When you move to Asheville I hope for your sake you don't keep bringing up "in my neck of the woods" Generation after generation of wonderful local craftsmen have been creating beautiful workmanship that have survived and thrived in these beautiful mountains....now what is it that you are trying to teach us????? Bring out the violins
Come to their own conclusions??and "bring out the violins?
Exactly what have you done for this planet that's so extra ordinary besides criticize with nothing to back you up.

Sarcasm will get you no where and we obviously don't need to look at any of your old posts...you spell out the kind of person you are right here.

I know nothing about you and you know even less about me and what I've done in my life for myself and for other people. I spent more time volunteering to help children among other people than you might even begin to imagine. I brought up a daughter that my guess is was somewhat influenced by the kind of person her father is and went on to start Girls For A Change that helps underprivileged young girls from the inner cities ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY so fwiw your assumption that I'm rude by using the phrase in my neck of the woods is absolutely ludicrous. Don't lump me in to a world of rude people with your broad brush...and imo you're being "hypersensitive".

And maybe if you read some of my past posts you'd see where I talked about living in Nelson County Virginia for quite awhile, Lovingston to be exact....and how I absolutly loved everyone back in those hills and I KNOW they loved me b/c I was invited to spend a year with Bessie Terry an old woman probably a good hour to any store. I spent almost a year up on that mtn with that old lady helping her and spent time back in the woods with her sons Junior and Brent coon huntin'...and yeh...they even took me to their stills...that in of itself says what they thought about me.
I won't even go into how my construction boss would take me and the rest of the crew to the Appomattox Court House to square dances every Friday night where his band played...I have a feeling those people thought I was an ok person...even though I was born down the Lower East Side of Manhattan...and lived in the projects my whole life as a kid growing up.

I lived in a LOT of different, "necks of the woods".

you have no clue who I am so before you try and run that kind of sarcastic garbage about me ...or anyone else for that matter may I suggest you ask questions or back your sources up before you try and put someone down.

While I think he gets pretty short with a lot of folks I do also think he helps a lot of people so I'm not here to judge him or anyone else. Gets no one anywhere fast.

I also don't let a small handful of people dictate to me what an entire community is all about....one way or another. I see this kind of thing in different forms in so many of the other City-Data states I look in on.

I also get why so many folks are angry in Buncomb county about newbies moving in and stripping the mountain sides. I see it in other states as well...it's not exclusive to Ashevillle...or anywhere.

Heck...the house I live in now is a circa:1680 I restored and you should see some of the photos from around here from years past. As nice as it is around here it ain't nothin' like it used to be. Pity. Glad I was at least fortunate and privlidged enough to be able to restore this old girl cuz it was falling off the face of the earth.

We do what we can, right NC_Paddler?
Be well
andy

I have found that the best way to deal with Asheville Native is to just block his posts when I get tired of seeing his negativism. I keep it that way for a week or so and then take it off again. That way I avoid letting him lure me into the tit-for-tat exchanges that he loves to get going with folks. With him its just a chance to argue with someone--I have him blocked right now so no need to even try to get one started now AN--

But on top of that...I'd NEVER generalize about anyone.
Oh really, that's interesting since you posted this in the Vermont thread:

Can't blame them I suppose but it's ineveitable anywhere you go.

Well I may be one of them 'locals' you speak so kindly about and of course you NEVER generalize, but I learn more about what your are saying by how you say it vs. the words actually used.

You are mistaken, that is not my style, and I have sent NO personal messages to you. If I have something to say, you will read it right here in view of anyone that cares to look.

hmmmmmm that says alot. I was always kinda lost on this whole concept of altruism through construction?? Just start a non-profit or become involved in something really altuistic if thats your goal. Nice research Native.
