For some weird reason my keyboard started working without skipping or injecting numbers and letters, making hard for you to understand many of my posts? Sorry technical difficulties.
Now,
Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words will never hurt me.
Finger pointing and all, syntax correcting, politically correct, incompletet truths, smoke and mirrors, doesn't take away from the facts I simply put out there for discussion. Too Deep? sorry.
I will not fade away, because, I live here. I may never post again here knowing it's restrictions.
I didn't even get into the meaty stuff about puna. Trolls? you must not have met the real ones living in the bushes throughout lower puna.
But I have no agenda, I'm not selling houses, lots, or handmade stuff on the web. I came to this site offering help, to nebies/burgluary victims . I'm done with all that.
I tried to disclose all that stuff that's isn't nice to talk about because that might deter someone from moving here.
NOT,..... that I think I can STOP anyone from doing so, NOR was I trying to do so.
Would just be nice if they weren't so dumbfounded to see how things work here when they arrive.
My personal opinions didn't tell any of you, that you "need to" do this or that. Unlike the free advice I've been give.
You think it's the laoud Uncle willy interrupting your party? Put a sign on the door "Private Wannnabe Punatics Only".
With the Ugly, listed below and the bad drain on my time and energies, there was a few rays of light that shinned through, and I give much ALOHA to you and you know who you are.
The "click" can remain in tact and I'll leave Rob'sweb/sandbox and go back to what I was doing like the other Puna residents who know not the exhistance of this cyber page.
QUOTES Directed Most at me.
Lots of ALOHA
fireant,"Learn how to spell American. If you can't spell it how do ou expect anyone to respond to this post sensibly."
Royall ,"Peter you are probably a nice guy. But your post come across sounding “Holier than Thou”.
Kahunascott,"You miss my whole point! For someone who wants to keep Puna rural your not!" ......." you need to come up for a breath and listen."
DanielP ,"This whole thread sucks! I wish someone would delete it."...."Rob,
And every morning I suppose that the drivel
will come to the front of the forum page. sigh."
Cali Hi , "Daniel and John,
Right there with ya.
It's kinda like a train wreck, I don't want to look but, I just keep checking even though I know it's just a lot of back and forth bickering that I dn't need to involve myself with. Just my own lack of self control I guess.
Cheers,

malolo ,"Hmmm. Well, that was certainly helpful/neighborly/constructive, Daniel.
And John? And Jen? Why give ammunition and/or credence to the ongoing charges of censorship?"

Musicman,"Anger: Yes I get angry, yet shouldn't I at things which I am upset? This is not a sin. I should have anger. I sometimes should get mad. This is human."
JayJay ,"Well Mr. punapetah, your're no messanger and your obtuse misrepresentation just above, in which you accuse a poster who objects to your self-styed pandering of being 'brainwashed,' then curtly turning right around by using the salutation 'Aloha' is mischivous and smacks of downright bad manners. You should take a long vacation. Go to other climes where those who show disrespect to the junta or powers that be are publically beaten, stoned, decapitated, ................"I believe I know everthing I need to know about you by your delivery of a basic lack of style coupled with poor syntax Mr. punapetah."
Rob Tucker ,"I've gotten weary of the opinionated B.S.that this tread is wallowing in. I'm locking it down for posterity and may use it as an example of bad art of communication in the future and of 'trolling' in general.

Rob Tucker,"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the singular intention of baiting users into an argumentative response."

oink ,"Rob,
I too thank you for your efforts. While I can enjoy a good debate or even a good natured argument, I support and heartily welcome your decision for stricter enforcement of your rules and desired decorum.
ps: I still reserve the right(?) to be a smart ass, on occasion.
Pua`a"
JayJay ,"Your're a case study in the results of political correctness Mr. Tucker. Let me ask you this. When you gather roses do you remove the thorns? I'll wager you do. Rather than allow a poster to object to the obvious pandering and machinations of a degenerate set upon demeaning Americans, your interest lies in preserving, at all costs, harmony in the words layed down here. You will allow no contention, and thus, you will never recognize the flame of truth. Such is your fear-based lot. When you delete me from this site ... you will be affirming my statements.
JayJay"
Kapohocat."Since this has been mentioned a couple of times - here are two examples -
Carolyn 2.1 posts per day
Me 1.9 posts per day
Neither of these are excessive (IMHO).
I could go on but (and I knew Carolyn wouldn't mind)... So when Rob said one person could only post 4 a day.."
malolo ,"Ha! Silly Malolo.
Apparently some some pretty serious pruning has transpired here recently.
Has punapetah been eternally banished from the membership, I wonder?
Or has he voluntarily removed himself from the forum/fray/fisticuffs?

And sometimes people would rather be oblivious, than to be faced with the truth.
Remember, and keep them locked up.
