		<description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;1: My carts ARE registered! Did you notice th license plates on the back of my carts? They’re for real!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Your carts have a license plate.  As do every other gypsy Cab down town.  A license plate does not allow you to charge a fair for transporting people.  An operating authority does.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;2: I have BETTER insurance than any of you have!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

You have no idea what kind of insurance pedicab companies have.  Some have the minimum,  Some have significantly more than the minimum.  Tell us who your insurance company is and we'll be happy to call them and ask if your policy will cover you when you have no operating authority and are breaking the law by charging a fare.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;3: My ordinance has already passed, see you on the road tomorrow.  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Do you know the definition of the word ordinance? 

http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/development/codeamend.htm

Did the city council modify Austin city code section 13-2?  I think not. 
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;
4: Your only premise to keep me off the road is the fact that a select few of you are crying, whiney titty babies!!! Boo fucking hoo!!  You hide behind the your banner of “safety” except for the fact I see you with my own eyes (and camera) breaking the law on a daily basis!!  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Our premise for keeping you of the road is that illegal for you to charge or accept money for your transportation services.  You break the law every time you operate your vehicle.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;5: You were too chicken-shit to let me leave a response to the lies perpetrated by you and your associates.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Tell me where the lies are.  I would love to have a substantive debate with you on the legality of your business.  Next time try logging in with the same user name and password as you used previously.  Your comments will be published immediately.
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;
6: I didn’t go into this venture with the intent of running you out of business, but after I extended the olive branch and was insulted I will make it my mission to take each and every one of your fares.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
Olive branch?  Well if &lt;a href="http://austinpedicab.org/2008/11/22/austin-pedicab-safety-meeting-nov-20-2008/#comment-109" rel="nofollow"&gt;that is what you call an olive branch&lt;/a&gt;, I wonder what you would call an "obvious gesture designed to promote your own interests."  

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;9: To all of you pedicab drivers/owners: Most of you are cool people, I have learned that by having a few beers with most of you. let’s get one thing straight though:I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!! GET USED TO IT!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

I love that you are paraphrasing Queer Nation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_Nation

"Were here, were unlicensed electric golf carts drivers that transport people for a fee while completely disregarding all laws regulating the transportation of passengers. Get used to it"

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;10: Ken: I wish you the best of luck. Keep following me around with your video camera, because we have all seen what good that does.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Time will tell.


So Chris let me ask you this, if you are looking at this in the long term and have an infinite supply of money and patience why did start your business by operating illegally?  It seems like you could of worked to get the laws changed before you hit the streets.  Now you just look like a criminal to any potential investors.

Keep up the good work on sabotaging your own business.  </description>

		<description>Sorry of the delay in getting the additional comments up.  Normally the website sends me an email when there is a comment pending moderation.  For some reason this stopped happening.  Keep in mind that if you long in using the same email address and password, additional comments will be posted right away after your first comment is approved for publication.  

I use the comment moderation not to prevent folks from saying what they want to say, but to prevent spam from being published in the comments sections.</description>

		<description>Chris Neilson is a compulsive liar. I have determined that everything that comes out of his mouth is crap. I know first hand that his investors pulled out from under him because of his lies. Chris dosent have a little sister. I wouldnt trust him driving anything. He has a very bad temper, and uses poor common sense. He acts, then thinks. His "taxi service" is a great idea, however done with poor planing. I think that it is funny to listen to Chris spout off about laws that he has no idea about.Lawyers go to school for many years to get a law degree, not ACC. Dont get me wrong, Chris is a nice person. Its when the lies start coming out about 28 seconds after you start a conversation with him .</description>

		<description>. . . For a site that: "no personal attacks will be permitted" you sure allow quite a few Ken. . .Not that I'm surprised though.  Your (poor) use of grammar and basic spelling is embarrassing, especially in the age of spellcheck! Let me give you the Top Ten reasons why you are a dying breed:

1: My carts ARE registered!  Did you notice th license plates on the back of my carts?  They're for real!!
2:  I have BETTER insurance than any of you have!
3: My ordinance has already passed, see you on the road tomorrow.
4: Your only premise to keep me off the road is the fact that a select few of you are crying, whiney titty babies!!!  Boo fucking hoo!!You hide behind the your banner of "safety" except for the fact I see you with my own eyes (and camera) breaking the law on a daily basis!!
5: You were too chicken-shit to let me leave a response to the lies perpetrated by you and your associates.
6: I didn't go into this venture with the intent of running you out of business, but after I extended the olive branch and was insulted I will make it my mission to take each and every one of your fares.
7: ATX: Will you are a lying SOB,  Which is part of the reason you were fired from Bestwurst.  Look at my Myspace profile all you want, it won't help your failing business.  Also, suggesting that it's all well and good that one of YOUR drivers spit on my sister is inexcusable!  Have you no sense of decency?
8: Romanzoo: Learn how to spell, and try to be less condescending to those far more educated than you are.  You're only embarrassing yourself.
9: To all of you pedicab drivers/owners: Most of you are cool people, I have learned that by having a few beers with most of you. let's get one thing straight though:I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!  GET USED TO IT!!
10:  Ken: I wish you the best of luck.  Keep following me around with your video camera, because we have all seen what good that does.

I'll see youon the road tomorrow night.   Bring your futile "best efforts"!!!
