Re: [UC] Fwd: Clark park Festival BANNER STOLEN
Jim, I'm not sure if this helps but this is what I know On my way to take my two children to the playground I saw a large banner for the music festival with only one end tied to the west tree. This was Monday morning around 10am. The banner had flopped to the ground and the other end, that appeared to have once been tied to another tree, had been ripped. The grommet to attach the rope was missing from the banner, possibly still on the rope to the east tree. I wanted to try to rehang the banner if I could but I didn't have any way of reattaching the rope to the ripped banner, that and my 4 and 2 year olds were getting away from me. I left the banner still attached to the west tree but laid it so people could still read the sign as they passed by. We left the playground around 11:30am and the banner was still hanging from the one tree.

Re: [UC] the defectors to UCNeighbors (was: Yet more help from Hollywood)
Hello again,
Just so you all know, Glenn is wrong when he thinks I am new to this list. If
he would have only taken his own advise and checked the archives for my name he
would see that I'm about 5 years new to this list. Too bad I didn't post
the first day I joined or I might be 6 years new.
Interesting to see Glenn's quote though, Penn
believes it will intimidate the rest of the community by its silencing and
punishment of dissenters. Apparently now he can channel the collective
thoughts of the thousands of people that work for Penn. (Once again, that is
sarcasm for those that didn't follow it.)
barking cheese, anointed, Glenn can't help but resorting to name-calling
instead of using the true names. I guess name-calling is the level that some
really feel comfortable operating at.
Now back for some more name-calling,

Hi Mr. Dominick,
Since you are new to the list, let me help you understand the genesis of the
University of Pennsylvania censored e-mail listserv critisized on this public
list. I have been a long term member of the Penn community, and this censored
listserv will ultimately bring shame to our university.
I would suggest that you review the archives of the public purple list just
prior to July 30 to confirm my explanation. In addition to founding members
Cassidy, Anderson, Lamond, Siano, West, I can point you to others appearing in
the archives so that you can see that the claim about civility by the
justifiers
of censorship cannot possibly be supported.
As has been pointed out publicly, several founders of the censored Penn list
were part of a gang of individuals who have been employing various fallacious
argumentative strategies for years. These folks and their gang like tactics
were
thoroughly and publicly exposed and were recognized as the primary source of
incivility on this list. They appear to consider themselves Penn partners in a
new elite who will dominate society in a new plutocracy.
Banning dissenters on one side of neighborhood issues is notlight moderation
or light censortship. Yet it is the supportable conclusion for the
establishment of the new censored list. Prior to the establishment of barking
cheese not only had its founders tactics been thoroughly exposed but the public
list emerged as one of the rare opportunities allowing dissent, disclosure, and
questioning which is considered necessary in democratic societies.
In the year 2007, this public list emerged as a powerful obstacle to the
overwhelming Penn marketing machine. As the various unethical practises and
frauds driven by the University of Pennsylvania Real Estate monopolists
continue
to demand absolute power and the establishment of an elite plutocracy, this
list
emerged as one of the few venues for honest discussions and questioning. The
archives served as a public historical record.
As Penn’s cloaked agent UCD was caught violating federal law in 2007, it was
this listserv which provided the community stakeholders a powerful public
gathering for discussion. When Penn’s Real Estate spokesperson, Andrew Zitcer
attempted to denegrate dissent and opposition to Penn’s marketing scheme and
corporate domination, in a city wide publication; it was on this listserv that
the ethical failure to disclose their spokesperson’s true identity was exposed.
To this day, the rest of the city believes the spokesperson for Penn Real
Estate, Andrew Zitcer, is Everyman who finds citizens concerns about Penn
marketing and monopoly to be frivilous and stupid. The folks on this public
list
shared his actual role in the Penn machine and we have the opportunity to see
how dishonest the tactics of Penn Real Estate are in 2007..
Penn’s move to sponsor a censored private list called UC Neighbors is
designed to replace and minimize this rare public place for important
neighborhood discussions. As long term list readers understand, this sweet
barking cheese list is also a set-up for future astroturfing to support
corporate domination and rule over our community.
All local Penn agendas are masked with the claim that 80% to 100% of good
neighborhood consumers demand the Penn agenda. Astroturfing is a rather new
term
describing the false claim of grassroots support which the censored list will
falsely prove.
Please read back in the listserv archives and you will see that civility and
the need to ban 5 or 6 wrong thinking people is nothing but a bold lie. Penn
believes it will intimidate the rest of the community by its silencing and
punishment of dissenters. Several years ago, a local civic
Re: [UC] the defectors to UCNeighbors (was: Yet more help from Hollywood)
Dear Glenn,
To answer your specific questions...
First, could you identify the other 5 or 6 people whom you and your fellow
list members believe should be pre-banned from the upenn.edu list?
I never mentioned anything about banning, those are your words, not mine. I
will ask kindly, please do not put words into my mouth.
Isn't creation of your UC Neighbors actually a sign and symbol that gangs or
bullying should not be coddled or given a free pass by strong citizens whom
will not be intimidated?
The UCNeighbors list is not mine as you implied, I don't know how you ever got
that impression, I don't even work for Penn. As for a sign, I only see the
UCNeighbors list as a sign of choice, let people choose whatever list pleases
them.
Do you consider your last 2 posts constructive attempts to make important
points or enter into a discussion?
Just clarifications and observations, please re-read my posts which are below.

Re: [UC] the defectors to UCNeighbors (was: Yet more help from Hollywood)
DIV { MARGIN:0px;}Just so you all know, Glenn is wrong when he thinks I am
new to this list.
I stand corrected. Here is my corrected statement.
Hi Mr Dominick,
Since (I've never noticed any posts from you which I considered of interest
or valuable,) let me (introduce myself and) help you understand the genesis of
the University of Pennsylvania censored e-mail listserv criticized on this
public list...
First, could you identify the other 5 or 6 people whom you and your fellow
list members believe should be pre-banned from the upenn.edu list? I've seen
this 5 or 6 number stated repeatedly but I believe by leaving the individuals
and their posts unidentified those statements should be understood as cowardly
attempts to intimidate 300+ subscribers on this list. The only folks who come
to my mind that fit your description are on the censored list and share a
particular ideology.
I've started a letter to the Daily Pennsylvanian and some Penn officials
about the Cassidy list and this is important information. I am one of these 5
or 6, but identifying the others and their uncivil posts is rather important.
You don't need to bother to try to understand why; it's not easy for many
folks to understand. Even just their identities would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
If you answer my question, I promise I won't make the mistake of attempting a
discussion or responding to you directly about your comments in the future. I
may comment about your posts especially when they include silly criticisms or
insults directed at me or contain pot shot insults towards others . When an
individual doesn't first attempt a good faith effort to be part of any
discussion but simply desires an opportunity for insults against people
perceived as too smart to engage in civil discussion, I've decided to ignore
such childishness to a point. I stopped being overly accepting as my nature
and personality dictated around 2001. My foolish patience had only emboldened
the bullies I dealt with at FOCP as well as the UCD executive director at that
time. I had never been bullied before and lacked experience.
I hold my failures somewhat responsible for our communities loss of Clark
Park to Penn. In hindsight, my dedication to diplomacy, trust, and
forgiveness kept me from exposing properly and timely what I was seeing as an
overwhelming attempt to dominate, divide and conquer not only our park but
community. My desire for civil and logical discussion was exploited. You
could follow up with others whom have tangled with local civic associations to
confirm this reality.
I know some folks are expected to tolerate pathetic pot shots from
strangers forever. After my years of experience with folks on the censored
list, I know how this must be addressed even though I will respond without
personal malice towards you. Isn't creation of your UC Neighbors actually a
sign and symbol that gangs or bullying should not be coddled or given a free
pass by strong citizens whom will not be intimidated?
Let me simplify my explanation a bit. Proponents of a Penn led plutocracy
simply could not win their arguments through years of public bullying and
intimidation. Hence, UC Neighbors was established partly for this reason with
Penn resources.
As a five year list member, you've been able to witness the horrible behavior
of several of the people on the censored list. Look how friendly, polite, and
constructive this list has become except when folks from the censored list
come back
Re: [UC] the defectors to UCNeighbors (was: Yet more help from Hollywood)
Hello all, Just my own point of clarification. To reference Wilma's words: The people on UCNeighbors did not approve of those of us who had a different view of how events unfolded and left. They also sowed enough seeds of nasty behavior, disrespect and contempt on this list as well, that this should not have been the rationale for forming another list in my opinion. First off, as one member of the UCNeighbors list, thanks for being able to read my mind. And I did't know you were the collective voice for everyone on the UCNeighbors list. That is sarcasim for those that didn't realize, but my point is that I find it odd that people on this list think they know exactly why people joined the other list. It is often referenced that anyone who joined UCNeighbors has left UnivCity. This is not always true and so I am clear, I am on both lists. Yes Virginia, one can be on multiple lists, and welcome to the Internet since you are new here. Second off, while I am all for people speaking their mind I, like I assume others, have gotten tired of the 5 or 6 people on this list that has resorted to name-calling, whining, and ranting to get their point across. A sample of the childish name-calling from just the last week alone: Ceasar Amy, Sweet Barfing Cheese, not to be confused with sweetbarkingcheese.com, UC Lords, the anointed (FYI, I don't think there was any anointing involved). I get my fair share of whining, complaining, and name-calling from my 3 year old that I got tired of having to hear it coming from adults acting like 3 year olds. So I joined UCNeighbors _not_ for the reasons that Wilma suggests, that I did not approve of those of us who had a different view of how events unfolded. I actually like the different views that come up and enjoy reading them. But I personally have found that UnivCity has gotten less informative lately and more like noise to me and I joined UCNeighbors in the hopes that it will serve the purpose that the UnivCity once did, of getting information out. So far the UCNeighbors list has been informative without the name-calling. But don't worry folks, I will still read UnivCity for the enjoyment. Now let the name-calling resume, Tony Dominick - Original Message From: Wilma de Soto [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Anthony West [EMAIL PROTECTED]; UnivCity listserv UnivCity@list.purple.com Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 7:28:59 AM Subject: Re: [UC] the defectors to UCNeighbors (was: Yet more help from Hollywood) Re: [UC] the defectors to UCNeighbors (was: Yet more help from Hollywood) Dear Tony, You may have a point, but I found your post to be rather high-handed and disparaging with regard to most of the high-thinkers have gone over to the other list, etc. Second-raters and fool doesn’t help either. However, it is an accurate description of many who are on the new list as to how do they think of us on this listserv. Many of us here have had years of community service and have paid our dues. We have been here longer than many of the initial posters on the other list. It eventually came down to some us actually love everything Univ. of PA. is doing here and stand to benefit from it personally or professionally. Others see a re-vamping of the neighborhood and displacement of its long time residents; especially people of color and are battle-scarred from attacks and other negative experiences with the institution. The people on UCNeighbors did not approve of those of us who had a different view of how events unfolded and left. They also sowed enough seeds of nasty behavior, disrespect and contempt on this list as well, that this should not have been the rationale for forming another list in my opinion. That’s my view for what it is or isn’t worth. Regards, Wilma
