Theres more .... Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 14:17:28 +0000 Mr Pullen, You are almost certainly aware that I am not a user of, nor a contributor to, the various “Forum” websites which exist in cyber space. Frankly I regard them as a Devil’s Playground. However I have just been informed that you have been displaying all of our recent electronic communication on a public website, without informing me as to your actions. Mr Pullen, that is deceitful, underhand and completely dishonourable. And you have the effrontery to ask me to do the honourable thing? You should be ashamed and I deserve to receive your apology. Cllr Graham Mitchell Keighley Town Mayor ----- Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 14:32:14 +0000 Dear Councillor Mitchell Without prejudice At no stage has correspondence between ourselves or other councillors been suggested to be of a confidential nature. You have been willing to copy other members of the chamber into your responses and yet take the stand that the public cannot also view such a conversation. This highlights, in the opinion of many, one of the issues of your management style and justifies my choice to provide others with details of the conversation. Are you now indicating that your words are not applicable if said in public - I can assure you that what I have said in our emails would not differ in a public forum ... can you claim the same? I will not be lectured by a former teacher on the word honourable and therefore please treat any and all future communications as being potential shown in the public domain - including this current chat. Whilst I respect your decision to avoid playing in the Devils playground you have to understand that whether intentionally or not youve now had a go on the swing. Welcome to the 21st century of communications! My only apology is that I sat and watched for too long the management of KTC drag the reputation of the town on my birth into a place that brings about great embarrassment and disgust. Maybe after May 2015 we will see a opportunities for the town to start the slow process of recovery. Kind regards Mark Pullen
