Monroe County Democrats are holding a caucus today to pick a new candidate for county council, a spot that opened when Julie Thomas was chosen to run for county commissioner. Thomas was chosen for that spot when Mark Stoops was chosen in a caucus to run for state senate, after Vi Simpson was chosen as John Gregg's running mate for lieutenant governor.
I checked both The Herald-Times and GovTracker on Twitter, and there's no news as of this posting as to who the Monroe County Democrats have picked in their 3:00 pm caucus today. I hope the Democrats have more sense than to pick Scott Wells to be the third candidate for county council.
A reasonable level of civility is expected. While it is expected that controversial political and social issues may generate heated debate, there are common-sense limits of civility that will be enforced.

Anonymity has greatly coarsened discourse on the Internet, so pseudonyms are discouraged but not forbidden. That said, any direct criticism of a person by name cannot be done anonymously. If you criticize someone, you have to subject yourself to the same level of scrutiny or the comment will be deleted.
