| I am sorry you felt the malevolent description was extreme. However, if you listen to the “voices” that word comes to mind. Joe, how many people do you know who have responded to a reporter’s questions and been misquoted or had their quote twisted into something they did not mean or horrors of horrors said something that was completely out of line with their intent. I could go on and on how interactions with the press and especially the slanted publication that chooses to inform the world, state or homeowners association. I have learned through experience that telling a reporter that I will get back to them on an issue I am not prepared to comment on saves a lot of headaches I understand that it is your role on the Forum is to provide observations and commentary on the inner workings of the community of Ocean Pines. In general, I usually agree with you. I also appreciate when you provide me with background on the community and its inhabitants before I became interested and/or involved in the community. As I observed your commentary, I envisioned your purpose is to stimulate conversation in the community. You have certainly stimulated me to become more involved in the community if only through comments on your forum. Just because ugly discourse, characterizations and misappropriations of individual actions have developed over time, does not mean that I have to act or react that way. As far as Colette goes; if I felt strongly enough about an issue, I would email her just like I would any other board member. When I first got interested in the community, I unfortunately did not email a board member directly. I did try to use the third person thus describing an action or behavior. However, that was not one of my finer decisions. As life does, it taught me a lesson. Unfortunately, the board member sent me a message through my husband. That was definitely not okay as if my husband controlled what I comment on. I informed my husband I don’t take messages through him and the next time the board member wanted to send a message he can call or email me. I do have limits and boundaries. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Thanks for the response. I know of no board member I would describe as malevolent. That is extreme. Now we have Horn still not issuing a correction to her quoted misinformation in an OPA press release. OPA politics evolved into a combat sport decades ago - for better or worse. |
