During
an email exchange with an elected representative, I received this:
“It appears from your Facebook comments
that you are more intent on discrediting me and my work in the Legislature than
on providing useful suggestions. I don’t pretend to do perfect work, and
if you make tough choices you’re going to anger someone along the way. I
can take the criticism. It’s part of the job. But to publicly
castigate a legislator—me or anyone else—by espousing information that seems
more ideologically based than factually grounded, I find troubling. The fact
that it comes from someone in my hometown (who I believe supports the same
aspirations I do for our community) only adds more sting to the jab.
I’d have been happy to sit down with
anyone at UFL. But after viewing the commentary on Facebook, I think any
discussion would probably devolve into a fruitless back and forth.”
A quick think back on my part yielded no
recall of any posting that I believe could be misconstrued as criticism, castigating
or stinging…So, how do I respond?
Trolling myself is the best and first place to start. I immediately went to my facebook and twitter
accounts to check my Activity Logs and this is what I found… Let’s do this
backwards.
