In my opinion, one of the MAJOR problems with Becky and Robert is precisely what I raised- that to them it is nothing but the world against the people they seek to represent (but do so in a self-announced way). They rail against the police in SC for arresting someone, but they never, EVERY as whether that person deserved to be arrested. They highlight the plight of about 20-40 homeless individuals on Pacific Ave, but NEVER seem to do anything about the many (thousands, in their estimation) homeless people who are not nuisances and public safety issues. They NEVER are present in any dialogue that helps solve the larger issue; they villify anyone who is not 100% with them (and no one will EVER be 100% with them, let's be honest); And lastly- they do NOTHING to help people move out of homelessness, they only rail against the "system" so they can get more self-publicity and stay relevent in their own minds. Meanwhile, many of us (and I am not an out of town troll) are working our butts off every day, both in our day jobs (you know, Becky and Robert, the thing that we need to do to make money to live, unlike you) and in volunteer positions to help the homeless.

The reason why many of us do not give our names is that Becky and Robert, while marginal individuals, still seem to have enough credibility that, should anyone who lives and is active in this community step up against them, they would be blasted by B&R. And, as we all know with their reporting (esp. Becky's) they are EXTREMELY one-sided in all they do. Robert may say things like "anyone is welcome to join my radio show" but anyone who ends up debating him ends up having words put into his/her mouth by R, being asked to conform to the world as he sees it, etc. There are no degrees to these two, so even though they sleep in comfort on their own, anyone who doesn't join them in their strangely personal crusade on their terms is against them.

All of these traits (which are hard to put into words but easy for anyone who knows these two to understand) make it hard for some of us to accept them.

Yes, I fully and heartily appreciate what Mr. Belote has done, which is why I didn't say anything until Becky popped her big head into this string. I guess I just feel like I bite my tongue 90% of the time, and sometimes I just can't take her/their hypocritical, egotistical attitudes anymore.
