St. George announced there will be a public forum on next Tuesday. Word is they wanted a televised, public debate but the other side won't do it. This is a chance for LSURussian and his like minded friends to come ask any question they want!

ETA: meeting will be @ Woodlawn baptist on Jones Creek.

Didn't the SG proponents cancel a similar debate because they didn't like the setup?

Now they are calling out the otherside for doing the same thing?

That was never anything more than a rumor.

I didn't say mine wasn't a rumor:D. Then again I didn't manipulate an entire opposition movement like the local media did. Clearly you believed their rumor.

Did I say I believed it? Nope...


I just asked a fricking question and you claimed it was a rumor.

You also stated "they" are calling out the other side for the same thing.


At any rate, what I heard cannot be substantiated....same as the rumor/assumption that it was St.G who cancelled the last debate.

The point of this thread was the public forum. I'm sure they will be happy to answer any questions you have.

I don't have any questions.

Just pointing out how the "rumors" "I heard" "etc..." looks like hypocrisy coming from the SG crowd.

And I fricking LOATHE BR's leadership... They are scum.

Understood.   I could have easily presented it as fact, but I didn't. The local media could stand to learn that.....

I tell you one thing, the SG proponents hosting this need to have their ducks in a row.

This is their opportunity to answer the tough questions and come with a real plan.

Yep. While it isn't being hosted by the local media, I'm sure they will have crews and cameras there.

These St. George people are so paranoid and ill-tempered.

A rumor???

quote:

“We didn’t agree to do this debate in front of the media,” he (Rainey) said...

Talavera said in a phone call Saturday that “some of the panelists threatened not to show up” if the media attended.

You conveniently scalped that article.

quote:

Lionel Rainey, a spokesman for the St. George incorporation effort, denied his group raised the concerns.

Asked if he thought the forum should be public, he said he was “indifferent.”

“We didn’t agree to do this debate in front of the media,” he said, but he maintained his group was not the one that canceled the event.



Show me a link to anything that says st.George cancelled, or that the organizers say that st.George cancelled.

The article wanted you to infer exactly what you did. Congrats on getting played. See you at the forum?

I already did.

The Residents Against the Breakaway spokesperson told the forum organizer they had no objection to the media being present and then was told the forum was cancelled because "someone" objected to the media presence and Rainey admits his side "didn’t agree to do this debate in front of the media."

If you can't figure out what happened you're either completely ignorant or willfully obtuse. Which is it?

Let's see if the media will be allowed to attend the meeting your OP references.
