This should be interesting, especially with the elections around the corner.

Oh, one more thing, “Dudes of Carpentersville”? Sounds like a title from a Hollywood cowboy movie, made recently.

Hello all,
Ace is back on track after a year on vacation. Lets see what this site can generate. Anyone hear that Floyd’s was given a liquor licence for 2006? Did the bank deal fall through?

Hey Ace,
Floyd’s history! Victor sold the property to developers, since he bought the “Barn” in Barringnton.

Hi Frank,
My question is, was a liquor license issued to the former Floyds building, owner unknown to me. That’s what I heard from a village employee. I heard also that the ‘auction’ on the buildings contents has been withdrawn. Just curious, thats all.

Hi Ace,
Not sure what you mean by the issuance of a liquor license? Elaborate and I’ll get back to you.

Hi Frank & others,
I’m curious as to why there are no posts on the Dist. 300 tax referendum. I will have no children attending schools after this May & none planned for the future. My taxes would go up a minimum of $452 a year. I never have been against tax increases for education but this projected increase is 10% above my present taxes & no more kids in school. Fact is, putting my son thru college next year is already going to be a big chunk of $$$. Any comments?

I believe that this Blog is dead, sort of like Grant Crowell’s marriage.

Frank – Now is that appropritate?
Ace – on the referendum, I’m not sure who to believe at this point. The statistics that both the “yes” and “no” camps are spewing, are totally contradictory. The one thing they do seem to agree upon is that something needs to be done at the state level to fix the way schools are funded.
My taxes are already high enough, so I don’t want shell-out even more. Does anyone know how bad it has to get before the state steps in and takes over the district?

Oh puhleeze Paul,
Stop the, “is that appropritate?” b.s.. I was accused by Grant Crowell of being “homophobic.” What goes around, comes around.
Now Paul, back to you buddy. I can see that you would go against the school referendum, since you have a “cozy” relationship with that self-serving girl from the WESTSIDE, the one and only Nancy Moore.
Gee Paul, don’t you have any original thoughts on your own? Hmmmmm….let me guess, you favor John Noverini, over John Mayer? See Paul, I can read your mind!!!
Yours truly,
Frank “look into my eyes” Stoneham

Sorry, I wasn’t aware of Grant’s accusations. Despite that, I still feel it’s inappropriate for this forum. Aren’t we supposed to be focused on politics here?
It’s no wonder you are so quick to criticize, when you are jumping to unfounded conclusions so quickly. Have I ever stated I am Republican or a Democrat? Based on your statements you seem to be making the leap that I am not only Republican, but an ultra-conservative Republican. As for my personal political slant, you must be reading someone else’s mind and/or you need to get your crystal ball tuned.
Can you read? All I stated was that the statistics on the referendum are contradictory. How do you extract from that statement that I would not support the referendum? I have had two YES/YES signs in my windows for weeks. I am not hopeful, though, that the referendum will actually pass – I think there are far too many unanswered questions from the school district. My real concern is that it WON’T pass, and the state will step-in and take over the district. Maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing from a management perspective, but I do know that our taxes would then be increased on their terms, not ours.
As for Ms. Moore, I would LOVE to know what precipitated that comment – I have met her one time, and spoken to her on the phone on one other occasion, in regards the Pulte development. That’s hardly what I would call a cozy relationship; unless you are assuming that anyone who live west of route 31 as being the same “birds of a feather.” I have neither ill-feelings nor tremendously positive feelings towards her. I really do not know enough about her to make an informed judgment.
As for whether I would choose Mr. Noverini over Mr. Mayer, I really can’t say definitively. I do know that it doesn’t seem like Mr. Noverini has been bringing home the bacon, per se, to this area.

All interested readers,
Well, it looks like its a done deal. Dist. #300 passed a ref. which will cost me $600 a yr. in increased taxes with no childern in school & none in the future. I just wonder how much the rest of my taxes will increase also. It looks like I will have my Mortgage increase $80-100 a month. I’m wondering just what are the older retired folks going to do?
If you are in this situation, please sound off. Thats what this blog is for.

Gee Ace,
This site is for the promotion of homosexuality, check the title.
Didn’t you read the LTTE in the Daily Herald, from Grant Crowell? The weirdo wants to compare families who are in public, as expressing their sexuality to those of two men showing affection to each other in public. Please Ace, tell us what you think of this? I’m sure your old buddies down at the station, are wanting to know your opinions on this. Wasn’t one of the YMCA singers dressed as a cop?
Dudes of Carpentersville, yeck! Grant should call this site the Dudes of Crystal Lake or maybe Boys of Lake in the Hill, in tribute to you Ace.
Yours truly,

Oh, by the way Paul and Ace, use your search engine and type in Dudes of Carpentersville. You may find a suitable mate for the both of you, tee-hee.
Yours truly,

March 26, 2006 at 3:00 pm
Oh my God Frank,
When did you start taking drugs? Why all of a sudden are you rippin on me? I have a “suitable” mate & she is female.
29 yrs. with her thank you. You won’t see me wearing a shirt in public that has the word “faggot” on it, even if its just in jest.
Ace
March 26, 2006 at 6:50 pm
Oh Ace,
Lighten up! Stop the holier than tho b.s., we all live in glass houses. Besides, who called you a faggot? Me?
So Ace, why do you post in a “known” Homosexual blog?
Yours truly,
Frank “?” Stoneham
March 26, 2006 at 10:11 pm
First off, I’d like to thank everyone who sent me very nice letters complimenting me on my LTTE in the Daily Herald. Its good to know there are a lot of people out there who can respect the rights of any two grown adults.
Its also satisfying to see our blog monkey, Mr. Frank “Stoneage” Stoneham, so insecure about his own sexuality that he keeps making homo inferences to everyone. Maybe he had some bad experiences growing up, such as being called “Faggit Stoneham,” and feels the need to overcompensate by telling us how much he hates gays. (Truth is, many people who feel the need to express it so loudly are the most likely to have repressed homosexual tendencies. You trying to tell us something, Frank?)
I let Frank post here because I do take pity on him for not being intelligent enough to start his own blog, not that people would care to read it. He is the equivalent of our “wedding crasher” — comes univited, makes an ass of himself, gets drunk and insults everyone including the groom, hits on the bride, knocks over the food table, pisses in the punch, and then while being thrown out he whines that his free speech rights are being violated.
Its funny that everyone else but Frank can see that the he was recruited by a Carpentersville Trustee to try and bust up any type of community forums is not because of any influence or accomplishments, of which there are none to his name. Rather, its because he is dumb and acts dumb, and is too dumb to see it. Right now the Carpentersville Trustee is laughing at how easy it was to recruit Stoneham and make him think he was special. (Well, special in another way, perhaps.)
Frank, please go cry somewhere else, like to a counselor. You’re embarrassing all of the heteros here, who are starting to question your own sexuality now.
March 27, 2006 at 12:33 am
Oh Grant, how cute you can get when you get upset, boo-hoo.
First of all my sexually confused friend, I’m no “homophobe”, ask any of my buddies and of course my wife.
When you called me a homophobe, my queer friend, I thought I could show everyone, what a heterosexual-hater you are.
My God Grant, what happened with your deletions of my posts over at your website carpentersville.org? Your small-mindedness and self-interests were quite revealing, when you shut your website down.
Tell me me Grant “I like boys” Crowell, who’s the trustee that has the spell over me…tee-hee, you’re quite funny.
I do wonder though Grant, what does your friends, REPUBLICAN social conservatives like Nancy Moore and John Noverini think of your LTTE in the Daily Herald and the Northwest Herald…..hmmmmm. Your so-called Republican friends will NEVER come out and approve of your letter, tee-hee, some allies. Tell us Grant, are you some type of Log Cabin Republican? That’s too funny, my lip-stick wearing friend.
AND Grant, didn’t your buddy the current Kane County Board member, ex-trustee of Carpentersville and your neighbor [when you lived in Carpentersville] Republican JOHN NOVERINI, squash and destroyed any attempt to have a “teen” center for HOMOSEXUALS in Carpentersville?!?!
MY, my, my Grant Crowell, who’s the homophobe and who’s the hypocritical finger-pointing and heterosexual hater?
You can count myself and others who are dying to meet you in Crystal Lake on July 16th, but I’ll probably see you sooner at the next Crystal Lake Council Meeting, tee-hee, iIm so tickled that YOU and I will meet soon. This way Grant, YOU can tell me to my face what a “HOMOPHOBE” I am!
Yours truly,
Frank “see ya soon, buddy” Stoneham

Well, it appears that my experiment with the monkey (aka, Frank Stoneham) has been successful. Now just by using his own comments we can spot all of the common traits of a low-level homophobe:
• The monkey tells other not to post to a blog that he says promotes homosexuality, while continuing to post to the blog itself.
• The monkey feels an incredible urge to show everyone it thinks it's not gay, and it feels the best way to accomplish this is by insulting not just everyone's sexuality, but their own spouses and children as well.
• The monkey makes sexually suggestive comments repeatedly towards others, such as "tee-hee," which show a feminine slip-up of its many attempts of machismo.
• The monkey cannot fathom that I have friends who may not share my views on this subject, but that we can still respectfully disagree and get along fine. The monkey's response to anyone who has a different opinion from its own is to do non-stop name calling to the point that it alienates itself from everyone, including the very same people who gave it a forum to express his views.
• The monkey boasts of meeting people face-to-face, but is perenially a no-show. (As was the case at the last Crystal Lake meeting, where he was nowhere to be found.) It acts tough online, but cowers offline, perhaps with the knowledge that anyone it challenges would easily subdue the monkey with physical force if necessary, and then have it hauled off to jail to be in a cage with many aggressive men. (Which is perhaps the monkey's real intention all along.)
• The monkey still can't figure out how to do its own blog, because that would require basic intelligence which the monkey does not possess. And so, the monkey must try and disrupt the intelligent dialogue of others because it is desparate for attention, while continuing to be ignored for not having anything meaningful to say. The Village ignores him, its former acquaintances want nothing to do with him, and even his family is embarassed by him. Rather than realize its immature behavior, it reverts even further to the point of walking around with no pants and peeing all over everything (which at least smells not as bad as what comes out of its mouth).
• And lastly, the monkey will post here again, because it has nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to, and nothing else to do.
I would like to thank everyone here for observing this experiment and being part of its success. Hopefully you all can use it as a good means of how to spot a blog monkey and deal with it on your own should you choose to host your own online forums. Together we can accomplish great things for our community with our positive dialogue, debate and solutions for building a better tomorrow today.

Say this with a German and feminine voice, “Touch my monkey.” Yeah Grant “I’m flaming” Crowell, you remind me of that “homo” German on Saturday Night Live..tee-hee.
Oh by the way Grant, is it true that your soon to be ex-wife, found you living on the streets of Honolulu Hawaii? You were turning tricks for the Japanese sex tourists, at that time. But, as you grew older, your customers turned their attention and money, to the younger male prostitutes.
Tee-hee Grant, I remember the last time I confronted you over at Carpentersville Village Hall, you remember don’t you? You were sitting next to Linda Sliwinski. Yeah Grant, I confronted you, but you ran from me, like a scared girl. And, all I wanted to do was ask you why you were deleting all my posts. Believe me Grant, I don’t believe in hitting girls, even if they have appendages hanging from between their legs, tee-hee.
Grant “I look great in a hula dress” Crowell, don’t you worry, you’ll be seeing me soon, since I have a lot of friends in Crystal Lake. Who knows Grant, I might come knocking on your door one night to say, hi.
Yours truly,
Frank “wear something sexy for me” Stoneham
