A lot of the spin has the sink of desperation to it.

And insecurity. Hence the targetting of Joey Coleman and Ryan. Can you imagine the mayor of any other major city obsessing over the words and actions of private individuals like this? It's so high school.

When I was in high school, I was bullied by my music teacher who was also my band and choir leader and a prominent figure in our local arts community, so he had a considerable impact on my young life. Once I got over the pain and confusion, I realized I should be flattered by the fact that a grown man was expending considerable time and energy to go out of his way to make my life miserable. It soon became a perverse badge of honour and a source of humour in my family and social circle.

I can't help seeing the same dynamic in the disturbing attacks on 'bloggers', 'dissidents', and 'vigilantes' coming out of the mayor's office. Ryan et. al. should be flattered.
