Al McGlochlin , he voted No
Just a short note as to the outcome of a important security vote taken at to days Security Committee meeting. The question was to increase the security at the Wellington pools, at no cost to the Village, should we do it?

O.K. I GIVE UP!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow. "Anti-Semitic". Brought to you by the same folks who described Century Village as "A Village of Kapos".
ReplyDeleteIs there no end to the lack of sensitivity and good taste here? Are there no social boundaries at all?
You should be ashamed.
DON 4060.
DeleteIT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING OF THAT POSTING. IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE IF QUOTED THE CONTEXT OF THAT POSTING.
THIS BLOG SHOULD NOT BE ASHAMED AS IT IS THE ONLY BLOG WHERE YOU CABN SAY WHAT YIU WANT.
MAY I SUGGEST IF DO NOT LIKE THIS BLOG THAT READ AND POST YOUR COMMENTS WHERE EVERYONE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU.
DO NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BLOG IF YOU FEEL IT IS SHAMEFUL.
If "free speech" means anonymous persons can slander real persons with impunity, if spiteful anonymous snipes can brand dedicated public servants as "anti-Semites" in a predominantly Jewish community, then I will take a responsibly moderated blog any day.
DeleteThis is hate speech and a dangerous precedent. Somebody on this Blog should get a handle on it. You are not as anonymous as you think.
And exactly what is your name McHidding

Gary- this is your Blog, so I assume you have some idea how this works. If you don't, there are Blogger tutorials online.
DeleteMy Google screen name, which I use on all Google blogs, is registered with Google. It is tied to my Gmail account and my unique IP address. This affords me some measure of privacy, but does not render me invisible. If I participate in hate speech, as "Richard Parker" did, or engage in cyberstalking, cyberbullying, or just plain old slander, I can be tracked and held accountable for my actions. So can anyone else. Some of these actions are now considered criminal offenses, others are actionable in Civil Court. Either way, casually referring to a UCO Committee member as an anti-Semite, is a really bad idea.
Anyway, I see that the original objectionable post has been removed, either by you or the original poster. Thank You.
The vote was not to increase security at the Wellington pools, but to open and lock them during the evening hours as the Federation has been doing. Unless it's tongue-in-cheek, you might want to spell Al's name correctly regardless of your opinion. And FYI, I know Al over 20 years and he is not an anti-Semite, nor a grumpy od man or unhappy camper. He is probably among the most upbeat and happy, friendly people I know. No wonder I don't read this blog.
ReplyDeleteRUTHPLD: THOSE WERE ASSUMPTIONS: I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONCE. HOWEVER WHAT POSSIBLE LOGICAL EXPLANATION CAN HE GIVE FOR HIS NO VOTE.
DeleteLET HIM TELL US WHAT LOGICAL REASON HE VOTED NO ON THIS ISSUE..
MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW DID YOU REPLY TO THIS POSTING IF YOU READ DO NOT READ THIS BLOG?.
THIS IS THE ONLY BLOG WHERE YOU POST OR COMMENT WHITHOUT CENSORSHIP. KEEP READING AND EXPRESS YOUR OPINION IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD
IF YOU DO NOT READ THIS BLOG?
Al McLaughlin is none of the things mentioned above. You forgot that he has been a dedicated UCO volunteer for over 20 years,
ReplyDeleteNO ONE IS QUESTIONING HIS DEDICATION. WHAT IS BEING QUESTIONED IS HE MOTIVES
DeleteSEE ABOVE.
I attended the Security meeting when Al voted no on the issue of locking and unlocking the Wellington pools. Why does someone need to have a motive to vote yes or no? Al chaired Security for some 10 years, during which time I was also a volunteer on many committees including Security. He is very familiar with what went before -- hence his vote. Can anyone tell me why this makes his anti-Semitic, grumpy or unhappy? The comment is both vicious and cruel.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the comments that were past from Mr.McG. to the Wellington delegation, they were mean and dispirited.

Answered but has gotten lost in the shuffle. If you find it, please notify me.
ReplyDeleteWell said Don4060. If "Richard Parker" can be identified he should be, by all means, if only to let everyone know who they might otherwise believe to be an upstanding person. And if disciplinary action can be taken that would be a step in the right direction to deter others from this type of behavior.
ReplyDeleteRuth- the best kind of discipline is self-discipline. Comments like these begin with irresponsible discourse- like referring to UCO operatives as Nazis and making reference to and comparison between CV political life and the Holocaust. People really post this nasty stuff- others skirt the boundaries of irresponsible commentary. At best, these comments are in awful taste and, at worst, terribly mean. Sooner or later, someone will take it too far, and today was the day it happened. Let's hope it does not happen again.
DeleteDon -- I, too, hope it doesn't happen again and don't believe it will....I hope I'm right. I have mixed emotions about your statement. I still think we should try to establish who this volatile person is to insure that it doesn't happen again.
DeleteWell Ruth, all past "Richard Parker" posts are displayed over Gary Olman's Google screen name, so there are two likely possibilities here:
ReplyDeletePossibility One- Gary wrote the objectionable post himself.
Possibility Two- Gary posted for another person who wishes to remain anonymous.
Either way, Gary is on the hook for calling Al McLaughlin an anti-Semite. Even if he does not believe that to be so, he should not have allowed that sentiment to be posted over his screen name. It is the same as if I signed a blank sheet of my own personal letterhead and handed it to you.
I personally do not care what the real scenario is- I just want the periodic Nazi and Holocaust references to stop, both here and on the other Blog. They bother me. The other "dictator" references I can live with- if you feel the need to compare the UCO President to Mussolini or Idi Amin, have at it, but the Nazi stuff is a little rough for this particular place, and leads to calling people anti-Semites, which is worse.
I suppose that the two possibilities should not come as a shock and perhaps it takes one to accuse another of being one. I think it's incumbent upon Mr. O. to read his own Disclaimer about extreme and offensive posts on the right side off his blog.
