I agree, I don't think Sewickley Patch comment section is the place for divulging or implying personal information about people that are the subject of articles. That said, not sure what's more ridiculous and pathetic about the last comment: that stealing is no big deal because it's not prostitution; comparing the range of things that most of us "are not proud of" to stealing from countless local… more ›
