“get a life” – no, you get a life! (see how stupid that comment is?)

“your just bashing sudbury” (“your” should be used to show possession, like “your lack of talent” or “your momma’s basement” or “your boring comment”. “you’re” is what you should have used, and that is short for “you are”. see? “YOU ARE”, not “YOUR”. it’s not that hard. practice. and read a book once in a while.)

“no one cares…” – no, you don’t care. and if you don’t care, then i don’t care that you don’t care. but obviously you do care because you left a comment. so, someone cares and that’s you! awwww, again… how cute.

and now… zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. boring.

i mean seriously. if you’re gonna be critical, be creative. make someone laugh or something.

First of all I would like to apologize not only to you but all women that I have offended with my comments. I completely understand that my statements were in-fact sexist. I am currently dealing with the ramifications of my comments, and I realize the impact my comments had on all women. Currently I am seeking guidance by the appropriate professionals to help me address my way of thinking, I made the comments because I was so frustrated with your post, and it really got under my skin. However, I addressed the issue inappropriately and I realize that. Most importantly I would like everyone to understand that my comments do not necessarily reflect all front line workers or committee members. It is difficult for me to read posts poking fun at the work we are doing here in Sudbury, I understand now that it is criticism and I have to learn not to take it personally. Julie I would also like to thank you for teaching me the most valuable lesson I have learned to date, “public accountability trumps freedom of speech” I understand the values of front line work, and now realize how important it is for me to be accountable to the community in which I work. I understand that I have made women everywhere angry with my comments, and I am taking this opportunity to apologize for my comments. I hope you and women everywhere can accept my apologies and know that I am taking the appropriate actions to address my way of thinking. Thanks Julie.

Now there's a most likely imaginary threat I can really feel terrified over.

I actually meant to post it in this update but forgot about it. Thanks for the mention. But, I can't seem to be pull up that article as it appears to have been removed or it's down. Thanks to Google, there's a cached copy of it here: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:y9_-c9EHWSEJ:www.northernlife.ca/news/localNews/2010/02/gangs-stereotype250210.aspx+http://www.northernlife.ca/news/localNews/2010/02/gangs-stereotype250210.aspx&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca&client=firefox-a You have to scroll down to read it and the images won't appear but the content is there. I'm glad to keep the discussion going; it's an important issue. I think a lot of agencies dismiss the power of activism through social networking and blogging and if I can use my voice to help keep this issue alive, then my goal has been accomplished.
