Let’s be civil. The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste.

These telemarketers are crazy. I threatened to call the police on one, pointing out he was violating several laws (pre-recorded message, auto-dialing a mobile phone, failing to identify himself). He dared me to, telling me that I’d never figure out who he was.
I filed an FCC complaint. I got a form letter back saying that my (clearly documented) complaint had no evidence of any violation. Sheesh… if that’s what the FCC thinks, then no wonder they do this - the government agency charged with enforcement of the regulations doesn’t care.
