" To Maggie:
Ms. Grimes stated, "Staggs reported a total of $12,704 in funds raised, with a majority of that coming from a personal loan taken out by Staggs."
"Raising money" does not necessarily imply obtaining money from others, as you apparently assume in your attack on Ms. Grimes.
But, even if it did, how does a poor choice of word deserve a "shame on you"?
Shame on YOU for such a thoughtless attack. "

" NEGODKIA - It deserves a "shame on you" for the simple fact that the woman is supposedly an "award" winning reporter and as such should know how to properly report the news, using proper spelling, grammar, and sentence composition not to mention proper "word choice". "
