No way.
I don't know the issues in HPP that you're talking about, but I was looking forward to getting to know you a lot better, Pete. You seem well connected to the Hawaiian culture and the culture of Puna, and that's what I'm really here for, besides help or advice with building/buying/moving. No sarcasm or cynicism, straight up, I was hoping to learn from you, punapetah. There are others here who I will learn from, I'm sure, but I like your style.
Besides, this is America. If you're doctor tells you you need to take it easy, that's one thing. For some local politician to try to stifle you, well, I'd be gettin' all Patrick Henry on that dude.
Whatever. If your health says you need a break, I wish you well, and look forward to your return. If Mr. Golden boy is the reason you're bailing, please tell him to pound sand.
How do I know?
