If you have read previous threads where TM posted comments like this, he has been defended by some as this being his attempt at humor.

jkjoshuatree · 10-05-2010, 12:19 PM

It's too bad he (or anyone) thinks this is funny.

To each his own, I guess. Oh well...

...he insults people and continually brings up the money (or lack thereof) issue. Seems to me someone may be a little insecure about their financial situation, so to make up for it, they are rude and offensive to others.

Makes sense. Hey, we all have insecurities. But the difference between a man with tact and one that resembles a Neanderthal is knowing when to keep one's opinion to himself.

But I digress...

...and he's a business owner no less, who relies on the public to keep his business going? No, can't be.

I bet his kids hijack his posts...there is simply no way an adult would act in this fashion.

Is there?

He wants to make sure there are enough empty seats for his friends that enjoy his humor. I intend to do my part by not taking up space there.

Yup,I'll be spending my "petty change" anywhere but WTB based on his offensive attitude on this forum.

What's the point of telling off potential customers when everybody knows which business?

And it will survive just as well without your petty remarks.

This is the type of post that doesn't belong on the forum and why I often wonder why I bother. This shouldn't get through...period.

sa meredith · 10-05-2010, 02:58 PM

I posted a similar reaction to his responses in the WTB thread, and then had it explained to me that somehow we were all supposed to know that it was just his sense of humor.
He even then chimed in "wow, you people are so easy to get" or something along those lines.
I don't get. Maybe it's just me.
Certainly kept me from spending another cent at his place...for what was a very average sandwich to begin with.

Maybe that last sentence was uncalled for? Probably.

It could be that Tommy spends a lot of time flaming people online at unmoderated message boards.

His comments seem a bit ... trollish.

Which is OK in context, but such cavalier dismissiveness could turn around and bite his sandwich in real life.

Oh well, the world always needs clowns.

Imagine what isn't getting through! You bother because as a whole Winnipesaukee.com is great!

I wonder how much busier the Lobster Pound has been since this ad appeared?

I hope very busy.

pondguy and tommymack spend a lot of time slapping each other on the back here.... I wonder if their postings are related to a specific IP address?
