OK. This is pointless. I don't get personal on here and your ranting
actually scares me. I'm done responding to you.

Frank, just quit writing posts in which you attack the work of
volunteer neighbors who tackle public-planning tasks you are not
willing to tackle yourself. It is one thing to offer suggestions to
improve their judgements, which "public input" is supposed to do. It
is another thing to criticize these volunteers for failing to read
your mind while they work, and for failing to agree that yours is
the only opinion that matters.
In committee work, many voices are heard and the final outcome
rarely reflects the view of any one person. That's the view of a
volunteer who sits INSIDE a committee. You stand outside a committee
and refuse to sit on it. Yet you want to criticize it for failing to
do what it should have done, if you had deigned to lead
said committee down a path of righteousness only you know.
But you aren't on this committee, Frank. Neither am I. I'm not the
boss and I respect the patient, tedious, unglamorous labors of my
neighbors who serve on this committee. Humility is an important
virtue.
How about you? What do you think about your neighbors who care
enough to have been working on this problem for months and years?

You are the guy who always demands more info on Lussenhop,
Grossbach, etc., etc. It's always about banging somebody else's
business with you, is it not?
I'm not into that. I'm not into banging your business or
Lussenhop's business or Grossbach's business. That's how we differ
in public. In private, you might be a friendly and fascinating guy
without a mean bone in your body, and I might be a skunk. But on UC-
list, you're always complain complain complain. Why? Do you have a
non-complaining life? If so, could you share it with us once in a
while?
Why don't you just ease off on your neighbors? Must you always
gripe about them? Can we not have a minute of peace and respect for
each other on this listserve?
