[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, the people who received nicknames didn't get them just for disagreeing. Plenty of people have disagreed. They received nicknames for acting so irrationally at a board meeting that security was needed (and then outing themselves online) or using the word "data" so often and with an air of authority that only he truly knew what "data" meant that the arrogance was too much for most to ignore.[/quote] No, it's not fair. We don't teach our children to call each other names and we shouldn't do it ourselves. No excuses. [/quote] I'll tell you what- let's make a deal. If you get the anti-moves people to stop 1) shouting down the Staff when they are trying to answer public questions; 2) cheering when public meeting speakers accuse the staff of malfeasance; 3) shouting out the staff is being racist; 4) comparing the school moves to genocide; 5) accusing anyone who speaks in favor of staff of being a racist, I will stop using nicknames like 'data dude' and 'mccrazy'. [/quote] So if you see someone acting inappropriately, you should rise to their level? [/quote] DP. It’s a philosophical discussion that there is no moral relativism: if two things are “wrong” they are equally as bad.. so speeding, which is against the law, is the same as homicide, which is also against the law. I’ll have to agree with PP that the extreme behavior and verbal and public abuse of staff is not on par with being called names. The staff are not evil- they are doing a job, and people who subject them to abuse (not civil discourse, straight up verbal abuse) should be rightly criticized. [/quote]
