Dave,
Your ass umptions are riduculous. I did not threaten any law suit, I
stated that there is "liability" in making slanderous statments as was
done with the headline of the post. Your Ass umptions that you know
the "truth" about BRC is totally incorrect. SNIP SNIP

Well Jack I see you are still beauregarding it. Amazing: You enter the
thread trying to intimidate, then you play the coy abuser, sneering that
your "liability" crap isn't a threat, and now you play that you don't know
about the BRCs ties to foreign companies and friendliness with extreamists.
But maybe you know of another West Yellowstone guy named "Jack Clarkson?"
You know, the fellow who likes to dress up to look like a police officer and
intimidate people?

That couldn't be you could it? Because that guy seemed to be behind some
sort of organized effort to intimidate other West Yellowstone and Montana
citizens who wanted to curb late nite/early hours snowmobile use (11:15pm to
5:45am) in the town where the bars close 3am. I guess this other "Jack
Clarkson" didn't think he was threatening when he dressed up like a cop and
ran around taking pictures of people. Did they ever lock that other "Jack
Carlson" up for impersonating a police officer?

Here's a quote from the High Country News of 4/1/01 on this "Jack Carlson"
fellow.


"To hell with" the people who want a curfew, says Jack Clarkson, who works
as a counselor, runs a summer resort, used to run the Chamber of Commerce,
and was also elected to the city council in November. "They need to take
their head out of their ass and see they live in a town that lives on
snowmobiles."

Clarkson confronted staffers and volunteers of a Bozeman-based environmental
group, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, when they came to town in February
2001. They boarded Alpen Guides snowcoaches in town and were about to drive
into Yellowstone Park to take photos of snowmobile traffic there. Clarkson
leaned into a coach and snapped photos of them. At the time, he was wearing
black pants, a black shirt and a black cap with a West Yellowstone Police
logo.

Several people in the coach live in town and complained to the police chief,
saying Clarkson seemed to be pretending to be a cop. "It was intimidation -
what on earth would you call it?" says one, Bruce Coan.

"So here we have the ex-president of the Chamber of Commerce, interfering
with my business," says Alpen Guides' Carsley.

"I just took some pictures of the people who were going to take pictures,"
Clarkson says. "Anyone can buy one of those hats at (the town police
station) for $15." He got rid of the hat after a talk with the chief, he
says.

"I think the town has regressed," says Scott Clewell, whose attempts to
scratch out a living here include a stint as police chief in the early
1980s. He says he got a faceful of hostility in a local bar recently. "I
just said I thought (quieter snowmobiles) would be a nice way to quiet down
the park," he says, and a woman whose family is in the snowmobile business
drenched him with a beer.
