Dear Source:
Dear Y. Hanley: I must take exception to your comments. I too am a frequent visitor to the UVI Constitutional Convention site www.Itsourfuture.vi
As a person dedicated to the Constitutional Process, I make comment on the site and I look to see if others are equally interested in the Constitution for the Virgin Islands. I am NOT wrong about what I found on the site and I made no "gross error". If you want to check for yourself, enter the site, click on membership list and at the bottom choose, "select a forum" and then choose, "if I could….". Now, the URL will change from the UVI "It's our Future" to "vitalbusinesssolutions.net. This is the forum area. Or you can simply go to: http://vitalbusinesssolutions.net/uviforum/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=a67e6818a10bab7088ea5359adaa423f
I am not in the habit of making false accusations or giving information that may be suspect. The site is there for all to see. I am fully aware that detrimental information can be harmful. I wanted to point this "gross error" out so that others, such as your self, could be informed.
I would ask that you or anyone else who is interested would visit the site yourself, and if you feel that the forum area is perfectly acceptable to persons who would visit the forum then, by all means, I am wrong. My opinion is that an "Open Forum" section on a site paid for by government funds (our money) should not be used to post anything but subject matter relating to the Constitutional issues. I would think, with your level of concern, that if should you find the same smut I found, you would promptly contact the UVI staff who are in charge of monitoring this site, paid for by public funds.
I do appreciate your bringing this matter to the forefront but perhaps you should have completed a thorough search of the site before you wrote your rebuttal.
