Wizard,
I heard the same thing about Mike's former association and activities with William. However, I'm willing to commit myself to an opinion: That what I was told is accurate enuf to be true. Fence sitting doesn't work for me.
My opinion also is that what Katrina has said here is less than accurate regarding ownership and road use issues. About the violence? It's a tough call. Although Mike tells me that in fact it was William's friends who broke into cars and blamed it on him. Notice in my posts, I've refrained from making too many comments on the "violence", sticking to the ownership issues where things can be more or less verified directly.
I don't base my opinion solely on what Mike has said, but also on what Katrina has presented in these posts as well. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks she's misled on the road use and ownership thing, for example.
Since she is jockying for position as our representative to the Springs, perhaps she should take better care when she posts material here. Better yet, maybe she should refrain from posting accusations about Mike alltogether. "Her" webpage prior to it's redesign is evidence of that point. The public from all around the world has seen her worst foot put foward and is wholly inappropriate for a representative of any group. I hate to say it, but that's not showing much leadership -- in fact, just the reverse. It appears to be very irresponsible.
