As a relative newcomer to Northampton who rejoices in the different viewpoints that make this city special, I was disappointed in the tone of Marc Warner’s Feb. 25 guest column “Northampton the ‘last place’ for reparations.”
Is it necessary to refer to the City Council’s “silliness” or to describe their recent resolution on reparations as “jaw-droppingly nuts?”
Insult is almost always less effective than argument.
