Ron, I would say, without reservation, that you have put, by far, the lion's share of work into this idea of forming a group to help DCHS. Since it is a volunteer effort, people will come and go for various reasons, I know you find that dissatisfying, but these things will happen. What efforts you decide to put into this project, are for you to decide. I have decided, that Sycamore, Pauls and AZ's ways of thinking are such, that there would be continual conflict at group gatherings or otherwise. In Sycamore's second post above she says she does not take things personal, but her first post says otherwise. She uses words like " vilified " in describing how she veiws my responses to her. Thats just the kind of exageration that I don't want to deal with. More exageration, trying to imply in her second to last paragraph in her first post above that somehow, any of us have ever suggested that people should be allowed to access the springs by ways that are not legal, that predators, whatever she means, are encouraged to access the springs, that we make it our mission to denigrate Mike Castro or that we make it a prerequisite for group members to agree with allegations against him. More exageration, she imply's that somehow when I indicated that she has a propensity to not give negative feedback to those here on this forum that also enter through the Bowen Ranch she suggest that I, by my words, have said that she is involved with a top secret conspiracy or hidden agenda, I never said anything of the kind. Now Sycamore may say that all her inuendo's in her first post above were not meant for me, she makes her points, mentions no names, so she can act as if her comments were general, so that means she's not aiming her content at anyone in particular. I do aim my content at the person I am making my point to. Sycamore tends to make her statements general, in this way she trys to avoid being labeled as a name caller, she can always sidestep someone if they say her message was meant for them. Ron, I did feel like we were making progress toward this group effort, I respect you Ron, and if being in this group would mean interacting with sensible people like yourself, I would be interested in the project. I just beleive that when it comes to Sycamor, Paul and AZ, thier biases to side with Mike Castro and thier apparent disdain for the public who attempt ( without getting vandalized ) to use the open routes, will continue to be a disruptive element for futher progress of this group.
