Subject: Ezequiel, drama, hatefulness, etc... Author: Kaitlin, Apt 46 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:16:20 10/20/02 Sun I am signing my name to this because most people know that I started the message board anyway so there is no point in not putting my name. That being said, I don't think that anyone should or should not put their names when they post. Honestly I started this message board so that people could post their opinions anonymously if they wanted to. There are some people that don't feel comfortable confronting others and would not say things if they thought it would make meetings in the lobby or in the hallway awkward. I am one of those people. Everyone knows coming on here that you can post anonymously and should expect people to do so. Putting your name does not make you better than anyone else and does not discredit their opinions. On the other hand, posting anonymously should not necessarily mean that you say things without thinking about the consequences of them. Being hateful and calling names is childish, and although it's easier when you don't have to put your name, we should be able to show self control. That being said, anyone can post whatever they want. If you don't want to read it than don't. I think we have more important things to discuss on the message board than what we should discuss on the message board. I think it's kind and sweet that people were concerned about Ezequiel losing his job. I don't know of many other buildings where the tenants would have cared. That makes this building special, in my opinion. Maybe everyone became a little over dramatic, but there are worse things. I heard a lot of stories from a lot of people, but I was able to recongize that there was at least the chance (and probably a good chance) that it wasn't all true. I then posted how I felt on this board a few times (anonymously) and wrote a letter to George. In my letter I recognized that a lot of what I heard may have been rumors but I told him how I felt about Ezequiel being around. I think I dealt with the situation rationally, and so did a lot of other people. I believe that this situation is over for the meantime, but hopefully we can still communicate with eachother like adults about other things. Maybe even things that aren't negative.

[> Subject: Re: Ezequiel, drama, hatefulness, etc... Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:04:53 10/21/02 Mon Kudos Kaitlin. Speaking from semi-anonymity, I would only like to add that no one would have taken the time or effort to alert others about Ezequiel's livelihood being threatened had it not come from a RELIABLE source. If some people were bothered by it, annoyed, or insulted as a watered down result... please accept my semi-anonymous apology (I can only speak for my semi-anonymous self). I apologize to those of you who are falsely convinced that several people in this building have nothing better to do with their time than concoct rumors. I'm glad that George took the letters into account and read at least those that had names on them. I hope that this kind of responsiveness will continue in the future and I am encouraged by his decision to reconsider and keep Ezequiel on. And again, speaking only for myself, I am thrilled that Ezequiel is still our super and that a number of people in this building care about him and appreciate him as much as I do.
