[ETSList] South Plainfield Labor Day Parade and FireworksVolunteer s needed

[Marty Goldfarb]

I don't usually say anything, but this one really got my dander up.

This guy sure sounds like he himself is an A*****E.

He may be right that there are problems with the Emergency Management in S. Plfd right now, but from the other e-mails I have seen I get the impression they are trying to correct that.

He says he has a real job and a real life, well that may be true, but so do the rest of us if he wants to believe that or not. What does he think we do, sit around all day waiting for something to happen.

I will say one thing, he has an attitude and self regard that stinks to high heaven. It really impresses me that he is so perfect.

If he does not like the e-mails going around, then he should remove himself from the mailman list.





You mean the "Office of NON-Emergency Mismanagment"! The So. Plfd 
Director 
(If you want to call him that) is a fucking asshole! So. Plainfield Rescue 
Squad and the like ALL suck! Get with the program guys! Stop being sooo 
(Liberal)....No one gives a crap about RACES! Get real!

I am 5 years Plfd Rescue Squad. (EMT-PA)
7 years New Market Fire Dept. (exempt)
I have a REAL job and a REAL life! Do you!?

Stop sending such bullshit in the emails!

STOP 7PLUS
STOP INTERNET FORWARDING
The ARRL is NOT the enemy!
Preserve our spectrum!
