SEE BELOW EMAIL. DYLAN WAS CAUGHT OUT BY ONE OF HIS REMARKS IN MARI'S HEARUS BLOGS WHEN AS "ANONYMOUS" HE COMPLAINED THAT HE HAD POLITELY ASKED ME NOT TO EMAIL HIM. 

DYLAN SIMONDS, A MHS SIDEWALK SUPPORTER, COUNSELS IN HIS BELOW EMAIL THAT MHS'S EVERGREEN VICTIMS OF MHS DESTRUCTION OF THEIR HISTORICAL MORE THAN 100 YEAR OLD SEMI-RURAL STREET THAT THEY SHOULD USE courtesy, maturity, and open eyes, ears, and mind WHILE BEING SCREWED BY MHS.

SORRY DYLAN SOME FOLKS  YELL REAL LOUD EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BEING HELD DOWN AND RAPED BY BULLYS LIKE MHS AND ARDENT SUPPORTERS WHO ASK TO BE TREATED WITH CONSIDERATION AND RESPECT..

IF DYLAN OR ANYONE MHS SIDEWALK SUPPORTER CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MHS' MAN MADE AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTIVE SIDEWALK  WAS IMPOSED ON EVERGREEN AVE.AS A RESULT OF MHS BEING IMPOSED ON OUR HOMESTEAD VALLEY DESPITE ITS FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE COUNTY'S COUNTY WIDE PLAN, TAMALPAIS AREA COMMUNITY PLAN, TITLE 19, 22, AND 24 ORDINANCES AND REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT REQUIREMENTS AND SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL'S REQUIREMENT THAT THE COMMUNITY APPROVE A $600,000 PLUS SIDEWALK FOR FEWER THAN TWO DOZEN DIFFERENT EVERY MORNING PARK AND WALK INSTEAD OF REQUIRING MHS TO PROVIDE ONE SMALL BUS TO SHUTTLE FOR LESS THAN $100,00 I WOULD LISTEN. 

I KNOW BULLYS AND LIARS WHEN I SEE AND HEAR THEM.

I'LL TREAT YOU AND ALL OTHER MHS SIDEWALK SUPPORTERS WITH THE IDENTICAL POLITE CONSIDERATION AND RESPECT THEY HAVE GIVEN THE 29 RESIDENTS WHOSE FRONT YARDS THEY HAVE DESTROYED.  NONE

to consider how out of control this "dialogue" has gotten. Seriously, please think about what you're doing, and to whom. You don't know the first thing about me, yet you direct hateful emails at me and a host of other community members whom you've identified and characterized not simply as supporters of the sidewalk project, but as vile enemies of Homestead Valley. You seem to not even discriminate between pro-sidewalk and anti-sidewalk, when you expend your venom. Your just equitable with your hate, I suppose.

For many months, I endured your constant barrage of incoherent and psychotic emails, before I finally (and on more than one occasion) asked you politely to remove me from your distribution list. Although you first agreed to accommodate my request, I continued to receive your regular correspondence, and I know that the same is true for quite a few other Homesteaders, who just want you to leave them alone. However, now that you have decided to openly deride me before your "readership" as a person undeserving of respect and with apparent affinities for your mortal enemies at MHS, I can no longer abide your foolish, immature, and spiteful BS. Take me off of your distribution list, right now, Charles, and cease your beligerent hate mongering.

If you ever really cared about engaging in discourse that could have a meaningful, positive impact on your beloved Valley, (GUESS IT'S NOT YOURS) you should have approached this process with  courtesy, maturity, and open eyes, ears, and mind  But, it's clear to me and many, many others that you don't truly care about your neighborhood at all. If you did, you'd treat me with the respect due due anyone, irrespective of their point of view. After all, neighborhoods are comprised of people, and being kind to people is the, well, neighborly thing to do.

By the way, I've never replied to your emails as an anonymous sender, and I don't even know how I would do that. It's also worth pointing out that I sent my most recent note to you out of disgust for the way in which you disparaged Mari, stating that she is, in your own thoughtfully chosen words, "either a naive communty organizer, a self-centered egoist using a neighborhood disaster for readership purposes to start-up your Hearus Blog or just plain dumb." You probably know as well as I do that that kind of language does not belong in discourse between neighbors, and it certainly serves no other purpose than to antagonize and patronize. Frankly, given the amount of time, energy, and anger you have dedicated to this epic, months-long rant, I actually wish that I knew you well enough (at all) to have talked with you about these issues in person, neighbor to neighbor. You deserve to have an ear lent to you as much as anyone, but the project and the dialogue are effectively at an end, and I respectfully ask that you observe common decency by leaving me (and anyone else who similarly pleads for peace) alone.

Sincerely,
Dylan Simonds

P.S.- In half-full disclosure, I thought I'd let you know that I have BCCd several of my Homestead Valley friends on this email in order to share my perspective with them. Since you seem to enjoy sharing your own opinions with lots of anonymous email recipients, I figured that you would understand. If they care to weigh in, they'll know how to reach you.


Mari,

Who ever this guy is his name is listed on DPW's list of "majority" sidewalk supporters and like most of the sidewalk supporters offers nothing of value.

Mari,

You are have good intentions. When I offered to contribute you had a chance of stopping the work. However you didn't act and lost because your cause was deemed "untimely". You elected to keep your legal actions to your self and carefully kept me out. Your attorney evidently did not have, did nor read or did not appreciate that one of my emails contained 5 public records act requests for design information which was unanswered at the hearing. Your attorney should simply have presented that email in rebuttal to the county's "untimely argument. Contributing now is like "throwing jewels to hogs" ( a French Provencal expression)

You won't do it  but the only way to stop any corporation is via bad publicity not by reason. Hit 'em in the pocketbook is the only way to get their attention. Sure its a "school" and they will wrap themselves in "school" and "school children" as a protective cloak as they carry out whatever it is that needed to increase or protect their financial bottom line.

If you could get the Evergreen homeowners to place signs expressing their displeasure maybe MHS will go out of  businesses...but won't remove the sidewalk. Artleast they won't have hoards a strangers walking less than 30 feet past their homes invading their privacy.

By the way "Anonymous" gave himself away when he complained I wouldn't take him off my email list. He's Dylan Symonds. I refused ans told  him he will be treated with the same respect and concern MHS inc. gave it neighbors when it imposed its sidewalk on Evergreen Ave. NONE,

Charles Sands

Thanks again for your feedback, Mr. Sands. I have changed the settings  : 

no more Anonymous comments  - they are a waste of time and energy. 

We'll be engaging in some fundraising to pay the outstanding balance owed to the lawyer. 

I understand why you and some other neighbors do not want to contribute to the lawsuit to stop the sidewalk. 

Perhaps they will change their minds after the rains come. 

Best Regards, 

Mari

This is the kind of MHS sidewalk supporter your HEARUS BLOG has provided a forum for.

AN ANONYMOUS bully who has nothing positive too offer in support of MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. SIDEWALKS DESTRUCTION ON AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. 

As a forum for bullies to bully folks HEARUS is a success..

Who cares what either of you, nor Charles, say? Really now. You guys have such an inflated sense of self importance you miss the broader picture.

Why do you think you couldn't get enough people to support your cause? (Frank, ever count those with vs. without your little ribbons? Far more w/o you nitwit). Your vitriol does you in. Perhaps more would be supportive of your opposition stance, but who would really want to align themselves with people with characters such as yourselves?

Really Frank, look in the mirror. Read the b.s. you write and pretend someone else wrote it. Then see if even you'd think there was a shred of intelligence in those words.

Most people would be embarrassed to align themselves with you all. Get it? Doubtful.

That's also why so many choose not to post their names. Who really wants Frank showing up at their door in his bathrobe in a drunken stupor blurting out some blabber about the sidewalk.
