I would call your attention to the careful use of quotation marks in the caption to my photograph, to remove my comments from their rightful context. I accused no one group of any wrongful acts or intentions. Those words in quotation, while accurately reported, were directed at those persons, whomever they may be, that are responsible for creating the air of fear that has surrounded ATC in the last year and a half or so. I singled out no individuals or groups as being responsible for the authorship of those letters. In fact I believe them to be the result of one or two people carrying out a personal agenda of whatever nature.
It is unfortunate that a situation that is the result of irresponsible actions should be made worse by this kind of careful Sound Biting. Andy Sickle’s quote can be carried over to this exact kind of manipulation of context on the Reader’s part. I hope that my neighbors and friends will understand that my personal and professional support for their efforts remains solid and unflagging. Hey Ed, it’s not my fault.
