Believe me, I am not defending Liz.  It was just an example of one of the first posts that I saw on here the first time I read the site.  It was something that turned me off to it is all I am saying.  I don't know the circumstances of why it was said or who was saying it.  That wasn't important at the time.  The fact that it was being said made me think twice about joining in. 

I am very thankful to Bill W for making this site possible and I hope to meet him someday.  I am pretty sure we have not crossed paths before although I find it hard to believe that we haven't at one point or another.  I know a few people on here personally but not Bill. 

I too was born and raised here in town and I agree that people (including myself) are very angry about the state of the town due to just a few idiots.  I hope that change will happen in April but fear that many citizens will vote as I used to.  That would be the "well they have been serving all along so why change anything?" method of voting.  I hope there is another way other than this site to keep getting the word out to those who just don't know or care all that much as I used to be.

You sound like a nice person who needs a review of the damage inflicted on Wareham. History doesn't lie. 

Is there anybody who could compile a list (long) of all the BAD things that have happened in Wareham over the past seven or so years - since BS rose to POWER? and a list of the GOOD things that have occerred during the same time frame? I'll start with the BAD:

1. Giving  TWO MILLION to K&P to help them attack its own employees, volunteers, citizens and taxpayers.

Just one more shot at BS name-calling.  One of the Swifts Beach grandmothers relayed this to me:  When Bruce and Rose had their Pizza business the little kids called him  "The Pizza Nazi".  Over nothing, he would go into a rage using all and more nasty words than we see on this site. The kids just wanted a piece of pizza. What they got was a barrage of very bad words. - a fine example of refinement he was...

Nah, I know the damage...

I had no real interest in politics until about 4 or 5 years ago when I realized what was going on.   I thought town meeting was "cool" before that.  Now I see it for what they have made it.  A means to their end which if at all possible, I try to attend regularly to defeat what I personally think might be stupid that time around.   Before abuot 5 years ago I also thought that if a BOS member was up for re-election, that was fine with me.  I didn't know anything about them and couldn't have cared less.  I was usually just there to vote on the Articles and anything about people doing jobs was extra.  I just hope that enough people AREN'T like I was this time around.  We need knowledgeable voters out there.

Yeah, sounds like me six months ago

I've often been told by many of you in person that what we hear is not hate but anger. An anger that has come from seeing the Town go in a different direction...well my friends the folks on the other side of the story have the same anger.and if we are to come together and unite then we have a shot at building Wareham back to the stature that it deserves. The continuous fighting will only keep us down...and allow some folks wishing for failure to succeed.

They may not bring a fancy dish to the first house party but as they become comfortable and make friends not only will they bring dessert but they may actually host their own house party.

I say let them in, this house is big enough for all of us. Just my opinion.

Steve

You sound like a nice person and new to Wareham politics, searay, but...arguing, reasoning, and debating with with IGNORANCE is futile... the old story...can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

You would be wasting your time trying to make "nice reasonable people" out of a bunch of ignorant lying cheating criminals (a.. h...s). There are many good people standing ready to step up to Take Wareham Back! NOW!

#1 ~ Steve, are you new to Wareham politics?   Hmmm.

You are probably more correct about "debating with ignorance is futile"  but it isn't always a hinderance.  Whenever Slager starts on something he has read on this site, he puffs it up and drags it everywhere.   People read his blogs/rag and think we are hatebloggers.  Now, these people tell their friends.  Every day this talk is making people wonder how bad we really are so maybe one or two will decide to see for themselves.  After a few days, they are reading here more and more and start to see where the truth really lies.  It may take awhile for them to write something, but they will and in turn they will tell Slager's followers how wrong they are.......and the beat goes on.

The Pizza Nazi! Ha, that sounds about right.  "No pizza for you!"

Wow I hadn't realized it but time does move by fast.  Somewhere out there, the boy that had pizza fork prong marks in his hand is now a man with pizza fork prong marks in his hand. 

Wherever you are, we salute you and hope that the pizza fork prong marks have healed.

So does Bobo ever keep track of his bullshit?  He says this site is all Take Back Wareham and Take Back Wareham is evil, now he says there are evil people fighting Take Back Wareham and blah blah blah stick a bagel in your fat face Bobo no one gives a shit.

We may have a debate where we don't all agree on something but Bobo, everyone here is in 100 percent agreement that you are a collossal flaming douche.

What I find odd is how Slag---oops, Beammeup has been quiet since his reinstatement. You would think a class act like that would go back to the posts he made and answer the replies.

I'm being a good listener. It looks like you (Larry) want to pick a fight with me. Thanks for welcoming me.

His latest opinion column( I never call anything news in his yellow sheet) claims that the TBW "crowd" is confused and angry at each other, lashing out against those who won't allow the opportunity of tin foil people expressing themselves on this site.
I don't often read the troll's words, as Molly would say, stay away from heartburn.
But, apparently he thinks that his banning under the name of beammeup has caused friction and dissent among "our" ranks.
Misguided, ignorant, completely oblivious of the facts, easily duped into bad decisions and getting sucked in by us is not apparent to him.
There is no discontent on this site. Bill W and Commonsense, et.al., know how to play the game and they are better at it than the troll.
Peace and harmony reigns supreme on this site. Unwelcome visitors are exactly that, and when their welcome is really worn out, they are not allowed to post.
What's the problem?
We have fun with them like a cat with a mouse until someone in administration of this site has had enough and pulls the plug.
So what?
If we were stupid, we'd run out and set up new sites like the "other side" did at Town Meeting.
That was effective, wasn't it...and by the way, where have all of the sites gone?
We, as posters, also know we are simply guests of Bill W, et.al.
If we are not welcome into Bill's home, we won't be invited.
"Oh, Lord...what can we do now that we are banned from Bill's site?"
How about getting a life and a job and a place to move where everyone knows your name?
No moles, trolls or snakes.

Actually, why don't you tell me about it. You made the statement that I was fairly educated, so enlighten me as to what you were referring to. You also commented on how I threw my hat in with "money", and I explained that. Why don't you go back and read what was said? You remind me of another person that has the same philosophy of making statements and then asking others to re-read because they are either too lazy or forgot what they said.

I will give you credit, by saying you no nothing about my education, you immediately discounted your initial comments that I was fairly educated. Are you now contradicting yourself or do you just make statements without having any facts?

Dan, see the thread on Civil War :) It's quite good!

As I said earlier--  I'm waiting for my Christmas miracle-- a world without the rag.

To all my friends on this blog-- please help me get my wish-- don't read it, don't comment on it, don't use it to line your bird cages, just, please, don't do it.

I know I don't have to review all the things he's said that aren't true from the computer audit crap, to the Mary Jane/library embezzlement crap, to the latest civil war crap. I don't read his garbage, but I know about all the crap because I read about it on this blog. That tells me that some of us here can't quite kick the habit. It is what he lives for. He lives for a new posting here so he can run back to report to the tin foil hats.  Why give him what he wants? In my opinion, he has been very naughty and does not deserve to get any presents from us--namely--content for his rag.

All I want for Christmas is a town without acrimony and hate (which does not originate from this site). I want a town that is like the town I used to live in. I can't seem to find the real Wareham anymore.  I would really, really, really like to start the new year on a positive note. Can we all work together to make Wareham a better place? To do so, we must start with a total ban on the rag by bloggers on this site. There is plenty to write about each week since our bos keep us hopping. So what do you say? Can we give it a try?

Merry Christmas everyone.

By the way, I am not Slager, BoBo, or whatever you want to call him. I think I have a lot in common with the folks on this site.

bm up,  I found it interesting that your desire was to somewhat attack (my word) me so I'd like to hear, IYO, all that you have in common with the "folks on this site".  So far I don't see any commonality.  While you note that you are not Bobo, you sure do posture like him and even use his same wording.

And while you're sharing, please elaborate on your description of me being a "tool".  A tool for who and what ? A Better Wareham ?  If so, you're right!

Lastly, do you participate in Bobo's Sunday night chat ?  If so, maybe you can be a "tool".  I read Mr. J Donahue's suggestion that someone needs to reach across the "divide"; the one he has helped to create.  If he "truly" believes that, then he should be the one to initiate the reach.  I don't think he has it in him so maybe you can be his "tool" to bridge the gap. 

For the record,  the real division is that anyone with anything to offer (volunteer) has been subject to humiliation and embarrassment if one
does not "do as I say, not as I do".  At least that's the proven experience.
And if one doesn't live up to the "standard" for pressing forward their specific agendas (CRC -Mayoral, CEDA, nitrogen, Westfield, civil service, library, etc.)
then NO appointment for you.

Prove me wrong.

beammeup.."I'm doing the best I can Captain!!!"

We did not interact on your last "go round"...I'm glad you've "come back" after all the discussion we had about "banning"...I believe the comments you made in general, and more directly towards LM and BB were "out of line"..and as "stand up" guys they have a right to question the comments/assertions you made of them..No "attacking", just a desire for you to explain yourself for those comments..and an assumption that you may be Bobo (based on your phrasing)..I, personally think that may come from ingesting too much "rag" in your diet..

Are you he??? Well, I don't know. Bob and Larry don't have the anonymity you and I (to a degree) have..and taking undeserved shots at their character/motives is common practice for the "tin foil hat brigade"..I know and respect them both..

I hope your not Bobo, and I hope you add some original thoughts to "our" forum..
For now..Welcome. I hope it goes better.

I would truly welcome an opportunity for our Town Moderator to come aboard and open a dialogue. The mistake made by others is to come in with an attitude of arrogance and sling insults. It's much simpler to say, "Hi, this is (insert your name here). I am here to discuss the issues and share my thoughts". I agree with Bob, I don't think John Donahue will reach across the gap, but he will certainly suggest it!

I didn't mean "tool" to mean someone used by another. I meant the "tool" used as slang for part of the male anatomy. With any luck I won't get in trouble for it.

So I'm a "tool" because you interpret my telling MG not to ever flip me off again as bullying her.  And you have come to her defense because why ?
Maybe her actions are and would be acceptable to you ?  Or is it the man vs. woman thing ?

If defending MG for her despicable actions is what got you off the couch, you can go back and lay down now but thanks for the constructive criticism and for defining "tool" for us all.  I guess calling some a "tool" is better than flipping someone off.

Happy Holidays,
Dick...I mean Bob

we alll make mistakes. jmo

"Tool", "Stay on subject", "is that the best you can do?", "what about fair discussions and civility", etc., etc., etc.
Common had a good question....why is this asshole still on here?

I am sorry already....anyone want to talk about national politics?

I guess you are upset because I sent money to him and not you. I'll consider it.

Larry, I have been reading your postings and letters for some time now. You seem to be fairly well educated and intelligent. It is apparent you know which side of the bread the butter is located. You have made the judgement that your living standard will be best served by befriending those people in town who have "money power" and know how to use it.

The "predictions" strawman is nonsense. It is an old debate (fighting) tactic.

Larry McDonald wrote:

Please don't think you know me. I've read several posts on another site that shows that the lack of knowledge is a common thread. The only judgement I've made is that we have substandard management and leadership in this town. EVERYONE in this town would benefit from thoughtful and inteliigent leadership and that is where I am throwing my support. Unless your education level is up to snuff, don't ever use the word "fairly educated" with me again. That is a backhanded slap by a less than educated person with a "fair" amount of jealousy.

Unless you have the courage to sit down and talk with me, stop thinking you know me. Next you will be telling me that I'm a hitman from Tennessee hired by developers???????

I have the statements by bobo the fabricator that are way off the mark. Not a tactic, it's a fact.
Also, I have another prediction that Bobo made waiting to show again how off the mark he is.

Going forward, I will ignore you unless you can come up with facts instead of nonsense.

Since you were too lazy to go back, here are just a few of your opening remarks and still waiting for responses.

I will keep searching the blogs for your education since you said it was here somewhere. I haven't found it yet. I shouldn't have said "fairly" since I was trying to complement you and that word got in the way of my intent.

I almost moved to Tennessee myself. I wonder why you moved here.

Anything else you want me to comment on?

Good catch...I did indeed mean compliment.

I caught that too PSpan. I'm done here. Nothing to see and my apologies to Commonsense. I was wrong, this person is just here to stir.

I have officially put Slag....errr Beammeup in the same pile I put Ms Petinuia. It's called the ignore list. I just don't see any effort to communicate with this "person" as productive.

I do think we should talk about fixing the town. First we have to identify things that need fixing. I'll start: East Wareham's portion of Cranberry Highway needs fixing and we're running out of time to get stimulous money.

In an effort to actually have ANY meaningful "discussions"..I wanted to address this topic you raised. It's not something I've heard too much about, and I have no details as to timelines/deadlines on stimilus $$$..(I didn't know the "roads" there were an issue)..So, if you (or anyone) has any more information on the topic, please add it..

Overall, your "desire" to "identify things that need fixing" is (IMO) pretty much what we try and do here. I believe it starts with changing the "leadership"..and I'm guessing you don't agree. For me I believe the "relationship" with them is irreconcilable. Let me ask you. Do you support the current "leaders" of Wareham?

TAKEBACKWAREHAM

P-SPAN: I don't have any specific information about stimulus (we all misspell sometimes), but I see road projects being done all over the state. Some of them are a lot less needed than many of our roads. If it is the town at fault then shame on them. I suspect it is a state legislature influence (of which we seem to have none) issue. Leadership is only part of the problem. In order to fix problems we have to identify them. The list would be very long if we put our heads together. It shouldn't even be that controversial. Just a list of roads that need work would be extensive.

"Answer: It does go against my instincts to leave dead people alone. It does make Slager look bad."
HUH?
Common...WTF?

BMU
ask the people you elected at the local level if they even thought to push for the Cranberry hwy. project to be put on fast track with sitmulus money that is what was needed. the ones you see moving forward are the ones the local gov. pushed for the local that had ther act together. Think about it.

Steve
I know you will disagree with me but the health care bill is held up by one man named Nelson who does not what any woman to have free will, even though God gave us free will. He wants to make the choice for us. I am against Abortion but I am not against free choice. You make the decision. If you are Christian Muslim, or Jewish in faith we all believe in the god of Abraham an he gave us free will. I know I a Buddhist but Jesus  is my Buddha.
now let the descussion begin. Beammeup now that is a national topic. And religion is a big part of it even though we have seperation of church an state.

I support the health care insurance reform initiative. It looks like the senate is making a mess of it though. The only truly efficient way to provide insurance is by including everyone and then guarding against fraud and abuse.

again ask your local gov. why they did not push for it. Freetown did and they are getting there off ramp. That was local people pushing for it not there state and fed reps. The Slectman must be involved in all aspests of what is going on in wareham. If you really want it for your town you have to work for it even if you are not paid for the job it is what you ran for. wake up Wareham voters.  7 you get what you voted for think about it before you vote.

Steve
Abortion is a hard disision for anyone. but if you look at the stats most are made because of the economics. I don't agree but I am not the one making the dicision thank God. I have had two family members in the positon of that same disision they happly made the choise of life but I would have stood by them if they made the disision to go the other way. It was for them to make and not for me to judge. The gov needs to push this helth care bill forward. JMO.

I can make a prediction here. You keep talking about National issues and Bill W will pull a "nutty".
Everyone knows he does not tolerate issues discussed that will drive some people over the edge.
There won't be any discussions about the existence of God, Barack Obama's term in office, Republicans vs. Democrats, gay issues, abortion, health care, etc.
The two wars, anything to do with past Administrations and their competence or lack of it.
Why?
Because Bill is smart enough to know it will open Pandora's Box and he knows that everyone should be concentrating on the issues that affect Wareham.
In order to solve the World problems, we need to start on the local level, and stay focused on the local level.
This is a non-partisan election in Town. Leave it that way, or risk the alienation of the over 60% of your registered voters that are not party affiliated.
As the other side says, "stay on track."
If not...one never knows how Bill will react.
While we are at it, Bill...get rid of that "tool" beammeup.
Just my opinion, of course.
