I started writing the blog for communication in August 2007 when it became apparent equal pportunity at Council would be sparse.
A majority slate had been elected in 2006 . Three others had no Council experience and had yet to discover what was what.
I was the odd one out.
But I had a computer, a sense of it's potential and necessity became the mother of invention.
The Blog began. Tentatively at first.
It was a paradigm shift.

As a veteran of fifty years, I am no stranger to political battles . I seldom back away.
But ... Duelling with a lawyer is hardly an equal footing.
I didn't start it.
Now the decision is pending.
I appreciate the continued interest but I still can't talk about it.

It does get more and more strange by the day. Do take care.
It doesn't really seem fair. The residue can meet for a beer and exchange stories about dealing with the terrible councillor. And you have to keep silent......
John Mac RE:Webster house SOLD.
Suing was your choice.

Lovely stuff ! As long as it ain't to the town,

Evelyn has already stated that she was the odd one out. The other can meet for a beer and exchange stories because they share a common situation - good against evil. You can decide who falls on which side of that.
I really doubt however that any of them get together for a beer. I know one of them personally and outside of the confines of the Town Hall, they are a completely different person. The only thing that they had in common was the council table.
Yes thats what they do, and what about that poor man they went after over and over. You know whom I speak of.They did not deserve that and are still being punished.

Are you suggesting that it was being on council that made them hunt like a pack after a single individual as well as three residents of the town associated with another Blog they found offensive ?
Hope you never have to 23:09
9:03- Who would that be?
@ 8:08
What flavour was your kool aid ?
That's the whole point, 11:33. No one 'has to' - particularly when the case isn't based on business. This one is seemingly about a perceived loss of reputation. Pursuing litigation is a choice.

So was the so-called defamation thingee. Did you have a point other than you disagree ?
@11:18
Why do you persist in arguing that the term as business as usual ? The same tired refrain. None of us had seen anything like it.
I witnessed the way evelyn was treated on live TV many times. God only knows what was going on when the Camara wasn't rolling! There were times I wanted to jump in my car and head over there, but didn't because I would have made matters worse. It was discusting.
It was truely shocking a.nd not by Ev.
I agree with you both, 13:57 and 15:45. The "so-called defamation thingee" was also a choice, and WRONG on every level you can think of. Also, the 2006-10 term was the worst ever; I'm not arguing that it was "business as usual." It was our long municipal nightmare.
I'm as vehemently anti-Mormac as many of you here (although, thankfully, the passage of time renders them further into irrelevance), but that doesn't make me an automatic supporter of former-Cllr Buck. It is not, as many of you seem to think, an either/or proposition. Fault can be found in all camps - I see no righteous side, particularly not in the wake of that term.
The point is - again - that commencing litigation is a choice. There is no obligation, however aggrieved a party may feel, to go down that (legal) road. A quest for vindication can be seen as pursuing a vendetta. One person's crusade is another's tit-for-tat.
"It can be seen as pursuing a vendetta?" That's not the way I see it at all. And I'm sure the judge won't either. Stay strong Ev.
