Jamie Verbrugge, Bloomington City Manager & Sandra Johnson, Bloomington City Attorney are lurking and skulking to see if I have been incited to violence yet, aren't they?
They are, aren't they? Nope, they've failed, haven't they? They have, haven't they?

subject: Harassment similar to Case No. 27-CV-15-10552 Tony Webster vs The City of Bloomington
mailed-by: gmail.com
Gene Winstead, Mayor 952-888-1258:
I want to file a complaint in regard to a public data request (see attached) that I filed on Jun 22, 2015 at 9:21 PM. All the data I requested is in electronic format. So the data request should have taken less than a minute to process. How long does it take to attach a few pdf data files to an email, huh? Four (4) months? Instead, I have been harassed and had my free electronic public data illegally withheld from me. Not to mention that all sorts of public resources have been wasted monitoring my website, Lion News. I've attached the data from my tracking software. Much of my ordeal mirrors that of Tony Webster, doesn't it?
I have a reasonable suspicion that Jamie Verbrugge, City Manager & Sandra Johnson, City Attorney are willfully trying to incite me to violence with their harassment script. Verbrugge and Johnson are making the wild and outrageous claims that I have to pay to get a data practice manual for the city of Bloomington, aren't they? Of course, Verbrugge and Johnson know that your data practice manual must either be distributed free or be posted on the City of Bloomington's website, don't they? Plus, Verbrugge and Johnson are making illegal demands that identify myself, aren't they? And Verbrugge and Johnson are illegally withholding my data until I identify myself, aren't they? Finally, Verbrugge and Johnson are willfully refusing to produce a City of Bloomington Cost Calculator and the salaries for City of Bloomington salaries to justify their harassing bill, aren't they? Of course, you and I both know that there is no law that requires the City of Bloomington to charge anyone anything for free electronic public data, don't we? We both know that there are laws against misuse of public resources (609.52) and against the illegal withholding of public data (Chapter 13.09/ 609.43, don't we? I want Jamie Verbrugge, City Manager & Sandra Johnson, City Attorney to stop trying to incite me to violence and email me my free electronic public data immediately!

Logical fallacy Definition: An error in reasoning that renders an argument invalid. Clinical psychologist Rian McMullin expands this definition: "Logical fallacies are unsubstantiated assertions that are often delivered with a conviction that makes them sound as though they are proven facts" (The New Handbook of Cognitive Therapy Techniques, 2000).

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. Proverbs 1:17 King James Version (KJV)
With the rise of the democracies and the dethronement and disempowering of previously powerful groups such as the military, the nobility, and the like, there has been a gradual shift from the conscious and explicit use of direct methods of interpersonal and social control to one that are more indirect, subtle, and covert.

In her discussion of the different modes of overt and covert verbal abuse, Evans (1992) lists the following types of covert verbals abuse: “withholding,” “countering,” “discounting,” “verbal abuse disguised as jokes,” “blocking and diverting,” “trivializing,” and “undermining.” Gaslighting, The Double Whammy, Interrogation and Other Covert Control in Psychotherapy & Analysis, Theo L.

Reasons to Avoid Logical Fallacies in Your Writing "There are three good reasons to avoid logical fallacies in your writing. First, logical fallacies are wrong and, simply put, dishonest if you use them knowingly. Second, they take away from the strength of your argument. Finally, the use of logical fallacies can make your readers feel that you do not consider them to be very intelligent." (William R. Smalzer, Write to Be Read: Reading, Reflection, and Writing, 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2005). logical fallacy Glossary By Richard Nordquist Grammar & Composition Expert. http://grammar.about.com/od/il/g/logicfalterm.htm
