Letters

I am writing to express my deep disappointment in the actions of the Southampton History Museum in evicting the Conscience Point Shellfish organization from their longtime operating home at Conscience Point.

This is not a “community-first” approach to resolving what appears to be a misunderstanding. The initial response these days in nearly any matter, or for any perceived slight, is to “go nuclear” — lawyer up, send nasty letters, bully and evict. It’s a terrible approach.

The actions of the Southampton History Museum are not in the best interests of this community, its students or even the museum in the long run. It’s bad business, bad spirit and counter to the intent of those who claim to want to better the community.
