Sorry if that ...Sure, i'm no longer anonymous. Sorry if that made you uncomfortable, and sorry if that didn't appear polite. I was endeavoring to be respectful. I do want to be clear I didn't "tell" you to be careful, I asked using the word "please."<br /><br />You are correct that "we" is used throughout as a common rhetorical device. However, the piece is bylined to a single person, and this sentence comes near the beginning:<br />" I trust that friends in OP are working right now to release a more truthful narrative of our relationship with the city and a rejoinder to Nutter's portrayals of us. But since we don't have paid staffers, I think it necessary to post something very quickly to balance the rather aggressively dishonest press conference we just heard this morning."<br /><br />It is also simply a fact that OP's general assembly has not released a statement with respect to the Dilworth renovation, and that the proposal to stay passed last Friday contained no language taking a position on the Dilworth project itself. As someone who is very involved in Occupy Philly, I can also correct you that, despite how the piece may seem to you to be presented, it does not represent a consensus.<br /><br />It's also worth noting that even the Mayor's office is today saying the 11/15 date is based on nothing.<br /><br />http://www.citypaper.net/blogs/nakedcity/Mayor-Nutter-says-rumors-of-immanent-eviction-false-but-makes-correction-mayors-have-been-communicating-about-Occupy.htmlJesse Kudler, Occupy Phillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624745733838877352.post-34744860393448873022011-11-15T11:59:46.477-05:002011-11-15T11:59:46.477-05:00Further commenters are advised of my blog's co...Further commenters are advised of my blog's comment policy:<br /><br /><i>Spam, abusive comments, anonymous comments, and trolls are subject to removal at Glomarization's <b>sole</b> discretion. <b>Thank you!</b></i><br /><br />I re-allowed anonymous commenting a few months ago but I'll be happy to restrict the blog to moderated comments only if I get more comments telling me to be "careful."Glomarizationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624293157927622360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624745733838877352.post-49390237060040381112011-11-15T11:55:13.993-05:002011-11-15T11:55:13.993-05:00The paragraph surrounding that quote, numbered &qu...The paragraph surrounding that quote, numbered "5" on the page I linked to, uses the plural pronoun throughout. It is clear to me that the document speaks for quite a few people at Occupy Philly, which itself is governed by General Assembly and has announced its decision to remain at Dilworth Plaza. Nowhere in the document is the statement I quoted presented as one specific person's opinion. Rather, it is presented very clearly as the consensus of the group.Glomarizationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624293157927622360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624745733838877352.post-45725161067360082262011-11-15T11:51:51.801-05:002011-11-15T11:51:51.801-05:00that quote about dilworth is one specific person&#...that quote about dilworth is one specific person's opinion. occupy philly has not put out a collective statement about the renovation plan. so please be careful to be clear about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
