Many Thanks
Many thanks, Coyote, for a job well done, and for your efforts to make this web site the honest forum for discussion of local issues that it ought to be.
Sometimes public issues do turn on the character, or lack thereof, of a public official. Even then, however, it should be possible to be factual -- to spell out what, precisely, this public official has done.
Name-calling and insults are no substitute for that. Neither are exagerations, fabrications and lies. You've reminded us of that repeatedly, Coyote, to no avail.
I believe that the character assassination, profanity and threats are the work of a small handful of individuals. These folks would be scrawling their missives on bathroom walls if this web site were not available. But I cannot think of any obvious way to prevent such folks from using this web site that way. So I understand your decision.
May peace be with you.
