City attorney Goldsmith boasted how he worked on Filner ouster for 8 months
So extraterrestrial aliens are involved in the conspiracy to oust Filner!!— October 21, 2013 10:06 a.m.
Poway man sues Apple
True - he seems to be doing this out of principle rather than to make a quick buck. I wonder how many thousand dollar / hr lawyers Apple will have agonizing over whether to pay him his $50.— October 20, 2013 4:30 p.m.

Google and Microsoft make smart phones too. He could switch to one of those if he doesn't like his iPhone. It's not a monopoly in which he is forced to make one choice. It seems sort of obvious to me that all high-tech products nowadays force you to do periodic OS upgrades which will all have some benefits but some disadvantages as well.— October 20, 2013 8:29 a.m.

My mind can be changed but so far nothing you have presented has done so. Keep up with the investigations, however - it's good for the truth to come out one way or another. Personally, I wouldn't bet on the truth coming out the way you think it will but I've been wrong before.— October 20, 2013 8:18 a.m.

I think Don is providing reliable facts and information. However, in my opinion Don has interpreted those facts and information in a way which is unreasonably favorable to Filner. Wishful thinking perhaps. I don't think Don's physical location is especially relevant - internet and long distance phone lines are cheap these days.— October 19, 2013 4:14 p.m.

I just don't know what else anyone at City Hall could reasonably do if they honestly felt that Filner was completely out of control. Were Goldsmith's actions partially politically motivated? Probably but to me that still doesn't excuse Filner - nor does it excuse the Democratic Party for allowing Filner to represent them. The blame lies with Filner - and to some extent with the Democratic Party for supporting Filner. If Goldsmith, Harris, Frye, and the rest of the Global Conspiraracy to Remove Filner actually did something illegal or unethical then corrective action should be taken. But so far I don't see any solid evidence of that.— October 19, 2013 1:04 p.m.

Thanks for your response, but I don't think you answered the question. It was a hypothetical question in that you had to assume that Goldsmith and the legal team and the psychologist all had good reason to believe, as Donna Frye eventually did, that Filner was unfit to serve as mayor - regardless of political opinions. If you disagree that Filner was unfit to serve as mayor that is fine. But certainly others may have honestly believed that Filner was unfit to serve as mayor. That's unquestionably a reasonable opinion given what we know about Filner's behavior. I'll ask the question again. If others honestly believed that Filner was completely unfit to serve as mayor due to workplace behavior issues what should they have done differently? If you can't answer that question then any investigations in Goldsmith aren't going to go anywhere.— October 19, 2013 8:41 a.m.

So if Goldsmith, his legal team, and the psychologist honestly believed that Filner was completely unfit to serve as mayor and needed to be removed as quickly as possible then what other options did they have?— October 18, 2013 7:47 p.m.

For the record I'll state that my personal take is that Don Bauder is a great journalist and for the most part his columns are a great benefit to the San Diego community. However, I strongly disagree with Don regarding his continued defense of Bob Filner and portraying this issue as a coup / lynch mob. I'll apologize for a few comments I've made in past threads which were a bit over the top in criticizing Don on this matter.— October 18, 2013 12:01 p.m.

My theory - based on reports such as http://articles.latimes.com/2013/aug/06/local/la-… is that people behind the scenes did try to get Filner to change his behavior but he would not do so.— October 18, 2013 11:51 a.m.
