"Please govern yourself accordingly," hee hee
I'm laughing because I just received a letter from someone with the same threat. I had forgotten about an old cease and desist letter that Comm. Marc Sarnoff sent me in February 2010, regarding a comment on the Grapevine that someone else made, one of you anonymous guys. This whole incident actually made the news around the country and it is being taught at Ivy League schools about how not to be a politician. Freedom of press is legal in this country, wars were fought over it. The Grapevine is part of curriculums because of this incident!
Anyway, Al Crespo dug up this old letter and so many other interesting things like the illegal traffic circle on Virginia Street. I saw my name mentioned in his article and had to check it out. Your hair will curl when you read this, as I don't have any hair, my toes are curling instead.
I suggest those guys on Florida Avenue today, who are about to massacre the trees, hold off for a bit until all the money can be tracked. But I am betting Al is already on that.
"Please govern yourself accordingly!" I was told that recently by a roofer who screwed up a job. When I complained that is what I got back. I am about to sue a local restaurant for not paying their adverting bill. Why is the victim always told to, "Govern yourself accordingly!" Is that what the restaurant is going to respond to the lawsuit? If they do, I'll let you know.
I received a threatening letter from an attorney representing a local developer a few years back. The letter started off threatening me that if I showed anyone the letter that was threatening me, I would regret it! I was actually threatened to not show the threatening letter! I saved it, I'll expose that ass of a lawyer one day. And get this, they were suing me because they said I was protecting Sarnoff in various stories and anonymous comments. They wanted me to expose the anonymous commenters because they claimed all that inside information was coming from Sarnoff's office. I refused of course to divulge anything and the whole thing was dropped when the Miami Herald ran the story and it turned out all the anonymous comments were right on.

Silence Dogood anyone?
Corruption hates a free press. :)

Grape, your blog is hated by some officials and their disciples because you have exposed them with their pants down and they would use any tool available to them to stop that. Their behavior is a form of repression. Not very different from Russians imprisoning members of a rock band.
The phrase "Please govern yourself accordingly" is actually meaningless.
Everyone governs themselves accordingly, regardless.
I love the grapevine and all the information that is shared and brought to light. If you are a public figure or in the lime light are to expected to be criticized.
'Govern yourself accordingly' can be a useful and proper closing, when the context permits. However, in our copy and paste world, everything gets misused. Don't get me started on the fact that some dictionaries have/plan to include a definition/usage of "literally" that literally means the opposite of literally.
The Dumbening continues.
Wow. You got amazing compliment. You bother a local politician. You make them think twice.
I read the Grapevine and enjoy your writing. I especially love that you are a pebble in the shoe of Miami officials. Good for you. Keep it up. The Grove needs you!
LOL.
We are absolutely inundated by arrogant politicians and cops.
I just read a comment in the New York Times to the effect that, if a foreign country invaded the U.S. and did to us what our politicians and cops do to us on a regular basis, we would be up in arms.
I have the same comment about our politicians and cops. If we were to read about these goings on in, say, Albania or Slovenia, we would just say "tsk tsk, these petty third world dictatorships..." and nod our head in sadness about the poor people who have to live there. We would wonder why those people don't either revolt against that government or just vote them out of existence.
I have the same question here. Why? Why do we put up with them?
