@Willow: Since you plussed one of my comments and negged the other, let me see if you can neutrally receive some insight.

E.J. makes a plan to antagonize. Her first and second post on this thread were nothing but efforts to antagonize. If you cannot see that, you have not been paying attention.

The first post: Hitting the absolute height of either passive-aggression or purposeful obtuseness, I saw it quite clearly as an effort to begin an attack on this thread.

The second post: in an attempt to reframe this thread and then create drama where none existed (note that none of us had said much about the overall conflict prior), she decided to make this about preferring one nationality over another. None of us had done that. She was trying to tell us what our "point" was, then tell us why it was wrong.

As to your offense at this thread, I'm sorry to have to say it, but you are being woefully one-sided. You berate some of the posters for making quips, but not E.J. Was her first post not merely a quip meant to denigrate the idea that this item should be highlighted? Think on it and get back to me.

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
