Sigh. I really hope this is really the end.
My biggest problem with the FOL approach are these claims of corruption, bias and bad faith. It's fine to disagree with a proposal, but those claims are the equivalent of schoolyard name-calling.

I've read all of the Friends' materials through this whole process. They lost because their case wasn't very good. In large part, they were trying to make political arguments in court once the arguments failed at council. And the courts rightly rejected them.

On an amusing note, the GCA recently asked me to consider joining their board. What to do, what to do...
