ORTian World View

It must be nice to have the ORTian view of the world. Everything Kmode, Owensby and Sellout does is great--regardless of its legality or lack of decorum. However, everything anyone else does is met by scorn. Heck, they would think a year in the brig for jaywalking would be appropriate.

Gravy stated that such a view must be from pretty little pills. Can such a black-and-white view come from good hallucinogens? Me thinks the problem is a lack of medication, specifically anti-psychotics.

And the term "world view" is probably better than Overland-view. Last night DannyInfector admitted he doesn't live in Overland. He/she and Pickles are your typical outside agitators. They come in, stir the pot and cause trouble. Their only solution is "bow down to the mayor" mixed in with a condescending attitude. Pickles has previously given us a "better than you" and "here to help the poor masses" attitude.

This revelation just begs the question: Does anyone inside the city of Overland support Purzner?

Shouldn't the question be exactly how much money is to be made in all of this that all of these outsiders are so hellbent to get in.

Brown money/revenge, Karam, Phelban, Branch, Tolen money.

Donna Dills possible job/money.

Monkey boy just plain hate.

Music just a silly confused person.

No one will convince me that the first 5 mentioned actually believe what she is doing is correct & within the law. Especially the first 4. Money & greed in my opinion is what's driving these people.

Suzyjax, most excellent question. You got to wonder. Wait there are 3 people who support Purzner RN that live in Overland, Owenswig, Knobe, and Sellout. Knobe has a wife? My deepest sympathies to the Mrs., can you imagine waking up to Knobe? CHIEF , CHIEF!!!!

DANNYIFECTOR-MONEKY, is a regular Don Juan....the Chicks Don Juan him.

Music could you be anymore of a twit. Your brains have got to be in your butt.

I certainly hope you told your mother to also quit cutting the grass (if she hasn't already)in the front of her house since Overland owns part of that too. Then call Ameren tell them to quit going around trimming the trees over the wires because they all belong to Overland. Then tell her to call Owensby back & remind him to tell PW to start cutting that grass in front before Monkey Boy gives your mother a ticket for grass over 8" high.

You can be so ridiculous sometimes.

OverlandSailor,

I give you credit for what you're trying to do.

The problem is these people are not going to change, mayor & council included. These people on the blog have hit them with every law, ordinance you name it for the past 4 months. They have been given them every chance to prove their case as to why the mayor is acting the way she is and they can't, don't or refuse to. They just keep coming back with more and more ridiculous thnigs, Overland Watch being a major one.
Then they just scream "Ann won."
And that no one is giving her a chance to do her job or put her plan in to place.

How many chances are the people suppose to give her & the other three. She apparently doesn't care what the law or judges say, she has shown that over and over again. And until the outsiders are out of the picture this is not going to change & that is not going to happen.

I don't mind turning the other cheek but no one likes getting the cr...p slapped out of them. Which is what they are doing.

Twolayer,

Believe me, I understand.

However, everyday someone new decides to start looking into what is going on here. And they likely do not go back 4 pages into the OverlandChat's forums or month back into this Blog's posting history.

So, when someone new, who is neutral on the whole thing, comes online today, they only see what has been happening recently.

And that is what they use to judge who is right and wrong.

These people had no interest in local politics before, and likely only voted on municipal issues when they happened to be up for a vote along with the President. However, more and more people like this are becoming frustrated with seeing our town on the news and looking foolish all the time.

When those people come online to learn more, they see what is happening today not what happened months ago.

If I was one of those people, I doubt I would see much difference between the sides when it comes to OverlandChat and the like. So, seeing both sides act badly, and attack personally instead of debating ideas, I would likes see them to both as bad as the other.

If they are both just as bad, then the "Ann Won" arguement would likely carry a bit more weight don't you think?

I do not post to change the minds of the politically devoted. I post to keep the real issues in front of all the lurkers out there who are trying to figure out what is going on and what is best for them and the town.

You get where I am coming from now? You have to understand, this is not my first rodeo (sorry Rodeo) :-)

Twolayer,
I agree with you 100%.

That "Ann Won" line is their only recourse when you hit them with facts.

We all have turned the other cheek, but like you said, nobody should just stand there and be beaten to death.

If people cast their votes due to what silly things people say on Blogs and Forums, we are in real trouble....LOL

Some people think you can sit down with the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah and negotiate peace and air your differences over tea and biscuits. I say to those foolish people go for it, but you would never come back to let us know how it turned out. Their mindset is to hate and eradicate all Infidels and Jewish people. This is an extreme analogy, however, when some people's minds are set in stone, it is near impossible to change their view.

OverlandSailor,

Your point is taken & appreciated.

And I read your members post about asking what someone meant first, I agree.

I tried that. And the one response I did receive was they didn't have to. I can only ask, if they choose not to explain, I take what they post as I see it. If they do not like what I say after that it is their own fault. I am only going to ask what they meant so many times.

On a different & more pathetic note. I couldn't even go to a funeral the other day in Des Peres without being asked about our mayor while sitting in the pew.

Please! That faux outrage by Spydog?! That's just the Piss Pot Pete side taking over. The all cap rant is right up the PPP alley. And it was not a vary lucid rant, at that.

If he was really outraged he would ban (band? ha!) DI/Hands immediately. But, he won't.

Did you notice that he used the word sh*t when blasting the board about profanity use. Not that it offended me--I probably have used the word at least twice today. I just find it quite ironic that he would use that word when pretending to lecture the board about x-rated words.
Maybe that is just an r-rated word.
Maybe he should ban himself.

Twolayer,

All we can do is ask. If people do not wish to explain where they were coming from then I agree, all you can do is chose to take it as you like.

My personal approach is to give people the benefit of the doubt until it is proven otherwise. This is not always the best approach, but it works for me (so far). :-)

When it comes to politics, I personally feel that insults should be ignored, baseless accusations should be challenged, and neither should be returned in kind. In my limited sphere of friends and family, the people that act in this way tend to be looked upon favorably, while those slinging the insults and baseless accusations tend to be ignored and distrusted.

That is not the case for everyone I am sure, but I bet it is the way the majority of folks approach such things.

OverlandSailor,

I am sorry but these people have been given the benefit of the doubt only to fail miserably. You can give them the benefit of the doubt from here to China, they will not change. And you better watch out because they will suck you in and spit you out. They have been playing this game far longer then I care to think about and are good at it. You can not give these people on inch.

Case in point the Overland Watch, I think everyone made it quite clear to them what they thought of this paper. Did that stop them no, when they found out people were not even picking them up to read, they go post it on the mayors' website.

And I must say I read your post on the members about what Inspector said and I am very disappointed that you would not like to see him ban.

When are you going to realize you are not dealing with normal people?

12:44 PM  
Blogger John Moyle said...

Folks, I get your point, I really do. If I was a betting man I would not put money on this group deciding to do anything by the book unless court ordered to do so.

However, my concern is with how many people are turned off of BOTH sides by all the attacks and name calling and the like.

Look at how many people in town have started to take an interest in city politics that never have before. They are interested because they are concerned about what will happen with/to Overland.

Now, if BOTH sides are slinging insults back and forth, not listening to a word the other says, and generally acting unprofessionally, those people who have not yet chosen a side will either say the heck with it or toss a coin.

However, I believe if one side is arrogant, not listening and tossing insults around, while the other side is ignoring insults, challenging accusations and generally acting professionally, there is a good chance those undecided people will choose to support the "nice" side.

I understand the frustration here, I am frequently annoyed at the attitudes and groundless accusations of Purzner and company myself. However, I am more concerned with presenting a professional image, in the hopes that some will see this and think that the side aligned against Purzner and crew is the better hope.

I prefer to let the insults and the like go, to hopefully gain an edge on the polls.

I would get far more satisfaction from seeing a possitive change on the City Council through the polls then I would ever get from that brief moment after getting them back with what they give.

I know not everyone understands this. All I can ask is that people try to consider how someone who knows nothing of the history would take all of the mudslinging.

OverlandSailor,

Ghost, got me thinking about all you have been saying and for the most part I agree, if it were another place & time, time zone, time warp, communtiy whatever. It will not work here and now.

I've been trying to figure out how to tell you exactly what you are dealing with and the best I can come up with is a cult leader.

The Mark Browns of this world feed off of people like Purzner & the like. I did not vote for Purzner because of her I didn't vote for her because I knew Brown was behind her. Brown is behind literally everything she does, that's what I don't think you understand. I don't think you get the gist of what this man is capable of. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He preys on the Inspectors, Musics and even Dills of this world. And what's worse is they are to blind and stupid to see what he is really all about.

I think somewhere you said you have only been in Overland for 8 years (correct me if I'm wrong) but there are people that have known these people for years & years. Benefit of the doubt, sorry denied. To much water under the bridge like it or not. These people have been this way since god was a baby & it doesn't matter how much you try they are not going to change.

You are beating a dead horse. And anyone with 1/2 a brain new to the blogs or not if they have lived in Overland long enough have already seen through Purzners antics & those that follow her, who are following Brown.

4:41 PM  
Blogger John Moyle said...

OK, first, when it comes to Mark Brown I know the tales, I have been here 8 years, my inlaws have been here alot longer.

I am not suggesting that people try to close the gap between themselves and the Mark Browns and Ann Purzners, that bridge was bured long ago.

What I suggest is that we focus on fact and actions, and leave them to the personal attacks and fictions.

We can call them on their political connections without insulting thier heritage.

We can call them on their actions without questioning their intelligence.

We can call them on their motivations, without insulting there children.

If we do this, if we focus on calling them on their false accusations and pointing out their ethically challenged dealings without joining them in trading personal barbs then we can maintain the moral high-ground.

As more and more people turn their attention to Overland Politics for the first time, I believe they will be more likely to side with us if we do not stoop to the level of ORTinian clan.

Music,

How do you think the councilman of ward 4 feels after what they did to him in the Overland Watch & now on the mayors' website.

4:14 AM  
Blogger John Moyle said...

Music,

I understand your concern, but there is a difference between personal / private information, and information that is considered in the public domain.

Business licenses, and the addresses provided as the place of business on the license application are in fact public information.

If You (as well as anyone else in your home) do not run a lawn care business (or any other business) out of your home then I suggest you look into why someone else if fraudulantly using your address.

This could be a serious problem. If someone is fraudulantly using your address they may be involved in criminal activity. Even if you are not involved you could get tangled up in a legal mess because they used your license.

I would suggest you look into the issue ASAP.

However, if someone besides you has a lawn care business and is using your home as the business address with your permission, then your information was put into the public domain the moment the business was authorized by the state and local governments.

Either way, the one really responsible for putting your "private" information in the public domain is the person or persons who registered that business.

Amusing Goat,
So I take it, somebody illegally used your address for their lawn care business? I would be more worried about that, then some psycho coming after you.

There was not a hate crime committed. Hate crimes are if you do somebody harm due to race,color, creed, or sexual oriantation etc. Posting what is already public information is not a hate crime. The crime here is that somebody used your address and identity for a business you say is not yours.

At the Council Meetings, people are asked for their addresses before they speak, this is televised and given out in front of the audience. I watched and have been at previous Council meetings, and this procedure was not implemented before (correct me if I'm wrong). So, if something happens to these speakers, should Ann be held responsible?

One more thing. At least those people in "the yellow shirts" are trying to do something about changing the situation. You have cut on them before.

I don't think there is anything wrong will showing examples of previous behavior to establish a pattern that someone is untrustworthy. Matter of fact, I recently did the same with SP on the OC site.

Music. If information is publically accessable to anyone who seeks it, it is considered to be in the public domain. If information is in the public domain, there is no legal issue with putting that information out in other areas of the public domain.

Here is an extreme example. let's say a private investigator is looking into the possibility that someone is cheating on their spouse. That investigator finds that the cheating spouse and their lover frequent a local motel.

While surveiling them he follows them to that motel and parks on a public street with a clear view of the office as well as the room entrances and windows.

The couple get a room and go inside and proceed to do what they went there to do without bothering to close the drapes.

The investigator is able to shoot video though that uncovered window, capturing the entire act.

What the investigator did was entirely legal. He was on a public street, shooting video of what could be seen from that spot. By conducting their activities in a way that was publically viewable, they effectively put those activities in the public domain.

A Business was registered at that address. That registration as well as the address it is registered at is information that is in the public domain.

The funny thing is, I imagine most readers would not have paid it much attention until YOU publicly confirmed that this was in fact your address.

If the business does not belong to you, or anyone else that legally resides there, then you need to contact the authorities to report this problem. It might not be intentional fraud. It might be that someone who lived there at one time had a business registered there and later moved away. They just never updated the information.

Music, one more thing. Those people wearing the yellow shirts are doing a public service by keeping people informed on when the Council meetings (special or otherwise are happening). This becomes more and more necessary as the Mayor keeps scheduling, then canceling, then last minute scheduling them again.

But that is not all they are doing. Thomas Jefferson said it best when he said:

"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories." - Thomas Jefferson

Those people in the Yellow shirts are proforming their duties as citizens, like the founding father's intended. They are working to try to make the city government comply with the various laws, statutes, codes and ordinances that the current Mayor and her supporting council people seem bent on at least ignoring, if not outright violating.

We should thank them for doing what everyone was expected to do.

Obsessive Compulsive Authoritarian.

Obsessions are defined by:

Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress.
The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems.
The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind.

Compulsions are defined by:

Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive.
In addition to these criteria, at some point during the course of the disorder, the sufferer must realize that his/her obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive. Moreover, the obsessions or compulsions must be time consuming (taking up more than one hour per day), cause distress, or cause impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (Quick Reference from DSM-IV-TR, 2000).

I have done it, my first official abuse of power. Just to see if I could I blew one of Amusing Goats comments into the ether. Gone- poof-

So let this be a warning to you. As I said a long time ago I wield power over this board that Ann Prisoner only wishes she could wield over the council. I don't want to read you and your commetns then poof be gone with you.

Hee hee abuse of power is fun. And unlike Spydog I am not afraid to use it.

John Doe,
I wouldn't call it an abuse of power.
Instead I would call it a justified use of power.
