Bob I wasnt referring to you. You are a valued member and contributor to our community. Thank you.
 
If you don't like how this site is run, it is a big internet, and you are free to leave. No threads have been deleted in quite awhile. Those that have in the past violated forum rules, or are requested to be deleted by the original poster. Sometimes people post things and regret it later.

Merging and moving threads is standard operating procedure. No reason to have multiple threads on the same topic or in the wrong subforum. That gets confusing and is counterproductive. Quite often we get frantic and accusing messages about someone's thread being deleted when they were simply moved to the appropriate forum or merged to the appropriate thread.

Well kurt let's see how this applys....you also said

Our Mission - Forum Rules
We want to have a friendly website that helps people, fosters community, and aids local business. We want to be real, authentic, and nice. That has always been our mission. Mean people slinging mud doesn't fit that mission. Because of recent happenings, you can sum up our policy as, "be nice or leave".

See forum rules.

I hope that we can discuss local issues like tolls, tourism, budgets, taxes and the like with helpful dialog to help our citizens and foster community.

I am happy and thankful for all the advertisers we now have, and want a warm and inviting environment here for them and future advertisers. We will remain neutral and don't have any desire to be involved in politics on any level. Please expect any disrespectful or mean posts about locals, whether about a business person, a waiter, a poet, a priest, or a politician, to be deleted, and the author banned.​


I'm a local. I'm not mentally incompetent nor am I stupid. I just don't happen to agree with Becnel Reps. who work PR for Sandestin Investments LLC., the BCC and the charade being perpetrated against the taxpayers in Walton County in regard to funding the 331 bridge.

If you have rules in place, those rules should apply equally accross the board and not be selectively enforced depending on the "value" you place on an individual either because you personally know them or you "value" their opinion/support of a particular issue.

It is hard to follow threads that started out one place and are merged with something else. If you found that comment disrespectful and think it warrants my removal, I'm sure you will have no trouble doing so but you might want to go back and look at the mean and hateful comments in this thread from those you DO "value".

Have a nice day.

Misty,
I might, or might not agree with your opinions..........but I like the way you stand up for what you believe!
Your my hero today!:D
 
Misty,
I did go back through this thread and some of the comment were what I would consider not nice. I would like to use an analogy for what I believe I saw here. I've seen the word Nazi, Dawn the TDC directors name, stupid and ignorant and uppitiy. Now in football referee mode you were the one that the ref saw throw the last punch and was flagged for it.
Now for my rant. Idlewind asked a question that did not relate to the bridge but the tax, the post just before was by misty, in which you referenced the bridge and not Ms. Harris. As one of those Uppity folks who like the idea of the bridge but did not like the way it was handled and addressed, which I believed I addressed myself in a former post, I think I will address who I am. The moniker Bob Wells is my name, I know very few of the other folks personally on this board. Some may know me but I am a unique persson and to look at me you would see that. I felt that when I put MY BELIEFS out there it was important to me that I use my real name. That being said let me tell you who I am. I have been told to be nice by Kurt, sometimes I rant and rave on here. I am the middle class, I work as a Firefighter/ Paramedic, I own property here and pay taxes here. I commute the 331 bridge as does my wife, I have lived in walton County since 1994. I am politically active in my own way. SoWal has many political signs put up and easily I put up approx. 500 in a busy season. I also take them down unlike some. I have backed winners and losers. I go to Tallahassee to lobby, but attend very few BCC meetings. Not afraid to support someone everyone hates if I think they will do a better job. Supported Alex Sink and there is no way I will support Gov Scott. I believe the office deserves respect and attempt at every turn to apply titles to all our politicians whether I like them or not. I have been married 28 years in March have 3 great children, a Teacher, Firefighter and a Navy Service member, I have 1 awesome daughter in law, I lean middle conservative and vote in general elections for the person not the party, am registered Republican but that is subject to change depending on who is running. I like Walton County and when I retire I will be spending part of it here, the other part will be in Costa Rica, unless we have grandchildren and then my wife will be telling me where I will retire. Thanks for letting me rant, we don't have to agree but we can disagree without being disagreeable.

Sounds like you need to get in the Church on the pew!


What business is that of yours?

Bob Wells...the term "Nazi" was directed at a country and a government NOT a specific individual. The term "uppity" certainly applys when some folks make statements like the one above in my opinion.
 
Bob, thanks for the very interesting and informative view of one poster's life. I personally think it would be very useful to many posters if more were known of the backround of those posting. Once again, thank you for the insight.
