Interesting.  You make my point for me.

Any marital problems between Kathy and I had absolutely nothing
to do with the BCFD.  I had not even mentioned them, yet you
decided to bring them up because, apparently, I was disclosing
too much about the inappropriate behavior of you and some of your
buddies in the department.  Yer smarting from that a bit, it
would seem.  So you try to get back at me by attempting to
disclose what you perceive to be some "deep, dark secret".

Nobody kicked anybody out of anyplace.

Now, if you and yer buddies "sat on it for a long time" (whatever
"it" may have been), that mighta been exactly what all of you
should have done since (1) it didn't involve the BCFD at all and
(2) it didn't happen as you described it (I'm comfortable going
into it, to explain more fully, but it would be somewhat hurtful
to at least one of the local businessmen who gives you boiz a
discount at the local liquor store and I don't see that as
particularly benefical).

The reason that I posted this to the other groups was because I
was somewhat hoping that some of them might think it was
something of a Good Idea (tm) to suggest to you that these
activities do not reflect well on them as firefighters.

I posted to this group so that the locals might have some
information to suggest that they should not put blind faith in
you and your friends.

I know of one local who knows you from other circumstances.  I am
sure that, under different circumstances, you are a fine person.


However, with regard to the BCFD, you come off as a baffoon when
you lie and try to support the stupid things that go on, there.

You can change that part, if you are man enough.  It could go a
long way toward improving the reputation of the department.
