Letter to the Editor: Attacked

STORY TOOLS
Share on Facebook

To Mr. Monte Lazarus, Marco Island Planning Board member: Sir, your recent letter to the editor attacked me personally for having exercised my American right to criticize city councilor Wayne Waldack’s performance on the Jolley Bridge issue.

Every man is a damned fool for about five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit. In my opinion, Mr. Lazarus, I’m afraid your letter joins you to Mr. Waldack in the lack of that particular wisdom. Marco Island deserves better.

Russ Colombo, Marco Island

Hector "SOUR GRAPES" Columbo, the only winning team you ever player for was the US Air Force.

Mr. Columbo, some people don't always turn the other cheek. You often strike first and cry like a baby when people fight back! It's time to be a little objective, the world doesn't revolve around you.

It seems to me that Mr. Monte Lazarus was too, exercising his American right to criticize you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you are very,very lucky, someday you will meet a couple as bright, genuinely nice people, who haven't been afraid to state their opinion or be honest in their feelings as Linda and Russ Columbo. As Russ stated, Councilor Kiester has not always agreed with me, so I am responding to say that it is okay to agree to disagree without animosity.

I send this blog in part to defend the right of the Lazarus's and the Columbo's in their respective rights of free speech and the ability to agree to disagree on various city issues.

Please, let us all remain true to this principle, and avoid personal likes and dislikes. I now shake hands with both John Asceri and Monty Lazarus (it took me awhile)even though they were the ones who filed charges against me regarding the accidental deletion of emails.

The point is this: we are all in this together and should not send blogs which are directed to undermine those who dare speak out, especially if you are one of those who are afraid to identify yourself when you post your comments.

Mr. Kiester, everyone knows that you INTENTIONALLY DELETED the emails. Let's face it, you didn't want all of the nasty and conniving emails between you, Davies, Hall, Neylon and others to be made public. Meanwhile, all of the other councilors were dragged through the mudd by Hall and their emails posted in Sanchez' website for all to read. If you had any dignity at all you would have resigned. I am going to start a recall campign against you becasue you ARE guilty of MALFEASANCE!

Mr. Montel, please post your evidence of collusion between me and any of the recent candidates for office and/or Godfrey Davies. Godfrey was, in effect, my campaign manager during my election in 2006. The reason you haven't found any of the recovered emails between he and I is that there are none relating to local politics. As he stated to me at that time, he supported the person not just a particular issue, e.g., he was onboard with me prior to my coming out against the STRP. Ask former Councilor Tucker about Godfrey's integrity in that regard. I would be interested in his response if you have the backbone to share it with the rest of us. Come on, tell us your identy as well. Chuck Kiester

Mr. Kiester, you are wasting your time. You are writing to the same person. All of the above comments by sailor, montel and themessiah are the same miserable writer using different names. They are too similar in content and message to be coming from different people.
