Gracie,
Since I don’t have the time to visit this forum frequently, I apologize for the lateness of my reply to you and do hope you will overlook the time that has elapsed between your post and this reply.

For the purpose of separating “fact” from “fiction” with respect to the “ shower incident” would it not have been more prudent (on your part) to simply pick up the phone and contact someone in TV who might be in a position to either corroborate or refute the details that were provided in the post rather than (for you) to interrogate the poster (Promiseskept) when in fact she clearly stated she was hoping to find answers on here (TOTV).

Would it not have been more judicious (on your part) to simply wait for the veracity of the incident to be either confirmed or dispelled instead of immediately countering this rumor with an equally serious rumor.......whereby you impugn the character of PK by
insinuating that she is a “stooge” for a “less successful, jealous developer” who is intent on destroying TV?

Gracie, this is not the first time you have introduced this rumor and in my opinion I think this tactic is hurtful, unwarranted and unproductive in the pursuit of truth.

I dare question your loyalty to TV and you are certainly a prolific poster on TOTV. In fact , sometimes I wonder if the pretty lady next to your name is actually Gary Morse in disguise! Seriously though, I do implore you to stop attacking anyone on TOTV who dares to address anything unpleasant (such as a lack of security) in TV.

In one of your posts you implied that those who want to discuss problems in TV are “ranting.” I do hope that was a poor choice of words and does not reflect how you really feel because if you don’t first admit there is a problem (such as a lack of security in the ladies locker rooms) then how can a viable solution be offered and implemented?

In conclusion, I do hope in the future whenever someone introduces a serious subject on this forum that you refrain from the “jealous developer” theory and other innuendos. Regardless of whether one lives in TV (as do you) or is contemplating moving to TV (as am I) let’s do try to keep in mind that we all want a safe place in which to reside.

I certainly mean no disrespect and offer the following advice as constructive criticism when I say, Gracie you can only cry wolf so many times before people stop taking you seriously.

Your honor,
I object to Boogie’s statement on the grounds that it is incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial to the discussion of this thread .

Furthermore, it is tasteless, devoid of any semblance of propriety, not to mention just plain dumb!

Annabelle, You really are a piece of work! There are lots of folks on TOTV I'd like to meet some day. ... You are NOT one of them! Not sure what your agenda is, but your posts have gotten very personal.


OK.... Now you can hammer me too. I would consider it an honor to be in the same company as Russ, Bogie and Gracie.

Default Sounds like a wee bit of "my way or the highway" presentation

of subject matter...no other thoughts, opinions, possibilities, interpretations or conclusions allowed.
The first amendment contains no gaging for being right or wrong...last time I checked.

I agree! Surely we can act like grownups and allow people to post their opinions even though we may not agree with them. There is a difference between criticizing someone's post and criticizing the person who wrote it.

Duh! That's why I asked her what her heart (read: gut) was telling her. I agree with MEMason on this one.
