[RP TownTalk] Decorum

[Liz Bolin]

Jonathan, I find it off-putting that many (very possibly valid) questions are put forth in a forum that is limited access....in that, many of the town citizens likely don't access this site or email list due to language barriers, having the proper technology at home, etc.  Therefore, I support these discussions in a more inclusive forum.  Also, as Heather said, this is not part of the record of our governance.  
 
It's not that you are not asking and answering questions, good ones at times.  The venue and approach strikes me as exclusive and contrary to our values as a government.
 
If you work out of state, and yet still want to positively influence your town government, perhaps it is time for you to find a more effective method.  What you are doing is obviously not working.  
 
That said, I support your right to continue to post here on whatever topic is allowed by the moderator.  Just know that I've effectively tuned most of what you post out, because I feel there is already a channel for you to handle your questions.  
 
But, thanks for asking!
 
Liz

Allison/Heather/Liz
 
How is it passive aggressive to ask direct questions backed up with a plethora of data?  I am using the means I have available to me.  Again if you or anyone cares to debate the facts please present your argument.  Telling me to shut up
 and go away because I present issues, topics, etc. that are uncomfortable to deal with is anti-democratic.
 
>From what I have been told Vernon actually had quite the hand in creating this list serve for this EXACT purpose back when he was trying to take former Mayor Guy Tiberio down over the lack of open and transparent government via the Field
 of Dreams.  That predates me so I will let Vernon opine in.
 
How do you presume I should go to meetings and ask questions?  As I have stated numerous times, I work out of state.  I am in Maryland maybe a handful of days a month currently.  You may all grow tiresome of tone, tenor, the questions etc.
 because I get it – it is much easier to ignore the issues vs. asking elected officials to actually answer questions asked.
 
I ask all of you – name a single time, one single time in which I did not in five years answer any questions posed to me.  The double standard is ridiculous.
