We, the undersigned, being actual rational, mature, and productive members of society, strongly disagree with the superfluous whining and deceitful gossip that has dominated the petition created by the homeowners of the Somerset Subdivision.

We understand that the area is zoned for single family living. We have no opposition to members of SHOA (Somerset Home Owners' Association) wanting to keep their neighborhood this way. We are, however, strongly offended by their use of an online petition as a forum to b**** and moan and pass unsubstantiated judgment under the guise of concern for their community. We wish that these petty and gossip-loving "adults" would have the maturity to keep their comments relevant to the alleged issue, which is to keep Somerset zoned for single-family living. We would prefer that the members of SHOA use their petition only for respectful and relevant comments that are appropriate to submit to a review committee (or whatever they intend to do with it) and limit their slanderous and insipid commentary to an outlet more fitting of their clearly sophomoric mentality. May we recommend the Somerset Subdivision's Facebook page:

Myspace and Twitter also seem viable options. We're sure the members of SHOA would all be well within their element while utilizing these reputable forums for social activism and change.
