Subject: Right to sell your own belongings without apology?
As far as I know, once a person buys something either privately, or at an auction, or whatever, it belongs to them and they have the right to sell it to whomever and for however much they please. Why should anyone have to answer to you Rodger, or anyone else, to sell their own personal property? What right do you have to even comment on such a thing? “Wise stewardship of Chatham-acquired funds – ?” What kind of bunk is that?? So anyone who earns money in Chatham County isn’t supposed to spend it outside of Chatham
County? Or if they do they owe you an explanation?
Everyone better cancel your vacations out of the country! Rodger will call you out on the chatlist for spending your Chatham-acquired funds unwisely!! And why do you assume they are trying to “appease” Chatham Arts? In fact, Tamera and Vernon have been long time supporters of Chatham Arts and have always been extremely generous with their time and resources in support of Chatham Arts and other causes in Chatham County. (Long before you felt the need to take them
to task).
They have always been willing to lend a hand or a donation. How dare you presume to know anything about them? They don’t have to appease anyone. And as to what they plan to spend THEIR money on that them receive from selling THEIR personal belongings, what damn business is it of yours or anyone else’s? Anyone who knows Tamera and Vernon would know that accusing them of a strategic move to secure a high position and servants is just pure crap. You are talking about two good, kind, giving, generous people
who have always given back to the community, and you obviously don’t have a clue. I understand Gene allows inflammatory and degrading posts about public officials, a decision I don’t agree with but can at least understand the public persona exception. But to allow private citizens to be attacked in this manner for no reason whatsoever simply because they posted items for sale on his community chatlist is unconscionable.
You owe your readers more than that, Gene.
We have to put up with Gene’s private little war against the coalition if we want to read his chatlist I guess, but this goes too far. Shame on you Rodger and Gene both. Shameful.
