It's An Ongoing Dilemma

I am still marvelling at the opportunity for instant communication. I value the feedback. It makes no difference to me if people don't identify themselves.

It may be fanciful and I don't want to be condescending but I think some respondents may be discovering a new outlet for expression. Like I did.

Sometimes a comment indicates a lot of thought with only one discordant note. It 's probably self-indulgent on my part but I don't want to reject it.

There's a thoughtful one in the comment box now that ends with a suggestion of physical harm towards the Mayor . I know I can't publish it but I wish I could explain why . So I keep it.

I agree hyperbole can detract from logical argument.

But I'm reluctant to throw away a contribution to the discussion as if it doesn't count.

There is such a thing as poetic licence. I know it's not that. But maybe there should be a parallel
figure of speech for the new dimension. I did think twice about posting the comment. Then I thought I would publish it for a little while then "collapse" it.

Now I find because there is only one comment to that post, the " collapse" option isn't available. .

Sometimes I feel guilty that Phyllis is the probably the first Mayor of Aurora to be subject to this new communication .

Then the terrible twins will do something else that makes it easy.

I've been in politics a long time. It doesn't grow you a thick skin like people imagine. It keeps you on your toes in the thrust and parry. What they do to me is not what matters. I can be quite clinical

It's what they've done to people who couldn't fight back that brings out the worst in me.

I have never claimed to be a saint. Not even to myself.
