Locke Wrote:Given his methods in spreading word of his issues with the district as well as his tendency to lash out at others, I tend to lean more towards "upset spouse of former employee with an axe to grind". I have nothing to diminish his credibility, but he's doing a good job of that himself by constantly reminding everyone about his grievances with the district.
Style over substance is a logical fallacy which occurs when one emphasises the way in which the argument is presented, while marginalising (or outright ignoring) the content of the argument. In some cases, the fallacy is employed as a form of ad hominem attack. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_over_substance_fallacy">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_over ... ce_fallacy</a><!-- m -->
Ad hominem argument is most commonly used to refer specifically to the ad hominem abusive, or argumentum ad personam, which consists of criticizing or attacking the person who proposed the argument (personal attack) in an attempt to discredit the argument. It is also used when an opponent is unable to find fault with an argument, yet for various reasons, the opponent disagrees with it.

It could be that I am a citizen AND a spouse of a former employee seeking justice for the community in this forum and justice for my spouse in other forums. I believe that you have the right to know about violations of district policy, state law and federal law by the disrtrict. For obvious reasons the district does not and they are still spending your money to keep you from knowing the truth. Thanks for your post!
