Are you sure you're giving us the whole story, Robert?

What about the mental illness? The hostility? The hatchet he carries in his coat?

I spoke to a Parks & Rec employee familiar with this person. She's dealt with him before.

Apparently your Johnny there is quite the wingnut. He would come day after day, asking question after question after question. Over and over. It was absurd, repetative, wasteful, and pointless.

They would tolerate him to a point, but then it became obvious that he John wasn't interested in answers to his questions. He was just there to challenge people in positions of authority.

Worse, when she or any other P&R employees would stop answering John's endless stream of redundant and frivilous questions, he would become aggressive and angry. Every time. (Here they contrast his behavior with yours - they say that you at least keep your composure.)

The last time this happened, he made visible the hatchet he carried inside his coat.

Is it any surprise he was subsequently barred from visiting any city office, after a pattern of behavior like that?

John Golder has established himself as a frequently aggressive, unstable, obnoxious, insincere, and potentially dangerous wingnut. He starts out quiet and soft-spoken as you say, but then he loses it and gets out of control.

John Golder is probably mentally ill.

John Golder also does not normally go into P&R to do records research. You staged this as a publicity stunt, didnt you Robert?

According to the SCPD, the restraining order was still valid. It was not expired. Are they lying to me? Perhaps. I wouldn't put it past them.

But given the above ommissions on your part, given your propensity to avoid full and complete disclosure, I wouldn't put it past you either.

This is journalism only by the modern standard, Robert.
