I don't know what that poster meant, but I'll join in here, and say that it doesnt appear that Gregory or Farris appear to be at all proactive about anything.  And I'm not speaking for either Bob, I'm speaking for myself, and I pretty much agree with that posts content.


You can't always have a "wait and see" or "I don't know about that" attitude, you have to make a decision and stand by it, even if it's unpopular or you ruffle a few feathers.

Joe Shelton took the bull by the horns on the skate park, and McBurney joined him, and now look at it.  No, the park doesn't bring in a dime, but, have you driven by that park, there's kids everywhere.  Not that's a sight to see.

It's the other way around Don, Bob and Bob Jr. voice their opinions, and sign their names.  Others choose not to sign their names, and if they agree with they say, then they post their opinions, which may happen to agree with the Bob's.

You're right about marlon and the "city girls" (who are they, i've read that reference before somewhere".   But, Joe Shelton held the commission's feet to the fire.

Gregory and Farris were waffling, they were afraid to commit for some reason.  Until the public got on their backs, they weren't for it. Strange how public opinion can sway people.

I know all three of the "city girls", and believe me, it's meant in the spirit of respect and the hard work they all do, collectively, for the city of corbin and the corbin school system. I know them all, and they are three of the finest, hardenst working and genuinely honest and sincere people in this town.  The term is one of affection and respect for those that know them, and they look at it as a badge of honor.  I won't post their names out of respect and their right to privacy, but, there is no disrespect intended. 

As a matter of fact, if everyone in corbin, and those that post on this board, had their sense of community spirit, and the work together attitude of these ladies, this town would be the envy of all those around us.

The term is used in the sense of endearment and affection, and above all, respect. 

If you met them, and came to know them, they are not the types that would worry about the issues that you address with regard to that term being applied to them. Their self esteem is of the highest caliber, and they don't need anyone fighting their battles for them.  Trust me. 

The reason you may think this, honestly, is you're on the outside looking in , and you just don't know them or the work they do.  That said, I'll end my part in this. 

I'd say the majority of the town are Terrell followers, except for the ones the previous poster just named (who is bubba).  And, what made them all followers were the antics and politcis of those you named in your post.  But, there was one more, but she is no longer on the board, so we'll drop her.

Thanks for clearing it up for us. You can call them the "NIBROC 7".

Maybe they are proud to be a part of the city, Wkugirl,

Not everyone in Corbin is a Terrell follower like you.

Many are tired of the Terrells bashing Carpenter, Marlon, Bubba, Gregory, Farris, Estep, Tipton and others who are working hard for the town.

When something like this is posted the IP address is banned. When someone blasts one of the above it is OK with the Terrells to leave it on the board.

Like someone said before, you may mean well but you don't have a clue.

You bashed the Terrells and it does not appear that you have been banned.
I don't object to them banning slurs and the demeaning of persons who are not in the political arena. You are crying and your mean spirited comments about them are still on.

So you have to take your laptop to another location.  You must have dozens of available locations that you can access at all hours of the day or night, and from the sound of it, every post you put out is blocked.  You keep posting, and you say they keep blocking you.  Sounds like you got one of the them devices that send your signals all over the place, like they use in the movies when Clint Eastwood was the secret service man tracking the assassin chasing the president.  .  Those are what drug dealers and terrorists use.  Are you a terrorist?  Are you trying to steal the Colonels secret recipe from KFC.?

The ideas above appear to be great but do you think these people have the time to put into each committee.  I never see them volunteering at any event.  That should be a big eye opener.  I have never seen Hammons at any Corbin event.  Hello!  It appears he only goes when money is involved to him.  Take another look around at who actually volunteers to work at these events. Those people are the bread and butter of your committees, if they are on them or not.  Yes they are the ones doing the work.

The above is a great post. You are right on target. Thanks.

For starters, I have taken off or modified personal posts made about Ron Bowling and Marlon Samms recently.

Secondly, I don't go around bashing Marlon, Ron Bowling (Bubba), Phil Gregory, Bruce Farris, or Wes Tipton. I have only talked with Wes a couple of times, and he and his brother has always been great to talk to. While I don't know them that well, Bob Sr. has always spoken highly of the Tiptons.

While we might not agree on a few things, nobody agrees on everything, and I have always had pretty civil conversations with all of them.

As far as Carpenter and Estep, everyone knows we have our issues, but from what I am told by many people, I believe the badmouthing has been from their direction.
