Letters / Not worth responding
There are around six regular contributors to local media pages whose rather intense and vitriolic style of writing, along with personalising issues and widespread negativity, are so well known publicly that replying to any of them is avoided.
There are often so many inaccuracies in their contributions that to correct them would divert from the positive debate, which can be had in Shetland on a variety of subjects.
I will not embarrass any of them by name but to set the record straight on one of a dozen inaccurate statements I can assure anyone interested I am NOT currently an office bearer in any political party.
Just thought I’d Harmer that point home.
