Who is this group? Anyone know?

How can I help you? You have had a hard time and I would like to be able to do something if I can to help you.

Am I the only one here that thinks @Misty should have entered the commissioner race? With as much knowledge as she has dispersed in this thread, she would do absolute wonders for this great county.

BAHAHAHA! I wouldn't last 5 minutes as a Commissioner because I'm too honest!

And I find it simply amazing that you just joined this list today and have already read my all posts. Aren't you the busy lil bee trolling me?

Oh wait...I'm wrong about the date you joined! I admit it! It was June 17, 2016.

I admit it, I am a speed reader. I was able to knock out these 5 pages in only 17 days!

That you're an admitted vendor speaks volumes as to why your trolling me. You don't like the fact I want vendor chairs off our beaches unless they are actually rented!!!

Wait, you think we're out here throwing all these chairs out in near 100 degree heat for nothing? People want to guarantee themselves a spot for the week and are willing and able to spend their hard earned money to do so. This is America, after all.

locals who spend hard earned money on taxes and are actual owners of the sand would like to go to the beach and not compete with empty chairs for a nice spot.

We don't set up on private property unless the owners of said property want equipment. A lot of beach front homeowners have purchased seasonal sets because they want their guests to have a comfortable seat in the shade. We appreciate all business!

What we think is that most vendors put out as many chairs as possible, taking every inch of available space, and are hostile if anyone interferes. No matter the temperature. We think most vendors are taking advantage of us and making our community look bad.

Maybe it's a minority of vendors who are giving the rest a bad name. It doesn't really matter.

You've been called out by @Dave Rauschkolb - are you proud of your business?

I was not referring to private property. We Walton County taxpayers own the public beaches.

Do you set up on public property?

So Phil, Welcome to SoWal if you're a newbie. Is Phil Good your real name? Because if you are truly a beach vendor and a business person then hiding behind an anonymous name doesn't say much for your integrity as a business owner. If you're not willing to stand up for your business with your own name that doesn't stand for much. When I first saw your name it just looks like a play on the words "feel good." If this isn't your real name I don't see how anyone can have respect for you as a business person or even take you seriously or anything you say seriously. So if this isn't your real name I suggest you change it and introduce yourself to the world and stand up for what you say and back it up with who you are. Obviously, I'm not a fan of anonymity on social platforms. And especially not from business people. So please, introduce yourself; I'd be happy to meet you and so would everyone else. We may already even know you but can't tell because you're hiding behind a fake name. You are a business person aren't you? What's the name of your business as well? So what say you? Phil or Feel or whatever. And if Phil Good is really your name it's nice to meet you.

Very. I was blessed to be raised in paradise, saw a demand, and took advantage of it like many others have done before me and will continue to do after. It is unfortunate that it has upset a few. The community has never looked better, just look at all this money that is pouring in!

I appreciate the sincere, well intended post in light of all the name-calling I've been reading on here. With that being said, I prefer not throwing my real name in to that mix. Hope you all have a blessed day!

The only thing you have been called is a troll because that's all you've done since you joined. You owned that you have taken advantage of public land but can't own you're a troll?

So much for big kahunas huh?

Sorry for the naïveté but what is a "Troll?" I mean, besides the plastic toys my sister had when I was a kid.
