* From a Northwest Herald editor…

Hey Rich,

I’m not sure what you’re relationship with Cal Skinner is, but he’s not a reliable source of information and he’s definitely not on the item you posted yesterday here: https://capitolfax.com/2019/10/31/judicial-candidate-slapped-with-emergency-no-stalking-order/

He intentionally left an incredibly key element of this story (Cal and the person who asked for the “no stalking” order are getting sued by McClellan) out.

We covered it here: https://www.nwherald.com/2019/10/31/former-county-clerk-says-risk-management-coordinator-filed-order-of-protection-as-retaliation/aujyw78/

* From the piece

Fake blood, a beheaded duck and a looming defamation lawsuit are at the center of a peculiar spat between a McHenry County judicial candidate and a group of anonymous blog commenters.

In a petition for an order of protection filed Friday, McHenry County Risk Management Coordinator Lisa Shamhart lodged a pair of bizarre accusations against former McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan. Shamhart said that McClellan and her husband, Ed Gil, are responsible for throwing fake blood at Shamhart’s door and leaving a beheaded duck on the woman’s doorstep.

  1. Spend a few minutes looking at the comments on Cal’s site and you will have new found appreciation for the efforts here.

  2. I came here to post literally the exact same thing that ‘What’s in a name?’ just said. I got a headache from reading Cal’s blog and comments and rushed back here for a badly needed dose of sanity.

    I’ll probably need more absolution in that CTU-Lightfoot thing. I’m trying.

    To the post,

    === He intentionally left an incredibly key element of this story (Cal and the person who asked for the “no stalking” order are getting sued by McClellan) out.===

    Can’t be the subject or part if the story and ignore that important part… of the same story.

    If the fact check is found to be ignoring immediate conflicts..,
