"Interesting Neighbor News today. In Letters to the Editor, Russ Jones berates and basically holds VORT responsible for all the terrible things that have been said about him. He goes as far as to say he "...was directed to the Voices of Rockaway Towship (VoRT) website. After clicking on the message board subject line, the words appeared..." ONCE AGAIN, IMPLYING THAT THIS BOARD WAS PART OF VORT'S WEBSITE.  This message board is no more a part of VORT's website than is the Christ Church site or nj.com, which are also links. (Unfortunately because of these sorts of accusations, VORT had to remove the link so the general public no longer has access to this board. Very sad.)

The fact is, VORT was the first to announce this board, and it's run by VORT supporters.  Also, it was clear that VORT members got preferential treatment on this forum.  If there was nothing wrong with all that, then why was the sticky removed, and why did VORT remove their link if there was no connection?

 

He goes on a considerable tirade, going into overly morbid detail about the tragic accident that killed his son.

I believe the morbid detail started on this forum when several posters thought it appropriate to attack Jones over this tragedy.  In Lisa's "defense" of Jones in that thread, she doesn't chatise those who attacked Jones, but simply suggests that there might be some truth to the attacks, as she tries to remain neutral.  Then she has the audacity to go on and make an additional attack with the allegation that he was an insurance cheat.  Some "defense"!

 

He denies ever being on disability. Not only that, he never worked out at the gym; only taught classes.

I believe these facts could be easily proved for anybody who had the notion.  I guess Lisa is lucky she wasn't making such allegations against Craig Maier.

 

Then he closes by describing "...the degree of hate encouraged and supported by the leadership of VoRT" [several times he names Lisa specificially--what's WITH that, Lisa, you must have some kinda hold on these guys!]

Objective observers have seen the hate from the first large meeting at Copeland.  This is not a shocking allegation, simply the truth.

 

Then, knowing that now all bets are off, he "comes clean" (somewhat vaguely) about his criminal past ("...68 funerals, alcohol, drugs, shootings, stabbiings, overdoses, more car crashes, biker gangs, etc...") and how now that he's a Christian, his crooked days are behind him.

Again, no new allegations here either.  I've heard that he's been openly confessing his past at his presentations for years.  I don't think it has anything to do with "all bets being off".

 

 The best part is, when you turn the page, all of Russ' rants fly out the window, because Lisa's "hate" is discussed in an article praising her extensive charity work for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy awareness. Wow, Lisa must be a real slimeball, we'll take Russ' word over hers any day.

Because someone works for a charity organization, they can't harbor any hate?   CC is a non-profit and does lots of charity work.  I guess all the arguments here of Ireland having bad motives are completely moot then.  Thanks for taking that issue off the table.

You obviously don't have a fine grip on the English language.  Compare our writing styles, their not at all similar. 

Why would Jones post anonymously if he bothered to post at all on this forum?  He has no problem putting his name to the many editorials that he's written. You think he'd hold back if he posted here?  LOL!

Just get the point through your head:  There's more than a handful of people in town who see VORT for what they are.

You miss the most glaring point....

RUSS! YOU LINK TO THE MESSAGE BOARD, TOO! WHY ISN'T IT THEN YOUR MESSAGE BOARD?????

Did members of Rockaway Truth get preferential treatment on this board?

'Nuff said.
