Hi Wellknown, where's Patrick tonite? Nice to see you back to short sentences after that essay. See, by choosing the right words in an economical fashion, your point is well, more to the point. whatever point that is.

Why do you keep calling me a coward? I know you are trying to insult me but that just plum don't make any sense. A coward for doing what?

Wow, you all are STILL going on about this?

"For hiding behind that computer and insulting everyone for the last 6 months...Coward."

Ah yes, the old "I want to meet up with you so I can look you in the eye because every time I post you point out how wrong and poorly thought out my post was." argument.

Please tell me what other way that one can communicate here if not via computer? So, what you are saying is that everyone here is a coward for hiding behind their computer. There was that lawyer who wanted everyone to use their own names and you see how far he got. He never came back to his thread. So, please tell me, tell the world, how we can communicate here if not by computer. I don't think any of us, even you, wants to be a coward as you suggest.

Getting back to the now gone sign, does anyone actually know the story behind what was going on there? Was it a business that is now out of business or what?

The horse is dead....walk away

Boop either forgets people actually got out of their houses or wasn't born before the dawn of cellular phones and the internet.

Go ask them yourself Boop. Then you can tell the owner how you single handedly tried to bring his business down.

Funny how you still have to ask what it was all about, even after your past diatribes on how bad it looked.

So Patrick, you don't know about the status of the "business". I was asking those of you that seem to know so much about this man's business and all you can do is take pot shots at me? Hmm...you are not here to have a constructive discussion about this, are you?
'
As far as bringing his business down, why didn't you get out there and help the poor fellow? Wave signs for him, set up a Twitter and Facebook account for him to connect with tool aficianados, what did YOU do for him?

Awwe.. did I hit a nerve, Boop?

Typical if a vindictive person to try to turn the tables... You have no clue what is going on in there yet you still attempt to destroy a mans business. I don't need to do anything. I'm not the one with something to prove.

Go knock on his door, walk in, ask. Or does your mother still have to do everything for you?

By the way, you never did answer my previous question (twice before). How did you manage to tank two businesses downtown? Or did that strike a nerve too?

Hmm... what happened was that I attempted to "destroy" his illegal sign by making people aware of it...and I did. Really could care less one way or the other about his business.

You, along with wellknown, are the ones that "want to meet people". You seem to be bent out of shape over this sign. Is it your business that is/was in there? Simple question-why is it so hard for any of you to answer? Do any of you armchair quarterbacks know what is going on with that tool business? Having an illegal sign couldn't have brought down a business- you just redo the sign to comply.

BTW Patrick, what have you done for the betterment of the community?

You'd be surprised... But unlike you, I don't need to blow my own horn. Those who know me, know what I do, and for how long. Google is a good start, if you know where to look.

Your diatribe here can hardly be for the betterment of the community.

How'd you manage to tank 2 businesses downtown?

Patrick, in his best Sarah Palin imitation. An internet legend because his name can be found on Google. "Look ma, my names on the google!"

How'd you manage to tank 2 businesses downtown?

If you must...the first one sold for a tidy profit and the second never took hold due to a customer base that included clientele such as yourself that would not buy mini-muffins but... we still sold it at a profit. And I might add, all of our signage was legal with no 15 foot tall letters. I'm sorry you had to close down your tool business.

Trust me, there's noting in this town you could sell that I'd want (like your mini muffins) or could get from someone with ethics.

If you really want to know what I do, keep looking. I'm not a hard person to find. You just need to use that little brain of yours. It's not that hard considering the interviews I've given, articles I've written and all my talks before the Board of Supervisors. It's all on record. Keep looking.

Good luck!!

Hey Patrick...WHO CARES??? The thing is, if you want to make up any story about writing articles, giving interviews, blah, blah, blah...you can...because no one but you knows if you are telling the truth. Whatever fantasy world you want to live in is fine, but really...WHO CARES??? And, if you have all these credits and accolades for your "famous" life, why are you bragging about them here... to about six people who could care less? Go ahead and give us your full name so we can judge how famous you think you are.

I am happy to report that the Tools sign is back. Granted it's not the size of the side of the building, but there is a new TOOLS sign replacing it. There is also a 'sandwhich' type sign on the corner of Copeland and Washington advertising their business.

Gee Boop, I guess you didn't run them out of business like you claimed to have done single-handedly.

Yeah, I saw that. What a pit that place is, eh? Are they living in there too? Is it zoned residential? Legal unit? Do they have a business license? Are they squatters?

I saw that sandwich sign too...out in the roadway. Let me repeat that, their sandwich sign was out in the roadway. It's like they are begging to be cited/shut down. They are singlehandedly making that part of town look like a holler. Looks to me like the Clampetts want to take on the city. He Haw! Giddyup!

Thanks for bringing this back up to the attention of everyone on page one! Good move OldPetaluma- no need for me to run them out of business, you are doing a pretty good job of that by pointing out their illegal sandwich sign in the roadway. Any cops see that sign? It's a traffic obstruction and is a citation-to-be.

Who are you going to get shutdown or make to move out of Petaluma I know how about Khols I mean really they are not a local business. I guess its time for some mini muffins..
