Now Ray thinks "ad hominem" means *any* attempt to address him personally during a discussion..

Notice how Ray, whenever possible, uses the communal "we". Ray dreams of holding a unique authority to publish as Mr. We, His Community's Voice. Lewis Wendell, who also lives in the neighborhood and actually accomplishes things, is never "we"; Ray allows only Ray to be "we".

Plainly in this case, Ray, anything you can do, as Melani suggested, the rest of us can do also. If we want to know "when and how UCD helped Dock Street get installed in the Firehouse," we can talk courteously and directly to the principals about their business. I have done some of that, and while I still may not know The Whole Truth, I know more than you do.

I notice two things about your internet-only methodology: (1) you are abnormally rigid and limited in your approach to learning, unlike most people who probe subjects that matter to them; (2) you endlessly complain you don't understand what's going on.

Your two problems are related. They are not "our" problems; they are yours. Point of fact.

Ray, each community association has a representative on the board of the UCD. There is one for Spruce Hill and one for Walnut Hill, both covering areas near your apartment. If you don't like what the UCD is doing, go to the community associations and ask them to exercise better oversight.

sorry, resorting to ad hominem here isn't helpful. this isn't about me or what you assume about me. it's about you or any of us being able to say when and how ucd helped dock street get installed at the firehouse -- regardless of how we like what ucd is doing, regardless of what neighborhood association we ask.
