Less than civil discourse

Re: One last, slim chance for Games to escape the axe, Opinion, Oct. 31

It was ironic to read Don Braid’s mention of a “shrinking number of people who still believe you can disagree on an issue without slandering the other side as dishonest and corrupt” and then turn the page and see stark evidence that even Licia Corbella is apparently not part of that shrinking number anymore.

Her characteri­zation of the No-side people as having “the collective vision of zombies ... who think all civic buildings should be little more than cinder block rectangles and who believe that spending cash on landscapin­g is for the birds — unless it’s in front of their house” was completely inappropri­ate.
