When a member of the public dared to exercise his right to free speech and question Goodmon's motives, he stood up and shouted replies from the back of the room, completely disrupting the proceedings. And he refused to stop even after Metro's Jody Litvak reminded him that he had been allowed to speak uninterrupted and had an obligation to allow others to do so. And his using the f-word against Expo Authority CEO Rick Thorpe at a recent public meeting has also been widely disseminated. If he wants to move into politics, he needs to remember that his behavior in public will be reported and commented upon. Oh, and by the way, at that same Saturday meeting, he admitted during his shoutfest that the map that is linked to here was really designed as nothing more than a vehicle to get himself attention ... which certainly sounds to me like he is less of a public transportation advocate and more of a spotlight seeker. For what reasons, one must wonder.</p>
