<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">What is wrong with you, Tom?<br><br>Sorry, I don't follow your logic. If you want to play third grade games by making fun of my name, I guess you can do that to your hearts delight. But, my name is Donovan, not Arnold. Arnold is my last name. Arnold is the first name of other people, NOT ME. If you use my last name, "Arnold" only do so with the attachment of "Donovan" or "Mr. at the front of it. If we went only by last names, I would have the same name as my mother, father, sister, brother, uncle, nieces, grandparents and that would be damn confusing when asking someone at the dinner table to pass the jello. <br><br>Nobody I know calls me Arnold. If they did, I would correct them. My name is Donovan, not Arnold. Why is that so hard to understand, Tom?<br><br>OK, maybe if we were in boot camp, I would accept being called Arnold, or if there were two people named
Donovan Arnold in the same room, which has never happened in my life time, and even so, then I would go by my middle name if he were older or of higher position. <br><br>As to the issue of John Dickinson, you asked who, and I answered that is why his name came up, I said who, but followed that name by disqualifying the validity of the statement because it was unfair to John. Tom, Don't debate what I have already conceded as not being admissible material. <br><br>Best Regards,<br><br>Donovan<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 2/10/09, Tom Hansen <i><thansen@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Water Sale Bill<br>To: donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com, "Tom Hansen" <thansen@moscow.com>, "Joe Campbell" <philosopher.joe@gmail.com>, vision2020@moscow.com, "roger hayes"
<rhayes@turbonet.com><br>Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 5:29 AM<br><br><pre>Since you have (many times) whined about how you are addressed, I assumed <br>the decency of referring to you as "Donovan Arnold", instead of <br>just "Arnold". And how do you repay this decency?<br><br>Well, that's is fine with me, Arnie.<br><br>Now, concerning your complaint about my referring to the loved and deeply <br>missed John Dickinson . . .<br><br>It was you, Arnie, that initially cited John Dickinson as a source without <br>any evidence to substantiate your claim; your claim that John Dickinson <br>had told you that Moscow's water source is available for the next 200 to <br>300 years.<br><br>After having viewed some videos I maintain of city council sessions <br>conducted during CY 2006, sessions in which John Dickinson participated as <br>a council member, I have reached a conclusion totally contrary to yours.<br><br>You see, Arnie . . .<br><br>I was
merely debating your claim by providing contrary evidence <br>originating from your very source.<br><br>Perhaps you have other sources to substantiate your "200 to 300<br>years" <br>claim.<br><br>If so, I (and many others) would be most interested in reading them.<br><br>Tom Hansen<br>Moscow, Idaho<br><br>> Hansen,<br>> <br>> It doesn't mean anything. He could have thought 200-300 years<br>wasn't that<br>l> ong on a geological time scale, which it actually isn't. I think we<br>all<br><span><span>kne</span></span>> w that John cared deeply for the environment. <br>> <br>> But again, I don't think we should be using John as a source because<br>he <br>is<br>> not here to clarify his stance. I also don't think John really knew <br>either<br>> for sure how much water we have. <br>> <br>> I just personally believe it is not necessary to panic and restrict its<br>use> unless it is on a huge unreasonable scale. <br>>
