The invisible man is mute too

Ed Cone called Greensboro city council candidate at-large Gary Nixon the invisible man for his lack of internet presence.

My dad suggested that I email Mr. Nixon and just ask him why he doesn't have a website or a blog. So I did, to the email address listed in the N&R candidate profile. My first email of Sunday afternoon got no reply, so I sent a second on Monday night. Still no reply.

Ed worried that, not only is there a lack of information about Mr. Nixon, but that his avoidance of modern communication tools might indicate "luddism, or at least fuddy-duddism." Whatever you call it, ignoring email is an indication to me that this candidate would not be good at responding to constituents if elected.
