I take very few things seriously. I also use this forum as a practice round for my next career as a stand-up comic.

I have no anger toward any bear, not even the friendly ones. If we meet, I will let him give me a bear hug.

The Forum is not a warm up for your next career as a Crips Enforcer?  An Equal Opportunity Employer.

In the meantime, hang on to your Day Job:

TulsaNow Forum Content Management for the MetroTulsa ChamberPots.

Apparently Mr. Busby's bias didn't affect the anti-taxers one iota. Busby did his job effectively, which was to moderate.

Apparently, the rather mixed group of TulsaNow posters' lack of fears about the forum was right, and F.B.'s fears about the forum was wrong.

By the way, F.B., you don't HAVE to capitalize every eighth or ninth word in your POSTS. Good, clear and nonpompous writing should render that UNNECESSARY.

Well, well, well.

Interesting discovery over at Our River Yes website, after all the vicious sniping I took from the usual TulsaNow ChamberPot Flacks regarding Mr. Ken Busby's BIAS as the selected Moderator of the River Tax Forum.

Under their Link for SUPPORTERS, whose name and quote do I find but:

Mr. Ken Busby.

Here's his endorsement of the Kaiser River Tax:

"River development is critical to Tulsa County from both a 'sense of place' – creating wonderful gathering spaces for fun activities, and from an economic development perspective – creating opportunities for businesses to develop certain areas of the river that will generate sales tax to support the infrastructure needs of our community."

http://www.ourriveryes.com/supporters/13.html

Ahem.

Here's my quote which they can add to their Our River Yes Website:

The rotten stench of privilege permeates the local ruling class, with basic fairness towards fellow citizens a quality patently absent.

The creepos defending Mr. Busby should be ashamed.

FB,

When did anyone claim Busby was not for river development?

Re-read the posts.

F.M., it's over. Get over it.

Time for Conan to get the dead horse out again ...

Did Mr. Busby inform the Forum audience that he was a SUPPORTER of the Our River Tax campaign, before he started moderating?

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for your quote to get posted.

And no one ever said Ken Busby was neutral.  Those of us who know Ken knew he could put on a neutral program as the moderator.  All of us understood he was for the tax, oh, lets see, 20-30 posts you made ago!  But, thanks for clarifying that misunderstanding one more time.

Oh, and Mr Busby said the reason he has TWO 2 two DOS TWO 2 signs in his yard is that he lives on a corner. Had he not lived on a corner lot, he would likely only have one, and thus not be offensive.

Repeat:

Did Mr. Busby inform the Forum audience that he was a SUPPORTER of the River Tax campaign, before he started moderating?

I thought you said you were there FB.  No he did not inform the audience.

This is nothing but a straw man.

The question is about Mr. Busby's bias.

REPEAT:

Did he disclose to the audience, before the beginning of the Forum, that he was a SUPPORTER of the River Tax campaign, before he started moderating the discussion?

Please, Bear.

Drop it. Everyone said he did a good job and didn't show bias.

He was asked to be a moderator and he said yes. He did nothing wrong in that volunteer role.

Please, drop it. You have gone from friendly bear to foolish bear on this.

What if FB is the sane one... and the rest of us are all crazy?

I am reminded of 2 quotes and a definition:

Quote 1:
"Never wrestle with a pig...you get dirty and only the pig will enjoy it."

Quote 2:
"Opinion is that exercise of the human will which helps us to make a decision without information."

Definition:
"Perseveration" - Uncontrollable repetition of a particular response, such as a word, phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus, usually caused by brain injury or other organic disorder.

FB, you weren't at the forum.  You haven't seen the video.  Your claims against Mr. Busby's qualifications as moderator are unfounded and absurd.

As they say in Italy: "Basta!"
