How do you really feel? :rolleye1::rolleye2:

Well...
 

Well...Just to be clear I...
;)

In just two sentences you have leveled many accusations without having any basis of fact to back up your erroneous allegations. You could not be more wrong and your post could not be more misguided and uninformed. A lot of information that significantly impacted this matter has never been made public. Much of the published information is simply not true. Fake News!

It is kind of funny, but really it is sad, when people who do not know someone, and have a very limited grasp of the facts regarding what really happened, publicly speculate, make unfounded allegations, and disparage the character of a man they do not even know.

And the bottom line is: Everything he did was with permits and when he was done with the work, he received an occupancy permit for the property. Nothing he did had or will ever have a negative impact on the lake.

I’m so glad you posted this. It has been brewing inside me since the post popped up but I was using the 24 hour rule to calm down before I answered.

This is what happens when people only read part of an article or story or in the case of this site, just the last few posts and not the whole thread. They draw inaccurate conclusions.

I read the court record. Your thoroughly unsubstatiated claims are COMPLETELY destroyed by the fact he was subject to a consent decree, a matter of public record, that he then intentionally failed to comply with. As part of the record is that he claims he got 'verbal' permission from DES, which on its face is a totally B.S. claim. My proof? That B.S. was shot down in court leading to the consent decree. So...he was NOT fully permitted, he was found out of compliance in court, he was subjected to a consent decree that he failed to live up to.

“A lot of information that significantly impacted this matter has never been made public. Much of the published information is simply not true. Fake News!‘

Perhaps if this non public information were made available there would be less confusion and suspicion. To say that it is Fake News and then refer to information that is not available as a defense does not add any credibility to the argument in favor of the owner.

This is by far the oddest "signature" on this forum. Does it mean something to anyone other than you?

He happens to be a Trump hater so he adopted this signature to imply that “vladdy” (Vladimir putin) “owned” our President during their recent Helsinki summit...of course, Putin did nothing of the sort but the left does all they can to humiliate and demean our president. Thus, the takeoff on “who’s your daddy”

I don't think you should insult posters and the local newspaper. Both seem to have made a good faith effort based on public information.

But if you insist, I think you should back it up by posting the information that has not been made public and pointing out which pieces of the articles are "simply not true".

I would be glad to do that but it would require a breach of confidentiality that I will not do. I will just repeat that there is a misconception about what has really happened. Also, there were serious health issues and poor legal representation issues that left the wrong impression with the public. I understand that, and that is why I spoke out about it. I would do that in any situation when I felt someone I knew was being harmed by misunderstanding of the facts. It was not my intention to insult the poster, it was only to point that his post was wrong.

As a general rule, everything published on any subject will look like a "good faith effort" unless you know that it misrepresents facts or does not tell the full story. We have all seen that happen on a near daily basis in the press. Your understanding of the "facts" involving many political matters may depend upon which cable TV station you watch.

With that being said, I am aware of facts that directly affected this matter that had a bearing on it from the start. I know the whole story is not out there and why I feel it has left an unfair impression of Mr. Brown.

The charges leveled previously by an uninformed poster "lies, dishonest manipulations, and attempts to bully his way past the rules, and the courts, and by using his money to have politicians take up his case" are unfounded, not backed up by the facts, and represent a personal attack on a decent human being.

Built to be Sold-off...
 

Thank you—most helpful. The Boston Globe (mentioned twice) has a paywall to fund its "news".

IMHO: This house was built to be sold. :eek2:

Whoever installed the table tennis "set" didn't appreciate the space and surface needed for that game.

From the site:

Yes, a passing sailboat is so very intrusive. :rolleye2: Located between two land masses is, at most locations, a poor place to "sail".

At least one rockpile was placed there by the builder. :eek: (Who paid a fine).

If "struck by misadventure", could this house be legally rebuilt to its present height and expansiveness? (Or greater?)

This cynic is guessing, yes... :(

.

I do not believe the state can be bought. People keep saying if you have enough money you can get anything but I don't think that is true. Having said that, I can't help but wonder how this house could be built on such a small island. What happened to the coverage area rule and the 50 foot rule? And all the other rules? Was it grandfathered? Can you fill us in on that much, Tilton?

“With that being said, I am aware of facts that directly affected this matter that had a bearing on it from the start. I know the whole story is not out there and why I feel it has left an unfair impression of Mr. Brown.”

Sorry but Mr. Brown’s apologists do little for his cause or reputation by pleading “unknown facts” to redeem him or explain his apparent intentional actions and decisions.

unknown facts or “alternate” facts. Some don’t seem to know the difference.

Least we forget.....facts
 

One can not expect to plead their case without facts. Facts are defined as "something that is known to have happened or to exist, especially something for which proof exists, or about which there is information."

So people will conclude this story based on the known facts until other "facts" are presented.

Wow...
 

what a giant, steaming, pile.

Welcome Island
 

Between Pitchwood and Stonedam Island. Be careful navigating around it. Lots of rocks!:eek:

It used to be known as Wilcomb Island. The name Welcome might have developed over time, similar to Brown Bay morphing to Braun Bay.

For Sale: Wilcomb Island?
 

I see it. Looks like a reasonably speedy sailing trip depends on the prevailing breeze and perfect weather. I may have to hitch a stinkpot ride to get over there. (And steer-clear of "The Witches"). :eek:

I hadn't thought of being so close behind the stinkpot's fumes. I'd have to ride in it. :eek2:

Because of no wind and threatening weather, I once accepted a tow from a Jet-Ski. :o There is no worse ignominy! :( Fortunately, the tow was only a ¼-mile, and I don't think anyone ashore saw it. :)

BTW: Why do architects universally adopt sailing as a sport? https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/19/s...e/19boats.html

My 1994 map shows "Welcome", and I think you're correct regarding the "morph". The Wilcombs have disappeared down the memory hole, but "Welcome Island" would help to sell the property. :rolleye2:

My (moved) post was about the two views being discussed about this home: was it all done "right" or were there "shady" goings-on?

I don't know enough about building codes, but that sure seems like a lot of house on a small island?

I’m sorry, you are absolutely correct.

Thank you. [emoji4]

Which post are you referring to? Every post from you that I see is about the politics discussion.

I'll gladly move your post back if it is just about the Welcome Island house.

No worries--it was towards the end, but I get there was a lot of political buildup! (My comment, BTW, wasn't intended to be snarky towards you, but rather to take responsibility for the move and focus my point).https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7526e7787a.jpg
