To: Illiterate

How can you say what you said and criticize this group when this group has not even published a single word yet? You have to wait for for this group to write and publish first. To denounce a group BEFORE they have said or done anything is really, really DUMB.

You Proved My Point

Any corrective feedback to you or disagreement with you results in animosity, name-calling and personal attacks on people.

To: My Point

Listen, none of your postings have any corrective feedback in them or anything else factual to add to this debate.

And, for your information, I got snuck up on by five board members who I thought were my neighbors. People that I was dedicated to working with for the betterment of North Shore. They wrote crap about me. Left a despicable letter on my front porch late on a Sunday night without warning. They ganged up the next evening in an ambush to remove my North Shore membership. My North Shore membership!!!! (That was they way the talked to me and the way Gemma was chiming in from the couch in the corner of the room.) Where is the due process in that. Where was the sensitivity by these folks that maybe they ought to sit down with Steve first and discuss their concerns with him so that they could resolve their issues, etc., etc. No, they proferred the ax as opposed to dialogue. Then, when they failed to get me on Monday night at the board meeting they sent Gemma and another gang to bushwack me at the general membership meeting the next Monday night, complete with 31 supporters, all planned, all set up.

Now who got wronged here? Me or your pals. It was me! I and no one I know ever did any of these things to anyone else. It was your pals who started all of this. Not me.

Now, others who have been attacked have not fought back like me. That is their decision and I respect it. But, do not think for a moment that I am cut from that same cloth. I am not. I will defend myself against all comers, including you, until this issue is resolved. Every time one of you writes in like this my sails fill with gusts of wind and a plow on through these rough waters even faster. So write on who ever you are. Give me more motivation.

P.S. I am glad that I am not you. I would be ashamed of myself to feebly attempt to defend my friends anonymously with your empty and shallow postings. Your postings add nothing, illuminate nothing, inform no one. They just say how bad I am. Please do us all, and me, a favor. Write something factual for all of us to sink our teeth into. And for goodness sake, quit banging the same old drum about me. Come up with something, anything new. O.K.

CORRECTION

Every statement in your second paragraph is false.

Those ''folks'' did sit down and talk with you at that board meeting in June. They attempted dialogue. They did NOT threaten you. Your behavior, on the other hand, was a precursor to your behavior at the June membership meeting.

No one was sent to the membership meeting to ''bushwack'' you. It was NOT a set up.

Your statement that you are not ''cut from the same cloth'' as those you perceive to be your enemies, is most certainly true.

Who got wronged here? The association most of all.

Who started ''all of this'' ? Look in the mirror.
