Jack Epstein, a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer, has written:

"The Juniper Hills town council is now trying to distance itself from both Woodard and Nueva Germania. Council President Vance Pomeroy said the town has created a new Web site -- www.juniperhills-ca.org -- and will ask the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which assigns domain names, to shut down the original Web site."

I would like to remove the Jack Epstein reference, as it appears to have been placed with vindictive intentions. It is a quote from a sensationalistic article published over two years ago in a Northern California newspaper bearing no relation to Juniper Hills. The placement of the quote here seems to me biased, offering no information about the original Juniper Hills website. I am not interested in disparaging the current Juniper Hills Town Council (which by the way has absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia user "Robert551", a Bay Area woman who has a public access TV program), as this group makes itself useful. However, if you will take a moment and have a look, JHTC Minutes reveal a primary interest in real estate holdings and values vis-a-vis County water issues. The original Juniper Hills site, on the other hand, holds closer to the true spirit of this Los Angeles County bedroom community. In tandem, the sites complement each other. Please cease the vindictive postings--it is unWikipedian. As for removing accurate, useful links under various guises that administrators apparently lack the time and patience to examine, this is also unWikipedian. Grow up.—FunkyLady (talk)

Do not remove comments from talk pages. The material quoted is directly relevent to this topic. -Will Beback 17:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I did not mean to interrupt a meaningful exchange—it just seemed an example of someone using Wikipedia toward unproductive, vindictive ends.—FunkyLady (talk)

[edit] How is the post vindictive?

How is the post vindictive? I wrote to the real Juniper Hills Town Council and they expressed to me personally a desire not to be confused with Juniper Hills Net. Yes, I am a woman who had a pubic access show, my identity is no secret, but vindictive action is the owner of Juniper Hills Net posting my home address on the history page, which was removed by the administration because terror tactics are not allowed on Wikipedia. I have no problem if Juniper Hills Net wished to be a separate entry from the real Juniper Hills Town Council. I object to Juniper Hills Net pretending to be the real Jupiter Hills Town Council. They are a nice group of people who do not wish to be associated with the ideas and topics of Juniper Hills Net. I suspect Funky Lady is indeed the owner of Juniper Hills Net posing as another user. She is not, she should go to the Juniper Hills Net website, and click on the Nueva Germania, and check the links because he has created a link himself to the same article by Jack Epstein. If he wants people to see the article, then how is the post vindictive? I also emailed Jack Epstein after the article came out, and he is happy with the article, and feels no need for a retraction. Everyone is happy with the article, as far as I know.--Robert551 17:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
