Inappropriate Messages from Holmes? Anyone?

Has anyone else received what you considered an unprofessional, inappropriate, rude or offensive reply from Teresa Holmes, a trustee-elect of the Richland Two school board who has never taken the oath of office legally?

At the September 28th board meeting I read an email to the board that she sent to me after I had written to the District's public relations director and suggested that Holmes' board member bio should be updated.

In case you missed my previous article about it or the public participation segment of that board meeting, here is what Holmes wrote to me on September 15, 2021 at 10:57PM:

"Gus, I have often tolerated you hateful remarks and email. However, this time you have gone too far.  I lost my husband Rev. Dr. Jacob A. Holmes Jr. 4 years ago which, I know you are fully aware of.  I will no longer tolerate nor concern myself with your continuous diatribe of falsehoods and insults.  After this message you are officially blocked from any further contact   with me.  Go spout your hate on those who care  about you and what your deceitful lying  mouth has to say.....Do not contact  me again or include me in your racist, hateful. lying  remarks or emails.  It is sad that someone of your advanced age is not concerned about your mortality and relationship with God.  I will pray that God will forgive your outright evilness and have mercy for your pitiful soul.  It has to be hard working on being so evil.  

       

Widower,

Dr. Teresa Holmes 

#Officallydonewithyourfoolishness"

Holmes has also threatened to sue me three times, because I continue to complain that she has never taken the oath of office legally and, therefore, is not a legitimate member of the school board and cannot serve as an officer of the board.

I myself find her message unprofessional and offensive. It may even border on defamatory and libelous, considering use of the hashtag. A person representing a public body (non-religious school board) should refrain from invoking religion in a message to a school district constituent. 

I had no knowledge of her marital status or of her being a widow (not a widower). She is wrong to accuse me of being "fully aware" of that. 

If you have received any inappropriate message(s) from Teresa Holmes, please post a comment below or send a direct message to me at gusphilpott@gmail.com  I shall not disclose your name and/or the content of any direct email to me without your express consent.ft
