It is interesting, isn’t it Mike, how some people stoop to name calling instead of engaging in public discourse. Like, for instance, the headline of your post: “The toll of arrogance. The mayor of Highland Park does not get it.” Many people might infer that you are calling the mayor of Highland Park arrogant. (Personally, I don’t know the man. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t.).
Actually, you went further to call Mayor Seay “arrogant at best, snobby at worst.” Again, I don’t know the man, so you could be right, but is there any doubt that you have engaged in name-calling rather than civil discourse?
Also, I’m glad that you are “capable of admitting mistakes,” like getting the mayor’s name wrong. God knows I make mistakes all the time myself, especially with names. But you point out that the “name callers” don’t do the same. Which mistakes did they make?
