This past week saw the Coeur d'Alene Press publish an editorial about taking the high road and not publishing smears, rumors and innuendos, despite having done just that for months on end. On Sunday, the editorial called for dialog between those who lost their races for City Council and the City. It was echoed, on the same page, by a letter from one of the defeated candidates. And yet, the negativity from their side continues. One of the strongest supporters of this group, in a posting on his blog, continues to allege corruption at City Hall, despite offering no evidence. A commenter on his site, fueled it would seem by this continued smearing, has invoked the health of the city's mayor who faced cancer surgery this past summer. The anonymous coward posted: "this Mayor with malignant melanoma. Just desserts I say." So when do you guys wanted to sit down and have this civil dialog?/ThomG, Perspectives. Full post here.
Question: If you were Mayor Sandi Bloem, would you pay attention to the group that had bashed you and your government for the last 9 months?
