It is regrettable that you are now forced to go to a very anti-Leopold, even more very anti-native-indigenous St. Martiners-newspaper to rid yourself of your 'wannabe-desires'.
Of course, you both now form a very unlikely 'anti-St. Martin tandem', brought together by your collective resentment against the 'messenger' of the revival of the pride of native-indigenous St. Martiners.
But just for the record.
Such anti St. Martin alliances, matter not, in any form or shape, mind you.
The public understands that you had to find some other 'outlet', after the Daily Herald, last week 'threw in the towel in the ring' to save your hide from more public self-humiliation.
Nevertheless, 'Ger de Melkboer', fair is fair and I like to be fair, even if others enjoy not returning me that favor...
Again no problem.
In my humble opinion, without apologies though, the core-observation in your letter to the editor (Help- Genocide in St. Maarten) made a lot of sense.
Of course, however as is your trademark, you NEVER have the courage and/or intelligence to also propose a serious solution. Obviously, you prefer to remain the 'clown', and 'the eternal wannabe so many things', which again, do not get me wrong, Ger, is perfectly 'legit' and certainly understandable, since YOU would not wage a 'tachtig-jarige oorlog' on our behalf.
No, that was good for YOUR native-indigenous 'Hollanders' back then against the Spaniards (1568 to 1648).
Also Ger de Melkboer, I like your implied 'challenge' to me, for which you know I never back down.
However, let us 'rumble' in a much bigger arena than just in a struggling, local, very biased publication.
Let's us from now on 'rumble' online.....
The audience is much bigger, and will also include people who know you very well, from your days in the wide 'Polder', which we can share with others as well, so they know what a 'deal' we got in having you in here 'Paradise', ridiculing the people of this island.
And GdB, please do not forget to prepare our family also for your new global celebrity-status, which might affect them as well.
For sure mine never complained, when you did that to them in your many 'documentations' on my person.
You set the time, 'Melkboer' and I choose the place for our 'world series blow for blow exchanges' .

Meanwhile, thanks for promoting the Leopold JAMES/NATIONtalk/St. Martin Nation building' trademark and please do not stop publishing...even in the local bias publication.
