I am a stickler for manners, and haven’t deviated from that in this thread. I feel that I’ve been both forthright and respectful.

Regardless of the results of any poll, your hubris won’t allow you to stay away.
Your respectful posts sir:::


1 We should cut and stump all public lands. I can't currently drive 50 mph across every inch of any of them., even in a Big Yellow Taxi Plain old sarcasm for your first.

2 I hope you're not as ridiculous in real life. I hoped to introduce myself yesterday, but you didn't show. BBQ was good

3 There is plenty of access to thousands of acres of the lake. There is plenty of open, navigable lake access in this state.

4 I used to think all politicians were like you. I’ve spent more time engaging politicians lately, and I was wrong. They aren’t all self serving dick jobs like you are. You ask for input, until you are challenged. You respond by belittling your challengers and flexing your intellect. That works against people with lesser intellect.

How many houses were on Lake Marion during WW2? How many jet skis? Wake boats?

If you desired a different outcome, you could craft a great argument that the inability to complete the clearing has been a blessing.
The issue that I have is not the project necessarily. I haven’t spent more than 40 hours on this portion of the lake in my life, and I know that you have. I don’t have enough knowledge of this piece of the world to speak intelligently about it.

What I do have knowledge of is the consistency Representative Lowe has shown in his behavior in Columbia and on this site. He handles every issue in the same manner. It is not issue specific because it is who he is at the core. He believes he is smarter than everyone. He doesn’t truly want the opinions of others because he doesn’t respect others or their opinions. I can guarantee that there is something in this for him, or his wife. There always has been.

Part of me admires his capitalism, the use of his resources to enjoy time with his family, and working to give his family a better life. I can relate to those things. He likes to subtly rub peoples faces in it, but that’s just what he does.

At the core, he believes he’s better than you. He is going to respond at some point today that we should file and run against him. He always does. I don’t want his job. I like my job. He could do his job without being condescending, but that’s not who he is, and his constituents elected him. The devil you know is sometimes better than the devil you don’t.

6 This is a perfect example of an issue I have with you. He is voicing a common opinion, and you go straight to hyperbole. Of course no one wants to stop all building, end the timber industry, and stop all commercial initiatives. That’s ridiculous and you know it. You use this tactic to nip any discussion that questions your position in the bud.

7 Directed at Bog : Man, those places sound incredibly dangerous. Tons of deaths and serious injuries, especially of children,
must occur annually. Where can I find the records of all of these accidents?

8 I’m sure with 10 minutes of research (which I don’t care to do), the agenda would be quite clear.

9. You’ve resurrected yourself more than Jesus and M2 combined
