that the posts might as well stay on the blog since others have read them. What an ever-loving crock.
Look 4:49 I did not write the post you continue to reference and I have condemned those who violate the rules of this blog and post such offensive remarks, However I can not change the fact that they have already been posted and read by others therefore deleting them after the fact can serve no purpose. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to what should be done now to correct this situation. Should the person who posted be deleted simply because they broke the rules? Allen Barrett
wab
Accdording to you, such posts should be removed as soon as they are discovered. Isn't that right, or does it depend on whether or not you like the posts?
WAB it shouldn't only be deleted bc it broke the rules. It is very hurtful and inhuman. can you use some humanity?
I'm cancelling my paper this week. Vicki Harwell's article makes it unfit to even wrap fish in.
What article? Are you saying that Vickie is writing Whitts Well. Well she is not I am Whit Miller and proud of it. I do not want anyone taking my credit.
Unless you are Vicki Harwell you are a liar to claim you are Whitt Miller.
10:17 Too many people have known for a long time that Vickie Harwell is Whitt Miller. Did Bill Holt ever get his phone call?
Is this a hint that barrett and company will now begin a trash and smear campaign against Mrs. Harwell like they did Mrs. Vanzant? I wonder.
Where have you been 11:19 Vickie has already been talked about on this blog even her daughter and the funny part was I thought of baby ducks when they said she waddled. But the perfect one keep on so much I decided she must weigh a little more that the perfect thought she should.
wab
Will you allow the trash posted at 5:14 to stay on the blog since others have already seen it? If you do, you are even more despicable than I thought you to be.
Can you people leave Vicky's children off of this blog? They aren't running for office, so they don't need to be on this trashy website.
wab
Let me ask you again. Will you not remove the 5:14 post? I'll bet it would have already been gone had it been in reference to one of your loved ones.
You know, people get hurt or killed over such inflammatory remarks, and you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing it to stay on here. Oh, but I forgot. Since people have read it, you see no sense in removing it. What a crock!!!! Take it off before it goes any further! You know better than this.
Here's the thing 6:20 even your threats to kill me don't scare me so save your threats.
The post is left on here because of your own suggestion. You have been a strong advocate of not having a remedy for wrongdoing. Remember you said basically, Mrs Bassham made a mistake but the voters have spoken so you can't change the outcome. Well the people have spoken and decided that even though it was wrong to post something like the one you refer to, because it's already done why change it now. Does it make any sense, not to me but then it's your rules that I am going by. If bad behavior has no consequence why would anyone do the right thing unless it was to their advantage. If there is no remedy for wrong actions taken against others people will naturally do as they please without fear of repercussions. If you find the post unacceptable remember it's your rules that has allowed it to stay.
Allen Barrett
barrett
I NEVER threatened to kill you. Are you that ignorant or do you see this as yet another opportunity to stir up trouble where it doesn't exist? What I SAID is that people get hurt or killed over such inflammatory remarks and that you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing such rubbish to stay on this blog. You just told another lie. Do you plan to have me arrested for threatening to "kill" you? What a crock!
I just checked and was shocked to see that you did not remove that 5
:14 post. Shame on you. I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Harwell are just as shocked as I am. What if someone said nasty things about your children, oh man of outspoken integrity and common sense?
What I said about the elction commission's making a mistake is the same thing they as well as Judge Jones said. YOU lost, and the voters did not want you. Get over it!
5:06 well said.
To 17 Sept 6:20AM
You stated, "You know, people get hurt or killed over such inflammatory remarks, and you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing it to stay on here. Oh, but I forgot. Since people have read it, you see no sense in removing it. What a crock!!!! Take it off before it goes any further! You know better than this."
If that isn't an outright threat it is at least a veiled, implied threat. Of course no one would expect you to take responsibility for that statement, but it speaks for itself.
You have been the most verbal supporter of the idea just because a rule has been broken doesn't mean there should be a penalty or remedy sought for it. It's your reasoning or lack of that has led me to leave the offending post in place. Allen Barrett
Would someone please explain to the paranoid schizophrenic that saying some0one is likely to get hurt of killed over inflammatory remarks left on this blog is NOT a threat to him personally? He is either ignorant or is just tryuing to stir up more trouble. In addition to that, would someone please explain to barrett that I only made that statement out of concern for the one who might one day push someone over the edge. For Heaven's sakes!

I thought you was telling Barrett that someone might hurt him. Which I thought you was just hoping.
2:01
Wrong! You would need help to misunderstood what was said. Did barrett offer his intellectual assistance?
3:24 I don't know Barrett anymore than I do you just the stupity I read on here.
You sure get your drawers in a wad when people don't understand what you meant.
2:19
I think the writer got his or her drawers in a wad because of the smart aleck remark you made that he hoped for WAB to have some sort of misfortune.
That's the way I read his remark. So live with it.
12:39
Well, you misunderstood what appears to me to be quite easy to decipher. Nobody threatened the exalted one, and he knows it.
THE POSTER WAS SIMPLY STATING THAT, WHEN PEOPLE SAY VERY MALICIOUS THINGS ABOUT SOMEONE'S CHILD, THE PERSON WHO SAID IT CAN GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. QUIT TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE THAN IT WAS. THE ONLY THING HE WAS SAYING TOWARDS BARRETT WAS THAT IT WAS WRONG OF HIM NOT TO REMOVE THE POST.
3:13 you are a big fat liar 3:13 and a coward to boot, Barrett never said anything about anyone's daughter he even stated that he was disgusted by any post where a non public figure was attacked or even discussed. Grow up you sniveling little cowardly liar.
I wonder if 4:13 is barrett posting anonymously. The name-calling and sentence structure are so incredibly similar.
I don't see the similarity, Janet.
