All I can attest to is what I’ve seen, heard myself, and personally experienced since I’ve been here— or what I’ve researched and read (and I don’t mean the gossip). You have to understand, I was really excited to move to the beach. I was excited to be a part of the community—and ready to jump in and help with things if I could. And what I’ve experienced has been so disappointing. 

there are some things that I’d be willing to talk with you offline about. Maybe you’d understand a bit better why I worry so regarding this with/against mentality I see by certain board members. where I first heard of Colby was not from anything to do with either site. At the time it all sounded like very inappropriate gossiping, but now I realize what this person was doing. And if the gossip could be said when/were it was to me—- I can only imagine what is said to others. It was unsolicited. I knew no one. I asked no questions. Just hoped the person would stop talking. It was the very first day the person met me. All about Colby. The board. The “good people” on the board, who was running, who shouldn’t be. 

that was my “welcome to ocean pines”! lol I would’ve much preferred quiet. Or a pina colada.
