I am reposting this here because I have a feeling Bob's ret@rd comments below will vanish soon, as it should...............
I have said on here for a decade before you showed up that I don't come here looking for friends. I have a few, and many aquaintences. The few freinds I do have I wouldn't trade for anything. They are almost as important to me as my family. But just for the record, I have made a couple of freinds, and several more aquaintences that I hope move into the freinds catagory as time goes by, from posting here. Some have made our 'relationship' public, others not so much. That is fine. I am VERY outspoken and VERY opinionated. Some of the folks I am getting to know cannot afford to be outspoken or opinionated as publicly as I can due to their postion in the community and business world. I respect their right to privacy. I can assure you that my inbox would surprise you and many others, but those that have corresponded with me KNOW that I will maintain those confidences. They have learned that through trial and error in some cases, the word of others in some cases also.
Also, my ego is just fine. I don't have to build myself up by putting down others. I do enjoy putting down one member in particular, although I had not done so for MONTHS untill he chose to post lies and innacuracies about me. And yes, I blasted him really good for a couple of days. He has chosen to slink back into obscurity. I am sure because he realized what a screwed up, offensive post he made. Not just offensive to me, because he said that I lie about being a property owner, which I am, but offensive to the majority of lake users. He also showed himself to have no integrity. He said if he was corrected by someone else he would admit his mistakes. Now he uses the 'out' that he required 'sworn statements' as proof. Just more proof of what an idiotic post he made. Two respected members corrected him almost immediately. He has yet to admit he was wrong. So be it, it is his integrity, not mine. The sad thing is I had started to respect him somewhat for staying out of the fray for so long. I had shared this opinion with others as well. But now, I realize his true colors are just what I thought them to be 8 years ago when he first appeared here. Leopards don't change their spots.
There are few other forum members who enjoy putting other folks down as well. If that makes them feel better, well, that is just sad for them. They really enjoy talking about others living in trailers. I know some FINE folks that live in trailers. I know some scum that live in mini-mansions. If you look down on someone for living in a trailer, that says a LOT more about you than it does them.
I enjoy a quip or witicism probably more than most. I can take a joke as well as I can give one. Constantly putting folks down says a LOT more about you than them. I guess that is a little redundant, but I want you, and a couple of others to get the message.
My knowledge of this lake and others is vast. I enjoy sharing that knowledge with anyone with a desire to learn more about what us very few are fortunate enough to call home. I understand that being one of the fortunate few affords me no more rights than anyone else who enjoys the lake, be that they live in the ridge or camp at Wind Creek. In the decade or so that I have been posting here I have seen hundreds like you come and go, yet I am still here. Your insults will not run me off, they don't endear you to other froum members, and they don't make you look any smarter. All they do make other folks not want to come here and that is a shame, because a wealth of knowledge flows through here. It is a great resource for all who enjoy the lake.
