This is pretty outrageous.
Whether or not Mark Goins had anything to do with this, it is clearly way past time for him to go.

The Battle of Athens is a great story that I didn't know a thing about.
Evidently this guy really pissed somebody off. The SOSs behavior sounds like official oppression.

Further update: Nashville
