As I said before and I'll say again, I will not respond to demands for
information. The archives of this list, if they are currently
available, probably have all of the information you're asking for. I
have no obligation to tell you or any other private person anything
about myself when asked. (I volunteered some of this information just
last night at the Spruce Hill Christian School with a microphone in my
hand.) The same cannot be said of the developers of the Campus Inn.
They are required by law to make their interests transparent and to
hold public meetings about their plans and how they are spending their
money. Remember, *you* are making the comparison between myself and
the developers, not me.

he claims the authority to order other people how to spend their
money, because he is their secret neighbor, and he knows better than
they do what they should do with their own property.
Frank, what is your address, what is your phone number and what is
your economic interest in this discussion?

What do you do for a living, by the way, Frank? Where do you live,
and how do you afford to live there? Can you please tell the
neighborhood exactly who you are? You are a frequent angry critic
of how your neighbors manage their properties and their public
spaces; yet we know strangely little about you. What's the scoop?
How much do you pay to your landlord for the environment you think
this proposed hotel would disrupt? If information about the hotel
is rightfully public, isn't information about you rightfully
public as well? Tell us who you are and where you are.
No, the two don't follow. There is nothing even roughly equivalent.
My personal information is rightly private. Information regarding
an application for a zoning variance is just as rightly public. I
really have no secrets but I don't respond to bullying. Sorry.
Besides, the size and source of my income has no bearing on my
value as a member of this neighborhood.
Frank
