ROLLING THIS POSTER IS A DICK I WOULD LIKE TO VENT ABOUT THEM KNOWING THAT MY EFFORTS WILL BE FUTILE THREAD

Mark, I think yr a very nice, intelligent (if occasionally hot-headed but aren't we all) guy, but seriously you're making more of this than you really ought. There isn't a cult of Dom on ILX, he's no guru of mine, BUT he does frequently make the place more interesting, and that's all I'm asking from a messageboard. Maybe I've developed a thick hide to this stuff far too quickly but hey, given how much of a target I often make myself it's probably necessary for my survival! If there is a difference between myself and the hardcore zingers, it's that I do genuinely feel it when my character is judged (especially for the worse), but instances of this are decreasing. Sorry if I seem like a cipher to evil here or something, but I plead independence.

Louis, being a vicious cock on the internet is bad EVEN IF IT'S FUNNY. That's all.

Usually. The Daily Mail is a worthy target; a struggling young journo wannabe most decidedly isn't. Your mate Dom chooses not to differentiate. That's my problem.

Hey - my only contributions to the struggling young journo thread were sarky criticisms of the lack of a googleproof. Just saying. As long as that guy isn't affected by it, mind, I think feeling pain on his behalf is a mite over-sensitive, albeit that a crowd of sniping sub-editors doesn't resemble the most civil manner one's honest request for advice could be treated with. There was a little understanding in the thread as well, unlike the Mail thread which was a torrent of completely-deserved derision.

Take it from an outsider, Louis. Your cheerleader/mini-me act w/r/t Dom is embarrassing. Dom is a fairly thick-skinned individual has a hide like a rhino, he doesn't need it. It makes you look like a right wally.

(for "outsider", read "someone who's balls shrivel with embarrassment everytime they see the letters "LBZC")

Well, the initial reason I responded to sleeve is that I'd participated in the thread he was incriminating, and was concerned with defending it, rather than its creator. But yeah, I'll chill out and let people have at each other, can't please everyone at once I guess.

"LBZC" is AT LEAST as self-deprecating and deliberately-lame as it is "this is a genuine kroo". Probably much more so. Just a bit of fun, as they say!

We have plenty of fools on this here boards, perhaps all of us, Dom seems to be one of the few people who is especially mean spirited and nasty in his foolery and certainly needs no encouragement.

Woah Louis quit with the "Dom's a good dude really" shit. He's not, he's a malicious bitter cock on ILE most of the time and the whole Stockholm Syndrome crap really needs to just end.

THE MARKELBY MEMORIAL THREAD

Can we stop ruining the Idiot Thread Repository with idiot threads like this, btw.

Dom Passantino is a fucking sexist asshole and I really wish he would do something stupid enough to justify permabanning.

OH YEAH LET'S ALL LAUGH AT A WOMAN GETTING PUNCHED FOR NO GOOD REASON.

fuck sake man

The ONE MINUTE response time to a post made really late at night in British (ie actual, real) time to an obscure board with nothing but capital letters wacky shit on it is pretty funny, to be fair

JGO still basically right about that thread just being lol daily mail but I guess Dom being, undoubtedly, a terrible person means people are sometimes using one small event as a trigger to vent a few months/years worth of impotent internet rage

(My balls shrivel with embarrassment at "LBZC" and I was the first dude to get the Jean Charles treatment back on the night of the wrong knives)

^^^ this guy gets it.

Site New Answers, bored at night, hitting "Refresh", big red NSFW markers = instant arousal of interest btw.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool

SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT DOM

I'm retired, Dom. I think Louis is too young and decent a chap to be ready to become as cynical and bitter as you. Me? I'm way beyond you.

ok come on guys seriously

pipecock

We have reviewed the permits submitted by H3O to build a wake board facility at Lake Tye. In response to
citizen comments, including those of TTSS, a SEPA Checklist and Critical Areas Report Supplement was prepared
by the applicants consultant, Parametrix. After reviewing this document, it is clear that the consultants
selectively chose some references and ignored two of the most important ones regarding information on
trumpeter swans. As a result, there are egregious errors in biological information, impacts to wildlife, and status
of these birds including the use of Lake Tye by other birds. When misleading or egregiously inaccurate
information is provided to decision makers on a project, the result is one that does not serve the public or our
wildlife resources well.
The information on swans provided in the supplemental document has many egregious errors and omissions of
important information. We have commented on several aspects of this document and made direct responses to
contents in the document (red) with our response directly below them. We believe that making a sound decision
about this projects impacts to migratory birds based on facts is not possible with the information provided by
the documents submitted by the applicant.
The most significant issue stems from their lack of understanding that the Trumpeter Swans that use western
Washington. The swans of Washington, as all waterfowl here, are designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) to be in the Pacific Flyway (2006). The Trumpeter swans are split into two population groups, the
Pacific Coast Population (PCP) and the Rocky Mountain Population (RMP). The Trumpeter Swans in western
Washington arepart of the Pacific Coast Population (PCP). They breed in Alaska and winter along the coastal and
inland areas west of the Cascade Mountains as far south as the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The Rocky
Mountain Population (RMP)occurs east of the Cascade Mountains in Washington. These two groups have
distinct and separate breeding, migration and wintering areas. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has
separate management plans for each population (USFWS 2006 and 2008). None of these documents were used
by Parametrix during their environmental review.
The second serious error is the omission of information on the status, habitat needs and management concerns
for Trumpeter Swans in western Washington, including the Snohomish Valley. The PCP Plan From the Pacific
Flyway Implementation Plan for the Pacific Population of Trumpeter Swans states the following for Washington
State, especially for western Washington:
1. Protection of Swans and Habitats. - - The following measures are recommended to
improve protection to swans and their habitats:
a. Initiate conservation actions necessary to secure and/or develop critical feeding sites
and night roost areas. (WDFW; Priority 1; As practical)
b. Maintain integrity of available swan habitats through environmental review of
proposals for development (WDFW, USFWS; Priority 1; Ongoing)
c. Eliminate or minimize human disturbance factors by regulations and education
(WDFW; TTSS; Priority 2; As appropriate)
2. Monitoring and Investigations. - - The following monitoring and investigative efforts are
recommended:
a. Document habitat requirements and shifts in habitat use of wintering TRUS (WDFW;
Priority 1; Ongoing)
Another significant omission is the fact that WDFW in its Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy
document lists the Trumpeter Swan as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Thus, greater
consideration by those making decisions that affect the birds or their habitats needs to be taken. Also of note is
that the western grebe which uses Lake Tye is also listed as SGCN.
This is important information because this proposed project is to be built adjacent to agricultural lands that are
highly attractive to waterfowl. In fact, the 2,000 acres directly west of the lake are a series of private hunting
clubs that plant crops specifically to attract large numbers of ducks and geese. To the south of Lake Tye are dairy
farms and another several thousand acres planted to a variety of corps that also attract waterfowl. Dairy farms
are especially attractive for Trumpeter Swans and they are just south of Lake Tye as the birds fly.
This proposed project is unique in that, to the best of my knowledge, no cable wake board parks anywhere have
been built adjacent to or within a major migratory waterfowl corridor or major winter use area.Thus, it is vital
that the use of Lake Tye by migratory birds be better understood before we build impediments that may be
detrimental to a much larger body of wildlife using the area.
Lake Tye itself is actually a staging area for fall migratory waterfowl. The Supplemental document statement
that:Since Lake Tyee is primarily a storm water facility and public park, its status as a waterfowl area is clearly
incidental.
Response:Little information has been collected that is in the public domain, however, anyone going out to
observe this area during the fall migration will likely see what I did today, October 1, 2012. I was driving out in
the area and observed a flock of Canada geese flying east toward Monroe. I followed and observed them landing
on the lake. These geese were not residents but birds migrating down from their northern breeding grounds.
Observations are listed in a table at the end of this letter. It is of note that there were three types of geese at
Lake Tye today in addition to other waterbirds.
Additional corrections to information from the Supplemental document are provided below. We have not
addressed all the errors that were found.
The Trumpeter Swan is the largest of North American waterfowl. It was reduced to near extinction by the early
20th century, but it is relatively common today. In Washington State it Winters in protected marine waters of
northern Puget Sound and adjacent agricultural lands.
Response: Typically they use agricultural fields and dairy farms that are adjacent to fresh water wetlands. These
wetlands are used for night roosting. Trumpeter swans may use estuarine river mouth areas, but primarily the

loves his avians, he does.
