Wake Up, Speak Up
Hey BarfinPB, It's a little late for my ideas, don't ya think? You'll most likely get your ban. Happy? You're certainly well on your way. You and you're steamroller committees have crushed the opposition, kept the matter as secret as you could, and tugged that rope a good ways in your favor during your specially designed 8 month year. And if it wasn't for this silly little article, no one would EVER KNOW! Damn her. Ethics, shmethics. It's the winning that's important! I'm sure you'll live happily ever after with that newly added notch on your politically incorrect bra, knowing that your private, oops...I mean PUBLIC park is now filled with only loud, tantrum tossing, diaper dirtying, screaming, annoying children...oh, there's an idea for your next ban. Children! They can be very disruptive you know...not to mention all that poop. I say get rid of em. I'm sure you'd agree. And if anyone could do the job... Hey, another freedom lost. Who can't feel good about that?— April 11, 2010 8:14 p.m.

Dear PB92109, You are getting a standing ovation. Hope you can hear it! Freedom— April 11, 2010 7:21 p.m.

Cathy of Friends of Kate Sessions Park a.k.a. BarfinPB, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? "WINK"!?! And, "ENUF?" It's enough WHEN YOU SAY IT'S ENOUGH, right. That's how your governance works. That's how you're committee works. Just like, it's time for a ban when you say it's time for a ban. This whole idea was YOURS! You initiated the ban. But you don't want anyone to dare question the facts in an attempt to bring light to truth. You can't even answer my question identifying the problem at Kate Sessions? It was your opportunity to SHINE, Cathy. Blew it. POINT MADE!— April 11, 2010 6:48 p.m.

Correction: Seems to me there are approximately 3 PEOPLE who SAY they are HAVING PROBLEMS with ALCOHOL consumption in Kate Sessions Park...— April 11, 2010 5:44 p.m.
Wake Up, Speak Up
Barfin, Are we talking about the REAL ones, or the ones you MAKE UP? Seems to me there are approximately 3 PEOPLE who are HAVING PROBLEMS with ALCOHOL consumption in Kate Sessions Park because their houses BORDER the park . TONS of PB residents have problems with the BARS they live nearby. The urination issue happens EVERYWHERE IN PB. Drunk driving happens EVERYWHERE IN PB. Noise is EVERYWHERE in PB. The SDPD has REPEATEDLY indicated that there have been “no exceptional enforcement issues, including alcohol, at Kate Sessions Park, with the exception of the July 4, 2010 holiday.” So, Cathy, what is the REAL PROBLEM at Kate Sessions Park?— April 11, 2010 5:27 p.m.

Barfin, You say you don't care about who I am, but you do, you clearly went out of your way to investigate Refried. So you do care on some level. You say, "Deal with issues and you have done your part in community involvement. I like that type of effort." No, actually you don't like that type of effort, obvious by your coments. Back to the self-awarness thing. YOU like the type of effort that is expended in AGREEMENT with your ideology of you wouldn't have said HALF of what you have. And it's not just about "dealing with issues". It's about HOW WE DEAL WITH ISSUES that counts. Especially for those with self-granted power over others.— April 11, 2010 4:36 p.m.

Hey Everyone, Barfin's posts are perfect examples of how she handles Kate Session Park issues! She misrepresents, misinterprets, misinforms and mishandles. Good thing people like her are running things round here!— April 11, 2010 3:53 p.m.
Wake Up, Speak Up
Barfin, There goes your imagination, again. You think I'm somebody I'm not, just like you thought Refried was Carolyn! You're hilarious!— April 11, 2010 3:50 p.m.

BarfinPB, Love how you speak "IN CODE" so you can't be understood.— April 11, 2010 3:36 p.m.

BarfinPB, I did some name calling myself. I can admit it. Not one of my best moments. With that confession aside...COME ON! It's SOOO obvious "PINTO" IS A RACIAL SLUR. It's a bean. Bean leads to "beaner". It's quite clear. Subtle, but clear. Seems to me you're incredibly lacking in self-awareness. Perhaps this forum is a good place for you to get your much needed therapy. You know, some feed back as to your being so OUT OF TOUCH. Also, how come you're the only one on here bitchin? Is this Ban for YOU? This Ban's for YOU, isn't it? It's all about YOU! I'm gonna go to Kate Sessions and have a beer, for the two of us...— April 11, 2010 3:28 p.m.
