We all receive and delete unsolicited e-mail, most of it innocuous or inane.
But every now and then something arrives that grabs our attention. Such was the case last week when an e-mail from the Manhasset MPSA landed in my in-box bearing the subject line, “Is Regina Rule, School Board President, up for the task?”
I was taken aback at the negative implication since Regina Rule is an active member of my church and a long-time friend.
In reading the email I was disappointed with the accusatory tone. It saddened me to see the politics of personal attack in my hometown. Almost half of the e-mail criticized Regina instead of addressing the issues. In the future I hope the members of the Manhasset MPSA will forgo personal attacks in favor of constructive dialogue.
