Elk Konnected Hand out at County Commissioners meeting on 4/25

[thatsMRSc2u]

See you do not comprehend the difference between a meeting and a conversation. And IMHO I don't believe you would know if you were being used or not as a socalled volunteer. I am sorry my man but I will no longer discuss this subject with you. Perhaps another day and another topic. Thank you for your input.

No Ross....what you really mean is he doesnt agree with YOU blah blah blah

What? You mean you don't comprend the difference between a conversation and a business meeting??
Companies use business meetings to review company information or establish new operating principles.
Cinversation the informal exchange of ideas by spoken words.
The conversation and the purpose of this thread is to engage Elk Konnected registered members or owners in a meaning full conversation. I am using the word engage because it is a term applied by Elk Konnected, LLC and Public Square Communities, LLC. They wish to engage the community and the Public Square but seem to be fearful with out a completely controlled arena and by their control standards. Control, control, contro. That's what it's all about isn't it.

The followers volunteer to do what Elk Konnected, LLC tells them what to do. Sure you think you followers are in the loop but you are not. How come you have never been invited to an actual business meeting? How come you have no idea how many tens of thousands of dollars Elk Konnected has taken in? Do you know that some volunteers for the soccer days were paid 8 or 9 dollars an hour. No I can't prove it and I can't reveal my source. So just consider it B. S. your choice.

Some where along the lines or between the lines more of you will wake up.

Hi Diane Amberg

On another thread you were discussing what you would do if you were running a class. I did point out that's different. But too add to that I was in Longton last night for a baseball game at the fairgrounds. And guess what, there was a meeting going on. It was the Board of the Longton Free Fair. I did stroll by the door and peer in, no circles that  I could see. I watched and it apppeared to be an open discussion. I did not enter even though I believe it was open to the public. I wnted to but I had my sons ball game to attend to. It was written up in the newspaper and all the board members names were listed. There were no sheriff deputies stationed at the meeting.

After the meeting broke up I returned to the building where they had their meeting. And guess what I was welcomed in by the few that were lingering around. I only knew one amn but that's why I went back --- for a short conversation with him. One of the board members did say he saw me out there looking in and wondend red why I did not come in. It did not bother them in the least.

The community of Longton has an exceptionally friendly and gracious attitude in MHO.

I have 'waddled' through the last 7 pages of this semantic charade and wish to see if I get it right before I email the Dept of Comm.
1.  Elk Konnected LLC - which needs only one person to sign, formed an LLC to assure the exorcise gym was protected from lawsuits....I understand that.  I also understand that the persons signing can change from time to time.
2.  Elk Konnected LLC - requested and paid Public Squares Community, LLC to hold a 'thing-a-maj-ingy' (cuz no one can really agree on what it was) to get a acommunity response as to goals.  ROSS>>>>>don't go off on me just yet about intent of the thing-s-ma-jingy'
3.  After this incident, a group was formed by volunteers in the specific criteria, and the group came up with Elk Konnected, whose main function is to assist in the above goals.

Now, I will inquire into Elk Connected, LLC.   I will inquire into Public Square Community, LLC.
I do think the name of Elk Konnected (without the LLC) is a separate entity and the above terms at this oint should not be intertwined. 

So....I will inquire as to the funding from Elk Connected, LLC for starters.  This may take awhile as I do work and it is the weekend, however I get a sneaky feeling this thread may last a bit....

I will post back their reply ver batim.

Ross, ya make it sound like you think I run unfriendly classes.   A Longton Fair board meeting would be a homogeneous group with a like agenda, open to the public certainly. Circles would not have meet their needs. But you said the meeting was under way when you found it and you were polite enough not to disrupt it, although I have no doubt you would have been welcome to quietly take a seat. Now, if you had marched in before the meeting, demanded to speak to the chairperson and then turned and demanded to speak to those assembled, there might have been a different outcome. (I wrote that for effect.)

I did not mean to imply you ran an unfriendly class. My apologies for that. I was just trying to lead into last nights event. I fell certaiin if I would have walked in with a question I would have been recieved very graciously.  However at the Community conversation I was invited in, I did not march in. And I did not demand anything at the Community Conversation I simply asked to speak with the man from out of County and he said outside and I asked what was wrong with speaking in front of the community. No answer, just where are the sheriff.

 Ross...I said in the first post when I came here, that I questioned your methods...read back to when I first joined.  You were just activating your rights as a citizen...I get that.  Perhaps your interpretation was skewed?
Now, I am not picking your feathers alive, Ross.  I will do what I say. 
I am not picking sides, just wondering and filtering the comments.

Sorry, I was typing as you were posting.  That's like talking over one another.

Ross:  Perhaps the questions that you ask are valid ones.  And pray tell - what will you do with the answers if they are not what you expected?   Like perhaps an honest answer with a valid end result?  (Sometimes I won't answer a question that is easy to answer, but the process in order to obtain a simple end result may be very complicated within the law and just not worth the effort to explain. And, no. I  am not affiliated with the ElkKon LLC.)
   I can understand your frustration at trying to 'unearth' the questions you put forth, just not so sure just asking the questions might not be perceived as a pre-predjudice of mistrust for an organization. 
   I am in agreement to be informed within the workings of the community.  Remember, "bristling (is that a word?) is a natural reaction to questions of intent in this area.  Not to say that the questioning isn't warranted....yet somehow I believe it can be achieved perhaps in a different manner.  Just my opinion.     ready

There it is and I stand by it, until further notified by the 'proper authorites' as Wilma calls it.
I am listening and waiting...
and   Ready

I imagine you are right Diane, If Ross had DEMANDED to speak he might of got kicked out of the meeting but I believe you are referring to him being escorted out of the EK meeting and although I wasn't there I understood that he asked POLITELY to speak to people. Big difference, eh ?
This whole thread simply amazes me. Ross & Patriot keep asking questions and most of the people that come back at them with both barrels blazing , don't even live in Elk county. It does not affect them in any way. Oh I know, "they have roots in Elk county" but moved away to make their fortune---but "By Gosh , weather I live in Butler county, Arkansas, Delaware or Missouri, I know what's best for you poor morons that do not have enough sense to leave that poverty stricken area".
Now I'm done with my rant and need to get back to digging the punji pit on the path where ol Sarge goes fishing !!
