This isn't bullying, and I find it very odd that people are characterizing it as bullying. I'm with the top PP; this is normal stuff for a candidate running for public office. In fact, far worse things have been said about candidates running for public office. [/quote]

The difference to me is that this is a lowly BOE race, not running for higher office. We've never seen anything like this for a BOE race in the past, at least as far back as I can remember.

It's not like a seat on the BOE is worth it for $$, power, or prestige. You get paid $25k/year, and everyone complains at you all day. My guess is this is why the current at-large member decided not to run again -- she know it would be like this and she didn't need the stress for a $25k/year thankless job (and I dont' blame her).

Looking on DCUM, there have been so many threads about Austin -- one of 15 candidates -- that Jeff even had to lock a few. That just seems way out of hand. I don't see even 1 thread on most of the candidates. What gives? The thread topics tend to be negative towards Austin, so I doubt it's his supporters starting them. [/quote]
