You protest too much, Mr. Malcolm. It seems you've taken the R-G's new standards for "civility" a bit too seriously. One can question someone's sincerity and even honesty and still be civil. 
You've hit the nail on the head, Mr. Malcolm, if someone is disrupting the flow of traffic, that is already against the law so simply applying the laws already in existence to this (in all likelihood) imaginary problem will suffice. Neither you nor the Springfield city councilors have demonstrated that there is a traffic obstruction problem. To the extent there is one, the means to stop traffic obstructions already exist. The fact that you fail to acknowlege this easily observable fact is what makes people like Gary Crum question your motives.
