Back to Ken Jenne, however (isn’t that what this blog was supposed to be about?), I can only say that his actions at the time caused me to feel betrayed. It was similar to when Sara Palin was given high marks after her debate with Biden because she had only a few weeks to prepare for it. Are we supposed to lower the bar on the vice presidency just because a person only had a few weeks to prepare, or should we hold the bar higher because it is the vice presidency?

I tend to hold our elected officials up to a higher bar, and what he did at the time was reprehensible. He betrayed my trust, and the trust of the rest of the people in Broward County.

I am telling you all of this so you can understand the basis of my response.

Jenne was given a specific sentence by the judge which he fulfilled. The judge said this is the balance against what you did wrong, and Jenne faced it head on. At this point I may yet be somewhat wary of Jenne, but in my mind he has paid his dues and is deserving of whatever respect and redemption he can now muster in his new lease on life.

Of course its your last post Bill, we all know you dont like it when someone confronts you. You didn’t even confront me with my comment, you directed it towards Buddy.

Your reply does beg the question, if you claim that I am a liar and I do post on your blog, does it not confirm what everyone knows is true? You track and identify those who post on your blog? This is exactly why I post on blogs only in my own name, its all traceable so why try to hide.

Now Bill run along back to being “jabblog” we know writing in your name is not your style.

P.S. Please feel free to call me a liar to my face, but of course we know you wouldn’t do that now would you. You only get confrontational behind your blog and “jabblog” persona.

One last post from me.

Mr. Ahearn says “That is the difference between us Bill, if I write on a Blog, I always use my own name and will never behind a cloak of anonymity.”

Buddy, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. It is five dollars. Don’t worry about the fiver though. I will give it to you on credit.

See ya,

Bill

That is the difference between us Bill, if I write on a Blog, I always use my own name and will never behind a cloak of anonymity. If I have something good or bad to say about someone I will come right out and say it. No need to hide behind “Jabbolg” or other pseudonyms.

You are right Buddy, this was about Ken. Sadly the person who posts obsessively about me on Jaab as “Roscoe” felt the need to attack me here when all I did was defend a friend.

Don’t worry Bill, I know you will not respond, as always when someone confronts you head on you back away.

Hey Buddy, where is my hello?

Mike

FROM BUDDY: Hello.
I always appreciate it when you participate. You contributions add something to Browardbeat.com.

I have been following this thread with bemusement, which is probably the wrong word, since I am sorry the nonsense that permeates JAABLOG has now crept over to your blog.

In any event, I had to pipe up because Mr. Ahearn has seen fit to print an outright lie about me in your comments.

For the record, I have never in my life written a single word accusing Ahearn of anything to do with Salantrie, Bekowitz, or Rynerson. He is either operating under a false belief, or, as previously stated, just plain lying.

Chalk it up to just another day in the blogosphere.

Bill Gelin

FROM BUDDY:
Always good to hear from you.
Thanks for clearing this up.
Silly me. I thought the post was about Jenne, not about courthouse politics. It got hijacked!
