On July 1st 2015 Olympia Treasure Sam Miller was banned from commenting on The Olympians Facebook Page after they posted an article about a new type of "Thin" Oreo Cookie to which h responded "Will it be as thin as your paper?". This comment was hilarious and factual seeing as how The Olympian Newspaper has become very, very, thin, literally and figuratively. In the past Sam had recently received feedback, negative feedback, but feedback nonetheless, after another hilarious and accurate statement about the relevance of our once proud local newspaper. Tell The Olympian to let me comment on their page.

The Olympian continues to hide behind their block button because they cannot handle the truth about their thinning pages. They are terrified of a little bit of honesty so they just silence anyone who hits a nerve. Keep the pressure on these cowards until they stop censoring the public.

I have read more Oltmpuan articles this year because of Sam. I don't always agree with Sam but always appreciate that he's taking the time to engage in the community. Olympia needs more than one point of view! Thanks for your two cents, Sam!
Sam Miller is the fake comedy news anchor of Olympia. His open-mic series does much to document Olympia culture through comedy. Banning him from your page is a serious blow to the integrity of your fellow fake news publication. You two should be allied in your efforts to produce fake news.
I think Sam's input is humorous while being scathing and on point. And I've noticed he actually edits before posting, something the Olympian fails at.
Social media foul. You really should have a better Director of Digital ~ it's a serious job. But this is s rookie mistake ~ never censor and engage. It's the rule of the times.
Sadly this petition has more insight, information and entertaining comments than anything I've read in The Olympian. Where the paper does beat out Sam is in paid advertising. Last week's Tuesday paper had 5 paid ads versus zero for Sam's petition.
This is ridiculous! Stop censoring your audience. This is a marketplace for ideas. If you can't take it, look the other way or change your business model.
Sam is relevant! Let him comment!

I have seen all kinds of comments from other people spewing hateful, racist garbage but you are going to ban someone for making a joke? This is ridiculous.
