Why the rancor?

Jeez - just don't get the attitudes up here. The loudest, most profane, most accusatory voices are the ones that scream about "agendas" - others' agendas, not theirs. NIMBY's have an agenda to stop progress. "Friends on the Planning Board". Even PB members have been attacked - again, it's about YOUR agenda. The attackers don't have one - innocent as babes and pure as new snow.

The dynamic is pretty interesting - when the agenda mongers get loud enough and accusatory enough to incite the crowd, or when they call town officials or post online to destroy one's reputation while hiding behind some form of cover, you have to make a decision - risk public ridicule or trashing of your reputation or be quiet.

Why is it so necessary to take down anyone with an opposing view? Wonder what will happen when these folks are managing the HOA?
