Written on Letter to the editor: Nothing to fear but fear itself?:

Ed Foster does not need a gun to threaten people. He spreads asbestos around the island for fun. He now has a bucket full of asbestos in his garage in NC.

Written on Letter to the editor: Recall Councilman Kiester:

Ed Foster is not a "bad man"; he is just totally insignificant. He can continue to write stupid blogs from NC but no one really cares. His team was crushed on January 29, 2008. CRUSHED!
Ed, please continue to write these blogs. The more you write, the more people figure out what a stupid, ignorant and insignificant person you are. I truly feel bad for NC for the first time in my life.

Written on There from the start: Tucker, longest serving Marco councilor, to step aside:

Ed Foster is not only a non-resident liar; but he is also an insignificant particle in the dust bin of Marco Island history. Marco Islanders shall never forget the hundreds of thousands of Dollars Foster and Neylon cost the taxpayers.
As far as educational credits are concerned ED; I will be happy to compare mine to yours any old time. I was out and about Marco Island all day today and it is peaceful; it is quiet and it is beautiful. The ugly stench which polluted this beautiful Island for many months has lifted since you were flushed down the toilet on January 29, 2008 and transported through asbestos-free pipes all the way to NC. January 29, a day which will be celebrated with fire-works, marching bands and thousands upon thousands of toilet flushes into the new sewer systems for many, many years to come.

Written on There from the start: Tucker, longest serving Marco councilor, to step aside:

Ed Foster: You have zero credibility on this Island. Have you been eating the asbestos you took with you to NC? It sure sounds like you are along with the crow you have been eating. Your team was destroyed in the elections, which by the way were fixed by the business interests on the Island. Monte Lazarus voted at least 1000 times.
You are a meaningless grouch; you silly little clown.

Written on Sewer hookup violators get their day in quasi-court:

veridicus and OldMarcoMan:

I have Ed Foster's answers to your questions:

Have you ever done anything fOR this City? NO
Ever volunteered? NO
Been on a City Committee? NO
Helped at the School? NO
Cleaned Tiger Tail On Cleanup day? OH! NO!
Offered your time for any local Philanthropy? NO

Where is the asbestos Ed?

Written on Letter to the editor: Let’s help Chuck:

What a great joke Russ. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Written on Editorial: Marco Island City Council:

Ed Foster: Do you know why your LTE may not be printed? Because you and your words and ideas are totally irrelevant. You do not understand the Sunshine statutes yet you can not help yourself and write a bunch of meaningless words. Read my lips loser; Sunshine statutes apply to comminications between elected officials or those selected to advisory committes. You can write as much of your trash as you wish to any government official. No one cares. However, if you are a elected official; you better not delete your emails as they are all subject to Sunshine. You are a sore loser. Your candidates were decimated and thrown into the trash bin of history. I think it is time you shut up and leave us alone.

Written on CARES drops latest case against city:

Now it is the City's turn to sue CARES and Foster on behalf of all Marco Island taxpayers for wasting our hard earned money with frivilous lawsuits!

Written on Collier judge finds Marco council member guilty of records violation:

marco facts; good posting. putnam, byrone and karenglaub tried to destroy OUR YOUNG CITY but were CRUSHED by the SILENT MAJORITY. They lied, they misled the residents but at the end they were simply CRUSHED! Kiester deleted emails helped by Neylon and lied about it. He was found GUILTY by the court. An honorable person would have resigned on the spot! Columbo's letter to the editor was a disgustingly clear example of what these people are all about. Comparing Marco Islanders to Hitler and the Nazis! How dare you write such garbage?

It was the worst of times; and it is the best of times for Marco Island. The future is bright. Let's move forward.

Written on Guest commentary: Former Marco manager weighs in on election:

bbyrone: SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! YOU NEVER DID. YOU NEVER WILL!

Written on Letter to the editor: Speaks volumes:

russ colombo owes all Marco Islanders an apology for calling them Nazis.
yes Mr. Colombo; Mr. Schwartz is brilliant, unlike you. I think you are under the influence of your buddy Mario Sanchez who sees Nazis and dreams of Hitler invading his house on a nightly basis.
Marco Islanders spoke loud and clear. You LOST! You lost on your petition; you lost with your slate. What part of this don't you understand?

Written on Collier judge finds Marco council member guilty of records violation:

dc5799: I know who you are and you are the real jerk. How many different names do you use?
Sal is a hero. He reported a crook.
Kiester must resign immediately.

Written on The Farmer File: A manager of two cities? Why not?:

sunnycity: the 3X5 mile island is valued at around $10,000,000,000.00. That is ten billion Dollars no matter how you look at it. Paying a qualified person $ 250,000.00 to manage ten billion Dollars in assets is a bargain. By the way, it is a 6X4 mile Island.

Written on Property purchase deferred, Goodland development OK'd:

Lolala: Are you still here? How much louder will Marco Islanders have to speak for you to understand?

Written on Letter to the editor: Thank you fellow Marco Islanders:

Is this the same Kiester who deleted his emails, publicly acknowledged doing so and now asking for funds to defend himself?
Is this the same Kiester who was so sure that his four buddies from oblivion were going to be elected that he asked the Council to delay certain votes "until the new council is seated"?
Mr. Kiester, it is time for you to stop talking and start listening.Marco Islanders sent you a loud and clear message on January 28, 2008.
A historic day for Marco Island.

Written on Pro-sewer candidates win Marco City Council election:

hawke1: I guess you still did not understand what happened last night. I have little hope that you ever will. A vast majority of Marco Islanders REJECTED the hate slate. It is over. Your side lost. Get over it. Try to live around positive people who love this Island and who want to make it better. Progress can not be stopped. Politics of hate, doom and gloom never works. Learn to have trust in your fellow citizens.
I woke up to a brilliant Marco Island day, feeling great and can not wait to get to work. A beautiful Marco Island day without a bunch of signs littering both sides of the road; without the ugly sight of pick-up trucks carrying ugly signs greeting visitors at the bottom of the bridge. What a relief!

Written on Pro-sewer candidates win Marco City Council election:

van: you just can not help yourself can you? you are a big loser. So you think it is Jose who grinds the light poles? What if it is Tom? You were fooled by Foster, Hall, Neylon, Sanchez and Davies. We were not. We won, you lost. Time to clean up the Island and make sure this never happens again.

Ed Foster: Sorry old man. The voting machines were rigged, voters were bribed and as a result, the smart people won.

Written on Letter to the editor: Don't vote in anger:

hawke1: I believe everything I say and yes, I will encourage an audit of all expenditures contracting activities surrounding the STRP as long as you agree to pay for such an audit. Since I am satisfied as a taxpayer with the expenditures, I do not need to have taxpayers money spent on a such an audit.
Neylon and friends have really brainwashed you, haven't they? Too bad!

Written on Letter to the editor: Don't vote in anger:

van: watch your mouth old man. Can you ever make a point without getting nasty and all worked up, using capital letters, etc.? You made some serious accusations; now you want the attorney general to prove them. It fits with the rest of the picture. I suppose you threaten people and when they show up; you call your friends to fight your fight! How cowardly!
Of course you have a right to believe what you want; but you have no right to make baseless accusations publicly. Can you see the difference? I guess not!

Written on Letter to the editor: Don't vote in anger:

van: what corruption are you talking about? do you have any proof? before you make such claims, check your facts.You probably have none. If you can prove any corruption by any one of the councilors (except for Kiester who deleted his emails and is already under investigation) come out with it and I will personally help you put him or her in jail! can you do it? Or are you just another big mouth with no facts?

Written on The Farmer File: A few days left before we determine island’s best future:

hawke1 take your business elsewhere. no one needs your money. drive to naples before you shop marco. take your miserable friends with you. waste gas. pollute the air. threats against businesses never worked on this island. we have seen the likes of you come and go. mostly go.

Written on The Farmer File: A few days left before we determine island’s best future:

bob brown is not a resident of marco island. his comments are useless and not needed.
and for the rest of you; shooting the messnger does not get you anywhere. Don Farmer does not need to prove anything to you or to anybody else for that matter. You are nothing but a bunch of geezers with nothing else to do in life but to complain about everything. get a life.

Written on Elections complaint lodged against Celebrate Marco:

Hawke1, do you have a problem with wealth? Or wealthy people? Are you promoting class warfare?

Written on Letter to the editor: 24 years of experience:

van: can you stop making personal attacks for one second? Try to respond to facts with facts. Ed Foster is the biggest joke in the history of Marco Island. He has no facts; only allegations and empty law suits (he lost every one of them);finally he moved away. Now, he is trying to sue the Supervisor of elections; first because his ballot was late one day; then because it did not have a privacy jacket. Is there anything this guy does not complain about?

Written on Letter to the editor: Perversion of logic:

Roger Hall has no facts; he makes them up as he goes along! We need leaders not liars. City Manager never said he had a video of anything. Can Roger Hall stand up, look you in the eye and say someone he knows well did not plant the asbestos? Where was a bucket full of asbestos found?
Marco will survive these people.

Motu: Get a spell check program.

marcoobserver: Can you name the special interests you keep talking about? Who are they?

Hawke1: How do you know those people are honest? Did you check their backgrounds before making such a claim? What business skills have they proven to you? Neylon? Business skills? That is an oxymoron!

Written on Legal defense fund established for Marco councilman accused of public records violation:

15yearsmarco: Good question. If you are really interested in the answer, here it is: Tucker deleted the emails without opening them. Kiester admitted deleting them after reading them. That is a big difference in the eyes of the law.
You may personally not agree with the response but it is legally correct.

Written on Legal defense fund established for Marco councilman accused of public records violation:

hawke and 15years marco are not familiar with the sunshine statutes. I suggest you check the details on the internet. Tucker and Trotter did not violate Sunshine; Kiester did and he will be punished for it. I will gladly sign a recall petition to recall Kiester since he clearly violated the statute.

Written on Elections complaint lodged against Celebrate Marco:

Ed:
Who will you sue next? The Supervisor of Elections?
The poll is still on but it was rigged by the Eagle so it is invisible to old fools like you who try to vote from North Carolina.
Here are the latest numbers. Once again you are caught spreading false rumors and asbestos from your bucket.
Joe Batte 6% 35 votes
Jerry Gibson 17% 92 votes
Andrew Guidry 6% 33 votes
Roger Hall 6% 34 votes
Butch Neylon 7% 38 votes
Frank Recker 18% 98 votes
Bill Trotter 18% 99 votes
Wayne Waldack 18% 95 votes
524 total votes

Marco Islanders are smarter than you.
Obviously, we do not believe in these polls.

Written on Letter to the editor: Election 2008:

Byron Erickson you are just too funny to be taken seriously. You continue to make unsubstantiated allegations. You continue to call elected officials names. You are so negative; you could actually be melting down! Who sued the City? Who tried to have a recall election? Who booed and hissed at every Council meeting? Who put our government under siege? Neylon and Hall maybe? Ed Foster? First you and your friends created an atmosphere of ugliness on a peaceful Island; you called people liars; you ran around threatening citizens and now you want change? Yes, I also want change. Change will come with Recker, Trotter, Gibson and Waldack. And not soon enough!

Written on The Eagle endorses Batte, Gibson, Recker and Trotter:

Answers to lolala:

1. Recker, Waldack, Gibson are Marco Island residents. Neylon admitted to being a resident for only three months.
2. Making a fool of yourself, shouting and booing a minister at the City Couincil never qualified anyone for office, anywhere.
3. They have thousands of supporters who want to return to peace and tranquility on Marco Island.
4. Civility is what they stand for.
5. Trotter was never recalled. If you do not understand the difference between being recalled and asking for a recall election, you should not be running for office. Did Clinton get impeached?
6. These candidates do not have to show up for your so called "forums". They showed up for the forums that count.
7. Who is Hall? Where does he live? How long has been a resident of Marco?
8. Who is Guidry? Other than his diapered appearence on a sleazy TV Show, no one heard of this opportunist.
9. Who is Neylon? Someone who does not believe in paying his employees what they are due. There is nothing lower than that.

Your candidates represent absolutely NOTHING; other than to stop the STRP and bankrupt the Island.

Ed Foster: You are wrong once again but keep on guessing.

Hate is not a political agenda. Neylon and Hall represent HATE.

Written on Marco City Council candidates answer questions from the Eagle:

van: are you threatening montel? i don't believe you want to come eyeball to eyeball with anyone let alone montel.
be careful what you wish for.

Written on The Eagle endorses Batte, Gibson, Recker and Trotter:

Neylon: We know you are lolala so cut it out. Trotter was never recalled. There was a petition to recall him but it failed. You do not recall an official by collecting signatures you moron!A recall election is held and if the general public wants someone recalled then they will be recalled. You guys not only LIE; but you are all pathological liars and minions. The City is not controlled by anyone. People who do not believe in Democracy like you make these stupid allegations. You do not want to listen to facts; hear the truth or give anyone a chance to speak. You steal political signs from buildings, threaten people with violence or loss of their business; boo a church minister and scream like pigs in City Council meetings.
There is nothing wrong about owning a business and making money; most businessman I know are honest, decent and hard working people; they do not screw their employees out of money like you did and they also pay their taxes like you did not!
You and your ilk will not be elected; your own supporters are beginning to see you as the liar you are.

You have at least 5 aliases in this blog site and you accuse others of doing the same. Just because you are phony and a liar does not mean everyone else is just like you. You admitted publicly to being a full time resident for only three months (3 months) and you want to change Marco Island?

Written on The Eagle endorses Batte, Gibson, Recker and Trotter:

The Eagle was a wonderful Newspaper when a certain reporter was the personal pal of a certain candidate. As soon as he left; things turned sour for the negative bunch! So now, the Eagle is a bad paper owned by the Real Estate interests!
By the way, marcoobserver; do you own a home on Marco Island? If you do, you should be a part of "Real estate interests" group.

Written on The Eagle endorses Batte, Gibson, Recker and Trotter:

A VERY WELL BALANCED AND THOUGHTFUL ENDORSEMENT.
THANK YOU EAGLE EDITORIAL BOARD.
IT IS TIME TO HEAL AND EXTREMISTS ARE NOT WELCOME.
MR. BATTE IS AN OPPONENT OF THE STRP BUT HE IS NOT AN EXTREMIST. HE REMINDS ME A LOT OF MR. FORCHT WHO IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND A MAN OF HIS WORD.
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT ALL REASONABLE MARCO ISLANDERS WILL COME OUT AND VOTE FOR TROTTER, RECKER, GIBSON AND BATTE.
LET US HAVE PEACE AND MOVE ON.

Written on Letter to the editor: Cast a vote for accuracy:

Supporters of the anti-sewer candidates are like the followers of Jim Jones in Guyana. They will drink the Kool-Aid no matter what. Stop trying to convince them otherwise; they will not listen. They have shuttered their ears to all facts and figures and are following their leader into the septic tank. Only thing the reasonable people of Marco can do is to gather as many votes as they possibly can to avert this approaching disaster.

Written on Guest commentary: The truth about utility rates:

Butch Neylon is a total joke.
There is not an iota of truth in anything he says or writes.
Has anyone questioned his residency on Marco Island?
Has anyone questioned his background?
Has anyone questioned what his qualifications are?

More to come...

Written on Local hairdressers get on the cutting edge:

oracle: You are a coward along with your friend Mario votemarco. If you were half the man Rob Popoff is; you would walk up to him, look into his eyes and tell him what you think about his family. Have someone call 911 before you do that; you will need it.

Change your blog name to orifice. It will suit you better.

Since you no longer have pool service; you must be swimming in your septic tank along with the other septicheads. That is where you really belong!

Written on Recall effort on Marco dies on appeal:

Roger Hall is a born loser. Those losers who followed him will have their noses rubbed in sewers before this is all over. Hall and Foster have lost every lawsuit so far and they must be forced to pay the city's expenses. City Councilors: I am demanding that you force the issue and make the losers pay back every penny you spent defending yourselves. It is taxpayers money that was spent; let there be no mistake about it.
