Mr. Mangin please reconsider

[Guest bill young]

Think again, Jimbo!! Try to remember every conversation you've had in, oh say, the last five weeks.

And despite all your derogatory statements about me--you just can't resist reading my posts and responding! Can you? The fact that I have the power to commandeer even a miniscule portion of your thought is enough reward for me.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Typical response for a power junky. But, what Jim says is still true. Right now you play with his frustration, so feed your ego.

Get a sense of humor.  Get an intellect.  Better yet, GET LOST.

If this and the other posts attributed to Bert Diaz were actually written by him, then he, as a school administrator, should be ashamed. A public school principal who misspells simple words, employs run-on sentences and has a total disregard for punctuation? (His math skills are adequate, though. He knows that 1 out of 3 equals 1/3; but conversely, does he realize that means that 2/3 of the Mayor's ticket won?) Worst of all, this man who should serve as a paradigm for children, embraces and perpetuates an unsubstantiated "rumor" to further his own agenda.

Please, Norberto! Say it isn't you!

Bert,

I agree. Change is coming to the Board of Education, and that change is long over-due.

As for running together, let's just say that election is eight and a half months away. Right now, I'm interested in seeing how this BOE handles the budget cuts from the Town Council. My guess is they'll go after the groups with little political power, while ignoring the "big ticket" costs that go to a chosen few.

The BOE has the opportunity to do the right thing. All I can suggest is to stay informed and stay involved.

Jim Mangin

ps - turn your CAPS LOCK off. Thanks.

[Jim Mangin]

Getting a little bit testy, huh Jim?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yea I guess. But that's ok.

I'm still right. And he's (she's) still an ass.

In other words, Bert, Jimbo sees you as a liability! Quite a nifty brush-off!!

I believe that was the point he was making.

Who does want to be associated with Bert? Who again was on Bert's BOE ticket? Nobody.

Even his biggest supporters at Washington School are now singing the praises of Mary Costello and saying Bert who?.

Yes. I am proud to have taken the votes from Dave Stevenson.Thus, his team won but he lost. See "Joe W" in political stratagems they title that THE SPOLIER.I was very proud to have the opportunity in SPOLING Dave Stevenson'selection. I would have prefered to have won a seat on the BOE but I still felt very victorious because of his lost. Hey "Joe W" don't forget to correct my spelling, syntax, grammar and overall all writing content because I know how important that makes you feel, with that " ADVANCED STANDING KARDINAL BIRD WITH A K " TITLE YOU HAVE.

Please allow me to correct Mr. Diaz' posting:

1) punctuation following "Yes" would have been better served by a comma rather than a period;

2) inferred pause following "See" requires a comma;

3) words spelled incorrectly---spoiler, spoiling, preferred, loss

4) phrase should read, "opportunity to", not "opportunity in"

5) "overall all" is a redundancy

6) general sentence structure is fragmented and lacks clarity

The errors are so numerous that I'm sure I must have missed some. Perhaps Joe W. would care to add something.

Mr. Diaz, as an educator and administrator, you should be extremely aware of your communication skills as presented on a public forum. It is most disturbing that you have taken such a cavalier attitude regarding your lack thereof.
