Disagreeing is fine, verbal abuse is not

Having a differing opinion is fine. But verbal abuse is not!

I'm referring to the March 26 letter, "City has public bathrooms at Percival Landing." No solutions were offered, just verbal abuse at others because the writer had a differing opinion.

Here's a thought: If you're that dissatisfied, run for office and attempt to make the changes you want. If not, why not try discussing the matter respectfully with others?
