I would like to clarify something. My up your nose comment was made in a very joking manner, The rest of the statement was and is true. I don't work for USM, I have no affiliation with USM. If the business leaders in the community there are concerned that I plan to come there and do personal harm to SFT, they can relax. I couldn't hurt a fly much let alone a person. Now Rattlesnakes are a different story, and I mean the actual animal, not a person who has a venoumous(sp?) manner to him or her.
Many of the comments made here are a source of venting. No one is planning to go postal in Hattiesburg, the posters are simply venting frustration. The comment was made that maybe Mr. Malone should apologize for his comment about lynching Mr. Walters. That was a threat, not venting.
Thank you for your participation on this board FSWWT, I for one am glad to see the communication between community and the university. There are two sides to every story and this presents the opportunity to hear both sides.
Patti, you shouldn't feel the need to defend yourself. Your postings were perfectly peaceful. I gave up on Courtesy Ford years ago, long before the USM debacle. I once got so upset when I could get no satisfaction at their shop, that I thought about driving the vehicle to Mr. Mixon's home, gently tapping on his door, and politely discussing my problem with him personally. Rejecting that as a course of action, I thought about placing a sign on the vehicle identifying it as a Lemon and specifying where it was purchased. I took neither of those actions, but the whole affair left a very bitter taste in my mouth. They never appologized to me, Patti, and you don't don't have to explain your postings to them.
