Dear Mr. Lange:

I am not new to the area but relatively new to Old Northeast. I know a great many people who live here and have for years. One friend suggested that I check-out this website. What a shock!

I have read every posting from March 2000 until now over the last several weeks. Yes, it takes that long to read as I, like most have a day job.

It is clear that those who sit upon the North Shore Board write clear, informative postings. I should note that one board member fails to be so rational. That would be you.

Your rantings are churlish, your metaphors are deplorable, your name-calling is repulsive, your attitude is shameful, your respect for anyone but yourself is nonexistent, and your grammer, spelling and punctuation is horrible. You are a first-rate bully.

Nobody can accomplish anything without your going on and on about how fabulous you were and how nobody will ever be able to fill your shoes. Dear God, why haven't you yet been elected King. Oh yes...Kings are divine and not elected. You are less than devine.

It is time for you to put-up or shut-up. Take your business before the board and deal with it. Contrary to your belief, residents of this neighborhood are REALLY tired of you chiming in on every subject.

You are very bitter for having your power usurped. This you brought upon yourself. All this makes one wonder if there is something you are hiding in all this. ''The best defense is a good offense.''

It would have behooved you to apologize for your volatile behavior and endeavoured to make the members more cohesive.

It is quite clear that you have been instrumental in the workings of this organization for years. You have been incredibly involved and active in all aspects. You should be commended for that. Thank you for all your efforts prior to May 2000. Since then, I have lost all respect for you. As for your behavior since, GROW UP!

To: Really concerned

Thank you for your anonymous posting. It does not matter what you think of me, to me. All that matters is that vote that is coming. That is when you will have to put up or shut up.

As for taking it before the board? This subject was taken up before the board on June 12th. I was exonerated 100%. But did that stop Gemma O'Donnel, or Jim Martin or the other board members from coming on June 19th to wack me again. Nope, they just figured out another way to go about doing their dirty work. So, this issue did come up before the board. But in the end it did not matter.

There is only one thing these folks, like you, will understand. And that is the vote which is coming. Everything else you blabber out here on this web site is dribble and does not matter.

Now for you avid readers of this web site, listen to this.

Don't you know that I know that alot of what I have written here is also dribble. I know that. I'm just having fun, doing a little venting and learning how to use this computer, all at the same time. It is for you to figure out what is serious and what is silly. Besides, much of what has been written about me, like most of your posting, has a lot of anger and malice in it. So, you do not like me. Tough. I really don't care. And, if you want me or anyone else for that matter, to take you seriously, put your name on it. Otherwise, have a nice day. Sounds like you need one.

TYPICAL, ARROGANT, POMPOUS, SELF-CENTERED AND EGOTISTICAL RESPONSE.
DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH. HE'LL NEVER GET IT. HE'S A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND.

June 12 to present

Mr Lange: Do not mislead the person who wrote in with shock. You were not open and honest with the board on June 12 you were busy circulating post cards opposing the wishes of the association membership. And there was no set up to ''wack'' you again and the board did address the issue of its leadership at a specialy called meeting at which almost half the board was willing to give you another chance. You weren't removed from the board or your membership and there was nothing done to stop you from attempting to work along side everyone else.
