Subject: Need a time out?

People, people, people. . .what flew up your britches??!! Really, it’s getting to the point that a person has to put on a suit of armor before reading the chatlist anymore. Can’t we get back to requests and recommendations instead of all these mean-spirited recriminations? Sheesh!! Go on, drive in the left-hand lane to the nearest place that accepts Plentys and have yourselves a big ol’ mixed drink, for goodness sake.

Overheard on polling day:

“Sir, how do you feel about liquor by the drink?”

“Well, it’s a bit early, but if you’re offering….”

Subject: we think this is a hoax

Sharon and others, an associate in my office, Chatham County Planning Department, has looked into this posting and we think this is a hoax.

I suppose it could become a reality in the future that Chatham County or the Town of Pittsboro could receive an application such as this, but this posting seems to be bogus.

Have a good day,  Lynn Richardson

Subject: Randy Voller’s Post

Mr. Voller – Do you have a problem with people having a different opinion than you?

Today, I read a post in  the Chatlist that a gentlemans club is waiting to come to Chatham County if this passes. Is this the way to better the quality of life in Chatham County? Believe it or not, there are people who object to Liquor by the Drink and the effects that it will have .

“VOTE AGAINST LIQUOR BY THE DRINK” on May 5th

Subject: Baptist Association: No Position on Referendum

I was surprised (and disappointed) see the post by Randy Voller, announcing that an organization called “Sandy Creek Baptist Association Against Liquor by the Drink” had registered as a political action group to oppose the mixed beverage referendum – clearly implying that the large association of local Baptist churches had voted in some way to become involved in the political campaign.

A few responses to the previous Chatlist, bottom-posted for chronological happy times.  All offensive and caustic, of course.

I’m not too sure you are right in this, Gene, since at least two posters on  this chatlist digest have admitted being influenced by the hoax posting.

Subject: phony posting

Unfortunately, I need to weigh in and disagree that we are all sophisticated enough to tease truth from fiction when an undeclared hoax post makes the listand it is NOT April Fools Day.

Many people choose to skim the chatlist most of the time rather than skip it. I do miss some days – but most get a quick look.

I my case, “skim” means that I may not read closely enough to catch subtleties and I don’t read every post. So I especially appreciate topic lines that clearly describe the message contents.
