[ I recently invited Lisa Robinson for an update or news about her activities and undertakings relevant to Pickering council and politics. She replied as can be read elsewhere directing me to listen or view three linked URLs. I did and wrote about them, again elsewhere.
Finally, I wrote a reply to Lisa Robinson that I feel should be publicly posted, not as a denigration of her but so people can see there are attempts at interacting with her in reasonable and logically sound ways. Below is my reply to Lisa Robinson’s email….]
I received your reply with your suggestion to view/listen to the linked URLs. I found these URLs to be an example of BBB (Bullshit Baffles Brains). You swamped me with irrelevant information, which may have validity and relevance elsewhere but wasn’t a response to my question. You often repeat that style of response…swamping your recipient with an overwhelming amount of information that buries the essence of what was asked.
I published a post of your information, clearly showing which comments were my personal ones. Otherwise, the post is a summary or transcript of the videos/audios you provided.
I have notified site visitors that posts relating to you may be challenging and demanding of time and energy with a questionable return on the expended effort. I did not say people should not read you, though I suggested the time may have arrived where the things you say may have little relevance and have sweeping generalizations that may lack value or merit as they have no corroborated supportive evidence.
Those with a dedicated passion and staunch focus on Pickering politics may wish to continue viewing and listening, but I am in the group that has become tired of your relentless bashing and continuous assault of Pickering politics as if there is nothing here of any worth. You may not have said that, but that is how your statements are sounding. I cannot believe the mayor and the councillors are valueless. They are professionals, principled as much as they can be. They may err in statements and claims from time to time, but it is not done so with malicious intent. I think they are doing the best they can, working in an area that is public and very open to public criticisms but I believe they do their best to fulfill their responsibilities and carry out their duties as elected representatives to municipal office.
Best,
Richard Szpin
