LETTER # 1, WRITTEN BY A FORMER RESIDENT WHO VISITED WEDGEFIELD FOR A CHRISTMAS PARTY
LETTER # 2, WRITTEN BY BOARD MEMBER MC MILLIN IN RESPONSE
LETTER # 3, WRITTEN IN GLORIFICATION OF MC MILLIN, LACKING ANY REFERENCE TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND, MC MILLIN'S CRUDE CHRISTMAS DISPLAY
COMMENTS
I hope you will take time to really read the letters, as I - "the blogger", will flip back and forth between the letters, as I comment. The first letter, written by former resident Jude Davis, was unsolicited by me, as McMillin might like to lead you to believe. Do I agree with it? Yes, not from friendship, but because her words tell the story of the disgrace to our community, provided by McMillin, and his family artist. McMillin's statement, "Ms. Davis and the "blogger" were at the center of the canal controversy which was long ago resolved," is both an attack, a ridiculous add on (who spoke of canals), and exhibition of his apparent true dodge ball nature. First, why bring the canals in? No one else did, but perhaps it is his attempt to take the reader away from the issue, his gross, insult to the average person, banner. Further, McMillin was on the board with Ms. Davis and the "blogger", and voted to dredge and fund the dredging, and was sued, and countersued, as we were. Yet, at the vary same Christmas party mentioned by Ms. Davis, a new resident told of Mc Millin, telling him/her what a leadership role he played in the dredging! I guess with Mc Millin it depends what page he is reading from in his boards' man ship story book.
Mc Millin writes, "For a full year, I have been the victim of constant harassment in a "blog" from a close associate of Ms. Davis, henceforth referred to as the blogger." The "blogger" finds fault with everything that I say or do in my function as a board member and uses this material for her vindictive "blog" "The banner that Ms. Davis referred to came about as a result of my family members being deeply offended by what they read about me on the "blog."
Board member, Mc Millin, your family should understand that when you put your big boy pants on, and accept the role of board member, if you are legit, you and they understand that what you say at the board table, or you write under the signature of board member, should be done with such integrity, that you would have no problem with your words, or documents, being distributed. Since the words, your words, your documents, are transcribed from board tapes, or records secured from the office, your family should have no problem in how they represent you, unless you yourself, are embarrassed by your own words and actions.
McMillin goes on about rights stating, "The "blogger" stands by her right to free speech and expression under the first amendment. I expect the same. I did remove the banner before Christmas at my own choosing since my point had obviously been made as evidenced by Ms. Davis' letter. These trivial matters do not reflect the true character of Wedgefield, and this nonsense should be ended once and for all." First board member, McMillin, as the blogger, I've made no call to my first amendment rights. Perhaps the board attorney has if you asked. As to your first amendment rights, it appears that you are upset about your own words and actions, appearing on the blog, with appropriate references. You apparently took offense by my relating your own behavior at the BOARD TABLE, and attacked a resident literally from your board seat, when you put my house number on the gross banner. YOU were willing to insult and harm an entire community, including sellers of property, for your TRIVIAL temper tantrum, caused by your own words and actions. You failed to fulfill your role as a board member by these actions, and by most of your words and actions, documented in the blog, over far more than one year. Your fellow board members have obviously put you, and your ridiculous actions, before community, and any kind of decency standard.
To the two resident writers to the paper, who wrote of the wonders of board member McMillin, I respectfully suggest that you attend board meetings to see him, and his cronies on the board, as they twist our governing documents, and cover actions like this one. Maybe you are only getting the story of his actions at the board table from him. Remember the new resident who he told about his leadership in the canal dredging, and then writes that Ms. Davis and I, obviously not him, were at the center of the canal controversy? Perhaps board member, McMillin could have the banner duplicated, so it would be available for each of your neighborhoods next year. While he places benches, clears a pond, purchases a fountain, the concrete assets of this community are falling apart. Our assessment funds are wasted, and become more costly, when the board fails to get proper engineering and bid procurement, and contract awards.
Remember, we all have had to live with these problems.
