Dear Johnston Family (aka Concerned Citizens of Kearney BLOG)

Here you go…get it out there!

Then turn up the ‘ridicule’ and ‘distortion’ machine…

We can hardly wait for the next episode.

We will also have much more to say…all in due course. [Oh yay...]

However, unlike your views ours will always be based on verifiable, undistorted facts!

The good citizens of Kearney deserve the ‘truth’…

Or as they well know…there two sides.

Hi Jim,

We hadn't received an email from you in the last 20 minutes and we were starting to get worried.

It's nice to see that despite all the proof you now have that the Johnston's can't possibly be the editors of the Concerned Citizens of Kearney blog (although they happily contribute, as do many), you continue to hold fast to your conviction. It just proves that, like so many from your neighbourhood, you're a zealot who will always put his own irrational beliefs before "verifiable, undistorted facts". You didn't have much credibility before, but so certainly have less now. If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with belligerence. Eh, Jim? You guys in Proudfoot should be careful not to drink the Kool-Aid.

And thanks for the Toronto Star article (you must be so proud), but we had already posted it last night. And thanks for the advice, but there's no need for us to ridicule or distort. The mayor does that just fine with the help of his friends.

And it's no wonder your website has been forever under construction with all this time you spend grinding out these diatribes! You need to prioritize, Jim. But then again, any chance to be the centre of attention, eh?

And let us know how your septic inspection goes.
