[UC] Roots of incivility in discourse
In order to maintain the gains made (since members confronted tactics to rule this public information forum); this response needs to be immediately confronted: Mr West responds to a new post: There are two neighborhood listserves you may be referring to This absurd misunderstanding of a fellow subscriber's request for assistance is fake! (It's easy to forget technical steps to refer a friend to this list, just as people forget passwords. That is the help our neighbor obviously requested in good faith.) Mr West has shown a continuous effort to attack public discourse, and simultaneously glorify the need for censorship and domination of information! Once again, that was his goal. Consider his response carefully. In this case, West's misunderstanding set-up was not done to his usual targets, but to a neighbor making a first post, an understandable request for assistance! Sure, a sophisticated writer could have still sang out the praises of censorship and glorified the power of Penn's network, but was using the dishonest straw question either civil or honest Many of us strive to make our political positions clear to our neighbors. But consider West's pattern of misunderstandings in terms of arrogance and deception. Doesn't it appear that he is confident that the vast majority of us can't see that the constructed misunderstandings are arrogant deceptions and attempts to manipulate??? Intentional dishonesty and dependence on fallacious tactics are major roots of incivility in our society. This type of tactic used on new participants to a listserv has a chilling effect on speech and participation from normal citizens. (For further study of the fallacious straw man strategy see Mr. West's Glenn's Whores series or Ray Is A Liar series in the public archives of the purple list, available to the world) Please support new participants on our vital community forum! Mr. West's tactics have become a far outlier compared to the vast body of our neighbors' posts. Thanks for seriously considering this fallacious tactic, the chilling effect on neighborhod communication, and such tactics as the most pernicious roots of incivility in discourse! Mr. West has shown his abiity to abuse power to silence participation at the Friends of Clark Park, a broken civic association he has ruled since 2003. He can't destroy this public forum unless we allow him to lash out unchecked! Sincerely, Glenn Moyer, citizen journalist PS: The true roots of incivility are often confused with stern confrontation. Deception is always a root of incivility even if cloaked with fake helpfulness, while confrontation of deception is often attacked and mislabled as incivility.

[UC] Local restaurant question
UCD's marketing publication, The Quest, claims that a restaurant called Guacamole will open at 46th and Woodland. That seems confusing because I don't see any open store front. Does anyone know anything? Also, I think I saw something about a Sangria mix available at The Gold Standard. I forgot to ask about this. Has anyone tried it? Lastly, I usually avoid any promotion of businesses, but I support sharing vegan tips. I can recommend the tofu scramble at The Gold Standard. I also commend the management for offering it at a neighborhood people's price of $4 and including a few pieces of cantelope. (I'd like to see more simple healthy options available at people's prices in neighborhood restaurants.) Thanks, Glenn You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

Anyone know what is moving into 47th Cedar- where the Carrot Cake Man used to be? When I drive by in the mornings I see renovations taking place.

[UC] Blaming the poor, 144 comments
Dear neighbors, I wanted to share the link to this Inquirer piece earlier. Of the 144 comments mine was very early, glennm7. I wanted to discuss more background with you, about the issues and policies in the original story. But... Oh my God, read the 144 comments. These comments are heartbreaking and frightening. How can serious policy discussions take place with this level of ignorance and hatred? http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_top_left_story/20100215_In_hard_times__Americans_blame_the_poor.html?viewAll=Ytext=#comments Very sadly, Glenn You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

[UC] New Asian Restaurant
I'm not certain of the name but it is the one next to the laundromat below 47th on Baltimore. I stopped in last Saturday and ordered the Mongolian chicken. It was very good. I noticed their hours of operation extend until midnight. May be nice for those later cases of munchies. Has anyone else tried it? Joe

Re: [UC] New Asian Restaurant
It's Green Garden. My partner and I ate there on Friday night. There is zero atmosphere but the food was fresh, delicious and obviously cooked-to-order. The prices are reasonable, too. As I was checking out their website on my iPhone, the cashier/waitress told me she designed it. She was quite proud. http://www.greengardenatpenn.com/ Frank On Feb 15, 2010, at 09:03 PM, Joe Clarke wrote: I'm not certain of the name but it is the one next to the laundromat below 47th on Baltimore.
