Apparently it has already begun, and although the post below is very tame, I expect it to get much worse. If Pilchesky is smart, he'll keep up on the editing for that thread, as I think the Mayor's "ignore the idiots" tactic is out the window if his wife becomes a target.
Doherty's wife now on U of S board of trustees In my opinion this is a conlict of interest. Scranton and this university are already too cozy. Another thing, why is the university getting 10 million to renovate the south side comlex when they have 100's of millions in the bank? I would think a "non-profit" would want to spend what they have.

This is dd.coms worst nightmare. Kind of like when the "Key Master" meets the "Gate Keeper" in Ghostbusters. That's never supposes to happen or all hell will break loose.
The evil ICN and the blood sucking U of S now have joined forces to crush the rebellion. Cue the Darth Vader music.
I can't say I'm a big fan of all of the mayor's policies (note I separate his policies and actions as mayor from his family and personal life, unlike DD), but I truly do not know how he has been able to ignore Pilchesky and his idiot toadies this long. (I picture Pilchesky to be Scott Farcus from a Christmas Story, and the DD posters to be his toadie Grover Dill)
But I just would not be able to just ignore some moron who continues to degrade my wife and children. In a way, maybe his ignoring Joe is good, its probably frustrating Joe to no end, since he seems like the type who likes to provoke confrontation.

I don't know the Mayor personally, but I have spoken to him on a few occasions and my best educated guess is that being more of a 'private sector' guy, he's used to having to ignore idiots in his business dealings...be they suppliers, customers, etc. As a result, the Pilchesky 'ignore' tactic is most likely not much of an extension for him. I do, however, think it drives Pilchesky nuts. He loves the fact that, for example, he's gotten under the skin of Judy Gatelli.
I've noticed that the thread is question hasn't seem many replies, which is a good thing. While I'd love nothing more than to see the spectacle associated with Pilchesky getting his 'nads slammed, the cost of it coming at the expense of Donna Doherty is far too high. She has done nothing but be involved in the community, raise her family and be a supportive spouse...things that should be admired, not subject to the rantings by a few bitter trolls.

What I would ask if I knew this flyonthewall would be ... just what is the conflict of interest that he/she is talking about???
As far as I can see there is no conflict ... no matter who this woman works for I am sure that the DD'er and LoD'ers would find some sort of conflict as they have made a sport of bashing the Doherty's!
