Outrage over email sent to candidate’s employer
Anne LaGrange Loving
To the Editor:
I was completely dismayed to learn that an anonymous coward sent an email to Village Council candidate Michael Sedon’s employer, in a blatant attempt to derail his run for public office.
Was anything in this anonymous letter not true? I fail to share the outrage and as far as political dirty tricks go, this is pretty mild. I would suggest that Mr Sedon go on the offensive and show us he’s up for a fight…..I believe he is.
its a SCUMBAG THING TO DO , and no it was not true its was dishonest ,pathetic and typical Ridgewood unfortunately, did I leave out that the person or persons who did are COWARDS , hopefully that clears it up for the ethically and morally challenged in the Village
#1 You must be a hardened politico, maybe even our Mayor. Here is a decent man who has answered the call to seek public office and the first thing this “anonymous” person does is get him fired from his job? You call that “mild”? What a world you must live in.
You “James” are a SCUMBAG for running this blog which allows people to do exactly what was done to Mike Sedon! You harbor and enable anonymous cowards to attack others and then you have the nerve to post this crap complaining about the same thing that you permit. You are right about one thing SCUMBAG says it all!
Sorry Mr Coward but why do you need to use proxy servers like Hide My Ass! Free proxy node (IP address 67.159.5.242 ) I suggest you come out of the closet .
Anonymous posts are allowed on this blog to protect people from people like you !
While the Founder and Owner of this blog has his name on it .
This blog was specifically established to protect the public from the town bullies ,Mike was just the latest victim , notice none of the recent non-sense whether its Mike or the “Ridgewood Soccer mom” had anything to do with this blog . That’s no surprise these acts of harassment are perpetuated by the same crew who also harassed the “math moms ” and certain town employees some even squandered their time with a fake flogs hiding behind their wife , so sad.
#4 — the person that contacted Mr. Sedon’s employer has crossed the line and hopefully will be exposed through a governmental investigation. In my mind, the only person or people that would do that would be:
a) somebody that was running against Mr. Sedon
b) somebody that is afraid that Mr. Sedon wouldn’t support their issue (i.e Valley or downtown overdevelopment)
I think it was probably item b and possibly item a as well.
This blog is there to counteract the hot air coming out of the government (i.e. Arohnsohn and his self-serving pronouncements) and the corporate interests.
Therefore, comparing this blog’s purpose and the probably *criminal* interference with Mr. Sedon’s employment is like comparing apples and oranges.

Contents of the letter sent to Mr. Sedon’s former employer have not been made public. Thus, how would anyone except the letter’s author, and selected members of management from Mr. Sedon’s former employer, know what was written. Any suggestion that the letter’s contents were truthful and mild must be coming from someone who wrote it or read it. Which one are you #1?
So you don’t have the BALLS to post my reply. (Ha Ha Ha your hilarious) No surprise your a loser and a jerk with no Balls.
you need to come out of the closet , Mr Coward Hide My Ass
How convenient you forget about Martin Brooks who was selected for Schools Superintendent, effective July 1, 2007. But by mid-June, Brooks declined the invitation for what the Board described as personal reasons, but we both know it was due to the bullying and bullshit on this blog that caused him to change his mind. I know you will not post this because it shows how hypercritical you and this blog is.
You dont know Marty Brooks , Marty Brooks was a Looney Tune who was RUN out of long Island by an angry mob of caring parents (over 800 signatures on the remove Marty Brooks petition ) He was asked one question by a caring Village parent and fled . The BOE did an amazing lack of due diligence on that one and the town dodged a bullet . BTW Fishbien while I don’t agree with his every move has done by most accounts a much better job than many of his predecessors . Thank God No Marty Brooks
#8 –your example is totally different from Mr. Sedon’s issue.
The Blog is a community forum that people can choose to read or comment on. Mr. Brooks could have ignored this or chose to make an action based on people’s feelings and comments.
Contacting somebody’s employer is a totally different situation.

If you can’t stand the heat, don’t jump into the fire. I guess Mr. Brooks couldn’t stand the heat, or had something he wanted to hide that he felt would eventually be exposed on this blog.
LONG LIVE THE RIDGEWOOD BLOG!
Probably someone who is at work and doesn’t want you to see his/her employer’s IP address. Maybe even someone who works for the Village of Ridgewood? No, that could not be. Village employees don’t waste time conducting personal business.
When you start posting everyone else’s names who makes comments here I will post my name.
I’m #1 and am not the one sparing with the moderator. Didn’t write it or read it but was under the impression the letter just stated that Mr Sedon was running for VC. I think Mr Sedon would be a good choice but to think that an investigation by LE is warranted seems to go overboard. Politics can be a dirty game.
Politics does not have to be a dirty game, and we in Ridgewood could decide that we are not going to accept this as acceptable. Money is spent on all kinds of things in ridgewood. Why not spend a little on this, to send a clear message that interfering with our election process is not acceptable.
#17 – Our Mayor does not want Mr. Sedon on the Council so I wouldn’t count on any serious investigation run by the Village.
@#8…then show your spine and post your name…it may be posted then….
Back to Mike…..I hope the person who did this to him is out-ed. Who knows, it might even be the person who goes to all the trouble of having a secret proxy server to hide his identity.
