the mayor's use of Improper Informality in Naming members of the public is extremely disrespectful.
i do not consent to be called "Mary" when the Mayor is addressing me, especially when he is using the feminine first name to repeatedly interrupt my testimony and speak in his condescending tone of voice at me.
I prefer to be called "Eng" without any genderizing title.
i do not like the name mary, and feel that it does not capture my gender identity. i feel very hurt the the Mayor interrupts women or persons perceived as women at an unequal rate to his rudeness to other men.
Other activists have brought to my attention Charlie Hales' discriminatory informality in salutations he applies to members of the public he seeks to censor, marginalize, discredit, or gag.
this use of first names is demeaning and is performed unequally as a disrespectful gesture by the Mayor when he seeks to INFANTILIZE serious members of the public with serious concerns.
The mayor's increasingly abusive behavior in the City Hall chamber is a disgrace to the city.
if the mayor is tired of working, he should resign, and stop resorting to abusing citizens as a stress relief.
In the future i look forward to being addressed as ENG and do hope some of the Mayor's legal counsel or PR people can help him wrap his head around the need for civility and the appearance of good manners.
He ridiculed me and homeless Advocate Lightning as "outlandish" to the Oregonian on his first day in office.
This snide and cruelly condescending red flag---alerted to me to his bad manners.
his disgraceful treatment of citizens violates the spirit of open meetings laws, and serves as a deterrent to civic engagement.
it is my belief that his open hostility is premeditated and issued to eliminate civic oversight of his plundering of the treasury and corporate opportunities.
he is making us feel unwelcome with his open hostility.
please share this information widely, or with city attys who may be able to talk some sense into him, or brief him on the necessity of non-harassment and discrimination laws.
thank you
Eng
