[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For pete's sake, stop calling these people nutters.  WTF is wrong with you?  They are citizens who disagree with your opinion of what to do with the land where they live.  Have some respect and argue the issues.  Do you think name calling improves the quality of discourse here?

And for the record, there were two people arguing the Glen Carlyn POV, a man and a woman, both of whom are perfectly nice people with reasons for what they argued.[/quote]

OK, fine, they're not nutters. But the man last night, especially, took up valuable time last night at the end of the meeting to shout points he had already made earlier in the evening.

The Arlington Way seems to have become -- and the School Board chair isn't going to be providing leadership out of this -- that you don't have to listen to opposing viewpoints, that you don't have to compromise, and that if someone disagrees with you, it's because they need to hear what you said again.

Those people may be perfectly nice in other situation, and the woman was at least civil, but neither seemed to understand that everyone is going to have to sacrifice something they want to make sure we're meeting all the needs of the community, and they didn't seem to have any solutions, only complaints.
