GO HERE and just follow the threads/comments. It's amazing how they'll just make up stories and the names they'll even use while people actually debate back and forth about lies. Yeah, I'd trust information coming from people like, ratsass, Dick Cranium, Joe's Penis and the list goes on and on.
They tell a story of how I pulled in front of a Fire Truck in Delmar and got two tickets for doing so. Absolutely 100% not true, but they love to keep talking about it in the hopes people will believe them. Just like a group of little girls with nothing better to do. Oh, that's right, many of them are sitting around waiting for a fire to break out and have nothing better to do.
Spoteddog even said, "No need to speculate. Fact is he suffers "Little Man Syndrome" and knows that he could never be as honorable, or courageous, honest, or valuable as the men and women on this site." Again, look at the names above. NOT ONE of these so called men, (pussy's) use their real name. ROTFLMAO!
How's this one for a threat? "If there is a group you don't want to piss of, it is FF's and COP's. One day you may need them... You want them in a good mood when they get to your house, mad men with guns and axes can be a dangerous combination." mdblackcloud is yet another pansy afraid to use his real name.
Yeppers, one day I'd like to be a Salisbury Fire Fighter. I say the only man in the entire Department is Larry Dodd. Now here's a guy willing to stand in front of PAC14 and tell the world how it really is. Then when the Mayor yelled at him off camera, he manned up and told her flat out, I'm here as a Tax Paying Citizen and I have every right expressing my opinion. He didn't hide behind a letter with no name and return address. Granted, IMO he's paying the price but I'd rather be a MAN than take orders from pansies, hoping the Uniform would make me look stronger in the end.
If I ever need help, I'll call on real men from Delmar who don't spend their days on line calling black people the "N" word because they think they can get away with it. They're also real men who aren't afraid to use their real names, unlike the FireGirls from Salisbury. Now, the ones that are offended by that statement, I meant it for each and every one of you. For those who are man enough to know me and aren't bothered by that statement, forgive me? You know why it's being said. The funny part is, they'll never know why the real men can walk away from such a statement. LOL

Joe, what does is feel like to know they all hate you and talk so much shit about you. It must be very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteFrustrating?????
ReplyDeleteNah. Frustrated is being a guy sitting around all day and night with no women in their lives and hanging out with the same group day in and day out. You know, the kind of people that will listen and believe whatever you say and then be lead by someone slightly smarter than you.
Frustrated is also working for FREE and being told what you can and can't do, then hopping in a Fire Vehicle 10 minutes after an accident happened, they don't need you but you don't care and speed off to that accident anyway and then kill someone along the way. That's frustrating, wouldn't you agree?
Frustrated is being so bored that you'd consider starting a fire somewhere just so you had something to do. That's frustrated, wouldn't you agree?
Frustrated is being a Fire Fighter who would actually know when his BUDDY is working and screw around with his Wife. Yeah, that's a BROTHER all right!
I think I'll stay with Blogging.
Like I thought, it's a bit of a sensitive issue. Not that you asked, but I would like to let you know that I am not on any side. I enjoy reading and putting my 2 cents in you blog. I am not here to bash you I think you make some very valid points. But you are very big hypocrite. And I think you should not be surprised as to how the fire depts. even Delmar, feel about you. I know you are just trying to make people accountable for their actions, but IMO have been asking for a verbal retalitaion from them.
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly welcome to your opinion and as you can see I have left you comments as well as many others up.
I'm not here to get into a match with each and every one of you. You are right, I am out to make just a couple of people be accountable for their words and actions and the fact that they are in such denial just needed to be expressed on here for others to see just how they will in fact behave as YES MEN.
It's about time the Citizens came to realize just who they are making DONATIONS to on a regular basis and the next time an envelope comes around asking for more money, they'll probably throw it in the trash until they too get a leader like Mike Lewis who is honorable and will stand up for a man who works under him like Larry Dodd and Lorenzo Cropper.
Wait till those mailers go out the next time. If ANYONE donates, they support racists. Until the Fire Department rids of these Idiots, they should suffer as a whole.
I understand your view, however, I don't see any lines of people standing outside the fire dept waiting in line to volunteer. So until that happens, basically, regardless of some peoples opionions on race or crappy attitides (which exsist at every job not just fire depts) I feel that they still need to be some what respected they, despite their flaws are out there doing what we are not, possibly risking their lives.
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteYou should leave Delmar Fire Dept out of all your statements. I have famliy in that department and know for a fact that they think you are bull crap. When someone brings your name up there they just laugh and call you a dumb a$$.
You have burned your bridges with all the fire departments around here. You have put down Pittsville, Salisbury and you have had several run in with the Delmar Fire Dept.
Stay away.. just stay away!
"I don't see any lines of people standing outside the fire dept waiting in line to volunteer."
ReplyDeleteSpoken just like a shitty leader such as See & Gordy. Yep, you'll wait till the mountain comes to you. That's NOT how it works!
YOU want people to volunteer, WORK AT IT! Don't spend $10,000,000.00 thinking that will fix all your problems. DON'T ask the Taxpayers to foot such a bill if you can't operate the place once it's built!
AND, IF you want blacks to volunteer and or become paid, quit calling them the "N" Word daily, Idiots! So PLEASE do not continue feeding me your BS here and act like the Volunteers are the victums! My God, that's just unbelievable. Sarah, quit while you're ahead, seriously.
JOE,
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard See and Gordy use the "N" word... NO so stop saying that they use it!
"You should leave Delmar Fire Dept out of all your statements." REALLY? Do show me where I have put ANYONE down in Delmar, because YOU CAN'T!
ReplyDelete"You have put down Pittsville" REALLY? Show me where I have put down anyone in Pittsville? YOU CAN'T!
Again, nothing but lies in order to drive them away. I do NOT rely on anyone and you can twist things all you want, just like little girls. That's what you are is a little pansy girl making up lies to get your own attention. Yeah, you're a man, NOT!
Want to use your real name little pansy? I didn't think so. Even Sarah stepped up to the plate to show you other women how it works. Come on little girls, give it a shot?
Do you really think that Dave See and Bill Gordy are wasting their day away from their famliy playing on this web site? Man get real, Both of these guys have a life and its not blogging....
ReplyDeleteBet your wife is getting bored while your typing lies all day long. Maybe she will find so lovin someone else soon. Maybe at the fire house!
hello joe..
ReplyDeleteDarrin Scott is a member of Delmar. You have put him down alot!
"Have you ever heard See and Gordy use the "N" word"
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly did I ever say that? Nice try!
Put him down a LOT? The SOB put himself down by making statements on The Watch Desk.
ReplyDeleteFor the fun of it though, do show me where I've put him down?????
ok then..
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard anyone from SFD use the "n" word?
and if so did you say anything to them? Or were you told that they say it?
please show me where Darrin Scott was on the watchdesk. He has never even been on there and hates that site.
ReplyDeleteI know that for a fact. Lets here your facts? Bring it on joe?
"Anonymous said...

ROTFLMAO! My Wife laughs harder at you guys than anyone else! Remember dip shit, she was on the Dive Team for many, many years. She dealt with so many of you a holes screwing eachothers wives and girlfriends and then saying anything and everything simply because you were bored and had nothing to do.
Nice try pansy with no name but you just proved YOU are an Idiot enough to spend all day following my Blog. You guys are so stupid.
By the way, I've been away for three days spending time with my Wife and Grandson, unlike you. We spend tons of family time together, in case you hadn't noticed. Remember Disney World for 10 days while I was recently away? Where were you this weekend, the Laurel Flea Market buying bigger rims for your 1984 4x4 pickup? Oh, that's right, that would be family time for you, sorry.
Your a joke Joe!
ReplyDeleteNo name, no response from me. Earn it you pansy.
ReplyDeletei truly feel sorry for your family. im not even in the fire dept, and i don't like you. do you lie to your family as much as you lie on your blogs?
ReplyDeletei cant wait for the day when you need the people you enjoy talking about and they dont come. maybe then you will understand it doesnt matter how much money you have, how many lawyers you have, that most of these "pussys" as you put it dont have to come. they are volunteers and when they hear your name or your address i hope they sit home while you suffer the consequences you have created for yourself.

You see Ladies & Gentlemen, why would you make DONATIONS to a group like this?
IF YOU DON'T SAY WHAT THEY LIKE, THEY'LL LET YOUR HOME BURN DOWN OR HEY, EVEN WORSE, LET YOU DIE!
Now I know... Your mad at the SFD because when your wife was a member and everyone was cheating. No one wanted her...um
ReplyDeleteNow we know the real reason..
again you twist what was said. you are a pathetic waste of breath. you couldnt tell the truth if your life depended on it.
ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO!
ReplyDeleteYOU obviously never met my Wife, Idiot! On a scale from 1 to 10, she's a 14! Go ahead Idiot, ask around. Ask anyone who knows her just how beautiful she is?
Here's what I can and will prove. NONE of you were man enough to gain her attention. How that, Mr. Pansy?
ive seen her, i would rather have the attention of the mayor.
ReplyDelete"At 3:56 PM , Anonymous said...
ReplyDeleteagain you twist what was said. you are a pathetic waste of breath. you couldnt tell the truth if your life depended on it."
Fist of all, which one of you pansy little girls am I talking to this time?
Secondly, what exactly did I say that triggered you're being so sensative? LOL
Nevertheless, the truth is killing you little girls. what color nail polish do you wear Mr. Pansy?
"ive seen her, i would rather have the attention of the mayor."
ReplyDeleteYeah, my Wife wouldn't ever do that, you're right. I can't blame you for wanting her attention over my Wife's but I'm not into women that age going around braless.
Whatever turns you on, pansy.
you never answered this question...
ReplyDeleteok then..
Have you ever heard anyone from SFD use the "n" word?
and if so did you say anything to them? Or were you told that they say it?
Lets hear it?
anon you will never get an answer from him. it is just another one of his baseless accusations. his panties are in a bunch now though, he has dropped into name calling.
ReplyDeleteIf ANY one of you ever attempted to use that word around me, I'd obviously be the first REAL man to knock you flat out on your ass and you'd wake up thinking a MAC RRUCK just hit you.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm NOT going to give you the answers you're looking for.
Ladies & Gentlemen, this is more than likely See & or Gordy trying to find out just who has filled me in with this information, thinking I'm stupid enough to get mad and respond with such.
If you THINK you're going to get it out of me, well, the first thing you'll have to do is exactly what Barrie & Chiefy are doing and it will cost you dearly, just as it is them. Then you'll come to learn I'll not say a word. Nice try Idiots.
so what you post then is hear-say... Thought you provided facts here.. guess not
ReplyDeletehey i hear that see won a million bucks.. theres news for you.. "Breaking News" only here at sbynews
what a joke
i would love the day you put a finger on me. ill make sure to say it if i ever get that close to you.
ReplyDeletehaha at anon.
Nice try little girls but I have regularly called anyone using anonymous a PANSY. Some have problems with Blogger and use anonymouse but they sign their name at the end.
ReplyDeleteJust remember Pansies, there are thousands and thousand of people reading what you're all about here. Most are laughing at each and every one of you and the rest are saying they're NOT going to donate a DIME after seeing what you're all about any more. Yep, the Fire Department is screwed and it was all because some rotton apples used the "N" word on Rachel Polk and other media sources tones it down and played it down.
One thing you can believe Pansies, the blacks are reading my Site, honking at me when I drive down the road, thanking me everywhere I show up and their voices are being heard. IF this Mayor thinks she's going to run again, the blacks aren't going to vote for her this time because what has Barrie Tilghman done for them within the Fire Department? NOTHING!!!!!
"i would love the day you put a finger on me. ill make sure to say it if i ever get that close to you."
ReplyDeleteYOU do that Mr. Pansy and we'll ALL see what happens. You're not even man enough to use your real name here. What makes you think you're tough enough to challenge me?
Oh, I'm sorry, let me get out of the way because there are thousands of people laughing at you right now.
As an African American, I don't appreciate you calling my race "the blacks". You dont speak for me or my race. Please refrain for using my race as your scapegoat against the Mayor or the Fire Departments.
ReplyDeleteNice try.
ReplyDelete"Now I know... Your mad at the SFD because when your wife was a member and everyone was cheating. No one wanted her...um
ReplyDeleteNow we know the real reason.."
Jim Rapp was on the Dive Team also until he recently left the City. Maybe your hard on for him stems way back to then.
Show me where Darren is posting on the watchdesk. I have worked with him and he does not want to hear about that site.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are really cracking me up, seriously. Is this all you've got? Are you so pissed I didn't fall for your traps because I speak in truths and you pansies hide behind anonymous and make up lies. While I'm at it, I'll not respond to anyone pitting words into my mouth.
ReplyDeleteTake your medicine Joe, if your out, Walmart pharmacy is open til 6pm. Your ranting is making no sense. What the hell are you even talking about?
ReplyDeleteSay What You Mean, Mean What You Say
ReplyDeletethat for everyone
I gotta call you on this one!
ReplyDeleteJoe says--
"Do show me where I have put ANYONE down in Delmar, because YOU CAN'T!"
I've already posted here about this statement by you--
"Daryn Scott was just promoted and is the son of Joe Scott. Talk about a shame, because Joe Scott is a GREAT guy! That apple fell far away from that tree, fortunately."
That would be Delmar FD Deputy Chief Darrin Scott that you are talking poorly of. Also, for your information, there are many, many active members of DFD that are also members of the SFD, both on the volunteer and career side. And then there are the 2 Honorary members of DFD that you often have a problem with.
OMG, You're Right!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. That came off completely wrong!
I meant to say he's the Son of Joe Scott and "Daryn" is such a GREAT guy!
It is pretty obvious though, considering I was exposing Joe Scott for being on the Watch Desk.
Nevertheless, thank for pointing that out to me. Joe
"YOU do that Mr. Pansy and we'll ALL see what happens."
ReplyDeleteChicken Joe would duck out, just like he ducked out of military service, and just like REMF pop-in-law ducked out of combat for 20 years in the marines.
Ladies & Gentlemen, see how they treat an almost 80 year old man who served in 3 wars in the Marines?
ReplyDeleteThese Fire Fighters who remain nameless by using anonymous can't even stand up to an almost 80 year old man and show their respect for such.
Oh, now I dodged the Military. That's a good one! Oh well, this is getting too unbelievable. YOU GO ART GOETZ! To think if I were get to almost 80 years old and an entire Fire Department was afraid of me, well, you did your Country proud Mr. Goetz and you're still a bigger man than those pansies using anonymous.
Art, do tell everyone what you're going to do with that envelope for donations shows up in your mailbox from the Fire Department!!!!!
hello joe..
ReplyDeleteDarrin Scott is a member of Delmar. You have put him down alot!
Put him down a LOT? The SOB put himself down by making statements on The Watch Desk.
OK, so which is it? Joe or Darrin?
And I do believe SOB is a put down.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteYou are not Daryn or Joe, so I owe YOU nothing. I have said my peace and that's all there is to it.
It was a beautiful day today and you spent it arguing with anonymous bloggers? You are nuts and you prove it by this post!
ReplyDelete"No name, no response from me. Earn it you pansy." You did give a response Idiot!
I happened to have spent the last three days at Cherrystone Park on the Bay on the Eastern Shore of Virginia with my Wife and Grandson.
ReplyDeleteYou can claim I have been here all day but you're once again wrong. I woke up to the smell of fresh water, fresh brewed coffee and a beautiful stroll on a 200 foot long pier looking across 18 miles of Bay in front of me.
I'll post tomorrow about just how special a weekend it was while you make up all the BS you want about my life, you're wrong.
So your Febuary comic posting of a "Mexican Gas Chamber" is not racial or stereo typing? Or there is your Septembers Islamic Center being turned into a "Quickie Mart", is it not racial or stereo typing? Then ther is your Queen Dee Dee video clip on Shainie that you stero type her for her vocabulary in August. For one who is stero typing "ALL FIREFIGHTERS" in SFD as racist, you need to have an update on your sexual harrassament and discrimination training. Then on your lost files of the Gary Coleman twin walking across the Thrift Travel in lot was politically correct, as was the Gentleman passed out on a sidewalk with an empty chicken container and a watermelon.
ReplyDeleteWhat is frustrating is seeing you jump the fence to what everside drives your hits and makes you feel like you are doing "Good" for all. I can say as a Firefighter and Christain, as much as you can stir it, I and many will still do our job saving you or your family in a time of need. I can forgive you beforehand as well.

You forgot way back when after Charles Jannace failed to succeed at becoming County Executive and I showed a homeless guy as being his future.
ReplyDeleteSay that "N" Word in front of me and watch what happens.
There's a huge difference between humor and being a racist. One thing I'll NOT do here is deny that humor.
By the way, no one attacked Shanie's vocabulary. It was the praise the lord stuff and the uh huh's that I spoke about being rude and it is.
Are you denying those small children didn't look like Gary Coleman?
Did I call them two small "N"ers? I think not you SOB and I am certainly angry at you for trying to IMPLY I am a racist because of such humor.
I am NOT a Priest and I am by no means perfect but let me assure you of one thing, you'll not hear me call a black person the "N" Word.
So cut your bullshit because I will not allow you to put me in that category.
joe is always right. Hes never wrong and will not admit to being wrong ever...
ReplyDeleteIf may seem obvious to you, since you know what you meant to say, but it wasn't obvious to anyone else. Let's just say you haven't made any friends in your hometown FD by what appeared to be an ugly comment about one our most respected members, who you've never even met. I'll leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteI can't say as I blame them. I worded it wrong and that was my fault. I can only hope they can forgive me for being human?
ReplyDelete"With words and statements like, "glitterin infatractional?" "Assessive Sound?" Not just targeting College Students. Shanie proves she da most edgamacated indibidual on the Council." This was under the headline About Shanie. Did you just forget your spell check that day or were you making a statement about her vocabulary?
ReplyDeleteGMman
You may have worded the first comment wrong. However, when it was brought to your attention regarding Darrin (which is the correct spelling by the way), you said that "The SOB put himself down by making statements on The Watch Desk". If I were him I MIGHT accept an apology for the first comment (though you were referring to his Dad...and we know how YOU are about family), though the second comment could really be lawsuit material; libel. Probably a good thing you are dealing with this person because though he may get mad, he is not the sort of person to get even. You are correct, you owe ME nothing, though I don't recall asking for anything either.
ReplyDeleteJoe has wasted his sunday on here. Man I feel sorry for your wife.
ReplyDeleteYou say you spend all this time with your grandson, where are is parents? Where is the mother and father? Do they take care of their own child? Do you even know who the father is?
A large percentage of local firemen who are almost (not quite) exclusively white, and primarily from rural, good 'ol boy backgrounds, tend to be quite racist in their private views, or when they think they are giving opinions anonymously.
ReplyDeleteThis is hardly a news flash. Wicomico County, and the Eastern Shore in general, are hardly known as bastions of progressive views.
What is the solution?
More aggressive recruiting of minorities?
Sensitivity training?
Though privately held, these views are not publicly expressed, so how are you going to punish them for disliking, or not respecting black people? What are you going to do to make adult men with ingrained social attitudes "not racist"?
You're great at describing the problem. What's the solution?
Poor Joe. Would rather diddle on his computer than diddle his wife.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to that the anonymous commenter who for the very first time asks for solutions.
ReplyDeleteThe answer, (IMO) lies on educating each and every Fire Fighter. There are local companies that can in fact do so and the City has hired them in the past for sexual harassment problems.
Another anonymous commenter ragging on me about my poor Wife and then our Grandson. What a man you are.
ReplyDeleteLike I said Folks. Tear up each and every one of those envelopes whenever the Fire Department sends you one for donations.
Hit them where it hurts the most and when they straighten things out over there again, then start supporting them. In the mean time, let them prove to you they have changed. If they don't take classes and stay in denial, well, throw those envelopes away until you're satisfied.
Guys, you keep taking the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Let the man post whatever he wants, and say what he wants. It is only one mans opinion. If you stop feeding the fire, eventually the flames will go out. By getting on here and firing back at every post and comment you are allowing him to keep coming back for more. You all know that sometimes silence speaks volume.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you think I've been alone spending my afternoon on this Blog, try again. The hits are through the roof today, thanks to some pretty loyal visitors. The funny part to me is that so many of these people are reading this and thinking, I'm throwing away that envelope and they're not getting another dime out of me above and beyond what I pay in taxes.
ReplyDeleteSadly though, they'll get Fire Fighters trying to now keep tabs as to who made donations and who didn't so they know who's house to put out the fire at and others they'll treat like me and say they'll wait a while before they show up, if they ever do at all?
Hey, you said it, not me.
all i have to say, is if you all hate joe so much why the hell do you all go to his site???????? if he pisses you off that much don't read what he has to say, i go everyday just to see what he posts, and alot of it i believe is true. just like his headline says either you love em or hate em, just like the blogs in daily times, seems like some people have nothing better to do then bitch and complain, if you dont like something dont read it. and seems like to me with all this fire shit, joe is hitting a nerve, to me seems like he is speaking the truth and you so called ff's dont want to hear it, so get a life and move on, and it is true how most of you ff's screw each one of your so called buddie's wives or g/f. and call blacks n***ers, just like the salisbury's finest, all f***ing dogs, well anyway, had to say what i had to say, and joe i may not like some of the blogs you post but i do go to your page everyday to check out what you posted and have been for the past 6 months and my first time posting a reply, sorry these asswholes just pissed me off today
ReplyDeleteThe way I hear it, he stole his grandson from its parents.
ReplyDeletei forgot to say one thing, if you hate joe so much omg leave his wife and family out of it, she didnt do anything to you, this is all sounding like middle school bs, and if you are all suppose to be big tough ff's just tell joe to fuuck off and leave hin alone. what goes around comes around. and to me seems like you all spent your sunday bitching at joe. lmao
ReplyDeleteSo Joe,
ReplyDeleteI'm a SOB for implying you are a racist. Is a racist only one who uses the "N" word? Definition for racism/ racist- A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. Yes the "N" word is racial but not the only thing. Aren't you discriminating against Eastern Shore Fire Fighters? Definition of discrimination- Treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit. You use this sensationalized topic to drive your traffic and only lower yourself to the "level" of what you say you dislike. Some still believe the better man to be the one who steps up rahter than step down.
GMman
Joe,
ReplyDeleteYou say you speak the truth about everything! All I have witnessed on your blog is you cutting down every hard working agency that you are against, meanwhile you have information about other agencies you do like, yet refuse to mention! Clean the dirt off your knees and stand up for whats right!
Children, children.....
ReplyDeletePlease.....
Joe,
ReplyDeleteI think they're just goading you into something incriminatory.
Just don't respond, would be my advice.
I wonder how many of these post are no more than 1 person arguing with himself or herself on here.
ReplyDeleteSplit personality disorder or what ever you want to call it.
Redheads give me the squirts
I know one person that fits that bill and their initials are, J. R.
ReplyDeleteJoe said, "Hit them where it hurts the most and when they straighten things out over there again, then start supporting them. In the mean time, let them prove to you they have changed. If they don't take classes and stay in denial, well, throw those envelopes away until you're satisfied."
ReplyDeleteGo ahead, stop donating. If I don't have the equipment to do the job, then I won't be able to put your fire out or cut you out of your car. Simple enough! We could always raise the taxes some more to get the required funds.
New to your blog here, pointed out to me by a co-worker, someone with family and friends heavily involved in local volunteerism. I'm not sure why you're so down on VFD's. I hope you never have a fire at your home, but if you do, my money's on the people you've been running down, that they'll put all this aside, show up anyway, and risk their lives to save your property, no matter what you've said about them, because they take their work and their commitment seriously, as a matter of honor. Maybe then you'd understand their value to the community and have some respect for them.
ReplyDeleteRob Nichols, Allen.
Rob,
ReplyDeleteI thank you for using your real name. Very refreshing, unlike many Fire Fighters not man enough to do so.
Nevertheless, perhaps you should look back at how this all started and the racial remarks, (mainly the "N" Word) they use daily around the Fire Department and then you'd understand.
I have no disrespect towards any Fire Fighter, Volunteer or Professional. I have all the disrespect in the world for those using that word and then denying it completely as if there's nothing wrong with it.
Please educate yourself before you attack me on how I feel. Also remember, I'm certainly not alone in my feelings or thoughts.
Welcome to the Blogs.
I saw lots of acrimony on both sides of the debate, and it was a lot to backtrack/drill down while taking a quick break from work, but will take you up on that and look further tonight. Thanks, Rob.
ReplyDeletewho exactly is using th "N" word on a daily basis around the firehouse. Im around there alot and havent heard it as you say.
ReplyDeleteI guess next you will telling of klan meetings at the county stations or some such jibberish.
Seriously Joe, you need to watch out on how you put all volunteer firefighters in a bad light. My family has in 3 gererations and put over 110 yaers in the SFD vol division. Volunteers' sole financial support comes from the mail in the form of public donations, we need this to exist and serve this community. Not all orginizations are perfect, there are some bad apples in all of them. But when and if the time comes that you or any of your family needs us, we WILL be there to help save your lives or property. By the way I do not drink, smoke or condone racist actions. Signed, Wagonmaster
ReplyDeleteYou did lie about the old fire house deal in Pittsville Joe. You know that was bs. How is the "million dollar pool cue" making out in the Smithsonian?
