Guidelines for posting on bangordailynews.com

The Bangor Daily News encourages comments about stories, but you must follow our terms of service.

In brief:

1. Keep it civil and stay on topic
2. No vulgarity, racial slurs, name-calling or personal attacks.
3. People who harass others or joke about tragedies will be blocked.

The primary rule here is pretty simple: Treat others with the same respect you'd want for yourself. Here are some guidelines (see more):

It should be noted this is not a comprehensive list.

• Don't insult one another or the subjects of BDN stories. You may be ticked off at what someone did or said, but you can explain that without resorting to name-calling or obscenity. Remember that young people are on this site too.
• That nasty line that makes your buddies go "haw, haw"? You're better than that.
• Comments should be your own work, not copied and pasted from elsewhere, though brief quoted passages to make your point are fine. And please don't use all capital letters. There's no need to shout.
• Stay focused on the issue in the article. Off-topic posts will be deleted.
• This isn't a forum to chat about your personal life.
• Some ideas — the fate of the earth, abortion, gun control, the nature of God — aren't going to be resolved in a reader forum, so no need to get frustrated if others don't see your point of view. State your position once and leave it at that.
• If you mouse over each comment you will see a "Flag" button. Please use it if you feel comments on the site are out of line. Quite often, we won't see a comment until it's reported.
• Questions about why a comment was — or wasn't — deleted? E-mail us at web@bangordailynews.com and let us know your username and where you posted or saw the comment.

That's about it: Stick to writing about the stories; be civil; be kind; enlighten your neighbors. And we'll keep moderating posts to try to ensure everyone meets those standards.

  They once had a “semi-relationship” and they share a house.  So he went from boyfriend to landlord…..but he didn’t get the memo?

  I somehow don’t believe it. Is she disgruntled, is she up to date with her rent. What is her police record?
  The police want it both ways they arrest him for a “domestic” charge yet he is the landlord not the boyfriend. They should make up their mind.

  She didn’t wait a month. The story says mid-June. She probably went to the court and the clerk gave her the standard form and instructions. She fills it out and files it with the clerk. It gets put in the judge’s in basket. The judge looks it over and signs the order. She has to come back and get the signed orders. She brings a copy to the local PD to be served. July 5th (the day after a holiday weekend) the chief is reading it and decides to look into it further.

  Oh my goodness, mellow out.

  Read the article.

  I would not live with some horrible man that wants to rape me in HIS home. That does not make sense to not contact the police and to continue to live with him.

  Sounds like since he went to jail and now can not have contact with her that he most likely can not live in his home. Well isn’t that convienent.

  P.S. I am a landlord who has wonderful tenants. I have managed hundreds of apartments so I may have a little more insight as to what MAY be going on here.

  Yes, it would be interesting to hear the WHOLE truth, however, we never will since the Chief of Police has charged her Landlord with Domestic charges. There is a contradiction there that you don’t seem to understand.

  If he is guilty then he deserves what he gets, if she is lying then she should be charged.

  You may not know he’s horrible until he does something….horrible. Just because he is a landlord doesn’t mean he did nothing wrong. How do you know the WHOLE truth won’t come out.

  Rape is the only crime where the victim is accused regularly of lying for revenge; thank you very much for perpetuating that stereotype and allowing the continued justification for rape. You really are a quality human being.

• http://twitter.com/BlaqkPhoenix777 BlaqkPhoenix777

  Let’s be very clear here; If the landlord picked the lock; it means that he no longer lived with the victim. It wouldn’t have mattered though because even if he lived there and was married to her, he could still have raped her. It happens all the time. The victim might not have been able to move even if she felt she was in danger due to the fact that she could not afford to relocate. She didn’t report the rape til now because she did not know what to do; she most likely assumed that if she went to the police saying that a man she had a former relationship with had raped her, they wouldn’t believe her. Why would she believe such a thing? Well its because rape victims are seemingly the only victims that are blamed for being raped. We need to stop blaming the victim, and we need to stop making assumptions about the assailant. I am in hopes that they recovered some physical evidence of the crime in order to prosecute the correct person.

  I was falsely accused of harassing a woman and even pinning her against a wall.  This was supposedly going on for months before she reported it.  Never mind the fact that I’m gay and *I* liked to be pinned against a wall!  (tee-hee!)

  Anybody comes to me with a story like hers and I’m going to be thinking the first thing to do is get her moved. I don’t care if I have to buy an air mattress and sleep on the kitchen floor. The use of the word “landlord” can mean that he had an economic advantage over her. I’ve known people both male and female who got into a domestic situation where the other person was the owner or the only person on a lease. They put some money into it and sometimes they even put up half of whatever the other person had already paid out in apartment and utility deposits. When the relationship went sour, they were not in a position to pack up and move out immediately. It’s not as easy as some people might think.

  theycallmebruce, wow, another case of false rape accusation.
  Was this story in any papers? I hope the woman who falsely accused him serves as much as he would have.

  False rape accusation has become too common and it hurts real victims. False rape must be prosecuted.

  Doesn’t really sound much like “innocent until proven guilty” now does it? I’m not going to take sides here because I wasn’t there. This is why we have courts. Heaven forbid you are ever wrongly accused.

  Two words, Duke lacrosse. We shouldn’t assume she’s lying, just as we shouldn’t assume he’s guilty. The emotions she displays in the courtroom can hardly be considered as evidence. The idea that no woman would ever falsely accuse a man of rape, quite frankly, is absurd.

  People in love never lie to each other.

  Her: “Does this dress make me look fat?”

  Him: “No, you look great.”

  Her: “You’re so macho!”

  Him: “Muchas gracias.”

  Does he have an earring? If you are a grown man with an earring and don’t play pro sports it looks weird. Crazy story.

  hehehe…about 25 years ago, I watched my Lieutenant say something similar to my co-worker.  He said “Only two kinds of men wear earring(s)— swashbuckling pirates and stone cold f ags and since you’re not a swashbuckling pirate, you must be a…..”

  ….I must admit, I laughed myself silly ’till I had tears out the corners of my eyes.  also, like Buzlno said—I can’t remember which ear signifies that.

  I was falsely accused of harassing a woman and even pinning her against a wall. This was supposedly going on for months before she reported it. Never mind the fact that I’m gay and *I* liked to be pinned against a wall! (tee-hee!)****************************************************
  Joe, don’t you know what alot of women say among ourselves about handsome gay men? We say “god! what a waste!”  We kinda take it personally when we can’t attract a handsome man. Please, don’t blame her for her fantasies….  :-(

  I remember riding around with friends when that song would come on the radio. We just had to sing along with it. It’s one of those songs that provokes even the super shy types to sing along.

  Hi Violet, I checked out the site http://www.fillerfund.com and I will say that this is very sad. What really upsets me is that the DA’s are more interested in winning cases and supporting law inforcement regardless of the accused actually being guilty. The system is truly flawed and I believe alot of attorneys/DA’s are in it for the money and their super inflated ego. It should be about true fact finding. I image this man spent every last penny he had or did not have a good defense because of lack of money. In the meantime while his disgruntled wife accuses him of everything under the sun after he wants to split with her I would imagine that mortagages and car payments and bills to support a household and children were not being paid. They both suffer for this, we as tax payers suffer and the children have no parents.
