The catchment district was designed to closely resemble the SHCA historic district boundaries. Our so called community leaders didn't have time dealing with the deranged neighbors or civic associations outside of that boundary. They were too busy in back rooms! So they made a big deal of ignoring discussions on this public list. The public neighborhood listserv is one of the great threats to abuse of power. It is one of the internet tools, which gives people the greatest hope for using the internet to regain democracy, as well as quickly inform neighbors about neighborhood issues or threats. As West's ideology insists, good neighbors want controlled advertising for consumption. Good neighbors want censorship of neighborhood issues, so we have happy, happy, joy, joy while the experts control all neighborhood decisions! Censorship was used ubiquitously against the populations across the Arab world. Freedom of the press and speech is enshrined in the very first amendment for a good reason.

Re: [UC] Facts on the Clark Pk restoration
Good responses here Glenn. Perhaps the reason they did not let my email through yet is the inclusion there of this list's subscription info. Even Linda Lee did not (dare?) mention it before when I asked, I had to google it and then hunt it down like a detective... Clark Park now looks like a lot like Tony West, about the same, but with a fancy tie and well-pressed suit. It is all so much like the debacle that occurred involving the Swim Club... where they said we need to redesign the club because the City said we need a H/C ramp in front. Then they spend tons of unneeded $ rebuilding, we lost use of it (but not the cost of it for more than a year) and they don't even put in the H/C ramp which my mother could now really use.

[UC] When the public list improved drastically
Civility and the ability of neighbors to communicate on this public list improved drastically when the censored, ucneighbor list, was created! Cyberbullying, on this list, flourished several years ago, but largely vanished when the bullies were disgraced and sought the protection of censorship to control their messaging. That was serendipity. At first, the cyberbullies, also known as the barking cheese gang, would continue to use awful personal attacks here, while engaging in good neighbor posts on ucneighbors.(The ucneighbor archives were closed and the phenomena can no longer be juxtaposed). Tony West and Brian Siano's recent posts are a classical reminder of that history! It was not that ucneighbors wanted to be the good social club list, as Tony West's latest appeals pretend, but that the public list was to be DESTROYED. (This was clear in the early archives of ucneighbors.) Without the public list, the censored Penn list would have given a monopoly for all messaging about neighborhood issues! Karen Allen did a comparison of posts during the hotel fight that clearly demonstrated the chilling effect on speech, that merely the threat of censorship causes! She found that the hugely unpopular hotel plot was unmentioned on the censored list, while thoroughly examined here. Tony West and others have again been using the mean and fallacious tactics on the public list that destroys the possibility of civil discourse. Then, Tony West and others blame the public nature of this list, as the enemy that leads to incivility. Bullying leads to incivility, not free speech! Has Tony and Brian's ongoing meanness cleverly turned good people in favor of censorship? Their tactics seem very clear to me.

Re: [UC] Facts
Maybe Bill, You missed the meeting where many board members including the President said that: the reason that they had started working out the plans for the rebuilding was to include a new front ramp for wheel chairs. They insisted that it was beyond anyone's control. I wrote about such things in the Swim Club listserve but as Kyle has done just recently, my comments were often censored off by the people maintaining that mailing list. The rear (H/C) entrance is a rather poor substitute, and an extreme inconvenience, particularly for someone with a handicap, as it is unwatched and using it means you are stuck waiting until someone answers the bell - which several people have told me does not always even happen. It may be better than nothing, but only just. This may be something you were unaware of during the pertinent deliberations, but it is most definitely not the first time you have heard this issue referred to Bill. Your statement about the life expectancy of the repairs is now mute; as repairs were not attempted, instead a complete and hugely expensive almost total rebuilding took place. I estimated repairs as being more than 98% cheaper and quite doable. Turns out I was wrong on my costs savings estimate, it should have been more like 99.9%. At one point during a membership meeting a false claim was stated that next to nothing was holding the pool back from an imminent structural collapse which could expose the area to an explosion of flooding water and harm small children. I was not allowed to rebut this claim even though the laws of physics were clearly being savagely assailed! Oh, and I'll never forget saying the number of guards would need to go up considerably with the changed configuration, and being told I was absolutely wrong. Mind you I was a Red Cross Water Safety Instructor. We got a lap pool which was the 'working group's' obvious larger 'need' and spent a veritable fortune which came from the members of the club, not the ones who wanted the lap pool, not the ones who misrepresented the issues, or signed the contracts or lied about the repairs being impossible. I asked about a heater (which long ago we had) and was told the heater was definitely in the plans. Those who wanted the money spent on adding temperature control were a sizable number based on the one straw vote given the issue, but those people while they were promised equal access in the planning, found out that it would not be discussed at the next meeting, and then the subject was buried. We lost over a year of use, wasted more money than made any sense, and many members dropped out. No heater, no front ramp for handicapped access... just a lovely new lap pool. A very lovely lap pool at more than five times what it should have cost... On May 5, 2011, at 2:18 PM, William H.

[UC] Fwd: [UCNeighbors] Re: A Spammer's Tools
Kyle, you are saying you never barred Glenn, and that he has posted to the UCNeighbors list? (..not been posted, like when I have quoted him..?) Do you also deny stopping my reply to you from posting, and meanwhile allowing others through instead who backed you?

Re: [UC] Facts on the Clark Pk restoration
I must say Rick flatters me. As of today (as anyone can see who looks at me), I look quite a bit older than I did 10 years ago, when the community first began pushing to revitalize Clark Park. The park, on the other hand, is looking much younger all of a sudden. And that's good! The park needs rebirth much more than I do. --Tony West On 5/5/2011 12:08 PM, Richard Conrad wrote: Clark Park now looks like a lot like Tony West, about the same, but with a fancy tie and well-pressed suit.
