I totally agree Steve. In fact, in one of my previous postings I suggested just that and mentioned that speaking with the owners had worked with Ella's and Sippican--both have great food and selfishly, I didn't want to boycott the places. That would absolutely be an action of last recourse--if nothing else worked.

So you are right that it can work. If you don't feel comfortable speaking with owners, write and mail letters. The list of rag advertisers is on the other thread and while that would cost a little bit of money, it also will help.

What I got from ragboy's "vacation" was that he wasn't changing his stories every few minutes or you all would have been posting. And really, life was so much better without the rag. It's time to take Wareham back and that means without the rag.

SO THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS TO GET RID OF THE RAG. You are doing a good thing.

And Steve, your logic and care of the business owners etc. is right on. We need you sitting on the other side of the table at the bos meetings. Please consider it. I know you would have plenty of support.

I WILL BE OUT THERE THIS MORNING MAKING MY ROUNDS

I stopped in the Village Market tonight to get some milk, and noticed that all the papers now have new signs, there is no sign for the Observer. I asked where the Observer sign was and he said no more Observer in this store.

Cheers to you Molly!!

Pardon my french, but this guy is a real piece of shit.  Look at this message this lowlife scumbucket just put on his website about the Onset Villiage Market:

"FIGHT THE BOYCOTT!

The Onset Village Market has caved to the pressure of the power elite and will no longer sell the Observer. If you are a supporter of this paper, please feel free to express your feelings to the owners. Tell them free speech matters in this country. Then by all means feel free to do your shopping somewhere else. Enough is enough."

I ommitted the phone number, but Bobo put it up I assume to encourage people to call and threaten the business.  Shameful

That's what that ridiculous human being just put on his website.  So let me get this straight, this business supports Bobo for years, puts his paper out for years, does everything to help the guy...and then in light of Bobo's recent shitty behavior, they pull out.

AND ALL THOSE YEARS OF HELPING THE GUY MEAN NOTHING TO HIM?  "Feel free to do your shopping elsewhere?" 

A supporter of your paper helps you for years, and you have one disagreement, and you just throw them under the bus?  You encourage a boycott of a business because they don't want to put out your trash rag, but all the help they gave to you for years means nothign to you.

What a pathetic pantload.

I say, everyone do all the shopping you can there from now on. 

And let that be a lesson to any other advertiser.  It doesn't matter how many years you've put in helping this ingrate, the second you have a disagreement with him, he encourages a boycott of your business and puts your phone number up on his site, encouraging all the nutjobs in town to call your business and harrass you.  That's your reward for helping this scumbag for years.

What a piece of shit.

Is that really what you've become now Bobo?  Really?  You've sunk so low that you have to keep distributors by threatening them?  "Keep putting out my trash rag" or else I'll trash your business in my paper?

Pathetic. What a loser.

I think that's the message he's trying to send to his distributors.  "Stop selling my paper, and I'll trash you."

I just wish people like Bobo would realize that ideas that have to be enforced with crap like that aren't ideas that are worth anything.

All the help that store gave him for years...they put it out when it was free for years, they sold it for a year and probably made him a little money...all that and just, bam?  No let's sit down and talk about it.  No I'm sorry we couldn't agree, but I value the help you gave me in the past, and I hope you'll come back in the future...just WAM! Right on the website with the hateful rant.

What a lowlife.

The owners of the Village Market are fairly new in town, and they are trying very hard to meet the needs of their new community.  I hope they are not caught in the middle of a nasty fight.  Please support their efforts.

These gentlemen have faced alot more tough issues since buying the business, especially from the Town. Dealing with this issue is very small potatoes to them.

All recent stories he continue to tie himself to the Board & ITA, the BOS and Observer, the Observer with the ITA & BOS, etc......well if a business owner has some serious issues with the BOS then Slager is found guilty by association. He should have learned already you can't have it both ways.

Support the new owners of the Onset Market, they have done nothing to harm anyone. Look at this realistically, they were selling a paper that came out on Thursday for I think 75 cents. By the time the first person bought on most all of the stories had changed in the on-line version anyway, so why buy the paper?

If I don't have a computer you are getting yesterday's news.

At least with tht Standard Times and the Courrier, you can buy the paper read it then check on line for updates and breaking news at no additional cost. Seems like a good fiscal decision for their customers as well.

If he would just put out a newspaper that talked about the "news" without all the hate. He may have a shot at survival in this town. And he thinks this site is hateful, we have all seen the comments from his viewers, if that's friendly stuff, then somefolks on this site must be glorious with their comments.

this was sent to me.. it has been said it is not true more like an urban legend..just a STORY for entertainment..



How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September,
2001... Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield, California
On September 11th,
A Budweiser employee was making a delivery
to a convenience store in a California town named McFarland..
He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business
to find the two Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support of this treacherous attack.
The Budweiser employee went to his truck,
called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event!
He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him,
'Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item
our beverage company sells there?
We'll never deliver to them again.'

The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his
beverage  company provided and left
with an incredible grin on his face.
He told them never to bother to call for
a delivery again. 
Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice
for that community.
Just letting you know how Kern County
handled this situation. And Now

The Rest Of The Story:
it seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man
are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him.
Pepsi called his boss who told him to
pull all Pepsi products as well!!!
That would include Frito Lay, etc.

Furthermore, word spread and
all vendors followed suit! At last report, on June 26, 2009,
Fareed Katib closed the store and filed bankruptcy!

Good old American
Passive-Aggressive A$$ Whoopin!
Pass this along, America needs to know
that we're all working together!
If you can read this.
Thank a teacher...
If you are reading it in English....
THANK A SOLDIER!!!
