If it felt like this morning’s 6:49 a.m. Earthquake was right underneath you … it was (nearly)! The USGS is reporting that the 4.0 magnitude quake was along the Hayward fault with an epicenter just two miles away in Piedmont. There were no immediate reports of damage or injury and BART reported minimal delays (another reminder to get that Go-Bag prepared that you’ve been putting off!).

  1. E’Ville Eye readers will recall the editor, Rob Arias, claims the Emeryville Tattler censors comments that are critical it it, it’s editor Brian Donahue, Residents United for a Livable Emeryville (RULE) or the progressive City Council. Readers of the Tattler know this claim by Rob Arias is false. In fact negative comments are a regular thing at the Tattler. Since Rob continues to ply his readers with his canard about censorship and to the extent any of you might believe him, I give to you the Tattler E’Ville Eye Negative Comment Clearinghouse. It’s a place where all the latest from the E’Ville Eye haters are assembled into one place at the Tattler. You can check it out here: http://emeryvilletattler.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-tattler-eville-eye-hostile-comment.html

  2. So you are providing the service of allowing us to read the content of the Eville Eye on the Tattler blog? What exactly does that accomplish other than copyright infringement? Just link your readers to the Eville Eye if you want them to read what’s going on here. They are welcome to participate in the community!

  3. or was the RULE creating the earthquake to warn those on the Hayward’s Fault??!?! Just believe that we need to be reminded that we don’t want to get FRACKED by ignorance, right?

  4. The following two comments were just posted in the Tattler:

    OK Brian, I’ll indulge you. I just posted the comment below on your blog as well as The E’ville Eye on 8/18 at 9:47 A.M.

    So you’re claiming I have an obsession with Tattler … by reposting every comment on The E’ville Eye thread? Hmm … you are really letting your sociopathic behavior fly with this one Brian!

    Interesting (but not surprising) that your trying to vindicate yourself from censoring comments … by censoring comments! In particular you left out this comment in your “Clearinghouse” thread:

    “Let’s start by asking why you censored a comment I tried to post on your ‘The Face of Minimum Wage Workers’ article asking that you divulge that Elijah Esquibel was in fact on the board of Unite Here! 2850. Will you post this on the Tattler for me and possibly address why this didn’t meet your censorship standards?”

    So the “conversation” on the E’ville Eye was that at least 1/2 dozen people noted their comments were censored (in a post completely unrelated to Brian or the Tattler I might add, and one celebrating the construction of Emeryville’s first skatepark). Commenters and myself asked Brian if he wished to debunk this, to turn his comment moderation off. He thus far has not addressed this.

    Now Here’s the real test. Will you post the link to your council harassment accusation meltdown compilation video?
