Hey AC, glad you popped in.

A couple of weeks ago, you made a pretty scathing post directed at me, attacking me on a couple of fronts, even wondering if I was making a threat. Apparently this was a response to what the poster going by ChEz had said. Someone else then later stated that ChEz was me, which was why you singled me out. A couple of things you need to know.

First of all, I'm not the guy that posted as ChEz, so you and Shunnd and everyone else were barking up the wrong tree. I never read what he said, it had been deleted by the time I came in and browsed. In fact, I had not posted anything for about 2 weeks prior to that. So what ever was said, I know nothing about it.

Second, some of the things you posted could be construed as hate crimes. You attacked gay behaviors, and if I was gay, you would have crossed the line. You attacked me for my sincerely held religious beliefs and made disparaging remarks about that. Again, that is a hate crime.

Now, before you go off on denying that, I had a long phone discussion about those with Ray Meese of the VCS. He's Gretchen's manager. We went over you post line by line. He concurred, and is the one that deleted your post. We didn't agree on everything, but those disagreements were essentially regarding the culture of the BC, the hostility that is displayed in here.

Something else you should know in regards to my work with the homeless shelter, which I have been doing for over 15 years now. I work very closely with the VCSD. They have a seat on the Board of Directors. So they know me very well, as well as many, many others and think that I, as well as the entire shelter program and its volunteers, do very well.

One other thing that you, as well as everybody else, should know. LE agencies do monitor these comment boards. 99.99% they disregard, however, your comment that you "...hope I die an agonizing death" gets their attention. So, you really need to be careful about what you post.

I have a proposition for you. Let's meet. Bring Shunnd along and I'll treat you both to lunch. I think that if we actually put faces to our names, we'll get a better perspective of each other and walk away better for that. I'm free on weekends, and you can name the time and place. What do you think?

First off, let me extend an apology on behalf of Shunned and myself. If you’re not Chez, then we were out of line.

Someone didn't 'later' say that you were Chez. Someone said it days earlier; or we’d not have made the mistake.

Chez made some definite provable threats towards myself and Shunned of his own - such as coming down from Santa Barbara, that he could make it in 30 minutes, he knew where I was - etc. Uncalled for, unprompted. We were singled out (not for the first time either) and for the life of us we don't know why.

Perhaps we're the 'Brangenlina' of the BC and are the focus of envy; I don't know.

When called on it, he backpedaled rapidly. I wonder if you saw that? Probably not. By your own admission, you didn't see the original threat. So you've only got half the story. And of course, he was banned a day or so later.

Thinking it was you, based on the style (not very subtle, he also tries to mimic EZ) and coupled with others believing the same; I went on asking why somebody so religious would threaten me as Chez did. Was that an attack? No. It was an accusation of hypocrisy. A religious person would not say what Chez said. And you're taking the 'agonizing death' thing completely out of context.

Regarding who you took my post to; understand this - YOU say you have no idea what Chez said. You are therefore going on only half the information. Nor did I make any threats at all; other than to remind Chez that HIS threats would wind him up in jail (saying he would make new friends is homophobic? Since when?) You might want those to whom you spoke to pay more attention to who is ‘starting’ the problems and be a little bit more pro-active. Last night had a perfect example of somebody who came on purely to start something. I’ve emailed Gretchen more than once about Chez and that other. Lotta good it did.

While we’re on the subject, you made some very nasty comments on Mike's Blog to both Shunned and myself earlier this month when she tried to apologize for being part of the problem on the blog. Several of your pals (yourself included) over there had the best day of their lives going after us from that point forward. Happy to provide the entertainment.

Moving forward; I ask that we both drop it. Clean slate? That's up to you. Know that this applies ONLY between you, Shunned and myself. I speak for nobody else nor do I offer the Olive Branch TO anybody else. It is you that we were mistaken as to the identity and to YOU we apologize. You can determine for yourself the sincerity of this and accept it or reject it. Strange. You and Shunned USED to get along fairly well. Perhaps not?

No, we will not meet with you. Some of those whom you associate with are less than desirable. I'm sure you can say the same for ours. We don’t want to provide fodder and gossip to the blog any more than we have. So I guess we can call it a wash.

Signing off.

Smack and OjaiGuy don't work to hard.

Beautiful day out, enjoy what you can of it!

Dang Oj!
For you to go above Gretchen's head to complain without first even giving her or AC a chance to discuss what was bothering you is clearly wrong!
Coming here threatening with the law and your friends at the VCSD, hmm, I'm gonna guess you may be having trouble dealing with incompatibility issues of arrogance and a fragile ego because you attack admitting you don't have all the facts (didn't even read CHeezy's post) that makes you wrong again big fella.

I will say I find the 'sequence' of the lunch offer a rather comical touch because it leaves no question as to your sincerity.
Honestly, I don't know why you even continue to post here when it seems all you ever bring anymore is grief. I'm not judging butt Christian? whatever

As is everything I post, it's just my opinion. I used to have a great deal of respect for you, you changed, consequently I did too. waves down low

I highly doubt that the BC is the envy of the blogger world.

I am not taking anything out of context, especially your comment about the "agonizing death". We can probably go in circles about that, but to me, Mr. Meese was in agreement with me, as well as the gay remark and the religious attack.

I mentioned the culture here, who starts what and how, the "inside" jokes, etc. Everybody is guilty, no one is innocent, on this blog, SAST and the B&G.

As far as who I "associate" with, well, one would be Smacktalk. We know each other, are fairly close neighbors, and whenI get my boat fixed, I'm pretty sure we'll do some fishing. Is he an undesireable? If you are speaking of others that I chat with, that is pretty broad. I chat with many people on other threads, some of whom I know personally.

I agree with the wanting to move forward. That was why I offered to buy you lunch. FYI, had we met, I would not have posted anything that was discussed privately between us. But that is your choice. Sometime ago, I made my as well, which is why I have disassociated myself from here.

Best wishes to you and Shunnd.

Pure tripe,watcher of dying birds.
You would have been informed that "HOPE" is not a threat by the "LE".
I must wonder to the effect you have on the homeless as in my OPINION you are not qualified to help them.I see you from your twisty way of witless banter as a definate deterrant for their well being.I see your ego,judgemental spewing as most blatantly a sign of a dislike for these peoples and like your "BIRD" anology quite pathetic!
You relished calling Mr. Meese and I would presume you implied fault on his part;) and the paper.I pray,they look up the "cheze" poster and tell us who they are,in fact I demand it as rebuttal to your post now or proof of your claim!!!
Git a life guy,sticks and stones,Yes?WORDS never!!!!
Butt ewe,ewe with a nothing but a passion to create an illusion that the world needs the calibur of you.
I/we have been exposed to plenty like you and alot of the problems of today are for the likes of you.Critisim is just that an opinion of someone.You go way beyond and take pride in it:).I disliked what I saw of you when "Ojai gal"said she was only there to get by and slept in a seperate bed.She was asking opinion and I mentioned to "SQUINT".I also found it amusing,she no longer post on here and you give reason of;).
You never cease to amaze me with the predictability that is you;).
A book one need not open.
NOW,Run call the editor,stop the press imply,insinuate,demand,threaten them and pound your chest with the affluent names you can remember,because I think you are a fraud and an insult to the shelter you lurk about and decide,no judge WHO is helped and who is sent back to the misery.Wave your ego and make them BOW.
It is the best you can hope for achieving after 15 years;).

@Luvee, I suspected we'd probably lose him when I posted this morning.
I really wish he wouldn't feel the need to pledge his allegiance to Catty, his choice.

@ V_K, you know as a brother I respect you, will stand beside you and fight for your right to choose. Though as we've previously discussed, I still strongly disagree on this particular choice of yours.
Sadly unfortunate is the male blood flow system that doesn't supply us with enough for both heads to function at the same time.

My nature was revealed in my posts to AC. Reach out, find common ground and build from there. He doesn't have to accept the offer, and I'm OK with that.

As for those posts, your reading comprehension is as good as your writing skills. I never made any threat about calling LE, I was merely pointing out that they monitor posts. It's a fact.

You're true nature is revealed when you start spouting off lies, that's your style. I never mentioned you, but, as is your nature, you go sticking your nose in it.

Unfortunatley, the VCS needs the hits for their marketing department more than they need a responsible journalistic product, so they allow them to stay. In other words, they lower the bar for folks as yourself. What advertiser in Ventura is interested in some cowboy who lives in Texas? The Star fudging the numbers to sell advertising, and not very well either, considering they experienced losses so far this year.

BTW, you made mention of throwing rocks back. As well as behaving like a lying little girl, you throw like one, too.

Oh yeah, that is just my opinion. I guess I have to say that to validate this post.
