It all started simply enough, as these things usually do.

I saw a series of Tweet on Sunday from the Buncombe County Republican Party.  The BCGOP was going after Asheville City Councilman Gordon Smith, a Democrat.

(The oldest Tweet is at the bottom)

These tweets elicited a response from an anonymous person (named after a science fiction character) who began defending the Food Policy Council and Councilman Smith.  I offered comments on the GOP's point about the local non-profit scene. 

And then things took off.

The Mountain Xpress took notice and put it all together in an easy-to-read format on Storify.
