Why not merge blogs?

I just received a letter from a moderator on the F.O.R.E blog.  It requested no copying of their material to this blog.  Based on past practice, I will consider removing the previous two posts in question and will comply with the request on future posts.  In addition, I would like to propose an idea.  This blog has been "live" for a few years now, has been mentioned in the Lee Town Crier, at various school and town meetings, published in Durham's Friday Updates, advertised locally, and also has ~3x the amount of fans on our Facebook page.  If the F.O.R.E authors would like, why not post your articles and ideas here?  In the past, I have asked for input on all sides of an argument.  Clearly, there is a need to vent and post interesting articles and commentary regarding our district.  Why not consolidate in one location, with one link, and one Facebook/Twitter profile.

We differ on the use of comments in both sites but I believe there is room for compromise in this area using comment moderation.

By consolidating the information and articles from all stakeholders, this will create a much more cohesive and centralized source for information.

Thoughts?
