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

[Ross]

Now I'm getting upset with myself, I'm not getting my work done. Just this last one for now.
The entertainment is getting to be too much for me.

Ross, you don't want facts, and when they are presented to you, you ignore them.  If you do acknowledge the presentation of a fact and it doesn't fit your closed-minded notion about something, you then deny the validity of the fact.  

Let's just change the words a bit, for fun.

Flint, you don't have facts, and they are presented, you ignore giving them when it pleases you.  If you do attempt the  presentation of a fact and it does  fit your closed-minded notion about something, you then post that fact.

This is all a carefully calculated tactic of harassment and derision from you, since you're goal is clearly to disturb, upset, and incite animosity amongst your fellow citizens.

Is that your sincere opinion?

You really feel that trying to engage (your Elk Konnected uses this term) the taxpayers in taxing decisions is stirring the pot?

Didn't you read where the school board wrote about the wounds with on Elk County?

Don't you and they realize where they come from?

It is not from me? Why blame me, is that a way of avoiding responsibility?

Oh yea, I make a good whipping boy, bring it on.
Dump your responsibilities one me.
I can handle it.
You just don't want the taxpayers to consider their options and what most likely be thrown at then with some pity and crying to increase property taxes, to build a Taj Mahal for Howard, do you?

Bye-=Bye for now. All you other folks out there keep thinking for yourself while I take my flogging.

[Mom70x7]

I have to make this short, I have been putting off my personal work for too long this morning.

Flint, Diane and Mr. Durbin keep typing, you Konnected Followers make for good entertainment.

Your excuses for not answering honest questions and your methods of evasion are fun to read.

You refuse to provide facts with excuses, that is commendable.

And you call others mainly me a liar, how tactless, how rude, how uncouth!

That must be that higher edumacation at work.

Show the lie, show the fact, not the fiction made up in those Konnected Followers heads.

Please the facts!

And the question was never answered, have the school children been being housed in an unsafe school building?
If so why have the been having tornado drills in an unsafe school building?

I'm out of here, I've got work to accomplish.

A fact from you, please. Where do you get "the school is built for 600 students" from?

[Ross]

Ross, you're an idiot.  Unfortunately for the rest of us, you are an idiot that has an uncanny ability to lie, repeatedly, and make some people believe you.  But the vast majority see through your methods of lying by omission, minimisation, fabrication, exaggeration, and just outright bullshit.

Here is a question for you.  Why are you trying so hard to stir up animosity between Moline and Howard?  Or Longton and Howard, or Grenola and Howard.  Huh?  Why?  What purpose does it serve to you or anyone else?  And don't try and tell us that is not your intention.

Thanks for bringing your question over here?

Perhaps you can see how easily manipulated people can be, especially by those that feel they are the elite.

My sincerest apologies for that!


But wasn't that what you were trying to do by asking on a different thread. Trying to manipulate me, nice try. I applaud your efforts.

First and foremost, I never said it was a fact.

I stated in an earlier post on this thread I was informed that it was built to house 600 students by someone who did not want their name disclosed.

I'm sorry you missed that post.

You don't see the school superintendent disputing this and providing facts to the contrary, do you?

You don't see the school board disputing this and providing facts to the contrary do you?

I was also told it was downsized quite a bit from the old high school. Is that right?

Thanks for asking.

Now my break is over and I must return to another hour of sweating outside and to my labor. Bye-Bye for now.

[Diane Amberg]

 Ross is now playing the victim. 
His sentence about the school board made no sense at all.
His needle is still stuck, even though school is out and everyone is doing summer things.
Your elections are long over, the officers and boards are busy doing what they do, and still  have to listen to ALL tax payers ,not just certain ones.( Some kids have even graduated and moved on since Ross started this thread.)
He truly thinks the people there aren't smart enough to think for themselves, and need him to explain what's REALLY going on.... Over and over and over and over again..and he can't read, as he himself says! ( "an uneducated hick".) I would rather hear from a much more educated person with good comprehension, if I wanted to learn about something important and without prejudice As one person out there recently said,"It's really pitiful."
            Now tornado shelters are something else. Apparently the folks out your way either have them or don't. All my family did. That's a risk some are willing to take.
As far as all the schools, in my opinion, each one should have a safe place for those who are there every day. Communities can make up their own minds about community shelters.
 Studies are saying that super storms are going to become more common, with the season starting earlier,lasting longer and with more EF4's and 5's. I do hope that will change.
Personally, I'd never live in a mobile home out there without a tornado shelter very close by. They seem to have "come get me" signs on them that tornadoes seem to be able to read!
On to other things. I hadn't stopped by here. until recently, for some time. Nothing changes.  

[redcliffsw]

You're right - nothing changes.

You still have the same ole socialist thinking.

[Ross]

I had to do one more before I end my break and return to my hard work induced sweating. Oops that ain't stirring the pot is it. Ain't everyone gonna run out and start sweating are ya? LOL

Ross, as long as you are on the hook....Do you still pretend not to know where I am? There isn't enough money in the world to get me to move to New Jersey!  Are you pretending to be thick headed or what's the story with you?

No, Diane I am not pretending not to know where you live. I was hoping you would remember where you live. You don't live here, you don't vote here, you don't pay taxes here. Neither do any of the people in New Jersey or any other city of state out side of Elk County. We are aware of your long distant relationship with Elk Konnected and I wonder if that is why you are so concerned how our tax dollars are spent. Is this an Elk Konnected thing for you? Otherwise what would your concern be with our local taxation?

Daisy already told you how and why she knows about the goings on at the school. Are you deliberately being obtuse?  One would think you were fomenting trouble among the little towns to stir up trouble... except so few read your posts any more they won't know what you are doing.

So you say, so few read my post, my oh my. Look at the numbers at the top of any page, what does that tell you. Do the math, teacher. But even if only five people read the post, that is five that had no idea what is going on isn't it? That would also possibly be five people discussing what they think with their friends and family right?

Are you one of those old folks the school board says doesn't understand the importance of technology?

And now you have got the placement of a school sign stuck in your craw? Good grief man,how petty is that?

So does that make it petty theft? That's a joke, get it?
Those signs belong to West Elk not to Howard, so really if you say it is petty, you have to say that Howard is petty as well?

What post office is the school associated with?  If Howard isn't the closest local town, what is?

The zip code or the closest town has absolutely nothing at all to do with it. The property lines on the other hand have everything to do with it.

If Howard has any couth at all they would be ashamed of them selves and place the signs properly within the West Elk School property lines and not accept you petty excuses. Place the glory at the school where it belongs. Why steal it from the school? Do the signs make Howard more important in some way? So it really is petty of them.

Just like Elk Konnected, LLC on their Facebook claiming to have Graduated from Howard West Elk. How stupid can they be? No LLC has ever graduated fro High School. Have you ever had an LLC enroll at any school you ever taught, did the company's  desk walk in and sit at another desk? Well I know it could not have happened in Elk County, Kansas because there is no Howard West Elk School here. So I guess you are saying the Elk Konnected is being petty as well right?

If it bothers you so much, have the kids paint some more signs and put them in front of the school too! Stir that pot, CCTP! Don't you have enough to keep an old retired guy busy?

So you admit the West Elk School should have the signs, only the kids should have a stick and board with hand written words instead of the state signs? How gracious of you form way up there? Where are you from? What cloud?

Did the kids paint those signs that Howard took and had placed at their City limits?

What the hell is your problem?

I politely asked you and your Elk Konnected Followers for a meaning of CCTP, why no reply?

Is it something you are ashamed of?

Why do you care how I spend my time?

Oh I get it, your Elk Konnected friends have you worrying for them, right?

Well it is a waste of time, very few people read my post, remember you said that. Right up there at the top of this post, I quoted you. So stop worrying, okay. It could cause an ulcer and we want you healthy.

[Diane Amberg]

I see you are still putting all sorts of words in my mouth again. If I hadn't just gotten a PM on my other e-mail I wouldn't even have known to come back and look. As far as what business it is of mine...you'd be surprised. As I have said before,I do support a number of things out there and still have friends and family there too, and unlike taxes, I don't have to do it..it's my choice and pleasure to do so. 
You do know what a silent partner is don't ya? You just don't know that you don't know.
What is with your thing about New Jersey anyway? 

[flintauqua]

You don't live here, you don't vote here, you don't pay taxes here. Neither do any of the people in New Jersey or any other city of state out side of Elk County.

Ross, just because someone does not live in Elk County, does not mean they don't pay taxes to Elk County.  Just because someone doesn't live in West Elk School District, does not mean they don't pay taxes to the district.  It doesn't matter if they live in Elk County Kansas, or Elk County Pennsylvania.  If you own property, either singularly or in partnership with someone else, within the boundaries of Elk County, you pay property taxes to Elk County.  If you own land within West Elk USD 282, you pay property taxes to West Elk USD 282, though only the taxes due on property within Elk County is COLLECTED by the Elk County Treasurer on behalf of USD 282.  If you live in Chautauqua County, but within West Elk USD 282, the Chautauqua County Treasurer collects the taxes due to West Elk.  Same thing in Greenwood County.

You are exactly correct, I haven't lived in Elk County for years but have paid property tax there.

I apologize for saying this, but you are a walking, talking JOKE!

Silent partner really, ha, ha!

Don't you mean a sneaky rat?

As in someone to cowardly to speak for themselves?

It doesn't really matter if it is New Jersey, New York, California or Florida!

Don't you comprehend!

It ain't Elk County, Kansas!

Is that clear enough for you to comprehend?
