I had hoped that my wishes for keeping comments on target and civil would have been adhered to. Good gosh, I've asked enough times to stay on message, and be civil with your comments. I have also asked on more than one occasion that there are people who do not deserve to be talked about in the fashion they have been, i,e wives, children, fringe players, and so on.
Today it appeared that things got carried away with regards to comments concerning our caretaker. He is not, will not and wont be a party to this. He has done a masterful job, balancing his responsibilities for Lakeside, and the awkward position he has been put into with this mess, he does not need this notoriety.
You may or may not agree with this blog, or what I have attempted to do, I am cool with that. If you have a bone to pick with me, comment, that's what it's there for. It's easy to hide behind the mask of anonymous, and another to take a position and identify yourself. I thank and appreciate those who have.
What my uncle has done is pretty obvious, what I have tried to do with the help and assistance from my sister, is to highlight the difficult position we were forced into. This should be a wake up call for all who share joint ownership.
I was very tempted today to close the ability to post comments, or force you to identfy yourself, I didnt. I really want to know your thoughts and feelings. Just keep it open and honest. If you choose to identify yourself, wonderful, it will add greatly to this forum, if not then, please keep it honest and pertinent.

We'll try, Blogmaster.
Thanks for keeping your cool.
If comments don't actually make any points, please don't publish them.
"Yes, I agree", etc. are just a waste of space.
Here Here! Some blogs won't post comments until it gets "moderated". Hiding behind an "anonyomous" posting is easy.. There is nothing wrong about sharing your feelings honestly and openly. Again..we appreciate your comments and welcome them but please...keep it cool.
As for posting anonymous, We all know that we all have to live together in Lakeside. I would rather have the option of being anonymous, so we can still have our thoughts on this blog without repocussions(sp?). You never know how far some people would go to clear their name. It is sad that some people say things that are waaay out there, but that's the way it is. This has been a terrible ordeal and an eye-opener for some. With any blog, you are going to get nasty comments and then again nice comments from still the anonymous. I just want to thank the Lee's and everyone involved with this nasty ordeal for posting your thoughts through the years. Some good points and some not so good points. I know you have tried your best in making this blog tolerable. I'm sorry also it's soon to be over. Sure was a fun ride. Thanks again and I really hope some people have learned a lesson here.
Sincerely,
The swamp angel
Swamp Angel, very well said. It is for that very reason that I choose not to eliminate the opportunity to comment anonymously.
I agree, it should be over soon, and so shall this blog.
Probably not as soon as you think. After being up north for a bit, it's clear that there are quite a few people who really don't get it. Protecting the cottage is one thing..leaving a legacy is another. Do we want to leave something to our children and their children that perhaps will be more of a burden than some realize??
It's too bad this blog has to end. It's also too bad that one person was so greedy as to go to great lengths as to slam his family to the extent he did. I hope I never ever encounter such a menace to society. You talk about leaving a legacy to our children and grandchildren. I most definitely would hate to be in his ever dwindling circle of friends and what's left of his immediate family. You just don't do what he did and still walk the paths of Lakeside that his grandparents,great grandparents walked without a hitch and a clear head. I'm sorry but the man is ill.
Hopefully this blog will not end, particularly during "cottage" season. It has helped many people consider their own tenants in common situations.
For the people "not getting it" wonder why? This blog presents the worse that can happen by failing to communicate and plan with tenants in common. It should serve as inspiration for cottage dwellers everywhere to get your sh#t together!
I hope this blog does not end.....there are thousands of families that will hit the "Tenants in Common Wall" sooner than they think....
No one wants to believe that there are creatures lurking in their families similar to Slymie....but there are!.....hopefully all the families with tenants in common realities will act now before legal papers start flying and their families divide...
But the actions of Slymie have resulted in immense damage to his immediate family as well a the peaceful Lakeside family.
It's un Lakeside behavior, It's un-American behavior.
Think what David's inability to sit down and talk with Josephine cost him? How many tens of thousands in court costs and legal fees? MOtion after motion- which rational people could have just communicated and resolved these conflicts without courts and lawyers.
Skirie and probably Mr. Meyers, made out like Chinese bandits!
Sure blogmaster, but I can't fathom why Carol would be off limits when her family trust financed this illicit confiscation of your cottage.
