New Canaan resident Kate Regan, who was charged in Nov. 2010 in a hit-and-run case after the death of a town resident, made a brief appearance at state Superior Court in Norwalk Tuesday morning where her case was continued until March 12, according to the New Canaan Advertiser.
Tuesday's appearance was Regan's 21st since being charged with negligent homicide and leaving the scene of an accident, the Advertiser also states.
Regan allegedly drove away after hitting 82-year-old Krishna S. Jayaraman of New Canaan with her vehicle. Jayaraman was standing at a mailbox on Oenoke Ridge Road near the Pound Ridge border when a car struck him, according to police. In November, Regan turned herself in to police after they applied for a warrant for her arrest.
Jayaraman's family later filed a civil suit against Regan seeking damages.

http://www.ncadvertiser.com/18622/for-21st-time-oenoke-ridge-hit-and-run-case-continued/ While I don't condone calling Mrs. Regan (or any woman) a "broad", I have no problem with people discussing this online. Many residents want to know when and how this case gets resolved, and I'm certain that more will be inquiring around March 12th as to its status. And as far as "carnage" goes...I think that is a poor choice of words to describe an online discussion given the details of this tragic event.
The advertiser for example makes people register. To see their posts on the story you have to log in. When the story rolls off the top page that's it, on to the next. It doesn't continue to advertise it's blogs like the patch does on it's home page. It's not a bulletin board for anyone who wants to anonymously rant. You are trying to make the connection of an intellectual conversation and a blog/chat room. I think you are smart enough to know that they are miles apart. Btw, the word carnage was referring to the arguments that ensue after a specific story is written or post was made. Specifically when you watch the name calling start and insults fly. The Patch is the Promoter and the Ref in the fight. If you don't realize it....you are indeed a FOOL.
I do agree that Patch has been guilty of overcoverage (donkey vs. dogs was done to death) but how much of their blogs are "advertised", I won't pretend to know as I'm unsure of what that means. I do question whether your issue is with the format and not with the content itself? Do you feel there should be tighter restrictions on what people can post, anonymously and not? That sounds a bit like censorship. And perhaps I am overly idealistic to hope that this can be discussed without name-calling. After all, you called me a "fool", so my optimism is probably unrealistic.
