"Over the top"

In today's Times-News, a letter to the editor from Vera Westall of Hendersonville:

To the editor: Dr. Geoffrey Jones’ attempt to vilify property owners and boycott Flat Rock after disappointment regarding the soccer complex seems over the top for a practicing physician in the area. He is entitled to his opinion. This could go both ways! Anyone, especially Flat Rock residents, could consider “to no longer feel welcome” with his medical practice and decide with their wallets — “we will no longer be spending our money there.”...

My grandchildren play soccer and never complain or feel deprived by not having a “major multimillion-dollar soccer complex” (at taxpayers’ expense) in the middle of a historic residential area. What values are being taught when we say to our children: “We’re not going over to Flat Rock because those people would not let us have a soccer complex and we are boycotting them”?

It is time to stop stirring this pot! Enough is enough.

Read it all.
