Negative Anonymous Comments

I have spent a part of today reading and rereading the recent posts to the blog.  While I think it is great that people are getting involved and stating their opinions I do feel that we gain nothing by making mean spirited, hurtful comments about private members of our community.  As Board members, we are now considered "public figures" and as such may not reasonably expect the same privacy we had before being elected.  Our words and actions will (and should) be scrutinized by the community.  However, attacks on individuals, particularly when made by an anonymous post are extremely inappropriate and highly offensive.  Have the courage of your convictions people, sign your post with your name.  Hopefully, no one will take these words as any type of rant, rather an observation and commentary on decency and right minded behavior.
