Has the editorial staff gone off the deep end? The editorial in Sunday's edition was almost threatening in nature.
I have appreciated much of the reporting on the Snow Creek controversy over the proposed biodiesel plant, but this commentary was way over the line. The lines about people living in glass houses made the hair stand up on my neck.
For your words to imply "friends in high places" and then recommend the Iredell Residents for Rural Life "be prepared to invest in bulletproof windows" makes it sound like a threat on the lives of those residents. If the R&L cannot report or comment on hot issues without sending no-so-veiled threats, perhaps the staff should let someone else cover this sort of story. If I lived on Snow Creek Road, I would be worried. My prayers are for all the residents of this area, that a peaceful resolution come in this controversial situation. It would certainly help if the editorial board would stick to factual reporting and steer away from threatening jargon.

I, too, was upset by the editorial. It seemed to almost encourage battle between these two groups. A logical and reasonable solution should be found. I believe that is possible.
