Should
Harassing Commentary be Condemned by Board
Candidates?
Board candidates have
announced, and as the saying goes...
"Let
the Games Begin"
It would certainly be refreshing if any
candidates for our upcoming board election would make a statement that such
degrading and/or harassing behavior by any person or blog is unacceptable in any
way.
Silence....on this matter...should
create suspicion as to their character and how they might look at fellow
constituents should they be elected...whether they will lead through example, or
through intimidation.
Making crude and harassing commentary
designed to merely demean another person, yet boasting a 100% track record at
choosing candidates who have been victorious in past elections, should raise
eyebrows as to those candidates who have remained silent toward such behavior
directed at their fellow neighbors.
Just what does that say about the
character of the person making such a demeaning comment, or even worse, the
character of the individual endorsed, if they cannot subscribe to any civil form
of conduct?
Good
moral character combined with competence must be the standard by which a leader
should be judged and chosen.
Missing
either, means settling for less than what you deserve, and the results of
electing any such individual, can only bring results of less than what you are
entitled to receive.
In my estimation any board candidate
who refuses to chastise any person demonstrating such activity, should be
eliminated from consideration by any person casting a
ballot.
When "winning" involves sacrificing the
golden rule....
Is a "WIN"
really a WIN?
I am merely asking each
candidate....
Will you
demonstrate your moral fiber by rejecting harassing behavior
?
I hope each and every
candidate asks themselves this question as this contest
proceeds...
...while the good people
of this community pay close attention to those candidates who reject or remain
silent to such behavior prior to their voting for any
person.

ReplyDeleteI agree!
Bully should be considered as a form of abuse!
Everyone is entitled to one’s own opinion about any topic; yet, there are so many choices of words that may be said, be written, be expressed.
No one should be subjected to an abusive manner in any form!!! Specially, if there is no truth to the subject matter.
We live in an adult community. the word “ADULT” to this English as second language "old me" should be translated as a Matured, Seasoned, Loving, Caring individual.
We should be cautious to guard our well beings, not be in combating atmospheres all the time!
Thanks bringing this subject up.
God Bless!!!
Thank yoiu Dorothy.
DeleteWouldn't it be nice if all the board candidates, blog writers, and residents subscribed to your beliefs?
...and your definition of "ADULT" should be in Webster's Dictionary. It's the best definition I've ever heard.
