When the Shoe is on the Other Foot

I saw the recent message from Daltyn and I need to be clear about how I see it. The pain and frustration described there is the same treatment I experienced from him and his staff. It is the reason I reached out before and it is the reason I have to put this into words now.

I do not have sympathy for what is being framed as victim behavior. When you take a “we do not care about you” stance toward others, it is hard to expect compassion when the same weight comes back around. Leadership choices shape the tone of a community. If that tone is dismissive, it eventually creates the same environment that now feels unbearable.

What I extend in return is not pity but a polite acknowledgment that the shoe is now on the other foot. The experience that is being described is exactly what was handed out to me and my crew.

I carry no anger in saying this. It is simply the boundary I have to hold.
