: : Hi, everyone .. including 'help man':
: : There's no point in being less than civil on the board, "help" man and others ... so if you want your posts on the messageboard to stay in place, you'll want to either tone down the catty rhetoric or at the very least sign your name. Whether or not you agree with someone's tactics in resolving a property issue on the island, there's absolutely no call for being rude via an unsigned post.If you're talking about Charlie and Barbara Melot, let me say there are no finer and intelligent people anywhere in the world.I've knowm them for 20 years and they're never off the mark.Take heed with what they say, they have only the Island's interest at heart, which is more then I can say for you and your misplaced loyalty.You made Harbour Island visible, I hope your satisfied.
: : Let's just hope that the Dickies and the Melots get together and discuss the situation.
: : Kimberly
I think an apology is in order.I've been reading the board for the past month or so and like you all have been watching the land grabbers gathering on the horizon.Suffice to say I've been coming to HI for almost 20 years and again like you are very fearful of the future of your home.I want to continue the love affair.In a effort to strike out in favor of all this, I stupidly and carelessly vented my anger in the wrong direction.I have no excuse except to say I shot my mouth off without having all the facts.I blamed the Briland web site and its staff for making the Island visible.Since then, Kimberly, in her gracious and patient way has straightened me out and filled me in with the facts I thought I had but tragically didn't.I'm deeply sorry for the thoughtless remark I made on the board and want to apologize to all those I offended. I guess my intentions were honorable ,but horribly mis-directed.I hope we can get thru this and that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.Again, I want to apologize to the people of Harbour Island, around the world and above all to you Kimberly.
