[RP TownTalk] What grocery store?

[Melissa Avery]

Why do you characterize  opposition to  this development as"underlying distrust of successful businessmen"?
Personally I do not distrust successful business people, I distrust ignorant citizens with obvious  agendas.

Chris I would suggest that we also
beware of the unsubstantiated accusation and innuendo.

To my knowledge no one has provided any solid information to support the suggestion that Cafritz plans on, or foresees, any change in the anchor store of their proposed project.

Although everyone is free to express their opinion(s), when those opinions are based on an underlying distrust of successful businessmen, not facts, the distinction needs to be highlighted.

As we all know planting seeds of doubt, rumors, leaves others in the position of defending themselves by trying to prove a negative. Innuendo and rumor do take on a life of their own and if repeated often enough, begin to influence people's opinion.

TownTalk, I think, has always been above that trying to use _facts_ to inform people and their opinions.
