A lot of private individuals are maligned on this web site. I hope Ms Buck (as moderator) has insurance.

Au contraire, mon ami
People who project themselves into the political arena are not private.. I am one for example. Every comment I make is subject to critical analysis and may be commented upon by any other citizen.I was not forced into the role.
When Catherine Marshall joined the public debate in a letter to the editor, after the St Kitts deluge of unsubstantiated allegations and unfounded accusations, permitted in a public, televised meeting by her friend and admirer,the former Mayor about this time three years ago.
Ms Marshall freely entered the arena.
One of the more repellent aspects of the situation was that my grand-daughter was present for a spectacle that degraded everyone present.
Ms Marshall offered later in said letter to the editor that my grand-daughter was not disturbed .
The experience might very well have been adverse for Hayley girl
had she witnessed grand mother participate in the shameful
display.
She did not.
On a motion , Council quickly moved beyond the episode to cheerful presentation of awards for art excellence to the group of children. They were ten years old . The joyful occasion was not tarnished by an action of mine. Or any sign the attack had caused personal distress.
Catherine Marshall, ironically,probably a judge of the art, had no such compunction .when she wrote the letter to the editor attempting to minimize the impact.
Privacy is surrendered when one jumps on all fours, uninvited, into a mud-wrestling pit that was Aurora's political arena for the past four years.
