League City Political Whining

Mel Kelly, you've been mentioned a lot.  You're rather vocal and you want to waste our tax dollars holding a recall election.  That makes you a target for my disgust.  I thought about responding to your petty comments such as what better things I must not have to do, etc... but really, that's distracting from the purpose of this blog.  But there are two things I must respond to:

  1. Slander.  Please consult a dictionary or a lawyer before using this word.  In fact, you like to brag about the phone calls you made to the state AG's office as you researched your recall effort, perhaps you could ask them to clarify this word for you.  It's a dangerous word to throw about without knowing what it means.  Playing semantics, I've done absolutely nothing that could be interpreted as slander - that requires spoken words.  Now, forgiving the shortcomings of your vocabulary, I'll go ahead and assume you intended to use the word libel (the written form of defamation).  For something to be libel it must be something written which can be proven to be untrue.  Please prove any statement or claim I've made as untrue.  I've made references to other sources and asked someone to refute them.  I've provided links to definitions and supporting data for any positions I've supported.  Anything negative I've said has been purely subjective.  In other words, you can say I bad-mouthed, trash-talked, derided, and generally been not so nice to you, but you shouldn't use the word slander.
  2. I haven't blocked anyone.  Initially I tried to engage you and your friends in Mr. Mallios's Facebook group.  Then some of that group decided to hide behind the Facebook "Real Name" policy to kick me out of the group (because it's easier to attempt to silence the opposition than dispute their facts and logic).  When I created an alternative Facebook group (League City Outsiders) I allowed everyone to join the group (including Janice Hallisey, Justin Gripon, Larry Millican, and Jake Lass) because, unlike Mr. Mallios, Holly Shelden, John Bowen, or the rest who complain about my use of a pseudonym, I actually WANT to hear from those who disagree with me.  Unfortunately, my ideas and questions so frightened enough of Mr. Mallios's group that they had my account locked out of Facebook.  In other words, I haven't blocked anyone.  You further complained about a lack of means to contact me - I'll point out to you, at the bottom of every single post on this blog there's a little link to post a comment.  Please do so, I'd love to hear a single response to any of the points I've raised instead of the childish responses that y'all have managed to string together so far.  But of course, you don't want to disappoint Mr. Turski and Mrs. Shelden in their desire that y'all not "give forum" to those who disagree with you, so I highly doubt you'll bother commenting.  So please, go on assuming that the fact that my blog is published under a pseudonym somehow makes y'all look like the "light side" and my position as the "dark side", but the way y'all are acting and trying to hide anything I have to say speaks volumes to all the other residents of League City.  And that is what I was after to begin with - to be a voice for anyone who doesn't happen to agree with y'all.  The social media discussion was being completely dominated by Pat Hallisey's sycophants, and I wanted to show that this group was unreasonable and completely  frightened by the truth.  Your little tirades today in reference to this blog has helped to show that.  Thanks, y'all!

  1. I will try it again.....you are spot on. I find the green slime team
    amazing- especially the kelly twins.
    Hope you keep up the reporting. There is no one else to challenge Mallios's manipulators and liars....just you Jefferson.
    Ps. I had high expectations of Larry Millican also....but don't they say when you run with dogs you get their fleas....he has an unshakable Infestation.

  2. If the full contact Facebook page is so biased then why is Deborah Salazar able to make pro Debbie Drury posts on a continual basis?
    As far as I know you are more than welcome to say or post anything you like if you use your real name instead of hiding behind an Internet pseudonym.
    There's a term for people who make fake accounts just to mess with others.
    Troll.
    Stop trolling, start using your real name like everyone else, and go share as many opinions as you wish!
