Dear Mark,
I recently purchased this computer I sit at tonight primarily to get on the email bandwagon with my friends and family and to be able to view this website and this discussion area. I have heard you speak of it on occasions when we have been together and it piqued my curiosity. I also get the newsletter delivered to my mailbox and read it with interest.
Mark, our paths have crossed many times. We have sat side by side in meetings about school issues, attended sports events and spoke and many other times, too. I have always held a high opinion of you and what you seem to stand for. Let me say that since I have taken the time to go back to the beginning of these discussion boards and read them one by one, I have begun to see another side to you. You have a very dark side in you that is coming out. Mark you need to take a step back and assess what is really important to you. Are you sacrificing your values by lowering yourself to the petty levels you have reached here? You have resorted to some very tawdry tactics to make your points. Is this the battle you choose to fight? Aren?’t there more important issues for you to tackle than the petty bickering you have perpetuated?
Based on our conversations there was a time that I would have been proud to support you in this forum with my name and email posted as you demand because I thought I knew you. But that time is gone and so is my respect for you. I also worry that people might actually believe some of the things you post here. You seem to not be able to take a stand and defend it. You waver back and forth evading and attacking.
Mark, do as I did and read all the postings. Try and be objective when you read what you wrote. You might agree that the time has come for you to get a little more positive about things and just get on with your life outside PATA. You have a lot to offer the community. I am sorry to say that I cannot associate with you in the future. I will go my own way as you have gone yours.
I thought we were friends. I thought I knew you. I was wrong. And so are you.
