Default I don't remember the reasons

But I heard a really good explanation of why tornados "pick on" trailer parks. If someone could find said explanation; Jim's tounge-in-cheek solution actually makes sense for the public safety.

I've always said that there are two kinds of people who live in Trailers,
those who have to in order to reach their goals in life,and those who do because they have reached their goals in life.

I have had a very few select folks in cyberspace hint that I was a bit hard on the beaver if you will in regards to Kevin and this issue.

For the record I would like to make my point clear incase anyone else feels this way...


I will make this simple and clear as I think I have spent way too much time on this. My job is not to provide a detailed report to you that Kevin is up to no good that’s for you to decide based on what was said. This is not Chan or an FBI deal two totally different animals.

People will take what they will from his awful comments and let’s be honest here that was some pretty messed up stuff he said let’s not put icing on a turd and call it cake.

My stance is I’m not going to sit on information in which a known card doctor is bragging about fraud to a targeted group regardless of what the public opinion of him may or may not be. If that makes me a bad guy in your eyes so be it.

I would guess I'm not on Chan's Xmas card list this year either...

Sorry good guy or not. I have zero tolerance for scammers real or fantasy land liars doesn’t matter.

However you want to spin it it’s not cool and it’s not what we should expect from anyone. Especially someone with the outspoken nature that Kevin has against this very practice…extremely hypocritical to say the least and potentially criminal!

The point is simple make folks aware, it’s your call what you do with the info.

Time will tell if it was a monumentally mean spirited stupid lie or something far far worse.

Cheers,

John

John, you've got no reason to explain your motives as you were not the one caught discussing altering cards and defrauding Net 54 members -- Kevin was.

Default Rich Klein....et al

My understanding why tornadoes strike trailer parks is that trailers are typically constructed of metal.
A thunderstorm powerful enough to develop a tornado contains a very high electrically charged potential
that generates severe lightning. The lightning will take the path of least resistance to ground and the
storm will track on this path. This path can be a river or it can be metal structures on the ground.

Default agreed

I agree with Jeff. No need for you to apologize John. You are not the one making false accusations, and using a past tense of fraudulent acts, in a private email to a friend. (I am still trying to understand that one?)

It has also been protested to me that a private email was allowed to be shared on the board. For the record- Anytime I can help our Net54 family by breaking one of my rules I will gladly take the heat. Each situation is different and I treat them that way. I was also told by the person that protested that a lawyer had contacted them about the email issue. I responded that I am quite sure fraud is a criminal act but sharing a private email probably isn't. I also let that person know that I did not personally share the email (though I applaud it) and I am only liable for what I say, as is everyone. best regards
