So this is weird... I was following Derrick E Grayson on Fakebook (https://www.facebook.com/tmotofga) and I messaged him the other day....
The other day he posted a complaint about people calling him TMONT instead of TMOT, so I sent a private message saying The Minister of (new) Truth and he seemed to like that with his reply... and then the next day I read his Fakebook profile and saw he was a Senior Engineer at MARTA (http://www.itsmarta.com/) so I said in another private message:
I just saw you work at MARTA.... isn't that a government entity, or quasi-government? As a constitutionalist, how do you feel about that service? using eminent domain for building the infrastructure and parking for MARTA, etc...
His reply:
Wrong tree pal..Have a good day.
So I said:
Don't understand... seems contrarian.
And he blocked me...
Weird... Someone who preaches the Ron Paul and Rand Paul message with 500+ or so "drive time" videos on YouTube and is running for Senate under the same message, works for a local government organization that uses eminent domain to seize property to create a transport infrastructure around Atlanta. All I was asking him was if he saw a conflict of interest at all with his views and beliefs, and his job.

Was my question out of line? Was it not engaging in reasonable dialog to understand if he believes what he states, while he works for an organization that appears to be counter to that, if it is a conflict? If I was incorrect in my thought or question, all he had to do was let me know where my thinking was wrong. Necessary evil, etc...
I was a supporter of his and told others about him, but even if my assumption/question was wrong, his reaction has turned me off totally.... blocking me for an honest question... wow... I don't like what your asking, so I will block you...
Be careful of those who speak of one thing, while honoring another...
