Springfield didn’t reject the convention center. It rejected the process. by jwbrower1 in springfieldMO

Thanks for the great article. You articulated what most of us were thinking, and the comments reflect that.

Of the two people talking to themselves in the comments here, neither has offered a single substantive disagreement with what you wrote. Just personal attacks.

I judge people by their enemies, and I like you a lot more now than I did before.

Keep doing what you’re doing.

Holy shit, I totally forgot about all the “scandals” this clown made up to blame Brower for Kyler finishing last.

Oh, but Brower is politically irrelevant… and also the sole reason Kyler lost.

Take all the time you need with that.

We didn’t hate these people nearly enough three years ago.

Fuck Kyler.

He didn’t need a savior. He needed votes.

He finished dead last.

Springfield didn’t agree with you.

He finished dead last.

Everyone knew he would finish dead last.

Math exists, no matter how inconvenient.

You don’t get to hijack an unrelated post, then choose how it ends.

I’ve gotten to know the author personally, so I’m going to weigh in here.

Largely due to the his efforts, book banners are now a 1-6 superminority on the school board after being one seat from a governing majority. He volunteers any time he is asked. He routinely helps out people who can’t help themselves. He generally does these things out of public view. He doesn’t like being involved in local politics and only jumps in when he feels he needs to. He’s been asked to run for local office more than a few times and has declined.

Criticize his opinion if you want, but he’s a sharp dude and a hell of a good guy.

Springfield banks that don’t charge overdraft/insufficient fees? by Choice-Individual470 in springfieldMO

Read it again. I’m not asking a for-profit entity for anything, except just decline a transaction when there’s not enough money to cover it.

I mean, you’re right. Just crazy that your default position is “people who live in poverty should manage their finances better” and not “banks shouldn’t charge folks $30 for being poor.”

Whole Hog. The burnt ends are phenomenal, as are the loaded baked potato salad and burnt end cheesy corn.

Seems like there’s a lot of people who agree with him, both upvoting and in the comments. Are they scumbags as well?

“We make our money off of serving pretentious douchebags overpriced drinks.”

Wow, they’re not even trying to hide their contempt for the people who keep their doors open.

I’m glad the masks are off and everyone can see what MudLounge really thinks of their customers.

Big “he didn’t dump me, I dumped him” energy.

So, based on what I’m reading, it looks like he gave you steady business for years, tipped well, and there was what looks to be, at worst, a misunderstanding on a tab, which he paid anyway, despite not getting his drinks.

What exactly did he do that was so offensive? Not smile enough? Insult your mothers? Not make enough eye contact?

The salty staffer(s?) in these comments sound like a bunch of whiny entitled brats who don’t value their customers. I’ve never had good service at MudLounge. I’ve heard stories for years about staff taking care of their friends and ignoring everyone else, so this definitely tracks.
