Who is Tom Field?

I don't know who Tom Field really is, but I think it is time Bob and I find out Tom's real identity.

If Tom Field has any association to Bob Bisno, his companies, or groups supporting Ponte Vista at San Pedro, Bob Bisno needs to know that.

Tom Field made a promise to be in a private Email that he would introduce himself at the last CAC meeting. The last CAC meeting was held and nobody identified himself to be as being "Tom Field". I expected that whoever Tom Field really is, he or she would not actually do what he or she promised to do. Something like that was expected of that person, so I wasn't surprised a bit.

Since the last CAC meeting, several people have asked me if "Tom" had introduced himself or herself to me at the meeting. No one was surprised that "Tom" didn't do what he promised.

So I waited for about a week, and still no identification came forth.

I have decided that I am going to use this particular blog to make suggestions as to the real identity of "Tom Field".

I am going to use this blog to keep any information I learn viewable to the least number of viewers. My purpose in suggesting names it to try and enlist help in attempting to find other individuals who may see the names I post and create opinions of their own, as to who they feel really is Tom Field.

The way I am probably going to suggest possible identities is to list a name of a person who MAY be "Tom Field" and use objective and factual information to identify why each person may be thought of as POSSIBLY being "Tom Field".

I must use facts and be as objective as possible to keep from having my suggestions thought of as being libelous or slanderous. As I am being objective and stating only facts, I cannot be considered to have any civil action taken against me.

I will also limit comments being posted as to this issue. If I receive filthy comments or threatening comments, I will surely post them to defend my position.

If I name names and provide objective and factual information about individuals who turn out NOT to be "Tom Field" but consider themselves harmed in any way, it is NOT my fault. The fault will rest squarely on the limp shoulders of "Tom Field". He or she is willing to use their friends and acquaintances in order to keep their true identity secret, and if "Tom's" friends get suggested, then "Tom" is the only one to blame.

Now, I do believe that "Tom" is connected in some way with Ponte Vista at San Pedro. I feel that ignorance of his or her identity by everyone at BDC was a disservice to them and Bob Bisno needs to know the identity, too. Bob may be liable for some of "Tom's" writings.

I also believe that "Tom" may have been somewhat a victim of Bob's. There were quite a number of folks who have been sold a bill of goods by Bob and there are many of Bob's supporters who were not and are not pleased with Bob's actions and his complete denial of any sort of discussions for real compromises at Ponte Vista.

There are individuals who I have not identified in any post on this or any other blog that I may name as possibly being "Tom Field". If I do mention names you have not read in the past, I will objectively and factually identify them as best as possible. There are several individuals who I know for a fact are NOT "Tom Field" and I will probably mention those names, too.

I am also going to wait a bit to begin suggesting names. I would like to give "Tom" a chance to come forward so as to not put any of his or her friends on the spot by suggesting they may be "Tom" when the real "Tom" knows they are not. I want to give "Tom" a chance to keep folks he knows out of the spotlight, if he does not wish to have their names mentioned.

I will also suggest names of individuals who MAY be the creator of the fake R1 blog and Foul Mouth fellow, if I feel they are different people from "Tom".

Other than attempting to identify who "Tom Field" really is, I have no wish to go beyond that issue. I am more that happy to not deal with "Tom" on my main blog, now and in the future, unless "Tom" gets nasty. I would like finding out who "Tom" really is to go smoothly, quietly, and with the least amount of trouble being created for those folks who are not really "Tom".

It is time to move on and there are many more important issues to deal with, but I do believe, after reading what I have read for these last many months, "Tom" should buck up and provide the information he promised at the beginning of the year.

Mr. Richards,

In one of your blog's you indicated you attended the Tri Art Festival and said Ponte Vista was a major sponsor of the event.

You were told to “be nice” by an unnamed individual who knows you and knows a great deal about Ponte Vista.

Why did the individual tell you to be nice?
Does the individual work for Mr. Bisno?
Could this individual be Mr. Tom Field?

Thanks anonymous 9:39 PM,

The person who asked me to "be nice" was most definitely NOT "Tom".

He asked me to "be nice" when I wrote about the Tri Art(s) Festival because I am usually fairly tough on things that have anything to do with Bob or his sponsorship. Thankfully the Bisno folks didn't spout their stuff at the Festival.

"Tom" has not found the courage to do what he promised to do when the CAC meetings ended and identify himself to me.

I also do not truly believe that "Tom" really knows so much about all the issues surrounding Ponte Vista, and he certainly claims a bias that doesn't seem to allow him to even alter his proposal to be anywhere near within a reasonable range.

I actually think the Tri Art(s) Festival could be made better the next time by having it on either the third or fourth weekend of the month, and also include more galleries and even Angel's Gate Cultural Center.

This was Joe Caccavalla's first Festival and I think it should continue on. Joe is a Bisno supporter and the dad of Mike. Both of them show great interest in OUR community even though they are "immigrants" from the East Coast. Joe and I differ on the plans for Ponte Vista and Mike tries to stay way clear of the fray.

I have a friend who is 99% sure who the "real" "Tom" is, but I disagree with him.

I will wait a bit longer before I decide to write my ideas on who the real "Tom" MIGHT BE. Let's see if "Tom" sacks up and comes forward.

I was hoping to hear from an individual who may be more in the know, but apparently he hasn't viewed this post.

I would like to know who you are anonymous 2:53 PM by having you send me an Email so we can share ideas.

On my main blog I am currently having difficulty with an individual who is NOT "Tom Field" and I need to make everything so clear and above board that I don't have lawyers crawling over my newly pinned and plated body.

I will not be able to claim any fact as to who "Tom Field" really is. I think you know that already. I am just trying to dot my "T's" and cross my "I's" to make sure that the names I put forth as POSSIBILITIES won't come back to bite me.

Who do you think "Tom Field" really is? Might you think his true initials are L.D.? Could the foul-mouthed fellow possibly have the initials of R.S.? Or might a relative of "Tom Field" who may have their own blog be a co-hort of "Tom's"?

I really don't know, but I do have my opinions.

I am keeping all of this off the regular blog because "Tom" hasn't done anything for quite a while and I can ignore him and his blogs as he ignores mine.

If you are who I think you might be, do you still think it is the person you thought it was a while ago?

Also, did you read the post about Maxine and Fred and how they might use "Mac Panoramic" to help them sell their house?

You are correct that it has been about two months and I have had lots of other things happening.

Oh, by the way, if you are an R.P.V. resident and you go to vote on Tuesday, please don't vote for Don Reeves. He is a nice older gentleman, but his views are too far to the right and he supports mixed-types of units at Ponte Vista.

I'm still voting Yes on Measure D to repeal the Storm Drain User Fee. If I don't have to pay it, why should the other residents have to pay? Doesn't seem fair to me.
