Very well said. I had a very sick feeling in my gut when I read that article, but I convinced myself that I was reading out of context. However, the more I think of it, the more I agree with you. I even thought of writing a personal correspondence to Calvin (doesn't deserve to be referred to as "Mr. Maeda"), but never got around to it. I can't believe that others involved in publishing that magazine didn't sense even the slightest bit of arrogance and advise Calvin that the tone of his article was inappropriate! I guess that means everyone at MTA is even more arrogant than Calvin.
: Calvin Maeda's column in the January
: 2007 Mililani News confirmed what
: I've suspected for some time. The
: percieved arrogance of the MTA
: trickles down from it's top
: position. In his column, Maeda
: points out several instances where
: association rules were either not
: followed or were misunderstood.
: Fine, but instead of addressing
: these situations pragmatically and
: in a manner that was enlightening
: and subjective, he spins the stories
: to make the "unique
: individuals" as he calls them,
: look like fools. Mr. Maeda, you
: remember one thing, you work for us,
: NOT the other way around. Your
: litany of smug innuendos were
: completely unnecessary. Maybe we'd
: be more receptive of your precious
: little rules if you and your office
: weren't so condescending. Why
: don't you get off your damned high
: horse and do something actually
: productive like go look for and cite
: the residents who don't take care of
: their homes and lawns? Incidentally
: I am not one of your "unique
: individuals", nor have I ever
: been cited or denied by the MTA.
: It's just you and your classless
: attitude and complete lack of
: humility that irk me. You really
: showed your true colors in that
: insipid column of yours. If you
: can't interact with people
: cordially, THEN QUIT!!! You
: wouldn't be missed.
