    Again, everyone should be more careful about personal details in an open forum especially as it concerns their children.

    Edit to add: do you get the irony of wanting people to DM you about something that YOU splashed here publicly?

    I have never seen anyone defame you here, truth is a defense to defamation.


    He obviously doesn't understand. No one is particularly concerned about him, the concern was for his children.

    I don’t need help from someone who decided to make an issue out of nothing about how to handle my business.

    With that said…you should be smart enough to understand that comment was directed at @lacuna trying to make a point that you and others cared. I clearly understood you did not care. Which is why you went public in a way to put me down. If you cared you would not have done that. I could care less if you want to be a jerk and do what you did.

    My point is if you really thought I was being a bad parent and cared. You would not have responded like you did.

    Carry on…

    LOL!

    Not a victim at all. Calling out your behavior. Boone became a subtopic and which led to App State. We recently visited. It was an awesome trip with a perfect weather ending with snow on some of the most scenic sports stadiums you will see in this country. I tried to make a congenial post and you decide to inject yourself and imply I am a bad parent putting my kids in a dangerous position.

    You wanted this. Not me.

    That said…Lost Province was great. Liberal and dumb during Covid (wear a mask to your table and then take it off and spread away/and that does not even represent the fact masks don’t work). But I would go back all day.

    Since you think this is so funny, let me ask you something.
    Do you remember that creepy Orlandogator that posted on here? What if he started stalking your daughter? Use your head.

    I signed the release (here is the latest post from Dr. Quinn Family Dentistry)…

    The Father Daughter Dance is a special event that is put on by Ambleside here in Ocala. It began at On Top of the World and has grown to fill out WEC. Reagan went for the first time in 2012 right before she turned four years old. Ryann started going with us around the same age. This will be the first year we cannot make the event due to activities as Reagan Ryann and Hudson have gotten older.

    That said. We have been a sponsor of this event since 2012 (the first year we attended). I cannot say enough good things about Ambleside and this event. We will sponsor again this year. With that comes tickets to the event. If you would like to take your daughter out Feb 2 or Feb 3 for an fantastic night message us or contact us. You can call the office or email through the website. Friday Feb 2 the dance is from 6-9pm. Saturday Feb 3 the dance is 5-8pm.

    I do not live in fear. But I am fully aware of things. Look. Everyone has a different take.

    My wife hates social media and has not been on it for years but understands it is part of life and with owning a business can be necessary. I use it to try and connect with people and create the family relationship we strive for at our practice irregardless of politics. Am I doing it wrong? Maybe. But my accountant would disagree.

    But the true reality is I am just trying to create a bond with a group I actually enjoy bantering with. It is frustrating when you just try to do something fun to create a connection and it turns into a lecture about being a bad parent for sure. And we disagree far more than we agree. But this is one you should have just left alone. There was no reason to inject yourself like you did. But you wanted to publicly take a shot at me. I know people that lean towards your position on the issue and know those that lean toward where I am and I know people that have no limitations as to what they will post (we hire people and every single time I search the applicant on social media).

    You've done what you can and I applaud you for your efforts. He doesn't realize this isn't about his safety, it's genuine concern for his innocent children. You can only hope they don't pay the price for his indifference.

    Rich!

    Coming from the one poster who crossed all lines due to their inability to just have a differing opinion.

    You and the moderators know what you said and did not that long ago. I will leave it at that.

    My two cents: Maybe it’s partly because I don’t have kids, but I feel like some are being a little tough on Q here. And I say that as someone who is often surprised at what parents post on FB for example with details and pics of kids, houses, travel plans, etc.
