Ruffled feathers

I seem to have irritated a member of Rowlett's City Council.  I received the following email from Tammy Dana-Bashion:
_____________________________________
Article
"Glad you fixed my name on your article. Not sure why the personal attack. Seems petty. Also please don't write that I am running for mayor when you have no knowledge of this."

______________________________________________________________________




I responded with the following email:

______________________________________


"So noted.  Name was my bad.  All else my opinion.  I'll keep my opinions, thank you.  Glad to have you as a reader." ______________________________________________________________________

Ms. Dana-Bashian again wrote:

______________________________________

"Well that certainly helps me solidify my opinion of you.  I don't do public attacks and I certainly don't have the desire to deal with people who do."

_______________________________________

Let's take a look at this exchange.

I acknowledged my bad about the name.  I meant to use the name "Tammy," as I did earlier in the post.  However, I have some friends named "Dana" and when I was typing out the post, knowing Tammy's last name was "Dana-Bashion", the name "Dana" just came thru my fingertips.  I was in too big a hurry.  I posted the article before I realized the mistake.  When I later spotted the mistake, I changed it.   Now, let's see.  Just what about this is a public attack?  It was sloppy to just use part of her hyphenated last name, but it was still her name.  Is that a public attack?




The other thing I said was that she was going to run for mayor.  Of course, that is my opinion.  However, that opinion was based on a statement made by a trusted source that said Tammy made that statement in their presence.  I will be most happy to depose that individual if the need ever arises.  But, in any event, was this a public attack?  Is the position of mayor so odorous that my opinion of running for mayor is a public attack?  My goodness.  Things are worse than I thought.




Unless accusing Ms. Dana-Bashion of reading my blog is a public attack, I can't think of any other commentary that was made in my email.




There is one more tiny weenie little thought.  Did a setting member of Rowlett's City Council just announce that she didn't like dealing with citizens whose opinion differs from hers?  That's a pretty slippery slope.




I think we just got a glimpse of a pretty thin-skinned elitist.
