Comments on Port Watch
He obviously isn't very familiar with the way emails tne find their way onto the Slog...
Or maybe he believes in Truth, Justice, and all that ...
Josh,
Outside your little Capitol Hill bubble, you have a different reputation: a nut job. Since you make up quotes, sticking to emails is the right move for a nervous flak.
Josh: Your awkward syntax left the door open for a negative response. No?
Hey if I change my name to Mic or Mick can I get a kushy job at the port -
Wasn't the Stranger's beef last week that someone from the Times would only do a phone conversation and not email?

I realize Dan and Josh are not the same person, but it seems rather petulant to have Slog posts blasting Turnbull for wanting to talk via phone, and then a week later blasting Schultz for wanting to use email. Who knows, perhaps Schultz reads Slog and thought email was the correct choice?
The first rule of Port Club is that there are no problems at the Port.
The second rule is that you don't talk to people outside of Port Club, because they always seem to think there are problems at the Port.
The third rule is that Mic/Mick thing.
And now you have reason #4598 for not wanting the port to take over Boeing Field. Can you say unaccountable? Sure you can...
Maybe, just maybe, he wanted a list of questions, or even a paragraph, so he could actually find some answers. If he took all of your questions at once, went and did research, he could send you a coherent reply, instead of taking each question one by one and having to respond to them on the fly.
I don't know... that's just what I would do. Maybe, after he's replied with the answers to your questions, he'd be up for a phone interview for clarification purposes.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm really phone-phobic, myself. I HATE being asked questions on the phone, because I can't think clearly on the phone. It's like a pop quiz I haven't studied for every time. In writing, I have a chance to actually THINK about the questions and give a thought-out response.
Maybe he also prefers to conduct this sort of business in writing. Not everyone conducts business on the telephone.
