Dear DignityMatters:
I generally agree with your points, BUT, there's this:
"A legal representative of Mr. Calouro sent the town council a letter of intent to file suit about a month ago as a result."
If Mr. Calouro truly wants to keep "something in his life he’d rather not want the world to know" a secret, he should abandon this foolishness about suing the town.
If he continues, he should expect the town, its counsel, and its elected officials to do everything in their power to mount a defense. If they choose to be bare-knuckled about it, well that's their decision.
You can't poke a bear with a stick and expect not to get bitten.
