Proper Etiquette When in the Presence of Your Betters

“On Monday, August 3, 2009 at approximately 9:00 AM at the North Pavilion the disrespectful attitude you displayed to the Mayor was unacceptable,” George Edmunds, the city’s acting director of Parks and Recreation, wrote in a Monday, Aug. 3 suspension notification memo issued to Moye. “The Mayor indicated that this was not the first time that you had not acknowledged her when you came into contact. This type of behavior will not be tolerated and is detrimental to the department. Your actions have caused irrevocable damage to the welfare of the department and your fellow workers.’’

In the memo, Edmunds also uses terms such as "insubordination" and "disgraceful" to describe Moye’s failure to greet Deerfield Beach Mayor Peggy Nolan. [More]

One could argue that by being a willing part of the Imperial Legions, one owes deference to the Empress.

And the rest of us subjects can pay our respects to her as well.

You might ask her how the Emperor is doing.

  1. Our lords and masters tend to get a little snitty when you don't kiss the ring...

  2. Don't bury the lead:

    "Shining examples of her accomplishments include the Middle School Athletic and Aquatic Complex"

    She built that all by herself? The Pharaohs have got nothing on her!

    my email to the city commission with a request to forward to the mayor as she seems to be hiding.:

    Please forward this to Mayor Noland as she seems to be hiding.

    subject; charitable comment to the mayor.

    I just read of the suspension of Ms. Moye for not kissing your ... ah, uh ring.

    Now to be as charitable as I can I will say only this.

    Hey stupid! When you were elected to office, you were demoted from boss (citizen) to servant (publicly elected official).

    You need to grow up, get rid of Edmunds and pretend you are somebody worthwhile. If you will pretend that, we will pretend we believe you. How's that for fair?

    Then you can continue to manipulate city business to your personal benefit.

    and my email to George Edmund.::


    Acting Director of Parks and Recreation, George Edmund:


    Mr. Edmund, I have just recently read of your suspension of Ms. Moye, and excerpts of your letter attempting to justify such intolerable behavior.

    May I make two suggestions, Sir? Never mind, I am going to make them anyway. First you should save a great deal of money on your personal health care needs. As I read it, you will never need second opinions, consulting physicians, or a harsh regimen of tests. After all, the only medical professional you will ever need is a proctologist.

    As to what you consider proper ettiquette when anywhere near a minor elected servant, I would warn you that your diet may be harmful to you. Fecal matter is not easily tolerated in the digestive systems of primates, assuming, of course, you are one.

    Aren't you lucky you don't pull this crap where someone would take umbrage to an immediate level of "you shouldn't have done that"? Oh wait, I take it back, that wasn't luck. It was planned in accordance with the latest proctological guidelines for continued survival as an .........well you get the idea.
