Should I assume that your choice to finish your condescending rant with an accusation of condescension is a stab at irony?
I write under my own name, whether it's an article, a blog post or a comment. I am clear about my opinions, and they are quite varied, going well beyond "direction of traffic". I search for evidence and present the sources I find. I have lots of ideas, I love reading others' ideas, and I love discussing all of them.
I'm frankly quite tired of you repeatedly calling me out by name, accusing me of being condescending, accusing me of deliberately hiding facts, accusing me of focusing on too few issues (and not what you deem to be the "right" issues). It's quite easy to launch these attacks from behind an anonymous pseudonym.
All of the people who write articles here take ownership of their words. People such as Gary Santucci, Tim and Tanya from HGH, Gary Buttrum and countless others who are doing great things for this city write comments under their own names. Yet we have to tolerate accusations from anonymous cowards who have lots to say about why we are wrong, or who nitpick about our writing style or tone. Meanwhile we have no idea who they are, what their motivations are, or why they don't offer a few solutions of their own.
I'm sure you must have some good ideas. Why are you afraid to put your name to them? Why not write up an article for this site? It can only exist through the contributions of community volunteers.
I am happy to continue discussion of the city's ups and downs with you once you are brave enough to put your name behind your words. If you won't own your comments in a public forum, the door to my shop is always open and we can have a conversation face to face.
I vote down for offensiveness and up for humour. I cast no votes based on my level of agreement.
