You are a class act; in frustration, you reacted inappropriately and have apologised for the lapse. But how is your reaction any different than a self-appointed reporter's spew that he calls 'editorial comment', or 'reporting', etc. His vicious, smart-alecky type of commentary has created the current atmosphere, not unlike the TOA Board. Lack of decorum, lack of intelligence, lack of fair play and survival of the glib truth-spinners is the rule in Amherst. Don't get into a war of words with the above mentioned. They are not worth it.
