Mr. Motz’s failed attempt instead exhibits the meanness and intolerance of today’s left. This intolerance is one of the reasons I left the Democrat Party after the attempted political assassination of that “brown” guy, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Threatened by diverse political views, Mr. Motz is pitiful as he withdraws from people with whom he does not see “eye to eye.” I’m glad he is a resident of Water Mill, because here in East Hampton people with vastly different political views work together every day on a host of community issues. On occasion, these adults even have dinner together.
Life is short, and it is a shame that Mr. Motz and his ilk spend precious time seeking to pull apart this wonderful community and country. They should just be ignored.

What You Don't SeeClose your eyes and picture yourself asking for one more day. This isn’t about death — it’s about fear. Not the kind that comes from a horror movie, but the fear that creeps into everyday life: at the grocery store,...
No JustificationI must say, my stomach turned as I read the antisemitic diatribe Richard Smith submitted [“A War Crime,” Letters, September 4] about heinous acts apparently committed by the surrounded, out-gunned, out-manned Jewish forces defending themselves after the State of Israel...
