I would ask permission from Nick first if I were you...you may be skating on very thin ice!

Well I've only been away on holiday a few days and it seems that as soon as I go away the actions starts-so where can I begin?
A considerable amount of planning has gone on to ensure the Leisure facilities are world class.

Well I am a little puzzled as to what your definition of 'considerable planning' can be Bob as it seems to fall short of what develpers normally would call 'considerable planning'. On January 22nd this year Bob stated "Every effort will be made to redevelop Dreamland as a modern amusement park facility."
Then on the 29th of January Bob declared "Plans to keep the majority of Dreamland as an amusement park have been dropped in view of the latest research which clearly shows that it will not be viable." I am no developer but I do know that "considerable planning" for a site of Dreamland's size takes longer than under two weeks so are you now telling us that proir to this announcement you had beening lying to us? If you want to get the Save Dreamland Campaign onto your side telling us blatant lies won't do it Bob.

There is no oppostion to them so I don't know where you are coming from on this.


Well I oppose plans that do not involve retaining the entire site as an amusement park so there is opposition now (please note I was prepared to compromise until very recently but you recent lies have lost my good will.)

The Save Dreamland Campaign is not a formal recognised organisation and has no formal structure.

That is interessting as the Thannet Gazette seem to recognise it. It is interessting to note that according to their website over 83% of people think the entire site should remain an amusement park.

BOB.


WE DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU!

WE CANNOT SUPPORT YOU AS WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T ANYWAY!


TRY AND GET THIS INTO YOUR HEAD. IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. BLACK DOES NOT TURN INTO WHITE BY NAUSEOUS REPETITION.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NEITHER THE CAMPAIGN NOR THE PEOPLE OF THANET AGREE WITH WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE SAYING.


LOVE,

TAFFY

If Bob is brainless enough to say that the Campaign is backing their plans on any advertising, he won't so much be skating on thin ice, as drowning in icy waters.

I have been less than complimentary about the man's intellect in the past, but surely his stupidity does know some bounds? He must know us well enough by now to guess that we wouldn't allow libel to pass unnoticed.

If you are silly enough to take court action please feel Free to do so. It will cost you a lot of money and you would certainly loose the case as it is a statement of fact. The post is on this board as evidence. Sorry Sarah it you who are loosing your marbles. I suggest you are in urgent need of a dictionary. Still please feel free to sue for libel.



Just to remind you here is the post

"great news for dreamland great news for 2006 and great news for margate , plus the ghost of margate may be comming back another big wheel , and if located in the same possition as the original it will be like your in heaven and will bring back so many memories , with the big wheel gone at the end of the 1997 season , we havent had a wheel or big wheel for 8 long years , i cant wait to see another this year if there sucsessfull in getting another one"

So it is a truthful statement of fact that Save Dreamland Campaigners are enthusistically backing us.

You will get knowhere with court action trying to sue for libel because there is no libel there.

Bob telling me I need a dictionary! Lol.

Bob your post said:

This is not a statement of fact, it is complete fiction.

So it is a truthful statement of fact that Save Dreamland Campaigners are enthusistically backing us.


You keep referring back to that one post by dreamland, so I guess the statement of fact here is that one Campaigner has expressed enthusiasm about the park opening this year. To say that he is "backing us" is not a statement of fact either.

Now we've cleared that up, perhaps you could explain something to me. You've antagonised, angered and upset any number of people on this Forum over the last few months. You have made provocative statements and been less than honest. Tell me, how is that helpful to the developer's cause? And do your bosses know or care that you are making sworn enemies of the very people who care most passionately about the site and who would, in the right circumstances, be of most help to the developers?

Just wondering. Have not lost enough of my marbles to expect a straight answer though.

Interesting to note that the person who started this past has no made a reply to any of Bob's crazy claims.

Perhaps dreamland would like to respond to this thread now that it appears his/her initial comment is being misappropriated, or - could it be - that dreamland (who joined just a few short months after Bob) is just another developer sycophant? I hope the latter is not true, of course, dreamland, and would be interested to hear your point of view.

This is an open forum, so Bob could easily create other users who then enthusiatically support - erm - whatever it is that Bob's masters are proposing (anyone know yet?)

'Dreamland' to the best of my knowledge has no connection with Bob or the developers. He is a longstanding campaign member and attended the Save Dreamland Convention in 2003 and other campaign events.

Bob's recent form is the best yet!! I can't wait to check what the latest load of rubbish he writes is!!!!!! I didn't realise he doubles up as Perry Mason with extensive legal knowledge. His naievety and lack of expert knowledge knows no bounds. It doesn't stop him 'blathering' however, which is very entertaining for us. Go on Bob. Go for it.... ....?! Marvellous stuff.


I've been telling everybody I know to follow your hilarious rantings. You are gaining us great momentum and generating such interest in this campaign single handed.



Thanks,

Taffy

PS FOR THE RECORD. WE DON'T AGREE WITH YOU AS WE DON'T WHAT YOU ARE ON ABOUT.

This certainly gets more entertaining as each day passes. If Bob's naivety regarding legal matters and general stupidity were to be measured, I think you'd need to use the richter scale!

Great stuff this...


Are you blind? There is one comment praising the season length (as if anyone believes that or your opening hours) and a wish for the return of the big wheel.

If you believe this shows support for your plans of potholing and windsurfing with a craft fair and shop or whatever it is you are onto now, you are sadly deluded; and not for the first time.

WE DO NOT SUPPORT YOU BOB. ONE MESSAGE WHICH ARE YOU UNSUCCESSFULLY TWISTING DOES NOT GIVE YOU ANY BACKING FOR ANY PLANS YOU MIGHT CONCOCT. SELL THE SITE TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

KEEP AT THOUGH.

I can't wait to get back and see the next posting.

Please answer my post Bob-WHY THE LIES?
You told us about a month ago that the development company were planning to keep the entire site as an amusement park so why did you lie to us? Lying will not help your cause.

Sorry Sarah it you who are loosing your marbles.

Whether Sarah is loosing her marbles I do not know. If she is, she has just started as clearly at present most of her marbles are still there. Unfortunately you have either lost all your marbles or never had any. If you do put on advertising that the Save Dreamland Campagin supports some plans we haven't even seen yet then we will take you to court. If we stand no chance of winning you won't mind will you?
So it is a truthful statement of fact that Save Dreamland Campaigners are enthusistically backing us.

Get your plurals right. One campaignm member is supporting plans to open the park this year. That's all there is to it.
I suggest you are in urgent need of a dictionary

I'm afraid it is you who needs a disctionary. Wasn't it you who thought that appeasement and compromise meant the same thing?

No, didn't think you'd be as gentlemanly as to answer my query Bob.

By the way, your press release would benefit from a light proofread. You can borrow my dictionary if you like. It would also be improved by a reality check, but I think you're beyond assistance on that one.

Sarah

PS Did a quick marble stock take this morning. One had rolled under the bed but, apart from that, all present and correct. Phew.

There is one simple solution to this issue of Bob's bogus claim of support, and that is for 'Dreamland' or Nick to edit (or drop) the posts. If they don't exist in the public domain or are totally non-ambiguous, then all Bob can have is a copy of something he claims was up for public view, which of course would have been so easy to forge.

Simple, if Bob thinks the posting gives him support, then drop it!
