I love how you JUST proved my point. (BTW, I can easily counter your "many requests to the contrary" with MANY private messages of support. Am I suppose to be intimidated into submission by such...

This is not you being overly generous or remiss because you're busy taking care of your mother.... this is just YOU, a totally bias and inconsistent, bad moderator. For all the crap you've given me,...

I totally agree with you Photolite! I think the city has seriously screwed themselves by trying to do too little too late. Like I've said, I don't want to see CVS/Chase go into that location (or any...

Judah, I think you are confused by what is a self-evident inalienable right/"freedom" and what is merely convenience and a preference. To have your preference or idea of convenience catered to is...

Thank Joseph!! I just love Louis' rendition of this song! Isn't the world, indeed, with all it's different personalities, just.....well....WONDER-FUL?! 😚😜<br><br>

Oh Barry, you and your "venom." While I simply repeat someone's point back to them, and in doing so, point out the absurd and hypocritical, you resort to your character assasignation tactics. Why do...

So.... you're all about "Cheap," first and foremost, and somehow driving to Rohnert Park (presumably in your electric fuel efficient car) makes chasing "cheap" ok. And you DON'T go to Starbucks, so...

I myself am nearly 40, but my father's family settled in Sebastopol in 1919, while my mother's settled in Bodega in 1856. The history of this area is not just lore to me, it's my...

Thank you Maggie! Couldn't agree with you more (and Shepard, couldn't DISAGREE with you more; please change to think more like Maggie, since you are so open to it). I am so tired of this hypocritical...

Barry, Mr. "Full-Disclosure,"- would you like to tell everyone how much revenue you enjoy as a result of SFm's advertising on your website, and what percentage that revenue is of your overall...

Rossman, thank you for your post.

1) Please educate yourself on the Direct Marketing Act, signed by Congress in 1976. This was the result of farmers uniting to demand exemption from...

The following article is by a former board member of the Sebastopol Farm Market and appeared in today's Sonoma West Times. I think some VERY good points are made here from one of SFM's very own.

Really, Barry?! Really. "Restraining-order?" Implied link to "Dan Smith?" You sure know how to plant seeds, don't you! I hope anyone with common sense sees right through this, and you folks watching...

I have given very specific reasons why I support the Barlow:
1) it was the original plan, supported by Paula, people on this thread (the community), and the vendors (I was there when they voted for...

I hear what you're saying and I agree, but the problem is not that "I won't let go" that keeps old issues alive and prevents us from moving forward, it's the caveat that SHE put in the settlement...

Please always remember that what you love so much HAS a price, and that is all the farmers and vendors who have been prohibited from selling at the market because of its limited capacity. How do you...

Here's the problem you are not considering (and I don't blame you because you would only know this if you are coming from the Farmer's perspective.) there will be some people you might accommodate...

Now we're starting to have a decent conversation!

What you say is very true, selling at markets IS a whole lot of work, and growing a successful business does take capital (both time and money)....

Don't forget the "outing" of "Oliviathunderkitty" as Michelle Anna Jordan, columnist for the PD/ PAID by the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market, according to their own financials (which I'm...

I'm So sorry Barry. PLEASE don't revoke the ONE and ONLY opposing view because I use CAPS when stating FACTS. I did not realize people were so sensitive to FACTS.

I'm sorry. I thought, since it was perfectly fine for folks to be up in arms about the Barlow ("boycot!" "Bad manners" "stupid behavior"), that it would be equally fine that I'm up in arms about...

Yeah, that's it! Blackmail, penalize, hold hostage the FARMERS, because HOW DARE they want to go to THaT PLACE that they have been planning to move to for OVER TWO YEARS, before the Barlow said,"...

You are such a hypocrite, Barry... with a moral compass not worth of the Devil's minion. So your FRIEND doesn't have to sign her name to her words.... YOU are allowed to be HER sock puppet.... but...

<br><br>

So, a nice couple showed up in support of me. We sat and chatted for about 40 minutes, a few uninvolved stangers struck up a conversation with me, asking about the catsup on top of my...

Alrighty folks-I’ll bite! You want mustard?! How about mayo, catsup, and relish too!! How about a frigin’ buffet, shall we?!

So… you know my REEEAL name (ooooOOOOOoooh!!)! Nancy Marie Prebilich,...
