I guess I should thank
Longmont City Councilman Sean McCoy for directing all of you to my various websites. Since you're probably here based on his tirade of September 1, 2009, here is the video and a transcript:

"I want to throw my sincere support towards Richard Judays civility movement. I'm concerned with the actions of radical, negative bloggers that write on
YourHub and call in to the TC Line, fringe groups like
LIFT and websites like
Wrongmont, and
Longmont Advocate, and the
Longmont Report. My concerns are that we'll never know how these groups and individuals have hurt businesses and financial opportunities for Longmont and her citizens. We'll never know the millions of dollars in commercial real estate rentals that must have been lost. We'll never know the job growth for Longmont citizens and the home sales that could have happened if these people hadn't been so negative in their actions. I urge all of you out there to be productive and civil in this next election cycle and to ignore these radical fringe elements that run down the city council and the city. Thank you."
Last year, this same city councilman wondered about the "threshold" to take legal action against a city official, in that case former
Firestone Mayor Mike Simone.
I guess we're about to find out.
