Comment History  | Tom, I am happy to hear you are not angry with me. Thank God. As far as the subject of Ms. Sammartino, I honestly have no clue what all the banter is about. I did read the comments relative to her being removed from the site and consequently your comments requesting her to be allowed back, but I don't have any knowledge as to why this all occured. Dude, I'm not here to fuss and fight. I'll leave that to others. I just want to enjoy folks like yourself and hear about the fun and interesting things going on in our lives. I consider those on this site friends to a certain extent. That includes you. |
 | I also think that Patrizia was not treated well , and I am her friend , and will remain so ; I have been fortunate enough to be friends with A good number of this group as well ; but this isn't up to me to decide , it is up to Gary ! He seems to have made his his policy known ! I don't have to like it , but he is the final authority , here on this site . But for any of us to stoop to being name callers to each other , is just plain Nasty , no shitty is the word ! And I for one don't forgive and forget , so easy ! So before we sink further into This cyber brawl , I ask all of those Here to please , stop ! For if we do not , we will surely all pay dearly ! Remember Napoli . All our friends , that didn't get a chance to ever see , much less know all we are still here To enjoy ! Andiamo tutti ! |
 | I'm not mad at you per se, Ed. I'm angry that so many of the people on this site seem so dismissive of cruelty and injustice perpetrated against an entirely blameless person. Ms. Sammartino was attacked for what exactly? That she didn't graduate from Forrest Sherman? I know a number of people who fail to reach that particular requirement. She's considered disruptive and strange? How do we know that? The " self-appointed hall monitor" has selectively deleted the comments that would allow us to reconstruct the conversation. What does Alisa Allan have to do with this? How about Cindy Montagnaro? What does Dave Flick's obvious animosity toward Lucy Bond have to do with it? Why did Lucy defend this woman? People find her comments strange? Have any of you considered that Patrizia is a native Italian speaker, and uses english as a second language? Was Patrizia known to members of this group from the Allied Teen Club at AFSOUTH? Carney Park? Was she invited to this group by Max Devivo? Who attacked her, and why did they do it? Why has Patrizia Sammartino been singled out for banishment by the"hall monitor". It takes two to tango, why hasn't anyone else suffered the same punishment? Who is anyone in this group to punish anyone else? The woman is entirely inoffensive in my view, and I don't tolerate bullies well. I want this decision reversed because it gives all of us a bad name. If others don't think that's important, well, I would suggest they're not very thoughtful, and their manners and sense of fairness leave something to be desired. |
 | James, just pulled up a map of California. I'm not well versed in California geography, so I now know you are north of LA near San Francisco. The wife and her parents went out there last year and then up to the wine country. I hear it's beautiful up that way. Maybe if I find myself out there for an extended stay, we could meet for dinner or something. I would enjoy that. |
 | YES! Someone gets it!!!!! With all the daily bs we go thru in our lives is this really needed?! Let it be what it is and whoever she is can deal with it and the consequences. Remember there must be a "reason" this " started" so whatever it is must be dealt with by the "leader" of the pack so to speak. Isn't that what happens in real life? We may not like the outcome but we deal w it! Ok lunch over....gotta run back to "deal" with" it" hugs and positive energy to all ! No I'm not weird just staying positive! SMILE...... |
Original Post  | It's no problem. Just put Patrizia back in the group and cut the gratuitous authoritarian bullshit. Right now. Who do you think you are? Dislike the conversation? Tough shit. Don't read it. |
