		<description><![CDATA[Rule #1 of public life.  When someone attacks you, just smile and walk away. When you respond, you give them another opportunity to attack.  And remember the attack and there will come a time to get even, maybe years later, but it will come.  And, if you are like me, you won&#039;t be able to lower youself far enough to get even.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doug - In answer to your question in #2, according to the chart posted on SFGate, approximately 75% of those making over $100K are police or firefighters.  Of those making over $140K a year, I would say (guesstimate - I&#039;m SURE someone will do the math here) that 90% of them are police officers or firefighters.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I still remember some months ago when Matt was on furlough, Marty posted something in very objectionable and provocative language on this blog. Do you all remember ? She/ he thought it was fun ! I can&#039;t find it now, probably it was pulled off the blog by Matt.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marty,

The word &quot;official&quot; does not appear anywhere in FL&#039;s statement.  Again, you post about something that only exists in your mind.

Bbox,

This person who calls him/herself &quot;Marty&quot; seem to me to be a &quot;troll,&quot; an internet term for those who post only to stir up anger and irritation in others.  The last thing a person like this desires is to act as a catalyst to fuel debate/discussion.  Instead, the aim is to get attention, even though it&#039;s negative.  I suspect this sort of behavior is listed in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).

		<description><![CDATA[Marty has frequently posted provocative statements which are of a personalized nature.  This individual has little desire to contribute to shared understanding but is simply acting as a catalyst to fuel debate/discussion. . . . .  this is a BLOGGING equivalent of &quot;hot talk&quot; which, benefits whom ????

Certainly not those who desire to exchange thoughts or ideas -

Kudos to Vinnie for taking the high road and not &quot;the bait&quot;.

So - who benefits from M artzy&#039;s &quot;hot talk &quot; ?

Ishan - when you have a moment - check out post number 15 in this thread.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the record, I have not endorsed Mr. Shah for Council and have no plans at present to do so.  To my knowledge, Mr. Bacon is not currently running for any elected office.

I could be irritated because you&#039;re stupid; I could be angry because you&#039;re evil, but I&#039;m not.  You see, every time you post, you show people exactly who you are.  There is nothing left for me to say.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marty,

Any so-called joke that takes that much explaining is obviously only a joke in the mind of the person who told it.  It seems that your brand of humor is something appreciated by only a very small group, mostly comsisting of you.  Why not stick to the issues and leave the humor to more appropriate venues?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“I heard Vinnie Bacon had an insufferable case of colic when he was an infant. He’s a lot more mellow now.” (Marty)

See, I thought that was funny, because in that thread Lifer was beating to death the fact that he&#039;s known Bob Wieckowski since he was in diapers, and using that fact to give his opinion on the man more importance.

Looking back, it&#039;s a bit ironic that I referenced you as a colicy baby.

Vin, to try and conclude this tit for tat, let me assure you that it was a Bacheloratte joke for christ&#039;s sake, at Lifer&#039;s expense (because he thinks candidates should be falling over themselves to address his every concern, get it?).  No harm to you was intended.  Get over it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read the whole thread for context.  The fact is that a few new, anonymous people can onto this site for just that item and posted several negative things about me.  They haven&#039;t been back since then.  I stand by my comments.

I&#039;m not &#039;crying like a child&#039;.  I&#039;m trying to defend myself.  Or should I just sit back and let people make childish comments like:

&quot;I heard Vinnie Bacon had an insufferable case of colic when he was an infant. He’s a lot more mellow now.&quot; (Marty)

Is that what you think the purpose of this blog is?  To subject public figures to your jokes?  And we&#039;re cry babies if we ask you to stop?

You&#039;ve been baiting me for a while with your comments.  Once I bit, you&#039;re all lined up to do a wholesale criticism of me and portray me as someone who can&#039;t stand up for himself.  You obviously don&#039;t like me.  Maybe you could just tell us why.  It clearly started long before today.]]></description>
