THESE ARE INCOMPLETE, because they continue. The first was written by one of the admins of the East Hill Neighborhood Association's FB page.

Neighbors, even though it is well within David Suhor's rights to inquire about and protest the cross placed at Bayview Park, he has been met with name-calling and derision. I expect better from my neighbors. I see people who are passionate, well-educated citizens resorting to low tactics. This is not who we really are. Social media can be a terrible place for a sensitive discussion, but only if we let it become that. Please project the best and most respectful version of yourself into the discussions here.

Matt Deavenport Mob Mentality took effect and ruined that thread. Unfortunate how people behave behind the curtains of the internet messageboard.

April Braecklein My opinion is this , I feel we have bigger issues than a cross that I love seeing at Bayview for years !!! Like the people who go 50 on our roads , people taking things they didn't work for , etc ... It bothers me that so many people want to stir thin...See More

Janet Brooks Sallis In regards to the issue Mr. Suhor raised, I really am a proponent of the principle, "What you give attention to is what will persist." Just imagine if all the people who chose to get stirred up had instead just shrugged and said "Meh." He would have garnered no attention. It does not mean the issue doesn't matter. It simply means you will not reward that behavior with attention.

John Carter You are assuming that the majority that supports the cross are Christians. What does "Christian-like" mean? Are you name calling?

Lisa Sheridan Common My jaw was on the floor reading through that thread. This is a closed group right? I hope so, because I would hate if other neighborhoods read that thread and thought we all acted like that. I don't usually join in a lot of the discussions, but I have to on this one. Can we hide it and start fresh?

Lisa Sheridan Common Thanks Janet.
That is unfortunate. If I were considering moving here and wanted to see what the neighborhood was like, I would think twice...especially if I thought differently than the majority. I am embarrassed by it. frown emoticon

Kelly Comerford Janet Brooks Sallis, thank you for this post. I have lived in this neighborhood all my life and I love it. I'm very embarrassed by the comments I've seen in the other posts. If I was new to the area and looking at this group, I am sad to say, I would not want to have these neighbors.

Gene Miller I think we are becoming a society that kowtows to the wishes and whims of the minority and the majority is getting fed up.

Alicia Dehart O'Sullivan Janet - I saw the post you are referring to much earlier today, I just went to check the comments after seeing your post. Almost 300 comments. I don't have time to read through all that nonsense - but this does convince me that this board has become too toxic and ridiculous to be associated with. It's been a long time coming, so long East Hill Neighborhood Association, it's been interesting.

Marlene Parker Part of the magic in East Hill evaporated after reading some of the posts, especially the two implying violence. Very discouraging.

Gene Miller It's a statement Janet addressing my belief in why so many neighbors find his actions and post objectionable.
He is a long time trouble maker and narcissistic publicity seeker that has caused problems at school board and county meetings concerning prayer. See my posts to the East Hill group reference his past actions.

If your activism cannot be founded on transparency, you are as bad as the people you seek to provoke.

David Suhor So EHNA's facebook is now a platform to discuss people who live in East Hill? I have posted all this in the 'net, so I'm not ashamed. But why does it deserve attention on EHNA's page?

Janet Brooks Sallis David Suhor, these are all public posts pertaining to the same type of issue you raised, yourself, in the group. The EHNA is not responsible for the posts of the members of the group.
Publicly discussing your public (documented) activism is inevitable.
