I feel the direct reference you are looking at Tellurium is something that you have taken out of context. Rob did indeed make a reference to Jezebel but it was not on the point of airing out anything. It was merely an example of how being more direct could spark up conversation. You and Jezebel both rushed out here to defend Philly against something I think you perceived wrongly. Which has ventured us very much off topic of this discussion.

However, even though off topic it has drawn interest and I feel this proves Rob's point that being more direct does get more people involved.  As for what you and Philly do, well.. that is your own business. You believe it to be brilliant, great, that is your own opinion but now you bring forth things and refuse to go further. I am sure it could lead some people guessing. Whether that is in your favor or not only time will tell.

Thank you greem, chestbrah, MalcolmShepard and Bozeman for your thoughts on what draws you out into the streets. I do enjoy a good discussion as much as anyone else myself. It is good to get some more insight though as I hope that more things can be done to draw everyone out. Seems like discussions and very specific ones will do that.

Dusty I just would like to be clear - you feel I have gone off topic relating to your original speech, you highlight that and challenge it and then add to the off topic communications? Interesting...The discussions in the streets are now to be topic based and restricted to that?

Maybe you slept too well but in the previous days I have spoken to you already 'on topic' in this regard - your memory maybe fails you when you say others that have and forget my chat with you and people here?

Surely you don't want to be selectively accepting on words that please your ear?

No one 'ran out' to talk here - a specific topic was raised regarding our city - a worse outcome would of been to hear nothing from PH. I think if you go back in your memories I have been selectively vocal as needed in the streets so I am surprised to hear you think I am a new voice here?

Perhaps your speeches are really the only ones you listen to? Just a thought!

I agree with what Jezebel said about Philly 100%. I believe that in order for Philly to thrive or anywhere for that matter... could be NY or Chicago or just a crew in general you need to have good leadership. It can't be all about power, that only gets you so far... however being smart and using good choices to be a good leader is what makes any crew succeed.

As far as your question on why others like to hit the streets and what interests them I would say its all for different reason's. Everyone has their own story and some like to see things from other people's perspective. Some like to read on why a family got wiped out, or how someone got to be godfather or godmother. Others like to create their story by explaining the things they done. Killings, collections, robberies, beatings... things along those lines.

My reason is to let others look deeper into who I am so when they call me a friend they know who I am and what I stand for.

I must say Dusty the question's you ask are good ones.

As far as Philly is concerned I believe we are going in the right direction and need to continue the path we are on.

And Dusty if you feel my reply went off topic ask me or anyone who replied exactly what you are looking to hear so either myself or anyone else may answer your question. I do hope my first response was what you wanted to hear, because from what I read I covered both topics.

After an attempt to steer it back on topic it once again went off topic. Did I state I was angry about this? No. In fact as I have stated numerous times I do enjoy seeing people share their ideals or not. I wanted to know what sparked people into coming out to speak up and this seems to have done it. I think this proves the point in which Rob was making. Although I could be wrong, he is very capable of speaking for himself.

The one part that I did challenge was that it seemed you felt you needed to rush to a defense of Philly and that people wanted you to air your dirty laundry regarding your city. However, I felt that was not the case and challenged it. Once you came out here discussing what happened to Philly, you kind of opened the door for the communication in which people would be speaking of Philly as more than just an example. Perhaps it is gossip but the gossip was kind of started on the part of Philly themselves.

My speeches are not the only ones that I listen to. I have been paying attention to what everyone has been saying, which is how I came to observe that we did go off topic. Was there an attempt to right this? Sure. Am I upset or angry about it? Not a chance.  I think you may have gotten upset and accused me of something that is not entirely true though. I listen to what everyone is saying, I speak up on the things I can and do notice. 

Thank you KL for sharing your thoughts and adding into the conversation. I do appreciate it. I have heard some of your stories and they are quite enjoyable. I am glad I get the chance to say that now as I do not feel while I am listening to them that I often get the chance.

Do not worry yourselves about what it is I want to hear. I enjoy the discussion well enough whether someone is telling me what I want to hear or what I don't. Honesty is key to communication I think.

I cannot help but to read this and see what you have recently said to Dusty and I have some words of my own to add to this Tellurium. So let us begin with what is simply said, you say that Dusty only listens to her own opinions yet many times she has come to me and we have had lengthy discussions about opinions agreed upon and disagreed upon in an attempt to see each others point of views. She has been doing this to everyone recently and it makes me glad to know that someone has a voice capable of being able to view others points, share their own, and not back down due to what you said as people being afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Now to continue on, I have heard of Dusty, I have had mails in my box from Dusty, and yet she has no responsibility, no obligations, yet I don't know who you are? You set up in this city of Philadelphia, you take reigns of said city, you want to do things right yet you had a Crew Leader you had to kill who killed his own hands a few times and then you let their Right Hand live and set up despite the fact that she was just as responsible for his actions as he was considering that is what being a Right Hand means, she should have tried to fix it and done everything in her power to keep him alive yet she did not.

This is all coming from an outside view too, in an outside view since you don't do as much as introduce yourself to our city and attempt to have a working relationship all I see looking at the city of Philadelphia is failure, I see a completely torn apart city within mere weeks versus the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas who are still thriving and despite the unfortunate downfall of Bozeman which was not even possible to do anything to prevent, you look like the first failure to this project yet you are trying to belittle other people while failing yourself.

Dusty smiles over at Bronx-born_gangster  as he shares his thoughts.

Thank you for voicing your thoughts on this matter.  It is good to see that curiosity could get you speaking up. It never hurts to ask questions I find if you can ask them without being rude. My line has learned it the hard way itself and I am proud to be able to ask a lot of them now.
