Miscellaneous: July 2009 Archives

It just occurred to me that I should probably explain a previous post, where I posted an e-mail exchange between myself and city council member Cameron Texter.

I like to think of the blog as a forum for two-way communication that the regular newspaper, by its very nature, can't provide.

That may include criticism of me, but I figure that's fair game -- the same as criticism of public figures such as politicians. As long as it's nothing that's dubious in nature, such as anonymous sniping against specific people in the form of unfounded allegations.

To sum up, I figured it was only fair to give Texter a forum to tell his side of things. I'd like to clarify that I wouldn't post such an e-mail without first checking with the sender, as I did with Texter.

Here's an e-mail I received from City Council member Cameron Texter, and my response. While covering the cops shift on Sunday, I wrote about an arrest that occurred Saturday night in York spurred by people setting off fireworks. I referred to an incident that occurred in 2007, and Texter believes I micharacterized what happened.

Here's the exchange.
