Ouch, so much for open debate.

GH Dems have made their choice, are you in?

Who are you quoting, and from what source?

Just curious, also, when the GH Repugs welcomed a presentation from the wild olympic proponents?

Dan Boeholt from his FB Page.

Second question, I don't know, have the WO people asked?

I do not go to either the GH Dems or Repubs meetings, so, all my knowledge is at least second hand regarding what they are doing.

I don't know if the proponents have asked to speak. But, just asking does not create any right to be put on the agenda, and shouldn't even reasonably lead to an expectation of being put on the agenda.

I have no idea what happened as I rarely attend those meetings anymore.

I asked, and commented, because your initial post, and that of whoever you were quoting, struck me as somewhat combative and divisive, and not real interested in any open or friendly discussion of the issue.

I said I quoted Dan Boeholt.

You consider this combative and divisive? How so?

I would say that from what I quoted that would show that our local Dems feel that way.

I think I said that when I wrote the following;

When a group of people who have previously openly and willingly self-disclosed themselves as Republicans show up at a Democratic Party meeting with a resolution that they demand the Democrats vote on, it is more than a bit presumptuous. Those same people then demanded to be put on the agenda. They were simply informed that they were not put on the agenda for this meeting. They were never invited in the first place.

So, you are saying that Working Wild Olympics is a Republican only group?

I understand why some Dems would be against the WWO, but surely listening to the WWO could not hurt. Has the WO people talked before the GHDs? Has the WO gave a presentation to the GHRs or have they even asked?

If neither side listens, don't expect things to get better.

It doesn't hurt for both sides to listen. True that.

I just can't figure out how people can oppose something that is in draft mode and asking for input for revisions. So many revisions have already been made based on input and that process will continue.

WWO leadership asked for numerous revisions and got them but then they go around saying WO won't listen to them. Because of that, they have no more credibility with me.
