[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know where I come out on this issue, because it is nuanced and complicated. But I am absolutely certain that most of you are bitter cowards, so insecure about your own choices and what may come that you find nothing at all odd about posting anonymously on DCUM.

[list]No one makes you feel any way; that's on you. If Joe or anyone else judged you for sending your kid to a charter and it bothers you (still) many years later then the issue is you, not him. If you are certain of your own choices then what one man had to say should have washed off you like water off a duck's back.[/list]
[list]You are all kind of missing the point here; he's acknowledging that this is a hard choice. That it forces reconciliation of public policy vs reality. That it requires preteens to help make real world decisions that have possible lifelong impacts.[/list]
[list]I can't tell if you are bothered by his lack of certainty? His certainty? It's confusing.[/list]
[list]I am not an elected official. I don't have to put myself out there and let the likes of you (and me) take shots, or act like there are easy answers, or have my preteen kids used as checkers pieces in a silly forum. People who do are to be commended. You know what elected officials don't usually worry about? People who sit at home in judgment on anonymous chat boards. You people aren't going to run against them. Or vote. Or canvas for better candidates. Your howling at the wind doesn't accomplish much.[/list]
[list]I'm sure Joe appreciates you all helping him to understand what his daughter thinks. Or helpfully suggesting that she should be allowed to participate. I'm certain that the only feedback he received from his daughter was the two lines in the Post article. And that it hasn't occurred to him to consider (or discount) what his daughter thinks. Thank heavens for you insightful people.[/list]
Most of the people posting on here are trolls; I get it. You people are amusing. But there are people chiming in here who truly think they are adding something to the discussion, or providing unique views or considerations to the Wheedon family. I feel sorry for that group of people. [/quote]

This sounds suspiciously like Amy Wheedon's writing.  Seems strange to chastise "about posting anonymously on DCUM" in an anonymous posting on DCUM.[/quote]

Y'all need to get a life! You're trying to out someone posting anonymously criticizing people for posting anonymously. This thread needs to be retired. It's beyond parody at this point.  :shock: [/quote]
