FBB, if you read my posts you will know exactly why I think your facts are insufficient to the bigger picture of life. In other words those facts that you have repeated 100 times or more are missing something about what it means to have an awareness of something more important than exclusive private beach. I say your group because you support a fact without an identity. If I knew your name I would address as such and would be able to have a more civil conversation. I hope there will never be class warfare and I am just the messenger of how the unequal distribution of resources leads to civil discontent throughout history. The beach is a unique and very limited resource that give people hope and happiness. Reducing that resource for the pleasures of a few people is not smart. I do not think you are who you say you are but if you want to prove me wrong then it would be so simple for you to just tell us who you are. This particular horse will not die until you come clean or someone pulls the plug on this thread. I think this horse is an appaloosa. I've learned that they have a determined spirit...

One of your more vocal allies is a very very good friend of mine, She and I talk often on ways to solve this.

That is an interesting considering that you are the leader of FBFA, who is a co-plaintiff suing her. Walton County has already legally acknowledged years ago in court Suzanne Harris's private property rights on the beach. Your organization's lawsuit against her is considered by many as frivolous, and the lawyers have responded accordingly.

Your push to sue over 5000 people who own the 1194 parcels "at all costs" with "no compromise" has always lacked credibility. What did you tell Suzanne is the argument that removal of private property rights is ancient, reasonable, without interruption, and without dispute as the lawsuit claims?

Scj, your recent posts admits that you are not a BPO in Walton County which begs the questions who are you representing and why? Your credibility is now zero unless you can answer those questions.

Scj, your recent posts admits that you are not a BPO in Walton County which begs the questions who are you representing and why? Your credibility is now zero unless you can answer those questions.

My name, age, location, party affiliation, religious believes, occupation, and gender, have zero impact on the validity of the following top 10 statements with references:

1. A US Citizen cannot have property taken by a State (or Walton County) without due compensation nor without due process of law

Reference: 5th Amendment US Bill of Rights. “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”. 14th Amendment US Bill of Rights. “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”

2. An owner of Private Property in the State of Florida may not be forced to accept unlimited people with unlimited beach equipment against the will of the property owner.

Reference: State of Florida Property Bill of Rights posted on the Walton County Web Site (in particular #3):

“1. The right to acquire, possess, and protect your property”

“2. The right to use and enjoy your property”

“3. The right to exclude others from your property”

“4. The right to dispose of your property”

“5. The right to due process”

“6. The right to just compensation for property taken for a public purpose”

“7. The right to relief, or payment of compensation, when a new law, rule, regulation, or ordinance of the state or a political entity unfairly affects your property”


3. The Walton County BCC attempted to remove Property Rights (right of Exclusion) without due process and without compensation for the first time in a 2016 Beach Ordinance. HB 631 documented a procedure which the must prove that the recreational use has been “ancient, reasonable, without interruption, and without dispute”.

Reference: Walton County BCC minutes and HB 631

4. Walton County filed a lawsuit against owners of 1194 parcels (thousands of people) to remove property rights (right of exclusion) that would allow unlimited people with unlimited beach equipment to use private property against the will of the property owner.

Reference: Formal Notice of Intent to affirm the existence of recreational customary uses on private property passed and adopted by the BCC Nov 3, 2018. A customary use affirmation is sought only on the portion of the properties referenced in Exhibit “A” that consists of the dry sand area of the beach”. “The dry sand area of the beach is defined as the zone of unconsolidated material that extends landward from the mean high water line to the place where there is marked change in material or physiographic form, or to the line of permanent vegetation, usually the effect limit of storms waves, whichever is more seaward”.

5. The sources of evidence the BBC lawsuit used to show recreational customary rights were ancient, reasonable, without interruption, and without dispute were allegedly been provided in Exhibit B, but NO EVIDENCE was provided that supports those claims..

Reference: Motion to Dismiss, Court Document #996 in case 2018CA547, filed by George Mead on August 16, 2019

6. Walton County acknowledged in a 2009 settlement that Edgewater beachfront property has been historically at all time for the exclusive, private use of Edgewater’s owners and guests. Edgewater has filed Motions to Dismiss and recover Attorney Fees.

Reference: Motion to Dismiss, Court Document #881 in case 2018CA547, filed by Kay Simpson on June 19, 2019 and Motion to Recover Attn Fees, Court Document #932 in case 2018CA547, filed by Kay Simpson on July 12, 2019.

7. No Public Beach property has ever been made Private Beach under Quiet Title as rumored by CU Advocates and FBFA. Vizcaya Beach was Private Property prior to the 2016 Beach Ordinance and HB 631 and did not change the status of the deeds or property boundaries as rumored by the graphics used at the FBFA meetings and FB.

Reference: Social Media Posts on Visioning FB Page, FBFA FB Page, and review of Walton County Property Records

8. Beach property is taxed as opposed to a contrary rumor by CU advocates and FBFA supporters which was proved to be false.

Reference: Social Media Posts on Visioning FB Page, FBFA FB Page, and review of Walton County Property Records

9. FBFA leaders and CU advocates used rally cry used to sue BPO to remove property rights “at all costs” and “no compromise”. FBFA lawyer indicated that the lawsuit could take 10 years and cost $50,000,000 or more.

Reference: Social Media Posts on Visioning FB Page, FBFA FB Page

10. BPO’s have doxed on Social Media, including threats of destruction of private property, violence and death, and had numerous Social Media posts deleted. Many BPO’s have banned from social media sites, some of who never made posts, but were deleted because who there were and not what they said.

Scj, all you have to do is tell us (BPO's and non BPO's) who you are working for. I think we can figure out the why part. If you are going to make accusatory statements then you will have to back it up with the truth of why you are posting in a community forum. Again, if you want BPO's to believe you then you have to be willing to identify yourself. If you can't do that then your agenda is not to help this community heal from this emotional issue but rather something else entirely. If you care about civility and respect then yes it is a requirement for credibility and honor to back up your statements with an identity. I honestly do not care whether you do or not but I am sure that BPO's care because they are part of this community.

Scj, I will even give you an incentive to be more truthful about who you are working for. If you do this I will personally catch us a mess of fish, prepare and cook with sides AND have whatever beverage (if I can afford it) you desire. I feel like the community needs to heal with a more positive message. Everything you and I are now posting have been said hundreds of times and we ain't gettin anywares. Why not try a more community approach. Friends are better than enemies. I think BPO's would prefer a less negative association. I'm serious so how bout it?

If the CU supporters would just stick to ALL of the facts, and not just their cherry-picked hyperbole, the discussion would be much better.

And certainly shorter.
