Oh the middle finger ANC is all about what’s in it for themselves. F*%k everyone else.

what could anyone possibly gain from being on the ANC? It's thankless. They didn't run for themselves; they ran because they want to improve their communities.

Giving the middle finger and telling people in their community to “F” off seems like a really odd way to demonstrate that they are in fact community oriented. Seems like behavior that indicates the opposite of that. But what do I know?

A minority opinion telling people they prefer a parking spot to safety for pedestrians and cyclists is a middle finger.

So you endorse elected officials engaging in this type of offensive behavior towards people with policy differences?

Look the pro biking people have to respond this way because they know they are in the minority. Their display of hate and intimidation is the only thing they have. They are just like trump. It is interesting that one of the ANC members who created the hostile environment says she is a LBGT activist and union organizer. She seems anything but inclusive, value others position, etc. Her actions shows she is just full of hate for others.

At this point, all five of them have publicly apologized. Of course, many don't view that as enough and will never do so. Indeed, nothing, not even voluntarily being driven over by a late model BMW on Connecticut Ave will be enough. Their profanity was the crime of the century and they shall be deprived of grace and forgiveness for their insolence.

Just because you have apologized should not insulate you from criticism of your behavior.

At what point can people move on, though? Drunkenly flicking off a silly* sign on the biggest night of their lives isn't exactly the Trumpish malfeasance some want it to be. They did something bad. They got caught. They apologized. The argument that they only apologized because they were caught is absurdly circular. People only apologize when they are called out on their actions.

Should they take some heat? Absolutely. Should everything they do from hereon (in an elected unpaid role) be tainted? Nope.


* the bike lanes are coming, regardless of this ANC or any other Ward 3 ANC. Spending money to defeat city hall on a minor something city hall wants to do is futile.

Here’s the thing that you don’t really understand which I think underlies a lot of the problems being presented here. You don’t get to decide when “people move on”, the residents of CP and the constituents of these commissioners get to decide that for themselves. By trying to deny their constituents a forum to present their dissatisfaction with immature and offensive behavior, it demonstrates also a lack of respect for the people of their community. Commissioners should represent their communities. However in this case it seems that they hold contempt for their neighbors in very significant ways. To be honest with you, this whole episode is pretty sad and continues to reflect on the profound immaturity of these commissioners such that their fitness to serve is in question. If they cannot even face up to their neighbors in an open forum and take their medicine, then they should not be an elected representative of anyone because that accountability is part of the job.

They are. The overhwelming majority WANT the bike lanes. Get it? YOU are the MINORITY and you want to clog up everyone else's mail box with BS because YOU can't let it go.

The issue is not about bike lanes anymore. It’s about immature and offensive behavior followed by attempts to prevent their neighbors from providing them direct feedback about it. It’s pretty sad when elected officials are so petty as to abuse power to prevent public accountability. Particularly when all they need to do is listen to their neighbors and provide an unconditional. But it seems like acting like adults is too hard for these people so they want to hide behind Roberts Rules of Order. How pathetic.

The "Save Conn Ave" people LIE. BALDLY LIE. Like their entire site is full of horse$$it. They spin up crap all the time just to keep this seeming to be a contentious issue. But its just spin. They spam email the DDOT people on the project with crap just to forestall it. People who deal in facts are frustrated that these jerks are allowed to spread their drivel relentlessly by the biased curators for CP and CC Listservs. So yeah, flick off their signs. Good.

I do not. Why do you tolerate overt hostility towards taking safety measures for your neighbors who don't drive?

If we were in teh minority, we wouldn't have virtually all of the publicly elected offiicials supporting the bike lanes. If they were so unpopular, someone who ran as an opponent would have won. In fact, in Cleveland Park, the guy who ran for Ward 3 Council did WORSE in those precincts than other precincts around the Ward, and under your assertion, he should have done a lot better. Get out of your bubble.

You have it backwards, my friend. Just like Trump, you continue to fight a battle that is already over. The bike lanes are happening, just like the 2020 election is decided long since. YOU are the one that is like Trump.

Sure keep spreading your hate, gaslighting, an attacking people, etc. You people are disgusting and what is wrong with this country. You sit here and defend elected officials openly and publicly giving the finger people. What the f is wrong with you?

Yeah, filing of frivolous lawsuits and spam emailing city officials is totally the behavior of normal people... whatever.
