Goes to show ya, NOBODY likes seeing their name on the internet. Makes people think twice before they sign their names to any old ridiculous thing.
ReplyDeleteSame goes for recording and uploading the Delegate Assembly. As tedious as the monthly dog and pony shows are now, they are tame compared to when I first started watching in 2008, before the primary actors realized how far their performances were reaching and how permanent those uploaded images are. If you want to pace up and down the stage in a red sportjacket holding a roll of toilet paper, be my guest, but the internet record is about as permanent as hieroglyphics on a pyramid wall.
Let us think about Myron Solomon, one of the instigators of the impeachment. He is the man who caused the whole village to pay almost $700,000 in a ridiculous lawsuit over the clubhouse having to be rebuilt after a hurricane. We were getting the money back from WPRF but he and his cronies raised a stink and got the village roused up. $700,000. Think, before you listen to this lunatic. He has nothing to offer the village but his negativity.
ReplyDeleteAt the last delegate assembly, Mr. Solomon speculated that perhaps sixty people read the Blog on a regular basis. If he really believed that to be so, he would not have made a public complaint of "intimidation" regarding the administrators' decision to post documents related to the recall petition.
ReplyDeleteAs a homeowner who partially funds UCO, I have a right to see those documents. In the past, my efforts to read those documents would be stopped short by the requirement to physically enter the UCO office and request them. First off, I would have to be in Florida, and I am usually not. Then I would have to be made aware of the existence of the documents, either via the then-censored UCO Reporter, or through poolside gossip. Third, I would have to walk into the UCO office and endure the runaround, flatout bullshit stories, and being spoken to like I was a retarded hobo. I am, admittedly, a lazy homeowner and something of an armchair civic observer, but the condtions that existed at UCO, preblog, would scare off people much better motivated and better intentioned than me. Even now, Officers and Committee Chairpersons routinely brush off pesky inquiries with "come into the UCO office and I would be happy to show you the documents and discuss them with you". These days, I can read a presidential recall petition as easily as I can watch cartoons. If I had seen the delegate of my association at the bottom of that piece of trash, I would have been on the phone instantly to register my disapproval. I would poll and inform my neighbors, and I would remember the event at election time. It seems to me that is exactly what happened to many of the signatories to the recall petition. They signed, the petition was posted to blog, other homeowners saw or heard about it, and the resulting negative feedback, combined with the horror of seeing or hearing about ones' own name basking in the sunshine of the Internet, resulted in public recantations. No wonder Mr. Solomon and other leftovers from "twelfth century robber Baron" UCO hate the Blog and rail about it constantly.
