[UC] Car jacking confirmation

2007-08-06 Thread Glenn
Dear list,

It appears we do have a police problem. I just spoke with Sargeant Monk, #517, 
215-686-3268. He authorized me to post his information so you can confirm my 
reports. On Saturday, I confirmed with Officer Davis.

There was some type of car robbery incident on the 500 block of 44th, although 
details of the 2 accounts are disputed. I wasn't given the details. I explained 
how this misinformation has now placed me in the position of passing their 
misinformation publicly while looking for the truth. As I said before when the 
second account arrived, one way or the other we have a serious problem.

He apologized for the incorrect information I was given and had no explanation. 
I asked them to follow up and explain to me how they could give me incorrect 
information. And how I could be told that it was OK to expose it publicly as a 
false report. I'm going to also contact the police press room so that they can 
address this problem

I regret the period of misinformation in which I was involved, but did give you 
the reports exactly as I received them.

Now, I will return to the main headquarters and file a complaint with the 
police. I feel we all need some answers.

Sincerely,

Glenn Moyer

Mike:
 
I notice that you're on the civil citizens' list at sweetbarkingcheese.com  
-- so apparently you somehow don't approve of the gratuitous insults and  
antagonism admittedly shown too often on the UC list.
 
I haven't read your posts over there, but assume you've adopted a persona  
more suitable for the tea and crumpets crowd that joined it -- else why would  
you have signed up and why would the censors have let your messages  through?
 
So why the totally unnecessary nastiness here? OK, Glenn admittedly went a  
bit overboard after trying to get the facts from the copskies and being given  
false information. But, when he found out that he was mislead by 
Philadelphia's  finest, he posted what seems like a sincere correction. And you 
either 
can't  find it in your heart to let it go without a mean-spirited response, or 
even to  say something pleasant to encourage the kind of posts you purport to 
want by  going to the other list.
 
I noticed, by the way, that Melani Lamond is also posting to  
sweetbarkingcheese.com. But her post this morning on this list, in response to  
something by 
Al Airone, was useful and took no potshots whatever at people who  have chimed 
in on the carjacking topic with whom we know she doesn't always see  
eye-to-eye.

Al,
 
It would be unwise to make assumptions about what I do or don't approve
of based solely on what in which databases my name lies, especially
since you admit you haven't done the extremely small amount of research
necessary to make your claims plausibe.  
 
Listen, you and I have butted heads in the past, and god willing will
continue to do so in the future, but you've never struck me as
particularly insane.  We disagree vehemently on many things, but you've
always seemed, if nothing else, a rational, thinking human being.  I
understand that you've got something against the other list, but you
cannot seriously look me in the keyboard and tell me that you think that
what Glenn has done with this issue over the last few days doesn't smack
of looney-tunes?  Surely your sophistry doesn't extend that far.

Good points, sort of.
 
But you (and everyone else) know that I'm denigrating the other list on  
purpose and I assume that almost everyone knows what that purpose is.
 
But what you say above is a bit of misdirection. The fact is that your post  
was gratuitously insulting and is reflective of the kinds of things we should  
all be trying to avoid. Not by a few people picking up their marbles and 
going  elsewhere (while still keeping their eyes on where they've been), but by 
being  more tolerant of people with opposing views. I'm not saying I haven't 
slipped on  occasion, but I try not to do this. Which explains why I felt 
comfortable  challenging Brian Siano's assertion that I engaged in 
mean-spirited 
rants and  Phil Forrest's statement that I spewed filth because I knew they 
couldn't back  them up with quotes that would have been readily available in 
the 
archives if  not in their own files.
 
If someone goes overboard -- occasionally or frequently -- I think the  wrong 
thing to do is to respond in kind. Sometimes, no response is the best  
response. Other times, a measured response to what the person is trying to say, 
 and 
not how it's said, would be appropriate.
 
Yeah, OK, I've come back on some people -- often but not always when they  
attack me for what seems like no reason other than they either disagreed with  
something I wrote or with what they think I think. Far more often, I just let 
it  go.
 
It seems that you don't like Glenn, or at least don't like the way he  
handles things. But you could have done yourself and everyone else a service in 
 
this particular case by thanking him for explaining the error he was making and 
 
agreeing that police misinformation is a problem we should look into -- and 
left  out the insults. Those who think Glenn is paranoid would think so without 
your  accusation. Those who think he's right will think so despite your  
accusation.
 
I quoted something from Amy Gutmann's book about deliberative democracy the  
other day. Yes, I chide what seem to be her pretensions on this topic --  not 
because I think what she says is wrong, or silly, or anything like that. But  
because I honestly believe she may only practice what she preaches when she  
thinks she's among the other anointed and doesn't think it at all necessary 
when  she'd dealing with us of the benighted -- that's a big part of what being 
 
anointed is all about. Here's another quote from her book (emphasis added to  
show what I think is the point):

Deliberation cannot make incompatible values compatible, but it can help  
participants recognize the moral merit in their opponents' claims  when those 
claims have merit. It can also help deliberators  distinguish those 
disagreements 
that arise from genuinely  incompatible values from those that can be more 
resolvable than  they first appear. And it can support other practices of 
mutual 
 respect, such as the economy of moral disagreement described  earlier. 
 
{There's a good chapter on-line at 
_http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s7869.html_ 
(http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s7869.html)  if  anyone is 
interested. Get past the stuff about Bush and Iraq to get to the  heart of the 
matter 
as opposed to one manifestation thereof.]

I'm not opposed to bluntness -- the rough and tumble that Joe  Clark 
thought ill of me for saying and didn't notice how gratuitously  insulting he 
was 
being when he posted to that effect -- if it cuts to the  chase. But it doesn't 
have to cut to the bone.

I don't _need_ to back it up with quotes: long-time readers of this list 
have seen more than enough of your track record. The gratuitous insults 
at UCD employees. Your consistent insulting of Melani Lamond; she claims 
that you'd threatened to sue her. And lately, your eagerness to accuse 
Kyle Cassidy of engaging of censorship, and of childish motives of 
taking his toys and going away.And those of us who've _tried_ to work 
with you on things, like the Historic District issue a few years back, 
know how quickly you turn angry and insulting on the slightest 
provocation-- like, when people won't do what you tell them.


Generally, Al, you _are_ a pretty mean-spirited fellow around here. I'll 
grant that you occasionally back off from these with Uriah Heep-like 
admissions, but I've known you long enough to recognize hypocrisy.


(Granted, _I_ can be pretty mean-spirited... but I don't pretend I'm _not_.)

This comment makes no sense at all. It assumes that people who joined

rough'n'tumble Purple list. And if they get tetchy or argumentative 
here, they're hypocrites.


It's also a typically shoddy tactic: claim that the other person 
_should_ follow some rule of behavior that you've invented for them, and 
accuse them of hypocrisy or dishonesty when they _don't_. Here's a 
clearer example; Aren't liberals supposed to be helping the poor? Then 
why haven't you given your house to crackheads?


Of course, if we follow Al's logic... if _this_ list is supposed to be 
free and open and uncensored, and _not_ for the tea-and-crumpets 
etiquette as Al says... then doesn't it make sense that insults and 
invective are _supposed_ to appear here? So why is Al suddenly demanding 
civility?

I guess that's because that's the some reason that that list was 
supposedly created to begin with.
And the reason why people here were encouraged to join that list. And the 
reason why some claimed they did so. So, if someone joins a list whose 
entire reason for existing claims to be its civility, why shouldn't its 
members be accused of hypocrisy when they come back here and engage in the 
very behavior they claim drove them away?

 discussion that occurs here. No one is excluded or protected on Kyle's 
new listserv
 either. You can still take the conversation there, if you want to, and 
your bat

 and ball.

 This weekend, the heavy-handed people on the purple list found out that 
their

readers now have the option to move away, and clearly, they don't want that
to happen.   So - did they offer to moderate their language and help 
develop a

set of guidelines?   No, they became even more heavy-handed!   Several
attacked Bruce Anderson for suggesting guidelines.   Some even tried to 
blame Jon
Herrmann, who wrote that he had not read the last 13,000 emails posted on 
the
purple list in the last 15 months - now, that shows how involved HE is, 
doesn't
it?   Some renewed conspiracy theories, one generated new spoof posts, and 
as

usual, a small but noisy group attacked the person who saw a need to do
something and actually DID it.

But, why should we be stuck with a dysfunctional list which will not 
change?


I came in for criticism for saying it would be heaven to be on a list 
without

one particularly voluminous ranter who has focused on me, sometimes
alarmingly.   Why would I want to be on a list with member who sends out 
fantasy emails

about what he wants to have happen to me in Clark Park?   Why would I
recommend that the buyers and sellers I work with join a listserv where 
they'd read

that kind of stuff with my name in it, where a neighborhood fanatic would
single me out for ridicule though I've never even met the man?   Is it any 
surprise

I think it will be heaven to be on a list where that sort of email isn't
likely to be tolerated?

Kyle CAN ban that individual on the new list, but he won't, if the 
individual

is civil to his fellow list members.   Anyone can sign up, and the archives
are public, so even non members can read what's written.   There's no
conspiracy and lots of transparency.

I'm afraid that spoof addresses have been posted more often than the 
actual

one for Kyle's new list, so I'll include it again here to counteract the
usual poster

Kyle does not speak for everyone who happened to sign up for the mailing

  people a hair-trigger away from leaving the listserv and the 
  community discussion that occurs here. No one is excluded or 
  protected on Kyle's
new listserv
  either. You can still take the conversation there, if you want to, 
  and
your bat
  and ball.
 
  This weekend, the heavy-handed people on the purple list found out 
  that
their
readers now have the option to move away, and clearly, they don't want
that
to happen.   So - did they offer to moderate their language and help 
develop a
set of guidelines?   No, they became even more heavy-handed!   Several
attacked Bruce Anderson for suggesting guidelines.   Some even tried to

blame Jon
Herrmann, who wrote that he had not read the last 13,000 emails posted 
on
the
purple list in the last 15 months - now, that shows how involved HE is,

doesn't
it?   Some renewed conspiracy theories, one generated new spoof posts,
and 
as
usual, a small but noisy group attacked the person who saw a need to do
something and actually DID it.

But, why should we be stuck with a dysfunctional list which will not
change?

I came in for criticism for saying it would be heaven to be on a list
without
one particularly voluminous ranter who has focused on me, sometimes
alarmingly.   Why would I want to be on a list with member who sends
out 
fantasy emails
about what he wants to have happen to me in Clark Park?   Why would I
recommend that the buyers and sellers I work with join a listserv where

they'd read
that kind of stuff with my name in it, where a neighborhood fanatic
would
single me out for ridicule though I've never even met the man

I take your point, and it's not unreasonable.  However, his posting
volume is relatively consistent whether or not anyone replies to him.
The man creates his own controversy.  Take this recent carjacking thing
-- he worked himself into a lather without any help from yours truly.
Thus the occasional email chastising him for his inappropriateness
(which you can argue is in itself inappropriate -- though I disagree)
doesn't really have an adverse affect one way or the other.

I am curious about Brian Siano¹s rant about Karen Allen calling people
racist after he had accused me, (for the same reason) of being one of the
reasons Kyle formed the UC Neighbors Listserv.

His invective does not seem innocuous about race.  Neither does Bruce

 Is the new list only to take nasty potshots at those of us  on the UC
 Listserv, only to be sweetness and light on the UC Neighbors at Penn
 Listserv?
 
 And if so, then why?

 Mike:
  
 I notice that  you're on the civil citizens' list at sweetbarkingcheese.com
 -- so  apparently you somehow don't approve of the gratuitous insults and
 antagonism admittedly shown too often on the UC list.
  
 I haven't  read your posts over there, but assume you've adopted a persona
 more  suitable for the tea and crumpets crowd that joined it -- else why
 would you  have signed up and why would the censors have let your messages
 through?
  
 So why the totally unnecessary nastiness here? OK,  Glenn admittedly went a
 bit overboard after trying to get the facts from the  copskies and being
 given false information. But, when he found out that he  was mislead by
 Philadelphia's finest, he posted what seems like a sincere  correction. And
 you either can't find it in your heart to let it go without  a mean-spirited
 response, or even to say something pleasant to encourage the  kind of posts
 you purport to want by going to the other list.
  
 I  noticed, by the way, that Melani Lamond is also posting to
 sweetbarkingcheese.com. But her post this morning on this list, in response
 to something by Al Airone, was useful and took no potshots whatever at
 people who have chimed in on the carjacking topic with whom we know she
 doesn't always see eye-to-eye.
  
 Always at your service   ready for a dialog,

What has her accusing you of hypocrisy have to do with your assertion of her

I never said that Karen accused me of racism.

I said that Glenn Moyer accused Tony West of racism. I pointed out that 
Karen didn't object to this ugly smear at all, and I asked if she felt 
that accusations of racism were OK, or if she shared Glenn's grudge 
against Tony.

What's up with THAT?
  
Glenn was wrong, and he discredited himself. I just spelled it out for 
everyone.


Thank you for acknowledging that he has been discredited.


Is it civilized conversation (when attacks are made on the original UC
Listserv), or a more politically expedient listserv for a developmental
plan, where there might be some oppositional input?
  
This _is_ the unmoderated list, where oppositional input such as yours 
is present. That's why I'm raising this _here_.

So what's the story, Karen? Is it OK to accuse people of racism? Do you
share Glenn's deranged grudge against Tony? Is this some personal thing
between you and me that I'm unaware of? Is your list a place where
only certain people get bad-behavior passes?

Very well.

Then why mention it to Karen if you were accusing Glenn Moyer?
