Written on Marco Community Bank shut down :

It's obvious that a few of the bloggers are bank hierarchy trying to defend and justify their mistakes! It was all greed, let’s face it, everyone at the top just saw $$ signs. Tony may have had nothing to do with the banks downfall but his dad did buy a distressed property from the bank for less than the owner, a single mother, had offered. This is a sad story known all around the island about the greed of bank and insider deals.

Now someone has the audacity to blame the residents and business owners because loans weren't repaid, this is disgusting to me. We are all hard working individuals struggling to survive. The bank made bad loans in a clasping economy. The Feds will iron this all out and I can't wait until their books are opened up!

Written on VIDEO: Police escort Marco resident away after he verbally bashes deceased councilman:

I'm laughing out loud at Putnams blog. John you are such a hypocrite asking for people to be respectful when it comes to Kiester and then attacking Tucker and Popoff in the same breath. I have a great idea, why don't you call Rob names to his face? I know him well and could arrange a meeting. In fact, I'm going to make sure he reads your blog above. I for one am proud that Mr. Kiester supported the naming. He showed real leadership and compassion. Mr. Kiester was the victim of a lot of Tuckers abuse. If he can put Tuckers crass behavior behind him why can't you all?

Written on Marco council blog: Resident gets police escort for speaking poorly of late councilman:

Sounds like they should have given him a breathalyzer before they let him drive home, it was terrible conduct. If Rob had allowed this kind of disrespect at council meetings then there would be more of it. He did the right thing by removing this reprehensible man!

Written on Letter to the Editor: Let the record speak:

There goes Putnam again on a crazy delusional tirade. You need to stop talking about or supporting Chuck Kiester if you want him to get elected. He was found guilty -- it's time to move on. The more inept people like you bring up Kiesters past the less likely it will be he gets reelected.

Written on Marco doctor charged with soliciting prostitution avoids trial:

Fossil, I cannot accept your reality; you are the most narcissistic individual I have ever had the pleasure of not meeting. All of your blogs over the years are one-sided; you do not have the ability to reason or look at others views -- it's your way or the highway. If you're married I feel for your wife because it has to be impossible to live with someone who is always right and always has all the answers.
Fossil, I have you figured out -- you are short, overweight and a coward who sits behind his computer in his underwear and insults anyone that disagrees with him. You are a small man in many ways. Real men have the courage to stand up and put themselves out there on the firing line for cowards like you to take pot-shots at.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Let the record speak:

Fossil, once again you show your arrogance; it wasn't your job to be convinced on whether he intentionally destroyed the records or not -- it was the Judges task!

All the same, I agree with Semper and I'm voting for Kiester.

Written on Marco doctor charged with soliciting prostitution avoids trial:

Fossil, I think reading your blog just made me vomit--yes, I just threw up a little in my mouth. You are chauvinistic and biased--pitiful!!

Did I say disgusting yet??

Written on Popoff: It's official, I'm not running for council re-election:

Rob won’t run again because his family comes first and these are difficult times for many young families. If he did run I assure you he would win and win effortlessly! His children are his life and why would anyone want such a thankless job with bloggers like smeg running their crazy mouths off. He was President of the Marco Island Charter Middle School board and too many other volunteer organizations to even mention. What have you done for Marco smeg besides use our dog park? Are you even a resident of Marco Island? MarcoFacts is right, read her previous blogs…she’s coo coo.

Written on Charter school officials find themselves on the defensive :

Putnam, you are truly an imbecile! Stay away from our children and our schools as you know nothing about our community. Also, please keep endorsing Sanchez because he is not liked and neither are you. You call us the syndicate but we are simply the majority. I do not want my name and address released by the school and I will fight it. I am also trying to get some community leaders to run against Sanchez so he will not poison our school!

Written on Mario Sanchez seeks parent seat on Marco Island Charter Middle School board :

MICMS PARENTS DO NOT BE FOOLED!

As a parent with children at the MICMS, please do not vote for this guy, he will not do anything productive for the school.
