An Email Sent Out Today

Earlier today, a number of R1 supporters received an Email from "Tom Field" announcing a new site, supposedly created by R Neighborhoods Are 1. this site is the one I found and decided to create this blog to counter. The fact that "Tom Field" Emailed individuals we know he has the addresses of, it seems logical to believe that "Tom Field" either is the creator of the other "R1" blog, or certainly knows who is.

This now seems to be another shameful act by a supporter of a large development in Northwest San Pedro. "Tom Field" claims that he is not a "Bisno supporter" and has written negatively about Bob's 1,950-unit plan. "Tom's" plan, the one he has had since last March, is for 1,700-units, still way, way to many units for most thoughtful folks.

"Tom Field" has also used name calling as a tactic. When he wonders why he seems to always be attacked on my blogs, don't you think that name calling is just one of the reasons he continues to receive the attacks from folks other than me? Of course I do not feel that I need to call Mr. "Field" any derogatory names. He has set himself up for attack by his own word usage and submissions on his own blog, it seems to me.

I have to again question Mr. "Field", why such rage? When more than 10,000 people are willing to call for no change in the current zoning at Ponte Vista, shouldn't there be some type of reasoned discussion of why that number has gone from 3,096 to where it is now in less than four months?

If "Tom Field" is the private citizen he claims he is and is not affiliated in any way with Bob Bisno, any advisory board, any paid lobbying individual or group, why so much rage when he claims to be so disconnected from the Bisno organization?

Might we be able to imagine that a person who's sole issue is getting 1,700 units built at Ponte Vista, without any support or guidance from Bob and his staff, is not to be believed?

Why would one "unattached" individual to the folks supporting Bob's plans, feel the need to inject himself so far into an issue that he claims he will not personally benefit from?

To create two blogs in opposition to keeping the current zoning at Ponte Vista, and attacking folks personally and in groups, on his very own, seems to be disturbing to a lot of people, don't you feel?

Thanks to all the readers of this new blog. I have to concede though that the other blog got at least 65 views on its first day. These were based, I believe on the Emails sent out by "Tom Field" to folks who support R1. I hope everyone realizes which blog is the true R Neighborhoods Are 1 blog and returns to view this blog from time to time.
