Below is a posting from Ms. Powell on 21 January 2019, when she was asked by one of BFFs on what happened to Mr. Metz?
BFF:
"I thought someone might know. There has to be a reason he was suspended in the first place. Should the citizens be concerned, I wonder"????
Ms. Powell:
"I am hoping the Mayor will comment on the matter to clear up the rumors and gossip surrounding this situation which should help those who question what happened".
When I saw how evasive and incorrect Ms. Powell was in her response, I decided to provide a bit of "Truth", that is right Brenda, "Truth" to the question. I took the liberty to advise the BFF on what had occurred at the VUB. (My contact to this BFF was the first time I have ever went and dug somebody out of the moldy halls of Facebook). There are as many of you know, Videos on Cell Phone(s), on what is said to have happened. This is hardly rumor and gossip. The actual Facts/ Truth (Oh how I love using the word "Truth" with you Brenda. It is like I am cursing at you and makes you cringe?").
The issue was the alleged "laying hands on" an employee by Mr. Metz. Again, the Videos show some activity going on face to face between them and an action as the employee was walking off? This is hardly rumor or gossip Ms. Powell?
Where you went South on this was not being honest (another word I think you don't like?), with the BFF when she asked you the question.
I need admit, that I set them up to see what they would do? I was not surprised that the BFF came running back to Brenda. In fact this is also where Ms. Powell is trying to distract from her comment that "Mr. Metz will return to work tomorrow continuing his position as the Public Works Director". (22 January). It appears, that he did not than and no one has said anything about today (23rd),? For all we know, his foray to 29th St. was an update on what is going on and possibly the beginning of a way out for him? That of course depends on the legitimacy of the investigation?
Now it is obvious to me that you and your BFF had a conversation one way or another and you had to cover up what I advised her? You than proceeded to again go off the rails. I am going to address your ranting.
1. Your comment that no one is stopped from contacting someone who interacts with this page (yours), even to go as far as contacting a person on their personal page is a LIE, Brenda. You have a habit of sneaking around over the so called back fence and on the telephone, and at least twice I am sure of where you kicked someone off your site for saying something that you did not like. In one instance nothing more than a suggestion that something you said was an issue that could be brought up at a Public Forum. The other time was when you went after me for:
a. Giving information to a couple of the group in a side meeting on Health Insurance that we had been talking about and you wanted to know why I did that? As one of them pointed out, it was none of your damn business. In fact, I offered to give it to everyone if they wanted it? But YOU did not want them to have that data. So much for your wild story on Transparency, how money is being spent and alternatives that can help.
b. At a meeting in a person's garage, I had gotten tired of your shenanigans and back stabbing me and called you out for it. Immediately after the meeting ended, you ran up to several of them and I don't know what you told them, but I was suddenly kicked out. This also occurred when I called you out on your site. You can NOT take any kind of criticism or anything that you feel is being critical of you. This is your problem with, and I quote you "Men don't have any respect for my opinions, because I am a woman". And I believe that is word for word. And I have told you that you have a problem with self esteem (ego, image, etc.).
And I cannot speak for everyone, but can say for myself, I am not about to make up another account to post something on your site, so you can block me again. I actually question the folks who are on your site as to whether or not they have any common sense, or are just so Progressively Liberal that they are unable to accept other opinions? I know some of them are and some I don't know or care too. They are entitled to whatever? I have never blocked anyone or deleted anything put on my site. There are in a "Truth in Advertising" case, where two ads came to me to advertise my blog on their site, those I deleted. I respect a persons' right to an opinion even if it is wrong. And unlike you, I will provide whatever to show my point, for example Council Meeting, Budget, VUB minutes and other documents like FOIAs over the years. You have nothing except to block and/ or delete.
You end up having to get others to do research such as it is, or driving around taking pictures for you. These are some of the folks you take advantage of as long as they have value to you?
If you think it is "strange behavior" because I contacted that one person with the "TRUTH", good for you. I put out my positions where anyone can read them. I do not do the infamous "over the back fence" conversations or get on the phone with someone for hours on end. During that brief period when I was trying to assist the Rate Increase for the Sewer and Water Group, you would be jack jawing at me for 1 1/2 to 2 hours at a time. My wife would say to me when you finally quit "does she ever stop"? I told her the "Truth", you love the sound of your own voice.
As for the Daily Blat, they have such a problem with the "Truth", that it hides anything it can from the entire distribution area on what is going on in Vienna and have for at least 10 years that I know about? Others have told me it has been going on for far longer. Yes, my letters are blocked. Not because what I send in is wrong, but because it is so right so often. So many of the so called Journalism Degreed people live up here that they will and have moved Heaven and Earth to cover up issues. I would be glad to discuss the sweetheart deals that go on year after year with the same companies getting contract after contract? Does anyone think those are accidents? I just laid out the Pickering, Vienna, Tin Shed, McDonough, MOVRC questions from 2016?
It is a common tactic to scream that one is being "attacked", when their very questionable behavior is brought to light. Your most recent posting is an example of that.
Your comment on my "need to be right or expose the Truth is an obsession". I don't think you actually read what you wrote, just fired it off. I do not have a need to be right. It has been posted often that the Gift that God gave to me was that of being analytical. To connect the dots and follow the bouncing ball. I cannot count the times I would have rather been wrong than right. Because of that gift, I have taken on the obligation to advise the Community as a whole what is going on and when the "Truth", becomes a victim of your site or the Daily Blat, or any City Official, I try to correct the record. The people in Vienna accept unbelievable abuse from the City Government in how their Tax Dollars are and have been used for years, probably for decades and in the millions of dollars?
And you have made a heroic effort to cover up so much of the slime going on here for the past year. Just like the above with your BFF on the Mr. Metz issue? You got caught again no matter how minor? If you want to help Vienna and I am pretty sure you really don't, help them all, not just a small group. We are supposed to have 10,700 people now, they all deserve equal treatment from the City Governance.
While I am capable of great loathing for people of certain mentalities, it is also possible to feel empathy for their behavior when based on a physical or mental need too if not be first, to one up someone. But that does not excuse putting out information time after time that is misinformation, misdirection, deceit, deception and when the chance permits a lie? Maybe, you should look in the closet of your mind?
You have a nice day now, Brenda. 'ne'er nuff said"
