Can't Believe the Blog Bully Said It!

It’s strange reading idontknow saying about former mayor Brown, “Boy, what a voice we ended up getting.” I contend that idontknow is worse than Brown ever was in our wildest dreams. Idontknow is the bona fide continuation of the infernal, internal battling in Peachtree City. Idontknow went out of his way to compare the former mayor to mass murders, war criminals, Communist dictators and people who assault law enforcement officers. How is the voice of idontknow any better for our community?

The shrewd little dodging device that idontknow keeps using are phrases like: “The man, for his "good things", hurt a lot of folks you'll never get to talk to, as they have either sworn off helping out in local government or have just flat moved away because of this man.” Or “…assuming his opinion was the only opinion and damning all others to the bowels of developers, old guard and other magic conspiracy theories.” Idontknow can do a verbal slam dance on a person for sure, but he has a difficult time providing the facts. Are the “folks” the development authority people and their illegal loan issues? (The same loans we are now going to have to pay).

Now remember what indontknow said about Brown in the previous paragraph and consider his blog entitled “People are dumb.” Here indontknow says, “So I'm reading through some of the, uh, passionate postings by some of those who feel that their opinion matters in the Whitewater High School student issue.” He later writes, “Sorry to be babbling here, but I am quite confused by those who decide to attack another's opinion, informed or not, with such vigor for an issue that seems rather clear cut.” It certainly sounds like only indontknow’s opinion is the only one that counts, funny, that’s what he said about Brown.

Oh no, idontknow, you’re right, you’re not “slandering” anyone. Instead, you’re dragging the level of public discourse down to the altitude of the Jerry Springer Show. You vandalize our community with hate-filled, over-generalized statements.

I couldn’t help but utter an “OH MY GOD” when you wrote, “I'd like to remind you that the people that I referenced [in comparison to Brown] (Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, McKinney and Stalin) all helped others.” This has to be the most flimsy attempt at defending disrespectful and offensive remarks about an honest, law abiding person that I have ever seen.

Nice try with the blog on tourism in an attempt to improve your bully image. Not one slam without facts in the whole piece. Too bad you can’t keep your stuff on that side of the line.

I felt like comparing you to Osama Bin Laden in this blog, but you’re not like him at all, so I won’t do it. Doing so would be extraordinarily rude to you, and it would reduce the hideous nature of Bin Laden.

Surprisingly, I didn’t even vote for Brown in the runoff, although I now admit, I made a mistake after watching Mayor Logsdon’s performance. And yes, idontknow, Mayor Logsdon did lie about tax pledges he made to many of us in person. However, my blog has nothing to do with Mayor Logsdon.

Idontknow, I merely read your revoltingly over the top comparison and put my name in place of Brown’s name, and thought about what my family’s reaction would be, what the other kids at school would say to my kids, and think what a severe castigation for four years of hard work and very little pay.
