Pappy's correct!!! I do not trust them. And they have earned nothing from my household's perspective. One is attempting to subvert the vote of the council. The fact reamains 3 to 2. The other is hacking into websites. Where does it stop?
If we were to ignore the will of the majority, we could have simply left them out of the process to begin with..neither would be right!

Have you ever noticed how stupid, ignorant and corrupt are the people who disagree with you?
Well that's toungue-in-cheek but it is an attitude that I think was developed by the CCs (and this thread is about the CCs isn't it) in the runup to the 2005 council election. Now it seems that everyone is in that mode because it seems to be the only way to defend yourself. That's too bad because it obscures the legitimate debate about taxes and spending in Summerfield.

| i agree Salty Dog the CC's are now reaping what they sowed back before the election, mistrust of people and no real discussion on the issues. I guess the other old adage that comes to mind is about payback.

Excellent perspective, Salty. Their extreme adversarial attacks took us by surprise an' were obviously very effective for them in the short term, but in the long term we are seeing how self-destructive their approach has been an' how empty their promises.
Painful as it's been, I have to b'lieve this close encounter of the CC kind has been a good thing for us to go through. Maybe we're learnin' somethin' we might not have learned as well another way. As easy as it is to take the bait, we don't have to play by their rules. There are important issues to deal with an' we need to stay focused on the issues. The bait may taste good at first but there's a hook hidden in yonder.

Jane, could you kindly point any of us to where either side of Summerfield is having a real discussion of real issues? If there is such a discussion, I for one, am certainly missing it.
All I see and read is one side calling the other one names and the other side (the CC's) basically ignoring you.

| I believe I said there was no discussion of issues. Did you read it as something else? There is no discussion of issues never really has been just flaming of personalities on both sides since the CC came on the scene.

Jane, given your response to clarify, our thinking is in agreement.
Doesn't this whole situation literally beg the question: Where are the peacemakers?

I consider the behavior of the CCs, especially their recent excesses as town council members, is a legitimate issue to be discussed, whether any of them or their supporters want to participate or not.
The forum is not populated by professional politicians, journalists, or debaters fer the most part, as far as I know, so to expect to find much beyond the ever'day people who live aroun' here makin' whatever comments that seem fit to them to make, might not be a realistic expectation. To expect people who are appalled by the actions of the CCs to not say something, is also unrealistic.
On t'other hand, there are other things goin' on in Summerfield that can be discussed an' I reckon we've all marvelled at some o' the very astute observations by a broad range o' people a person can find on here.

Given that about every argument or point that could possibly be made has now already been made against the Concerned Citizens, and that every name in the book has been called out at least once in description or defamation of two duly elected Summerfield Town Council representatives, it just seems that most of you are now simply beating a dead horse and are mostly akin to the dog chasing it's own tail. And obviously doing it now, only for your own selfish yet sadistic pleasures.
And with only 961 days at the earliest before Summerfield voters can vote out the two present CC's, that's simply way too long a time for a continuance of the name calling and finger pointing.
Aren't any of you tired of it yet? I would honestly bet that most Summerfield residents and voters are tired of the name calling and finger pointing on BOTH SIDES. And they make take out THEIR ANGER on both sides.
Why you're driving yourself crazier in your anger and desire for revenge, even more than the Concerned Citizens ever could, and in that, I'm sure they take great delight.
Pappy, with all due respects, what more can you possibly say that hasn't been said and how many more names do you have left to call them?
You're only preaching to the choir.
961 days left in this discussion..........That's a scary thought for the rest of the Northwest and for the good people of Summerfield, who certainly deserve better than either side is presenting.
Again, I repeat the question everyone should be asking: WHERE are the PEACEMAKERS?

I was one of the ones who agreed to get rid of the topic recently because I was tired of it. Somebody else decided there was a need to talk some more about them so they brought it back. If something new comes up, such as Dwayne's hackin' or Becky's bushwhackin', then, yes, people who are outraged by such things will rightly want to talk about it on here.

This all kind of reminds me of the definition of insanity, which is doing what you always have done and then expecting a different result.

Those folks really make your blood boil don't they, even as you continue to go round and round in circles chasing your own tail and kicking up dust and driving yourself mad.

So tell me Jim, how do you make peace with people that don't want peace? Compromise doesn't seem to be an option, do you think?

| There is alot of peacemaker in all of us, but it is unrealistic to not talk about this subject.. Just when things start to die down alittle, these two members of the CC's do something else to blow our minds. I have watched most of u handle this better than I could have...........good going, keep it up
