I gave you some good advice: Not to write me. Some folks seem to enjoy pain, so I will most certainly give you some of what you so clearly desire.
First, I haven't seen any evidence of an apology to Mr. Barbee, a stranger to you, who you repeatedly insulted in emails he did not want.
Where is it?
You talk about your friends the Barker brothers, and with the highest regard for them. That is certainly your right.
So since you persist in pushing them, let me ask you a question or few.
1. Why do the Barker brothers persist in their efforts to back with cash and a biiiiiiiig mailing list in the multiyear attacks on our organization?
2. Why do they and you support Coon & Pappas & Kronenburger, who were expelled in disgrace, about which there was and still is plenty of documentation to support the KWVA's LEGAL disciplinary actions?
3. Considering the avowed purpose of the 'Dickerson Slate for 2008,' who can explain your loyalty to the cause of the destruction of the KWVA, since you seem to be so proud of your part in the beginning, whatever that was (I haven't heard anything specific from you on that)? You did attend some memorial celebrations. Congratulations on that.
4. Why are the Barkers making it so personal? They are NOT QUALIFIED OT ENTITLED TO BE KWVA memmbers, and they never will be. So why are they in this fight? You should also know that there is some dispute and disagreement(and documentation)about their role in contributions to memorials.
The Barkers, on the other hand, have an organization of their own that could use an influx of cash, I say that because whenever they are afraid they might be sued, they declare & whine they will go bankrupt. I know it's speculation, Mr. Smith, but think of the math: 17,600 members X $25.00 per year. Got it, Mr. Smith? So if they get all uppity and outraged when you pass this on them, as I'm sure you will, you and they should just remember that one of them served in England; and if I have it right the other has never even been in the service. So both my questions and my speculation on a possible motive are fueled by simple logic & reasoning. Excuse me if I don't seriously consider their motives are because of some noble devotion to Korean veterans, especially when you consider the record of the companions they keep, and the actions they have committed.
You seem to assume that because you were there at the beginnings of the KWVA, that gives you some right to speak for the organization, with a higher standing than other members. You only have what I have: One lifetime membership card with dues paid, and one vote in any national election. THAT IS ALL.
Listen to me sir. You have an unseemly record of arguing with people who know more about the subjects about which you pick a fight.
You assailed Lee Dauster about the insurance. You may not know that insurance has been his profession. You argued with Robert Banker about the way he handled his job, my guess is you don't know anything about his skills, or what his job entailed, either. That is a bad habit, Mr. Smith, that is to be ignorant of the facts you dispute.
Give it up sir. You are beginning to really piss me off. My Mother was Dutch, and my Father was Swedish, and persistence is my long suit by both inheritance and choice. I will hang in there with sharper and sharper questions than in this email, and sooner or later, you will have to give it up, that is unless it is impossible for you to inflict too much humiliiation on yourself.
That skill was sharpened by teaching Traffic Violator School for over six years, and each week I encountered better arguments from my students than any of yours, at least so far.
What that means, sir, is that you can count on me not to give up in the defense of what I believe, or myself personally. I may even go to Dallas to see if your word is as good as your mouth is loud.
Remember, I speak here only as a KWVA member and a U.S. Citizen.
I am not an
officer of the KWVA, and I only speak for myself, althoughI believe there will be a few members who think as I do, and will approve of what I have said here.
So, give it your best shot, Mr. Smith. It's for certain I haven't seen it yet.
