Profiting alert! WARNING. WARNIN

Posted in: Historic Old Northeast
you protest too much

Yes my dear, you do protest too much and too loudly. Could it be you have something to hide? My, my, we certainly have pulled those board members who are lining their pockets out of the woodwork with one little innocuous discussion. Let us dissect your comments:

?“Frankly, my dear, you are stupid.?”

Now there is certainly no need to call names. This reflects more on you than on me. Let us read on:

?“Lots of people advertise in the newsletter as a means of supporting the cost of producing and mailing it.?”

Now, I have assumed ?– perhaps wrongly ?– that the newsletter offers advertising as a means of supporting the cost of it, and people advertise to get customers. But, what you suggest is different than that, is it not? You suggest that the good board members advertise as a means of supporting the newsletter. Isn?’t that quaint?

But, you go one with your well thought out argument -

?”They don't necessarily need it for advertising- I know that to be a fact in one of your slurring references.?”

I simply do not what you mean or know what to say. You have really got me with a good one there, Anonymous. So, you continue:

''How would you propose to pay the high cost of the newsletter?''

Gee Anonymous, maybe we could go on advertising but have the Board members not advertise. Or, if we didn't pay the $2,500 e-boardmembers.com refers to then we would certainly have some money to pay for the newsletter and plan picnics with. Then you say:

?“Again, as so many people have asked you- either quit posting here or try to say something productive instead of slamming individuals all the time.?”

I don?’t believe I was slamming any individual, but you seem to have taken it as a personal affront. Again, I am simply recommending policy that would be good for the neighborhood and the board. It is a win-win deal. I?’m simply proposing an action that would insulate Board members and the community from those who wish to prosper from their involvement on the board. I wish you wouldn?’t take this so personally. I would like to hear from other, more balanced people than you. Do you have some lithium in your medicine cabinet? Try some, you?’ll feel much better.

I do hope you get over this so we can be friends again,

Frankly

ps - glad you got your keyboard caps lock fixed.

I am not the all caps person.

You claim not to slam people but make remarks about ''lithium'' and being ''more balanced''. It just seems you cannot post anything without being rude on an individual basis.

Stick to your premise without making
pointed examples. Then you might
get some decent discussion.

there you go again

Please stop. These personal attacks are ridiculous.

Not Exactly!

Frankly, none of the Board members or their businesses could ever survive by placing an add in our little news letter.

Many of our board members are quite good at theit repective jobs with out the help of our news letter.

However, i am certain that they advertise in our new letter to help create business.

If that was not their purpose for placing the adds, and they simply wanted to help our news letter then they could say some thing more philanthorpic, like, ''save the dolphins'', or ''help the red cross'' and ''be a big brother or sister''.

The truth is, people place adds to help create business. In our little news letters case, i think people are placing adds to also help support the news letter in addition to creating business. Nothing wrong with that.

Thank you.

My cocearn is that, we should not have any board member profitting from North Shore. Our board members should NOT be doing business in North Shore.

Do you think Greg Burton will not benefit as a real estate broker by saying he is the President of North Shore?

It is a conflict that he appears to be happy to take advatage of.

Greg Burton critized Steve Lange for having a conflict. Now he has one potentially everyday as a broker.

What is bad for one is also bad for another.

All i demand is consistency. I will probably get my wish with this.

You will criticize me for being fair to people that advertise and Greg Burotn will criticize me for calling it like it is.
