1) F.Y.I I do believe the "Anonymous BarfinPB" is the founder of Friends of Kate Sessions Park...what's her name, Cathy Anzonio or something like that. 2) You said Carolyn "Changed" the report...she used the word "few" instead of "several"...cut me a break! You're grasping here... 3) Opinion? I don't see any opinions. I see quotes and facts. Hey cronies, time for new bifocals. It's about time someone opposed you cranky old, subversive, fuddy duddies. 4) The word "repeatedly". There were 6 meetings. Cops were present at several. Cops "repeatedly" said the same thing.— April 10, 2010 6:19 p.m.

SDaniels, You really think so? Thanks for the compliment! Maybe I'll embark upon a new profession and start stringing, too! Freedom— April 10, 2010 2:23 p.m.

Many of you guys are moronific! 1)CuddleFish - AKA "THE MASTER OF SHOWING IGNORANCE ON A PUBLIC FORUM" You are hilarious! Once again you have your facts all WRONG. You act like you're the authority on all matters, but you repeatedly get it wrong! I was at the meeting. Were you? Nope, you weren't. How can you, in good conscience,(and hopeful to maintain even a molecule of credibility) say that the author "got it all wrong"? You weren't even there. You haven't been to any of the meetings. You, yourself aren't up to date with the issue. Yet you come on here and barf nonsense. Just to catch you up "MASTER" on reality, this well written article accurately represents what happened. The author got it all right. She just wrote things those "handful of busy bodies who want to control people" don't won't you to know. If you're so brilliant why didn't you cover the story yourself? Does it boost your ego to get on here and post uneducated, inaccurate rebuttals to issues you know nothing about? Careful, your moron is showing... 2) Refried - Man, you're brilliant. You get it. You're right on! Love you, man. 3) Escort Latex - Excuse me, I need a drink to talk to you. Ok. You must be the guy that brings his infant to all the meetings for dramatic affect. You must have selective reading and hearing bodily functions. The cops made their statement. It's in all the documents at the meetings, and, it's in this well-written, unbiased article as well and here it is again in case your subconscious, self-serving mind blocked it out: "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.” It's just a FACT. But, it's a fact you don't like because you want your way. And you're prepared to dramatize and misrepresent incidents in order to get it, in order to sway the unaware public, and the unaware councils. You can find this FACT, the author has included in her article, on the hand-outs at the biased council and committee meetings. AND, NO ALEX THE MEETING WASN"T POSTED ON FB! Do you need glasses, or is this disorder genetic? Also, Alex, your comment about the HILARIOUS moment at the meeting when someone addressed the LACK OF PUBLIC PROCESS regarding notice for the meetings. She was right. And your immaturity is obvious by the fact you found it humorous. The public process IS lacking. Public Notification IS a problem. Can't believe you can't admit it! It's almost as if these councils don't want the public involved. It's a bunch of old cronies representing a youthful community, hosting outdated ideologies, and most are HYPOCRITICAL, including yourself. I suggest you get THE BIG PICTURE, as the author of this article has done so, SUCCESSFULLY...and that's what pisses you off most. You know she's right, but it won't help your self-serving case, will it?— April 9, 2010 8:06 p.m.

Correction to post # 1 by BarfinPB Original Content: "Nice op-ed piece Carolyn. There are just a few things you left out. Public notice – you forgot to mention that there is a Facebook page dedicated to the issue of alcohol at Kate Sessions Park with 1856 followers and notice of this meeting was posted on it 10 days before the meeting by your featured speaker. Ooops." Corrections: 1)The FB page you referenced has only 883 members not the 1,856 you inaccurately posted. Details, details. 2) There was NO MENTION OF THIS MEETING on that FB page. 3) You must be one of those handful of complainers who attend the meetings, or perhaps one of those busy-bodies wanting to control others, because that's exactly what THEY DO at these meetings! Like you, they exaggerate and lie and pretend there are problems where there aren't just to get their way. They say there are all the incidents when the police say there aren't. And on these forums you can sometimes get away with blowin your fabricated cookies until someone like me bothers to check the facts. OOPS!— April 9, 2010 3:03 p.m.
