I'll never call my store QFC, it's Kienows! Yeah, I said it, unchallenged, unquestioned, but, totally believable.

With so many critical issues not getting an appropriate level of attention and leadership I find it nearly insulting that such petty controversies are so consuming and stirring.

SRenee is quickly disintegrating into the same state of incoherence to which Jonathan Nicholas succumbed. She reaches...she tries...but she might as well just make stuff up. Another O columnist who fills space with irrelevant drivel.

Fred?....Sandy?....offer her a package.....clear the decks before the whole listing tub sinks.

S. Renee Mitchell has zero credibility with me since her Starbucks rant and seeming lack of concern with the effects of her actions.

I'm a person of color. That color just happens to be pinkishwhite.

History is a good enough reason to oppose the name changes.

The trouble and expense of renaming is yet more reason.

Confusion among travellers is a final reason.

None have anything whatever to do with racism.

I'd be perfectly happy with naming a new school, bridge, public building or whatever, after Cesar Chavez. I'd even be behind a statue in a park or something.

I just disagree with renaming major arterials in a willy-nilly fashion.

Renee? I don't read her drivel. She has no skills, and no regard for what happens when her efforts are published. I was thoroughly unimpressed by her follow up on the Starbucks thing.

She needs to be shown the door. And yeah, I'd say the same thing if she was a white male oppressor like me.

I fell back to sleep halfway through the first paragraph this morning. Incoherent.

That is some very, very poor writing.

After some effort, I make it out as "Now play nice".

Not well-written though, and it's not entirely clear if the author is following her own advice.

Racism is bad and don't try to swim across the Ocean.

Obviously it's time to move that gal to the editorial page.

It's too bad the former Starbucks manager doesn't sue Mitchell. I would love to see that; and even would be willing to contribute $1-2,000.00 of my own money to make it happen.

Well...I guess she is entitled to her opinion. However she obviously knows nothing about the ocean. The undertows are near the shores not in the middle of the oceans. One could hypothesize she is as ignorant of local issues as she is of ocean currents.
She needs to go away.

She is just a painfully bad writer and needs to go away on that basis alone. And because bad writing is an equal opportunity offense, ditto for for Margie Boule. Then again, this is the O, so what do you expect?
