An Open Letter to Alex MacLeod:

It’s been a pretty long time since a man has spun fantasies about me, so in a way I should be grateful to Mr. MacLeod for thinking about me in his off hours.

In his most recent piece in The Journal, he claims I “presumably” went off after a county council hearing at which John Bogert spoke and “called board president Chris Thomerson to report on Bogert’s ‘testimony.’”

Mr. MacLeod is, of course, free to presume all he wants: it’s a free country. And I can presume a journalist would check his sources before publishing.

Didn’t happen, and his presumption was untrue.

I hope he will check with me next time before making up and publishing a fantasy.
