The Editor,

Re. “Social media poisoning politics, Port Coquitlam mayor laments” (tricitynews.com, Sept. 14).

From the referenced story: “Moore, who won’t seek re-election in November, said platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can be a successful communication tool for politicians connecting with their electorates.”

Yes, this is a great tool, but if you actually asked Mayor Moor a question and he didn’t like it, he would not answer, or just simply block you. He did it to me and he did it to many others.

Ask him a touchy question and he gives speaking points.

Try to debate him and it his view that will win over — you are not going to change his mind.

Is it ethically, even morally correct to give yourself a raise and vote on it yourself?

How many members of the public get to vote on their own raise?

Good riddance.
