I'd like to modify what I said in my previous post. I received 3 off-line replies calling me, among other names, a lying b____. I am sorry. I should not have said that Jason was "blocking" the door. It seemed innocuous enough when I was writing it, but on rereading it, not precise. I just meant that the issue was where he was passing out literature (at the door), not that he was passing it out in the park, or the contents. The fact that I received these name-calling, enraged reponses makes me think that things are a little out of proportion, and maybe out of control. In fact I think the whole incident is a symptom of that and a natural outcome of the very personal attacks. I'll try to be more constructive and respectful of differences of opinion.

No one ever said people couldn't campaign in the parks. Of course people can campaign and pass out literature for whatever they want in the parks. People do it all the time. Parks are great places to campaign and exercise freedom of speech. Jason was blocking the door and it violated some rule about egress. That's all. This forum is like a lynch mob. My great grandmother always said "No matter how thin the paper, there's always two sides." I truly don't think in this case we are fighting evil. Nikki Carlson Linden Hills REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
