Beguiling important people in our community.

I know you all are coming to respect and honor Duane Dobson, Travis Landing’s now favorite stooge of Dick Thompson and supporter of “Everything is Beautiful ” President di Donato. These three are like peas in a pod, I have seen the happy Christmas Party photos proving to us it is all love and kisses.

So I thought it might be a good idea to let you know what Duane says to me in private. Here are two emails I received from him.

#1 – “First line of a joke
A durkhfall and a dumb cop where walking down a road – -”

The “dumb cop” is Charley Neal, my walking partner in the mornings, and durkhfall is German for ‘diarrhea’.

Here is a correction from him-
“durchfall is the German word for diarrhea
durkhfall is Yiddish slang for a flop or a failure. The fact that you got it wrong validates my choice. D

Here is one about Rona and I –

#2 – “Barry You could make a buck with your blog by running classified ads. EXAMPLE
Husband’s ship did not come in! Wolf is at the door and I must work to feed family! Overweight, old, uneducated, unskilled yenta seek high paying job. Please reply this blog with offers.”

I understand his need for inaccuracies, they are the basis of his ‘humor’.

It is my hope you start to understand that what di Donato and Thompson are telling you is driven by their common need to gain respect and cover up what they and their minions have done to this community. It is all propaganda perpetrated by some very sad people.

It won’t stop, they desperately seek redemption by making you think they are not what they really are. The power of soft talk, faked empathy, beguiling conversation, telling you what you want to hear, is all a con-job. Are you sophisticated enough to tell the truth from the acting? Or are you truly naive and want to believe what you hear.

WOW- hot new news, is it Dick Nixon or Dick Thompson – are there missing minutes on the tape of the Feb Board Meeting about my comments on the failure of the Nominating Committee? The Board better circle its wagons quickly. More later and more about Dick and his move to appear to be the savior of the community by becoming Treasurer, it may have been planned all the time to make him look good in your eyes while increasing his control and power.

The Survey The Board Does Not Want You To See

Many of you have wanted to see the Survey but could not find it.  Most of the Board did not want to publish it but they were forced to by the laws.  At the Annual Meeting it was delivered to you sugar-coated and summarized, praised, and made to look harmless so in effect it was “sent to Coventry” as the English would say.  Such is the way of politicians.
It is well worth your time for it says that regardless of the Boards claims, this is not the land of milk and honey and they are the reason.
But you need to see this for yourself and do your own critical thinking,  Question #2 on pages 3, 4, and 5 may upset you, don’t look at it if you happy living in La La Land, that is the Board Officers description of life here at TLPOA.
Here is how you get to the Survey:
First you must have user ID and password.  You can can get these from Margie New at  margnew@gmail.com .  If you are a property owner she can not refuse you access.
1 – Go to https://www.tlpoa.org/ to get to the “Home Page”
2 – Put your mouse pointer on “HOA” in the top heading.  You will get a pull down menu, click on “Forums”
3 – There are three places on this page to “Login”.  Two in blue print, one at the bottom in black, if you have logged in before this will take you directly for “Forums”.
4 – Otherwise you will be asked for your ID and Password, enter them.
5 – Again you will then put your mouse pointer on “HOA” in the top header.  You will get a pull down menu, click on “Forums”, then scroll down the alphabetical list to “Polls/Surveys” and Click it.
You will get a 26 page PDF that you can print if you like (uses a lot of paper and  color ink) or just print the pages you want to read later.  The keys elements are the comments are Pages 3, 4, and 5.
Good reading, I hope this gets you thinking about the power figures Board.  Some very skillful talkers there are hard at work convincing you that this is La-La-Land and you don’t need to do anything but follow them to be happy.  Reality is that whatever happens, in a working democracy you must form your own opinions. Good luck.

Didn’t Expect To Be Back So Soon

Hello, I have gotten inquiries as to what happened to this Blog.  Right after the Annual Board meeting I took all the old entries down out of respect for a ‘new board’, I didn’t think I needed to say anything about it.

Today my walking partner and I passed Duane who stopped us and with great hand jesters said ‘Maggie 2 – Barry 0″ and did his snicker. Neither of us had any idea what he meant and went on walking.  We then passed Maggie with the biggest grin you could imagine.
Then it hit me, of course they (Dick, Maggie, and Duane) thought they had chased me off with the threat of a Cease and Desist Order and were enjoying their victory.  Victory that is in cutting off what they don’t want you to hear.  After all,  ‘TRANSPARENCY’ is still their mantra, just listen to Dick.
Thank you, Duane, Maggie, Greg, and Dick.  You are wrong.  Your conduct requires a vigilant eye and this blog has not gone away.  Had not Duane spoken it would have remained blank.  Eventually you will provided me with more material, but again I want to give the New Board a fair hearing first.
As for Stooge #1, constant and persistent apologies at the meeting make clear his ineptitude, but then the Three Stooges will continue to follow the Master.  I see that mail in ballots were found at the postal box, neither the Secretary nor the Treasurer checked the mail before the Ballot counting.  Not enough to void the election but just a sign of the times with the Board Officers.  Oh yea, maybe we should get a audio system that works reliably, please check with Tom at the Yacht Club, I designed, built, and installed a great one there.
In closing let me make a guess and say that we will see Maggie back on the Board a the next meeting so that the Stooges can ride again.
More as the New Board gives me more material to write about. I am sure it will be soon.
Thank you for your support.
