A politician is a public figure, not an ordinary everyday schlep like me.
Of course something off-hand or off-color would be of interest to the

While I would like to consider myself a renowned public figure with all fame

times before.
I would NOT and HAVE not forwarded any private discussions that attacked me
to a public forum. I have NEVER done that! You do not know the HALF of

Wilma,
I respect both your approach, and Melani's. I don't think that

The issue was whether posting private emails publicly regardless, of to whom
you may have been discussing with privately. as an example of bullying and
the reason people formed the UCNeighbors Listserv. Do you or do you NOT
