Your reputation isn't as a shrinking violet.

I think that the last comment you left on your previous post was so wishy-washy as to be insulting to your faithful followers, and even those who aren't faithful.
You alone know your better self although it's not the one I have come to know and admire over the years.
But it's your blog and you control what appears on it.

I don't have to explain myself . I'm not sure I can in a way that would satisfy the above commentary.
When I write something, everyone knows .
When anonymous writes it, no-one does.
An anonymous writer is not in a position to call someone else a coward, a shrinking violet or wishy-washy.
We are at the beginning of a campaign. As a candidate. I am not in the habit of talking about what other candidates have or don't have to offer. People don't want to hear that from a candidate.
I am in the business of conveying my own ideas.
The immediate spate of reaction to Gallo's campaign declarations is telling.
A blog could be started as an outlet for reaction. But it can't be mine.
Candidate Ballard recommends only Gaertner and Gallo to residents in need of help who have difficulty reaching himself.
It tells a lot about Ballard sensibility. Does he need to borrow a shovel?
Did he learn from "the master" how to dig a hole so deep and so wide he may never climb out ?
Gallo reminds voters of abuse of various facilities and resources in the last term and his part in all of that. T'were best forgotten. Does he sound like he needs any help ?
I am neither a coward, a shrinking violet nor wishy-washy. I am engaged in a calling I understand very well.
Calling me names will not induce me to do something that does not recommend itself .
Unless I join the Mayoralty contest, Dawe and Gallo must duke it out between themselves.

Let them have at it. They can get their own blogs for heaven's sake. The thing that strikes me is the financial cost to launching a challenge so early. So far the only political ad I have seen in the Auroran has been from the guy who accused that paper of running subliminal political ads. But the meter has to be running if the candidate is determined to stand out.
"We are at the beginning of a campaign. As a candidate. I am not in the habit of talking about what other candidates have or don't have to offer. People don't want to hear that from a candidate."
But, at present, you are not a registered candidate.
The twittersphere is very quiet once again. Methinks they are in a state of at least mild shock. Well done.

There is no need to be rude or nit-pick.
Bottom Line: It is Evelyn's Blog. Her call if you get " published ."
I think Canadian politics are becoming Americanized. No sooner is an election finished than the next one is being challenged. No one can convince me that Cllr Gaertner had a real enthusiasm for anything other than replacing those she saw as interlopers. It is tedious and unhelpful when it comes to dealing the daily business of the town.
