Mr. Whittle: Yes, I saw your Letter to the Editor in the Stoney Creek News, in which you expand on your second point expressed here. And as I expressed in a followup editorial, I think you're way off the mark...and quite frankly, you could join the same Club of Thumping-heart Rhetoric that so many of the West Harbour supporters are clearly members of.
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated as to why you're wearing your heart on your sleeve in so Drama Queenish a manner with this mindset, given that you're known for a common-sense approach to most things. You make it seem like the travails that Hamilton has encountered (produced on its own?) en route to coming up with some kind of decision are somehow doing irreparable harm to the Pan Am Games legacy. Where have you hidden the real Mr. Whittle, the one so capable of making so many bristle with mere words on the screen? : )
