Reacting to the recent flame wars on “06880” — hostilities emerged over the age-old tradition of decorating the Minuteman statue and, almost laughably, whether or not the comments section has gotten too hostile — alert reader Ginny McGovern wrote:
People sure do have time on their hands, and quite a lot of anger. After such a stressful and tragic close to 2012, I envisioned more reflection and feeling fortunate for Westport by Westporters.
It seems like you may not have eaten for days. Maybe you need a break.
Your next column should be “Dan’s Day Off.” Everyone (anonymous or not) should write something appreciative/complimentary about one other Westporter or person who works in Westport. That way a) you won’t have to shut down the comments and b) it will be so short that when you return from your day off you can read it for 3-5 minutes and hop in bed. The perfect day.
It ties in with the Westport Kindness Project too, now that I think of it.
Thanks, Ginny!
It’s a great idea. Readers, get to work! Click “Comments” to say something nice.
I’ll still monitor responses, of course. But something tells me this won’t reach the record of 293, set just last week on the very important topic of flowers in the Minuteman’s musket.
