Wants my address for what?
To stalk me like Oedipus or the woman that took out a TRO against him?
I think not--what a senseless waste of time this "Malden Amateur Hour" buffoon is.

The woman in question had an R/O on her, she filed in retaliation on me - it happens all the time. The judge heard her death threat against me on an audiotape "You'll be found dead next to your friend; play this for the police". He immediately issued a no contact order against her. She did sign a document to stay away from me then moved about 10 streets from my home looking for me again. I have since moved. Because this is a PUBLIC SAFETY issue and my household is at risk that is all I will say.

I was once given an assignment in 4th grade by Mr. Brown at Norton Middle School to write "I will not act like a buffoon" 500 times.
Funny how one man's idea of buffoonery can be turned into a lucrative career.
Thanks for the memory recall. I laughed openly at a post on this board for the second time today.

The radio pro that took out a TRO against Amateur Hour never hit anyone.
Why do you persist in making crazy stories up?

While I admire the forward thinking of Mr. Flemming and a forum like this is something that should be sacrosanct in his honor, I fear it's been tainted beyond repair by Joe V. The moderators simply won't stop him from libel. They defend him and his libel. In3Media has a choice to make about allowing one person to overtake this board and libel people up and down with no sanction or consequences. It's a public forum but tort law is also a public forum. Something needs to be done here and quickly.

The CITGO sign controversy is as stupid as banning the word "French Fries".
Like David Letterman's remark regarding Chavez calling Bush the devil.
Letterman said some were not sure who was insulted....

i don't think shes was on drugs. i think Oedipus paid her in stole Cd's to shut you up. just my theory....
i am curious who pays to light the citgo sign?? citgo? us?
The Citgo sign is not even owned by Citgo. Its a landmark owned by the city of Boston since 1983. It has been rebuilt and maintained by many diffrent groups of boston businees over the years after Citgo had left the area years ago. The shell of the american company was eventually sold to Venezwala.
The only thing that complicates this a little that in 2005 the new Citgo donated a lot of money to rebuild it again switching it from Neon to LED.

Citgo's own stries on the sign
http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO/BostonSign.jsp
From: http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO/CompanyHistory.jsp
The story of CITGO Petroleum Corporation as an enduring American success story began back in 1910 when pioneer oilman, Henry L. Dougherty, created the Cities Service Company.
When Cities Service determined that it needed to change its marketing brand, it introduced the name CITGO in 1965, retaining the first syllable of its long-standing name and ending with "GO" to imply power, energy and progressiveness. The now familiar and enduring CITGO "trimark" logo was born.
Occidental Petroleum bought Cities Service in 1982, and CITGO was incorporated as a wholly owned refining, marketing and transportation subsidiary in the spring of the following year. Then, in August, 1983, CITGO was sold to The Southland Corporation to provide an assured supply of gasoline to Southland's 7-Eleven convenience store chain.
In September, 1986, Southland sold a 50 percent interest in CITGO to Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. PDVSA acquired the remaining half of CITGO in January, 1990. With a secure and ample supply of crude oil, CITGO quickly became a major force in the energy arena.

Those of us old-timers remember the "Cities Service" sign, an equally big illuminated logo sign which was the forerunner of Citgo.
So long as Citgo is allowed to do business in the USA, keep the sign for God's sake. If you really feel strongly about Citgo, then ban them from doing business in the USA, and close up all the gas stations and take down all the signs. To make this big a deal about ONE sign is ridiculous.
By the way, I really miss the other landmark sign that you used to see from Fenway: The White Oil sign with the oil towers that gushed "oil" in neon. When did that come down, by the way?
