What?????

Elizabeth Bishenden has left a new comment on your post "It Is Misinformation":

Steve Falk has expressed his opinion about the future of the Aurora Jazz Festival. If you disagree with it, feel free, but stick to the argument. Implying, especially if done anonymously, that he holds that opinion because his wife works at the ACC is scurrilous and undermines any pretense of sensible discussion on your part.

I don't know about "scurrilous" Elizabeth. 
What we do here is  exchange tid- bits of  information  that may or may not be meaningful.

Tell-tale Tit
Your tongue may be slit  
And  every little puppy dog 
Will have a little bit 
  
Steve Falk wrote a letter to the editor with the clear intent of influencing  public opinion.  The letter contained misinformation. 
He was called on it.  
He was most likely misinformed to begin with.   He clearly did not take the precaution of being properly informed and it didn't stop him from making accusations.
There isn't anything  scandalous about that. 
More embarrassing  perhaps. And potentially damaging to one's credibility.
When accusing others of less than  commendable conduct, one really ought to be careful where one places one's feet. 
That Mr. Falk's wife works at Church  Street School may or may not be of interest. 
The first e-mail received in the campaign to win friends and influence people on behalf of the Jazz Fest came from Tracy Smith, 
a member of the Culture Centre Board.  Itself a  self-indulgent guzzler of public resources, if one may use that term about an institution less than venerated in the community.
If Mr, Smith did not wish  to associate the Culture Centre with the Jazz Festival, and accusations against a Councillor,  he might have been wise to stay out of the fray. 
He did not. 
He  used the opportunity  to hurl about some personal invective while he was at it.
Still, where  there isn't any, it's hard to see where one might find 
guilt by association.
In these days, when wives  no longer feel compelled  to surrender their own identity, it's not  even easy to associate wives with husbands.
