Can we phase in to the next phase of rephrasing other persons paraphrases?

I am pretty sure I have seen announcements from the GCC about donations to Gardiner Fire Dept. When they do fundraisers I recall them announcing/posting on flyers that donations will be going there.

This seems to me something done on behalf of the climbing community, and I am fairly certain that is the intent.

Yes Terrie you are correct. they donated money on at least two occasions on behalf of the climbing community.

Kent, it sounds like you feel as though the landowners actions were justified.

I'm sorry... but I was the unfortunate tenant of said landowner for 18 months and he's fuck'n crazy. There is no other words around it. There is only one reason why the Mohonk Preserve got a restraining order - he threatened them and they felt for their safety. No court would give a restraining order without just cause. Like I said, he's fuck'n crazy.

And THAT's your source? AHAHAHAHAHAH!

Mim,

Mental illness is no laughing matter.

And if said person is unstable, aggravating the situation with something like a quit claim deed to try and take his land on the sly is unconscionable. Just because someone has issues doesn't mean their assets, their property, is fair game for a large, wealthy, politically well connected, legally savvy corporation to take via trickery.

I don't feel that violence or threats of violence are justified under any circumstances.

Just to clarify: I'm not making fun of him, but of you.

Snap!!

Mim, there are many rumors flying around about threats made, but no one knows what was said except the people who were present at the visitor center at the time of the incident, and it's likely even they have different versions of what transpired. I referenced my source, when speaking of the incident, because he was there.

And no matter how crazy you think he is, he's a human being and a neighbor of the preserve and he deserves a voice. Remember the Mohonk Preserve used a quit claim deed to try and take part of this neighbors land. It's despicable conduct on the part of the Preserve. Under the same circumstances most neighbors would be at least a little crazy.

Also despicable is your willingness to throw this landowner under the bus in an effort to make fun of me. And so it goes between climbers and private landowners in the Nears, and elsewhere around the Preserve.
