Looks like I hit a nerve.

You write nearly 700 words, and not one is about you helping Asbury 
Park.

You have no sense of public service.  Zero.

Just keep complaining about us that roll up our sleeves and help.

AsburyCouple,

When Rook criticized the Mayor's Ball (a new topic started by him if 
I recall), I simply, politely, asked him for his reasons why he 
criticized it since it raises money to help Asbury kids. Note well: 
I was even personlly mentioned in his post.

Rook didn't respond.  Mario did.  He posted some links about waste 
in the lottery system (?).  I asked him for a direct answer.  

As you can see, he won't answer, instead typing 700 words about how 
much he hates me (in one post; we are into the thousands of words 
today already about his favorite topic - me). 

No offense AsburyCouple, but this isn't the first time you jump into 
one of these by addressing me about the problem; you never take him 
on. 

I've never seen you ask Mario, when he goes off on one of his 
thousand word screeds about me , if he agrees with my right to 
speak. You only draw conclusion about me when I respone to him? I've 
never seen you ask him to stop. 

I didn't start it - I was the only one mentioned in Rook's post, and 
then there were insinuations of something untoward about money and 
the Mayor's ball made by Mario.  I should say northing?  That's my 
reputation he is trying to soil - for nothing more than raising 
money for Asbury kids?

Let me see you address Mario about this conversation instead of me.  
Be fair (I think you are).  Address Mario directly.

You know Tom, you do have a valid point.  Likely because I so often
disagree with you on point of view I probably am quicker to be critical
of you than of Mario, others and even myself on tone and delivery.  The
reality is I think far too many people on this board take liberty with
fact, making accusations and insinuations without the slightest shred of
fact.  Both of you do.  And I'm sure occassionally so do I.

So in the fair and balanced spirit I'd again ask you both to take your
personal argument to a personal place - email is a much better vehicle
for the discussion you are having than this group.   I'll even buy you
both a beer if you want to do it in person, but disavow any
responsibility for personal injury or property damange.

  And I will ask everyone, starting with myself, to avoid taking leaps of
logic to unfounded conclusions without facts to back them up.  I'm not
speaking to any particular string of topics or any particular people,
but to the general discource in this group that some times gets both
highly personal and way out of hand.

Bull.  In response to the question of why criticize the Mayor's 
Ball, you linked to the article about money from the lottery not 
going to where it is promised.

That's no friggin joke.  You were insinuating that the folks from 
the Mayor's Ball are not spending the money as promised.

That would be a crime, not a joke. You impugned the reputations of 
the people that organize the Ball and contribute to it.

Now you say it was a joke?  What was funny about it, Michael
