Well, Why No Compliment When We Agree??

Why won't the who the person really is won't compliment me when we agree on an issue?

The individual spends so much of his/her energy, time, and space on his/her blog attacking me, it seems when we agree on something, he/she won't even bother mentioning it.

I have written time and time again about the "public road" at Ponte Vista and how I agree with Bob that he is most probably not required to provide the road, now that he owns the property.

I agree with Bob's stance, even though it is not shared by Betsy Wiseman of the Planning Department and most of the members of R Neighborhoods Are 1.

Bob has never been, or could he be legally required to provide an access road for the folks who live on Fitness Drive if he chooses not to provide access from those three developments to any "public road" he is not required to build.

I am also in a minority position in thinking that students and parents should not have a route between Western Avenue and Mary Star of the Sea High School. Western Avenue is already crowded enough and folks already using Western Avenue are being inconvenienced only to help out the folks living in the Westmont neighborhood. I don't think that is fair and I don't even drive on Western during the times most folks are trying to get to and from all the various schools in the area.

The other blogger may be a bigot, a neo-conservative, a communist, a liberal, or anything he/she wants to be. The short story is; because of their cowardice in not revealing their true identity, we are not able to judge for ourselves how sick and demented this individual may or may not be. He/she is anonymous, in fact, and that should be our first evidence that he/she has a real problem if he/she actually reveals his/her true identity.

I suspect the other blogger has a closer connection to Bob Bisno and at least one of his many supportive groups than she/he is willing to admit.
_______________________________________________

Where is the other blogger's call for compromise lately? She/he might not like Bob's 1,950-units, but we haven't been able to read anything since her/his 1,750 or so units. Where are more mixes in numbers?

I could imagine a 1,080 compromise that would allow for 550 senior housing units, 130 town houses, and 400 condos.

I could even believe that most of the objections to Bob's plans would go away if he were to come down in his numbers to 1,200-1,300. Why won't the other blogger mention other compromises than the one she/he finally reported out on.
______________________________________________

I am also sorry the other blogger doesn't have the courage to get to know me a little better. I think if she/he did, we could get along better.

It may be because she/he has some real troubles and finds that she/he gets and ego boost attacking me.

The folks who really know me don't have the same opinion as the other blogger and their opinions are far more reliable than the other blogger's, it should seem to all who read the other's blog.
______________________________________________

As for R Neighborhoods Are 1, in my opinion, and only my opinion, it has done the job it has needed to do so far. It has provided some measure of objection to Bob's plans to attack OUR community with a development that is just too big.

If the other blogger doesn't like Bob's current proposal, wouldn't it be a good idea for her/him to join with so many others in calling for Bob to lower his numbers?

Not every single member of R Neighborhoods Are 1 want only R1 zoning to remain at Ponte Vista. Sure, there are quite a few folks who want the current zoning to remain, but there are also thousands and thousands of folks who signed the petition and demonstrated support for R Neighborhoods Are 1 just because they correctly fear what Bob is trying to bring into northwest San Pedro.

Some members of Bob's supportive groups have stated publicly that they do not like Bob's current proposal, so why should folks supporting R Neighborhoods Are 1 be any different than many of Bob's "supporters"? Really they are not.

Writing only as myself and not as a member of any group, remember, I only signed the R Neighborhoods Are 1 petition because I could not find any more compromise from the other blogger.

The other blogger only supports her/his proposal and has not even entertained anything else, as far as I know. If I am wrong about this, I am sure to read another attack from her/him in the near future.

If I am correct about this, I think folks reading all blogs should inquire from the other blogger why she/he only wants her/his proposal, and no others.

1,750-units is still too many units to put anywhere near Western Avenue now that Mary Star is open, Seaport is going lease to own, Marshall's is nearing completion, and Target is having piles driven into the ground. I haven't been able to read anywhere on the other blog any suggestion that the other blogger should consider lowering the total unit count.
___________________________________________

I'm still here. I'm still writing. I guess that because the other blogger won't reveal her/his true identity they are not strong enough to handle the criticism that may be leveled on her/him if she/he actually revealed her/his true identity. Maybe that means I am a stronger person. Maybe it doesn't mean anything. Maybe nobody really cares who the other blogger really is and we shouldn't believe anything she/he writes. It is not up to me, though. I'll leave it to the readers of the blogs.

Limited Fun

It's only limited fun I am having, being attacked by a nobody.

The person has not enough honor in them to identify himself/herself, so no matter what they write, there is no reason to believe him or her. That makes it only limited fun.

I really don't have influence enough to have anyone be angry enough with me to continue to attack me, but there are folks around who probably really feel worthy by attacking others.

Remember folks, the certain person who continues to attack has to live with himself/herself for the rest of their lives, and none of the rest of us do.

Well anyway, I do get a chuckle when I read that a certain someone wants to know the identity of individuals, even though he/she is unwilling to let folks know who he/she really is.

I suppose the more I read from this person, the more it looks like he/she is having to shill for Bob and has always been a supporter of Bob's plans, even though he/she claimed they weren't a true supporter.

As we read more from that other blog, if folks care to do so, we find it is aligning more with Bob's current plans, than the previous 1,750-unit compromise we read earlier.

The type of humor I have does not necessarily need to attack weaker individuals, so that is why I try to not call the other person, names. I do enjoy reading just about everything he/she produces because I do enjoy humor and some of his/her stuff is very funny, at least to me.

I still contend that nobody needs to believe anything the other blogger writes, especially when we don't know their true identity and/or true affiliation with Bob and his bunch. But I sure like the way he/she tries to explain the fiction I am reading.

Too bad though, if he/she really wants to be taken seriously, don't you think the true identity should be revealed?

Oh well, it is only fun to dwell on this matter for a short time.

I was wondering if Bob might have trouble continuing a line of credit with his financial backers if he doesn't get a minimum number of units approved of, for the Ponte Vista site. Perhaps when he took his business plan into the bankers to pitch the deal, he used histories of other developers receiving zone changes that would allow for the number of units that the bankers were looking for. I am just wondering what may happen if the Planning Department comes back with a number of units around 1,200. Might Bob's bankers continue his line of credit if the profit margin is much lower than they anticipated.

I am glad for everyone concerning the new Mary Star Campus. We get to read the banners and the full page ads, by the Ponte Vista folks reminding us that they have provided a route between Western Avenue and the new campus. I like the idea of the campus being where it is, but as the odd duck in the pond, I still think the Western Avenue route means too many vehicles using Western, even before the Planning Department weighs in on the number of units that might be built, at Ponte Vista.

There are still a number of folks who want to see the green tarp screening on the fences surrounding the Ponte Vista site. I haven't heard from anyone living in San Pedro, whether they have taken the matter up with the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council or somebody in L.A. City government.

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! Terri is a U.C.L.A. alum and we watched the Bruins go down to defeat, once again to U.S.C. Heck, ding-a-ding, dang. There is always next year.

The festival of the celebration of Saint Steven's Day is approaching. To many folks, that day is also called Christmas Day. There are holidays for just about everyone and I really wish everyone a splendid holiday season. It is quite alright to say "Merry Christmas" to anyone you wish, I strongly feel. It may also be a good idea to include "Happy New Year", too.

Oh, and another thing. I wonder if it would be a good idea for you-know-who to meet my former wife. Now there's at least two individuals who are quite angry with me. Well actually, I don't think my former wife cares enough about me to be angry with me.

And no, I don't think my first wife is really you-know-who. But they both probably still look good in a dress!

Somebody Does Have a Point

I can't really argue with somebody's allegations against San Pedro's Neighborhood Councils.

He/She may have a point. It probably should be investigated.

Perhaps along with that investigation, Laura Chick should have an investigation concerning folks in the City of Los Angeles being called for a telephone survey that suggested that Ponte Vista would have "a mix of single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes."

Or perhaps, in the future, if Bob only gets entitlements to built many fewer units than he wants to build, he might not provide the land and the budget for a permanent road between Western Avenue and the new Mary Star campus. Since the advertisement appeared in today's More San Pedro where it is written that when the entitlements are granted, Bob will build the new road. What might happen if Bob decides that if the L.A. City Council refuses to adopt ordinances that would allow for a certain number of units, Bob would NOT build the access road. Bob has claimed that he is not legally bound to provide the road over his property, if the site remains R1.

I actually would welcome investigations into all matters of support or opposition to Bob's current, former, and perhaps, future plans. We seem to have an agent working for Bob who is using back channels and mis-identification, to further Bob's processes, and support. Why is Bob's agent hiding? What does he/she have to lose?

It is becoming more clear to me, at least, that a certain individual has much more intimate knowledge of Bob's organization than he/she claims. With that person's ability to bring up issues and have them dealt with, isn't it about time that person becomes brave enough to identify himself/herself.

If it is found that a certain individual is a person known to Bob Bisno, Alan Abshez, Elise Swanson, and others being paid by the Bisno organization, I think we might be able to get some more investigations going that would slow down Bob's processes much more.

I have absolutely no problem with starting and continuing investigations that could result in more time being spent before Bob's plans, whatever they are, come before the L.A. City Planning Commission or the City Council. The longer the delay, the happier I am. It means as traffic gets worse, the better we all will have to judge the situations.

Bob and his supporters seem to want to get things done quickly. Why don't we just slow down, think more about what this is doing to OUR community and deal with things, as they come along.

Perhaps Bob might even benefit from the slowing down. If he can sit on what should be vacant land for a couple of years, perhaps the housing market will rebound. Of course by that time both Target and Marshall's will be in full operation. Just think of the traffic studies that will have to be conducted in two to three years.

Oh yes, I am not a stakeholder in the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council and if I am a stakeholder in Northwest San Pedro and/or Central San Pedro Neighborhood Councils, I don't consider myself a member of either of those organizations.

Crap! He's/She's Back

Well I guess when I questioned a letter to the editor by Mr. Louis Dominguez, on my main blog, it seems to have brought back Tom Field into the picture.

Go figure.

Now I am not stating as fact who "Tom Field" really is and I am not stating, claiming, or telling anyone I know, for a fact, who "Tom Field" really is. It is just a wonder why, when I mention Louis Dominguez on my main blog, "Tom Field" begins to write again.

Well, I am still going to have to moderate comments on all my blogs, that's for sure.

I hope "Tom" doesn't hang around too long. We were doing so fine without him/her.

I must have pissed somebody off when I questioned just what in the Sam Hell is "the project".
I still don't have a real answer on that one.

I have not written about "Tom" for some time and I'll try my best to keep the person out of posts on my main blog.

To think, I nominated Louis Dominguez as someone who could be considered more like John Olguin. It would be tragic to find out that I am so wrong about Mr. Dominguez.

I guess now that Mark A. Waronek is the former Mayor of Lomita, that is another blow, at least very slight, to the Bisno group.

Some folks were even wondering if Councilman Waite and Councilwoman Dever were in league with Mark and/or Bob. I don't know anything about that, so you'll have to ask others yourself.

Things haven't been going to well for elected and selected persons who are also affiliated with Bob Bisno.

It really wasn't that pretty watching Mark Waronek exit the Council Chamber, especially after hearing from him that, "it still hurts." Mr. Waronek, you apparently hitched your horse to a bad buggy and it cost you. I don't think you can blame anyone, but yourself, for your loss, not even Bob.

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.

I Need to be Nicer, I Guess

Attacking "XXX" and her potty-mouthed friends, all of whom are emotionally and socially retarded, we are all coming to find, is something I should continue easing up on, I feel at this time.

She is still attacking me with posts and everyone is becoming more informed about her many troubles dealing with just about everything.

She also has resorted to not providing us with her "true wisdom" concerning Ponte Vista lately, so it seems she only wants to continue attacking somebody that really means nothing in the big picture.

I guess when the words "Kennedy Dead" appeared above the fold on most newspapers in the U.S., "XXX" thought that was just something the newspapers had to do on November 23, 1963.

I guess "Challenger Disastor" and "PEACE" were just stories and headlines that newspapers put on the front page, above the fold, as a gimmick, according to Ms. "XXX".

I am very sorry that I am using the feminine pronouns and description for "XXX" as I know it attacks women by considering that "XXX" could actually be a female.

Wouldn't we all want to see what "XXX" might come up with now that the CAC, and thousands and thousands of members of OUR community have recommended a residential density equal to the density of R1 at Ponte Vista? How about "XXX" getting back on topic?

Wouldn't that be a unique switch?

Oh, by the way, there is absolutely no way for "Tom Field" or anyone else supportive of a large development at Ponte Vista, to provide any rational grounds to suggest that the residents at Ponte Vista will add more to the L.A. tax base, both in property taxes and sales taxes from purchases within the five-mile radius AND in the City of L.A., to make up for the added costs to all taxpayers in the City of Los Angeles for the goods and services which must be provided to all the new residents of Ponte Vista.

Simply put, the more folks who live at Ponte Vista, the more all the taxpayers in L.A. are going to have to pay to keep everyones' goods and services from being diminished.

The more folks get at Ponte Vista, the less folks get everywhere else in the City of Los Angeles, including the rest of San Pedro. And this fact can be proven.

Another very funny post

Well "XXX" did it again and created a post specifically attacking me, again.
Why oh why does he spend so much time when he can't even supply us with his real identity?

If he read back to the very beginning of my posts, he would read that my fist blog about Ponte Vista was an experiment and I had absolutely no idea where it would lead. I also wrote that I knew almost nothing about blogging (something he claimed he knows much more than I do about).

When something is the about something dealing with a person whos last name ends with an "s", it is "s'" and not anything like Well's. I think "XXX" made the mistake deliberately, rather than using "Wells'", which is correct.

Where has anyone recently been able to view comments about "XXX" on my primary blog for Ponte Vista? If nowhere is your answer, then you are correct. I don't tend to waste any time attacking "XXX" on the primary blog because he has made it such an old thing to do, continuously attack me, that it is only fun to deal with him/her on this particular blog. It seems he reads this one as well.

I guess the worst thing I do when I rebut "XXX" is take on an emotionally challenged individual. I know I probably shouldn't pick on someone as weak as a person who will not correctly identify himself or herself. I do wish he/she would just ignore me. Every time he/she writes and entire post dedicated to attacking me, well, I feel I need to challenge that post.

I have been looking for a correction from "XXX" for his improper use of one of the four "Rs" but I guess owning up to such a big error is something he/she is incapable of doing.

It looks like "XXX" and I share something in common. All of the compromise proposals we both have thought about will probably not be near what the Planning Department might suggest. So it looks like we both tried and we both failed to get our compromises seriously considered. What the heck, we gave it some shots.

I guess we all won't be sitting on pins and needles while "XXX" is taking a break and coming up with a redo for his blog.

I will stipulate one thing right here and right now. If "XXX" discontinues attacking me on any of the blogs he writes or writes for (the FAKE R1 blog) or any other new blog I find on the Internet, I will do my best to ignore anything and everything he/she writes about.

Don't you think that is fair?
