Below, are two posts from BKrochman that appeared in the almost daily Daily Pilot regarding the passive/active parks issue. LINK

" Silverthorn, I understand your point, but really the city shouldn't be making rules that people have to adapt to. Our Chief of Police stated at the meeting that when a problem occurs they respond (typically the Park Rangers) and they mediate/educate and that takes care of it. Codifying new regulations just makes things rigid. We don't need rigid, we need a community that works their problems out. As a last resort they can ask for help from the Park Rangers. It is working well by everyone but Martin Millard's standards and he has a reprehensible agenda. "

" We didn't take Boy Scouts, it was Cub Scouts. Boys Scouts are far more adventurous. It was disappointing to see Mansoor try to derail the double barrel public pummeling he must have known was coming. Martin Millard was obviously concerned enough that if all parks were made passive his imaginary Marauding Mexicans would return to Paularino because everyone would openly ignore the passive designations. Why else would he have supported eliminating the plan? To Eric Bever: It is ALL about kids. More restrictions on everyone mean less play opportunities for KIDS! "

HUH?
We're not sure how BKrochman arrived at his conclusions about our positions on the issue since we've never spoken to him, and his conclusions are 180 degrees opposite of what we've said and written about it. Just read earlier editions of the CM PRESS (# 485 and # 487) and you'll see our real positions.
To try to find out how BKrochman came to his conclusions, and to get more of BKrochman's views on the local scene--and especially on what he thinks we think--and a few other stories we're working on, we contacted BKrochman via email.
As of today, he hasn't responded. It may be that he just hasn't opened his email yet, and will do so after he reads about it here.
Or, perhaps someone who Mr. Krochman knows, such as, apparently, William Sneen (Dancing Sneen to the CM PRESS), who is running for the City Council this year, will let Mr. Krochman know he has an email waiting for him.
There are a number of reasons why we figure Mr. Sneen can let Mr.Krochman know we'd like his comments.
Among these is the fact that when we went to the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce website (as of 8:00AM on Friday, September 19, 2008) to look up the Costa Mesa High School Foundation, there was a link listing "Bruce Krochman," but when we clicked on Mr. Krochman's name, an email message box addressed to wsneen@hotmail.com opened.

So, Mr. Krochman, email us. We'd like to learn more about what we think, and about our "reprehensible agenda," and about "Marauding Mexicans."
We also have a few questions for you.
