Again, I don’t answer to anybody. I checked the original post–it was confusing and appeared to me as if Smitty wrote it. It was my mistake, regardless of who forwarded what–I take responsibility for it, because that is the way I interpreted Smitty’s post also. Words like “I need to, I ought to–”–I don’t really care. That’s my last word on the issue, but talk it up until you all melt.

Actually, it was Gillian that sent it to me, no it was X-Files, no it actually was Dave Burris, no I mean Maria Evans–The real truth is– it was Homer!

Sorry Jud, but your explanation doesn’t cut it. If you forwarded an email that you received from someone else and that email had been edited, then shame on you for not checking the original source. But, more importantly, you should tell everyone who forwarded you the email, full of spite towards the rest of the rest of party that, as RSmitty observes, and as you concede, is connected with whomever sent out the pink postcards. If you find the postcards as offensive as you claim, then you ought to pass along any information which might be helpful.

I’m still hoping that X-Files was Gillian Anderson and not David Duchovny.

X-Files,
Be advised, that I always take full responsibility for anything I say or forward on the Coastal Network. I’ve already cleared up the misunderstanding for RSmitty’s benefit. I don’t need to do anything else nor do I intend to. That’s the end of it from my perspective.

RSmitty,
If, as you observe, Jud was forwarding an email that he received; and, if as you observe, whoever forwarded the email to Jud altered your posting (to make it appear as though you posted the original disparaging comments), then Jud needs to come clean and tell us who forwarded him the altered email. WHO WAS IT JUD?

Compared to the stuff said about you and I at DL, it seems quite tame, Art. Maybe I shouldn’t use that standard, but I have had a lot worse said about me in a political context. I agree with you that these skewers are not serious dialog.

That is why I enjoyed the Cheney vs. Obama duel. That was a real dialog about the security of America even though they weren’t in the same building. We could use more of that.

Apparently, it is a great thing to be able to skewer people in anonymity. Notes Dave

Perhaps this is the electronic analog to anonymous notes on bathroom walls. Note how few op ed pieces are unsigned. Not everyone with an attitude has the courage of their convictions.

Very true, but she did talk about coffees hence the satirical takeoff. Apparently, it is a great thing to be able to skewer people in anonymity. I can’t believe that it gets so much play.

..Cathy Murray was elected to vice chair. A person who has the number of coffee parties she has hosted on her resume. No clue and nothing to add…

She does a lot more than host parties. She is ubiquitous at almost every event and I have seen her pounding the pavement more than once. I cannot remember when she failed to attend and RD committee meeting.

How many ‘mouse potatoes’ are regular attendees at RD and County meetings? How many host fundraisers at their homes? How many regularly knock on doors?
