PLEASE MS. FORD. I AM NOT ATTACKING OR THREATENING YOU. I am being neighborly nice in letting you know that if you wish to remain annonymus please be more careful in your posts. I do not know anything about you and Mr. Arnold. Please take it up with him. OMG do not blame me for your living in fear. I have no idea where that came from.
I have never ever posted what you have told me or I told you or whatever OFF LIST. That is why there is an OFF LIST! Now if you want to discuss these personal, private matters OFF LIST. I am listening. Please stay with the questions, K?
Where on earth did you come up with the idea that I thought it was you that was vandalizing my property? This is to weird. Again, Ms. Ford. Talk to me OFF LIST. This is weird stuff.
Phil
