Is about the only response to this ..sorry BMBV, I tried to give you some credit, but you obvioulsy, and sadly, don't deserve it

I also have to add that obviously, the old addage is true, ....money does not buy class or style

 

[Rita]

Wow! I didn't realize that I was jealous and envious of you. Now I see the light. Yes, followed the symptoms directly to the problem. How insightful. Now, I am a new person since you have shown me the light. Thank You!

Hogwash! BMBV, you must get down off that pedastal on which you climbed. I believe you may be the only one who sees yourself up there. ;-)

.... Please note my smilie with this ... heehee ;-)

I mean Kurt could...

I'm out.

Does anyone know when the photos in this piece were taken? Unbelievably, we are staying at one of the houses shown in these photos in mid-May.

I am really worried now. I wonder if we need to look into moving somewhere else. Does anyone know of an area with small gulf front rental houses where seawall construction is NOT going on?

Unbelievable

There are two new rentals (houses are not new) at the intersection of 30-A and hwy 395, Across from the village market. Private pools. I believe they are rentad thru Beaches of South Walton. They are the cute cinder block beach house. Hope this helps...no construction in front that I have noticed but just east of the houses.

Everyone,

I believe the real concerns don't lie with the retaining walls. That's right! You "read me" correctly. Everyone who has read the other 2 ACTIVE threads (Seawalls and Geotubes in Texas), will know that I'm a trouble maker.

I speak my mind. And I don't take crap from Simple Simons .

All the hostility is over something a lot more petty when you cut to the chase. Let's be honest....

All this bad blood that exists is because on Walton beaches, extravagant homes for the rich and connected dominate the landscape.

There.... that's it. I said it. Can anyone really deny it?

Vagrant \Va"grant\, a. [Probably fr. OF. waucrant, wacrant, p.
p. of waucrer, wacrer, walcrer, to wander (probably of
Teutonic origin), but influenced by F. vagant, p. pr. of
vaguer to stray, L. vagari. Cf. Vagary.]
1. Moving without certain direction; wandering; erratic;
unsettled.

That beauteous Emma vagrant courses took. --Prior.

While leading this vagrant and miserable life,
Johnson fell in live. --Macaulay.

2. Wandering from place to place without any settled
habitation; as, a vagrant beggar.
Vagrant \Va"grant\, n.
One who strolls from place to place; one who has no settled
habitation; an idle wanderer; a sturdy beggar; an
incorrigible rogue; a vagabond.

Vagrants and outlaws shall offend thy view. --Prior.

The name speaks for itself.

Oops, you forgot your "smiley"

Let's be honest... envious? You couldn't pay me to be in your position. I can see the water just fine, thanks. Exactly who is envious of who? just kidding, lighten up. D)

But thanks for that insightful gem, big guy.

Dear Smiling JOe,

Of all the people on all these threads, I thought I could depend on you for moderation. You've let me down this time in a big way.

....NO, not really.

You, my friend, were set up. Yep, I expected everyone else to "bite", but not you. Perhaps after I explain this post in greater detail, you and I (and I hope others) will continue our dialogs.

It's kind of like the old tuna fishing techniques where there were unwanted takes of dolphin. Yes you, my friend are an intelligent dolphin swimming in a school of tuna. ;-)

I apologize for yanking you in the way I did. Honestly. I was hoping based on past dialog, that you, of all people wouldn't turn your back on me so quickly.

BUT this was the only way that I could see to REALLY MAKE THIS POINT....

I said exactly the following,
"All this bad blood that exists is because on Walton beaches, extravagant homes for the rich and connected dominate the landscape."

Do you notice the bold text in the above text?

Guess what?

That didn't come from me.

That's right, I didn't originally say it nor do I believe it. Nor do I believe the bad blood part (for the most part - of course there may be exceptions ).



Then why in the world did I post this?

Remember the "freedom of the press" question that I poised to ecopal in the other thread. I asked him if he believed in "freedom of the press"? Remember all the boring case law he quoted when I said a simple yes or no would suffice?...even suggesting that one could be held liable if the terminology was akin to "fighting words" and that was not covered under freedom of the press.



OK OK.....I'll get to the point.


Shelly posted a link to an article in the very first post of this thread that the Pensacola News Journal published.

With me so far? Maybe now you remember and are now seeing the method to my madness, but I'll continue anyway....

The 9th paragraph of that Pensacola News Journal article is quoted below:

"On Walton beaches, extravagant homes for the rich and connected dominate the landscape."

That's all there was in that one sentence paragraph, PERIOD. That's it. Nada mas!


CALL ME CRAZY (which many of you have done already), but if it looks like a dead skunk, smells like a dead skunk, has about as much use as a dead skunk then it MUST be a dead skunk.


This article in the Pensacola News Journal is the epitome of class warfare. I didn't write it. I just read it and saw it for what it is.... toilet paper.

Gannett should be ABSOLUTELY EMBARASSED to allow an article such as this to be generated and not classified as an editorial. Maybe it is an editorial. Either way it "STINKS" to high heaven !!

Smiling JOe, I hope you now see why I did what I did (posting the "inflamatory" remark).

You and everyone else need to really walk a mile in our (GF) shoes and see some of this non-sense for what it is. It's a lot easier to spot when one is non-biased and slanted by the likes of ecopal.

Oh, just for the record, there are many of us GF property owners that are not as "rich" and are not "well connected" as this article would lead the average reader to believe.

I also have to add that obviously, the old addage is true, ....money does not buy class or style

So true, Allifuun. :clap_1:

 

[Smiling JOe]

I was set up? I don't get it. You are really clever aren't you?
BMBV, I have an idea. When you quote in the future, try using the "..." and citing you source. I didn't agree with that in the article and I didn't agree with you using it.

Until you know whose shoes I have walked in, perhaps you should refrain from telling me to walk in a GF onwers. For the record, I am not following ecopal's story any more than I am following yours. I have my own mind and think for myself.

I think I will take a break from this thread. If someone has something interesting and knowledgable that I may appreciate reading, please send me a pm and let me know to check the thread.

Peace Out!
