@Evansville Taxpayer: I was reading some of the earlier articles and see you posted your usual fiasco list, once again including the Fall Festival booth fiasco. Would you please explain to us in detail how that particular fiasco went down again? I’ve forgotten the story from your and Rick’s viewpoint. You go first, then I’ll tell the true story.

  @Eville Taxpayer: Now before you type it all out, I want you to check in with Rick to make sure you got the facts straight from the horse’s mouth, okay. I would hate to see you misrepresent the facts.

    What makes you think I share a viewpoint with Rick?
    
    Why don’t you just post your dispute with “[my] fiasco list” and that one specifically if you have some point you want to make?

      So, not even a repeat of your “under cover of darkness” story of the so-called Fall Festival Booth fiasco? Now I’m sure you know the version you and other Rick Pickers have been telling is false.

        Please explain “[My] ‘under cover of darkness’ story”…

        I’d love to hear the official story…please do tell us your version, it was my understanding that the trailer was moved at night, was it in broad daylight? Did they take in in for repairs? or was there another reason to remove the trailer from the fall festival?

Glad to see an agreement has been reached. Would like to know what the details are. I for one am looking forward to going to the Icemen games in our brand-spanking new “The John Arena”.

CCO: I propose, similar to the old adage “get a room” when a couple is getting a bit amorous in public, that the CCO make available a virtual “room” when two or more posters start flailing away at one another over the upcoming election, my candidate is better than yours, your candidate’s mother wears combat boots, etc. The CCO can then gently move the posts to the “Election Room”, and real political junkies can feast there. A good way to “corral” all of the election swagger, and keep topics like the ERC, Ice Hockey, Arenagate, etc. on topic.
