I agree with your your comment, but not the context in which you chose to make it. |

This is why the WW forum went to a user id. I think the forum would be a lot more useful and beneficial if people were required to register. I am a member of sports forums and the discourse as a result is always civil. |
I'm not so sure. I used to use WWP Today too and preached exactly what you are. All the other forums I used has registered ID's and I said WWP should to. They finally did and it killed the forum. Have you been there lately? They get less than 5% of the posts they got before the registration. Given how few posst this place gets, I think it would kill it outright. Even if you say we can live without all the garbage and only use it for civil posts the reality is if there is only a new post once a week, no one will stay in the habit of checking-in, which is exactly what happened to WWPT. |

The bottom line is that Mr. Moody's request(s) have been met with a resounding "no." |

All of you seem very smug and childish. |
Probably true, but I think the same could be said of the letter by Mr. Moody. I would add the letter has a degree of mean spiritedness that was seemingly designed to get the kind of responses you have seen here. At times that letter was personal and nasty. I conclude that he gets a certain amount of satisfaction by getting people hot and bothered about his opinions. If that is what he considers enjoyment fine.
I however don't have to play Mr. Moody's sick little game. My advice to anyone who found the letter offensive is to make your comment and then move on. Someone is getting their jollies by having this discussion continue. |

Not to mention taking jabs at the volunteers who serve this town. |
This guy(Moody) just sounds like an arrogant nut job. Hopefully he won't be that much of a bother, but I have a feeling there will be numerous letters and appearances at township meetings in his future. |

Exactly. When I read the letter all I saw was a guy making a fool of himself in public. |

I hope the committee realizes that no further action is needed. This is just one selfish individual who cannot appeased. This guy(Moody) should no longer be taken seriously and the siren issue should be dropped. |

Shadow Oaks already has its fair share of whiners and complainers. |

Maybe that's one of the things you should have checked before moving into this town. I grew up here, not far from the EMT Squad and on days when the wind blew right could also hear the fire signal... of course we could also hear the church bells on those days so I guess those should have to be stopped. I don't understand why anyone who moves into a town can't just deal with what's there to begin with. The sirens and church bells never bothered anyone before, or at least not enough to make the TC compromise on the noise. You know what, you moved close enough to one of these building to be able to hear the noise.... DEAL WITH IT.... or there are homes for sale in Shadow Oaks. |

Dispense with people who don't volunteer for anything and complain about everything, once and for all! |

The TC, residents and voluneteers came up with a compromise and as a Main St resident I am very happy with the result.
In your letter you say that the sirens remain because the volunteers are friends with TC members. Well, can you imagine what the town would be like if we all did not try to be friends and instead acted on our own personal views? The town as we know it would cease to exist. The problems that this lovely town have had always centered on when people failed to try and work on a compromise and in the overall town interest. We succeed when we all come together.
To insult people for parking their car in a driveway is ridiculous. As a new resident (only a few years here) I can understand why people get angry with "some" new residents. If you moved here remember why you did so. If you moved here because you want it to be like another town then perhaps you made the wrong choice in towns. I have lived places I loved and places I hated. Those I hated I did not stay long in because I was not going to force my views on a community. |
