In case you didn't hear this one. Apparently, the UBID Administrator sent out email reminders for the Dec. 3, 2011, meeting to those on the mailing list UBID uses to notify residents of matters involving the Improvement District. This is the only reason this list should be used. This list was used previously by an employee of UBID to notify residents I had supposedly been reported to the Privacy Commissioner for my email and blog. Again, a big no no. Employees and Trustees have no business using this list for their personal causes.
There was an error and instead of the recipients receiving bcc where it would be impossible to see who was receiving the email, it was sent cc so everyone's email address was visible. Some recipients were upset their email addresses were now exposed to spam.
The kicker is, a past Trustee who received the email used the email addresses on the list to send a message indicating they should look at a post on a website and forward comments to another past Trustee. The past Trustee sent it to every single person - there are a lot of names and I'm not going to make it worse by posting them here.
This past Trustee did this knowing the error originated at the UBID office - knew it was an error - and took the opportunity to use that list exposing those who provided UBID with their addresses to keep confidential by distributing it further. Would this past Trustee have taken this action if it were a different Administrator - is he attempting to sabotage our new Administrator?
What information was so important/urgent to cause a past Trustee to violate the trust of those he served? Was this information relevant to Union Bay landowners or was it an attempt to discredit a landowner personally? Proclaiming to only be the 'messenger' doesn't wash here - what was the intent by the individual who made the decision to use the email list directing recipients to negative comments about a landowner posted by a fellow previous Trustee/friend?
Questions - so many questions............................... will be answered.
