Employees in District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Office of Community Affairs are apparently required to stand every time the mayor enters the room.
Staff members in the office were ordered to stand up and greet Bowser when she entered the room for a meeting, according to an email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation via the D.C. government’s Freedom of Information Act online reading room.
In the email dated Feb. 5, Bowser’s director of community affairs, Charon P.W. Hines directs Bernedia Long, an employee of the agency, to make sure all staff members stood up when they saw Bowser.

Almost anything is allowed, but the limitations are in the guide to the forum. I do not see that your appraisal is out of bounds; but in discussing things with Buckley, he might have asked you to stick to the dictionary and its usual definitions in developing your logic. I was just reminding you of that.
Nice shot of him, BTW. It's interesting that you are shocked that my point of view is somewhat different than yours. A defensive-aggressive response is probably not going to help you forward your argument, either. Just an observation --
Somehow you think I need to follow your advice in furthering my "argument", when, in fact, I am not in an argument. Only you are...with yourself. I was just stating my opinion about a situation, which BTW, I can arrive at on my own without your counsel.
So I'll reiterate my opinion, less you didn't get it the first time. This DC mayor is arrogant and too full of herself if she has to order people to stand when she enters a room. I know two former mayors of cities, albeit smaller than Washington, who would laugh out loud at the audacity of this woman' inflated view of her own self importance. This is not about "respect" but "conceit"on her part.
Have a great day, pal. :-)
I think you got my point. Like it or not, she got respect whatever the method. And more in-your-face doesn’t solve your problems with definitions by ducking them. Just an observation. I can’t help it if you see it as a criticism and react.
Try dealing with your own problems with "definitions". Try looking this one up in the dictionary and learn what it means: "Goodbye."
Ah, there's something about this statement that does not seem to be quite right -- wonder what that is? Hmmm. (/sarc)
Standing up every time the one in charge entered the room - has that even been seen since the Nazis in WWII?
