Panel including friend of the blog, Amy Bergquist, and other local bloggers talking about the state of Hartford and what can be done to improve it’s image and quality of life.
I’ve mentioned to both Kerri and Amy that they were great, but Ken Krayeske just struck me as a bit too intense for the format. I don’t necessarily disagree with a lot of what he said, just didn’t like his delivery.
Regardless, I learned a few things from all three about the city that’s walking distance away from my house (a longish walk, these days, but not when I lived on South Highland).

I’m sorry I’m too intense. Any suggestions for toning it down?
How should I lighten up when I discuss the poverty that plagues our country? my city?

Hi Ken,
I think you trying to win an argument while the panel seemed to be more about having a conversation. And, more to the point, I’m not sure who you were arguing with…
I’m not against you or really even on the opposite side of these issues, yet you just pounced on me as if I don’t care about the “poverty that plagues our country.” If that’s how you want to start a conversation, then I don’t really want to listen. It’s tough to have a conversation and listen to someone whose first step is to vilify me, don’t you think?

ken, to me, came across as intensely caring about the environment in which he lives and the problems that he sees. i do not view this as “too intense” but more like he is not a passive observer like others tend to be/can afford to be.

Subtlety is lost electronic type of 10 point arial. I wasn’t vilifying you – I was asking a genuine question which apparently came off in the wrong tone – apologies for any misconstruction of it.
