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

[Diane Amberg]

Now Jar, I have no barrels, blazing or otherwise and I did say I wrote that for effect. I don't believe he said he was escorted out, but I may be wrong about that. So, if someone asks a question politely the answer has to be yes? I must remember that the next time someone asks politely if I will certify them in CPR without practicing and showing me their skills on a mannequin.  Not hardly. I know, I know, tain't the same thing.
What has this any of this got to do with a judgement call on "morons" living anywhere? Where did that come from?  Pity party? My father left to marry my mother and went to live in her hometown because he loved her and that's where she wanted to live at that time. Her mother was not in good health. Then being a good patriot he came here to work for the war effort doing research in badly need synthetic rubber. He didn't leave to get away from a bunch of morons.
Now don't fall on those punji sticks yourself, ya might forget where you put them....morons indeed. Good grief.

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.

ready

Keep it up and even straighten me out. I am not a politician just a country hick -- no diploma's.
You do appear to be trying to maintain an neutral position.

[greatguns]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I can't stay on this forum 24/7.  Ross, I believe it is you that has at the end of every post "Why won't they converse with us?"  I just supposed you could figure out to whom I was speaking.  Hope this clarified it for you.

Pity party? Laughin my silly redneck ass off!  

[Patriot]

bloviating, really? really? Now I am impressed.You must be a writer or an editor.

Not exactly.  But my 5th grade extra credit spelling word was 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.

Think I could make it as an investigative reporter for a fair sized media outlet?

[Patriot]

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 !!

As I recall. punji's were dipped in feces to ensure infection in the victims.  I think I know where you can get all the BS you might need....you just have to ask the right questions to get it.  

[Wilma]

Or use the questions themselves.

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".

Jar...I blaze up at Ross only when his attitude toward people pisses me off. Somebody tries to answer HIS questions with THEIR answers instead of the ones HE wants. Just gonna have to stop readin cause I cant help for smartin off at him if I do.....just a bad habit I gotta break  

I don't care about EK. I DONT live there, and dont EVER plan on livin there, sometimes we think about movin back to Severy but in all honesty the chances of THAT are slim to none.

I dont like bullies.....I've heard a couple things about Ross's attitude at that meeting too and it was a bit different story than the one you got. So you see it's ALL a matter of perception and my perception of Ross is he's a BIT   pushy, likes to brand whoever aint WITH him as against him and WITH the opposition, likes to "politely" talk DOWN to people, and thinks he's on some "holy crusade" to "save the sheeple of elk county" from their own stupidity and crooked politicians.

Most of the people I know are FAR from stupid and are NOT sheeple so I will more than likely pop off at him occasionally....but that's just my smart-assedness comin out. I figure people there are smart enough to see bullshit before they step in it whether it comes from EK, politicians OR Ross and co. Now I got my own booby traps to go work on  

LOL I'm gonna take Patriots advice and "stop being manipulated" to participate in Ross' thread 

[Patriot]

More evidence that the founder's faith divine Providence was well placed. 

Perhaps now someone will come forward and identify one or more admitted members of Elk Konnected, LLC who can then share their specific long term plans to influence public opinion and to grow Elk County.

Mr and Mrs.'billy...someday you'll figure out my weird sense of humor. Since I have blood roots there why would I tend to think anyone there is a dumb moron?...or if they are, it's of their own doing! You seem to think I look down on you.That couldn't be further from the truth. I was very lucky to have been able to get the education I needed to be who I wanted to be.
 Some people play dumb for their own reasons and I've never understood that. I'm good friends with a bunch of our downstate farmers who also happen to be volunteer firefighters and EMTs, so I've had them in class and out on the fire grounds and seen them in action. They are anything but dummies. And I do get the "Why shucks mam, I'm just a dumb ol' farm boy." My foot! I know how hard the EMT course is and most do just fine. Now, why it's fashionable for them to talk dumb but live smart is beyond me. (hence the pity party comment, meant in fun.) But we're all friends and we do kid around a lot. I get tormented about living above the "ditch''(The C and D canal that divides the state) where the rich folks live that don't have a lick of sense. But it's all in good fun. Why you won't let me do that on here with some of you is beyond me.  I really like all of you except when you dump on me, honestly. I live in town now but grew up as a country kid. I spent my summers picking fruit from our orchard and freezing and canning from our big garden just like everybody else in the country did them. Heck, some of you are more citified than I am. So what? It means nothing.
    Patriot, with that kind of vocabulary you would do well for any printed media.You surely couldn't do any worse than what I read every day and all the spelling errors that apparently nobody proofs for any longer. When I read newspapers and magazines I'm amazed how much error gets through. Between what the kids text and the print errors by professional bloggers and print media we'll soon be back to the old days when there was no standard spelling at all.
