As a frequent reader and letter writer to New Times, please allow me to comment on Steve Moss.
I take no pleasure in Mr. Moss’ passing, but feel the community has lost little. The Shredder exemplifies tabloid journalism at its worst. Mr. Moss was both radical and disrespectful. Telling those who disagree with him about alcohol to “shut up” shows no manners, morals, nor common sense. There is no place for such swill in any publication that purports to mirror community opinion, so I will not shut up!
Perhaps if Mr. Moss had not abused
alcohol, he might’ve lived past 56. Goodbye, Mr. Moss.
