You've got to love or be frightened by the lengths West goes to attack his targets' character. I hope he didn't frighten Mr. Desir with one of his breathless outbursts! West and Siano continue trying to prove my bad character by making up disrespect for the elderly-hahaha. Because these two believe in their superior abilities over other list members, readers are asked to believe that my comments have been a mean demand to exclude the elderly from "community discussions" Hahaha. As the Penn committee reported about the first Thursday meeting, these 8AM Praxis meetings (dog and pony shows) are not designed for the vast majority of people in the community! Most list reader's understand that Glenn's point is that the elderly are being used as Praxis attempts to dishonestly claim a process for "community engagement." Of course, the facility would be fine for a 7 PM announced community forum. But Praxis does not want that. Once you've witnessed the Penn operatives claim that such 8AM meetings were open community forums, most people would understand that the entire purpose is future deception. Consider: How many of our neighbors would go to a regular 8AM dog and pony show for which the agenda is kept secret? No one, of course. It's easy to understand why Praxis needs a "captive audience." When a weasel pops in with a hotel sales pitch, the community at large has no way to discover it in advance. As I uncloak this "Friends of 40th St" charade, West and Siano cannot defend Penn's "community engagement" so this is the straw man ad hominem tactic to which they always return. (Speak of respect- Remember how Siano was part of the barking cheese gang having perverse pleasure when the homeless man was murdered on 49th. Several list members asked the cheesehead gang to stop as they kept going. Yet it is my observation of the unethical use of the elderly which is called evidence of bad character and lack of respect?) As the Penn committee also observed about the other 8AM dog and pony show, the Penn business plan is preconceived. Praxis has absolutely no interest in the participation of the elderly any more than the participation from any of us. To Praxis, these people are simply compliant bodies. As to West's wanking- You folks don't need me to explain that personal care assistants are often referred to as nurses. And an independent living facility is different from the traditional nursing home with the availability of 24 hour medical care. I helped a neighbor who referred to himself as a nurse. I worked in that building for a short time. West's "got him" is not so exciting as his breaking news of committeeman7 and voteforandytoyy. Hope everyone enjoys all the wanking, Glenn -----Original Message----- >From: Anthony West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Sep 10, 2008 4:16 PM >To: ucityList <univcity@list.purple.com> >Subject: [UC] The truth about the 'old folks home' (Was: Re: PennPraxis and >40th St.) > > >Brian Siano wrote: >> And some people even manage to endure being around the nursing-home >> residents whom Glenn finds so comical and amusing. > >Glenn moyer wrote: >> At 8AM, Penn Praxis holds these "regular forums" at the old folks home. >> Nurses wheel down their clients for donuts.
