I think it sort like a rip tide effect. You how when a tide comes in and waters start rising, waves reach further and further onto shore ? A riptide occours when some of that water crashes on shore and starts heading back in the opposite direction. The faster the tide comes and the more quickly the water rises, the stronger the rip tide.
The same kind of effect happens on boards like this too. When a bunch of people get excited about something and it starts building momentum, others will pipe up to speak passionately against it. It's some sort extension to natures need to balance things out.
Brittney is unique as SP's go in Ottawa. There are no others her age providing service. That alone makes it likely that some people are going to be thrilled about it. No problem. The other side of the coin is that her youth means she is likely not going to be as polished in her communications here or in her delivery of services. For some that will be a drawing card because it reinforces that youthful vibe they were looking for, for others it would be a reason to pass on seeing her because they know they would be disappointed.
It's all good.
Britteny obviously fills a need in Ottawa, I don't think we should printing up trading cards with her face on them but, I say we extend a warm welcome to her regardless of our personal interest in seeing her.
Welcome Britteny
