Nobody's "beating up on" anyone here. But it's a small town; charges against someone "anonymously" are often and easily identified. The focus needs to be on real offenses, and if "people in the neighborhood" feel any law enforcement personnel has let them down, they are free to write letters to the editor, join Vision 2020, meet likeminded friends for lunch and vent, or do anything else. My concern is simply that a good man like Phil Gray not be maligned unfairly; the crime here is solely Sitlerian, and I'm confident that the law will do its work fairly, rightly, and swiftly.<br><br>keely<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">"And these women that you spit on as they try to change their worlds/</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Are immune to your consultations . . . they're quite aware of what they're going through"</span><br>(With apologies to David Bowie)<br><br><br>> From: privatejf32@hotmail.com<br>> To: joekc@adelphia.net; vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 20:21:32 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Sitler wore a Kirk-orangejumpsuit:Mr.Schwallerdidnot appear<br>> <br>> To set the record straight, I did not, NOT, "out" SD Gray...his wife did.
