[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if I were outnumbered 40-2 at a meeting, I would probably also take up valuable time at the end of the meeting representing my POV to people who either didn't seem to be listening to a word I had said or didn't care.[/quote]

Interrupting people is ok as long as you are outnumbered?  They had no succinct points -- they were just angry and talked about traffic.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you're so angry at these people, but other people interrupted the moderator last night to get their points in.  Granted, they didn't do it during someone else's question, and I'm not saying it was right.  I'm just saying I understand it.  I'd be upset too if everyone was arguing in favor of something and didn't seem to be listening to how it would hurt me.  All the people at this Yorktown meeting should have gone to the Glen Carlin meeting instead; it might have done more good.

"No succinct points"?  Sheesh, it's a community meeting, not a trial.[/quote]

At least one of the GL participants had students graduate from HB -- they aren't impacted at all by school quality and just want to preserve the status quo - NIMBY all the way. Suspect other GL also had students who were aging out -- they got theirs and now want to deny a reasonable high school experience for the next generation of families. Because of traffic. [/quote]
