Chris Watts is being critical of me again this morning..
Chris is half my age . His percentage of life experience considerably less than that.
His complaint against me this morning is that I do not read another Councillor's blog.
I read Chris's blog. I respect him by responding rationally to a rational argument.
I do not cast aspersions on his personality or his integrity.
How does one respond to being called "childish" by a person half one's age?
Am not....Are so...Am not...Are so. ...Thwhack!
That would be childish. No doubt infuriating .. Possibly ending up with a bruise or a black eye or two. Most certainly with a loss of dignity.
So how does one respond?
I was thinking with pleasure of how well residents responded to quell the Mormac Hydra rearing heads again.
Responses yesterday were fast and furious. I published as fast as they came in. It feels like a task and a worthwhile endeavor.
Then suddenly, out of the blue, someone I respect tells me I'm childish.
I read all of his posts. I never think of him being childish.
I often think he has lessons to learn . I don't say so. It would be condescending, patronising and offensive. Life will teach him. Or not. It's not my place.
I don't tell people what or how to think. Only how I think.
Nor, Young Christopher, is it your place to tell me I am childish
Your erudition in the field of new or not so new media technology
does not give you that right.

Sometimes I think Christopher feels left out of the fray but he has designed his own website so that it is not conducive to the rapid to and fro of Evelyn's.
Back to an old subject, please.
Are we finished with dealing with the Jazz Gang? Do they have another kick at the can? In all the confusion and rhetoric, I lost sight of anything except the refusal to cede park rental fees. Is the event now for 4 days with a fully fenced park? Are there extra funds that can be granted by staff members without resorting to Council approval?
Basically, how badly are we getting ripped off?
Evelyn:
What you have learned to do since your blog first appeared is nothing short of miraculous.
Chris Watts is something of an expert in this field, at least I judge so from the sophistication of what he presents on his blog from time to time.
I would have thought that instead of criticism he should have offered constructive suggestions that would permit you to advance technically, if that is what you want.
I guess that is something for the two of you to work out.
Unfortunately I do not communicate with him as to do so requires me to reveal my identity, something I am not prepared to do for him or anyone. He considers me cowardly for this which is his privilege; I can assure him I am not.
