Davaz's "Tulsa-Not-Now" Blog. Me thinks someone needs to get a life.
Tulsa-Not-Now (//%22http://tulsa-not-now.blogspot.com%22)
How did you find this?
Poor widdle Davaz got a boo-boo on our forum.[:(]
If he hates Tulsa so much why doesn't he just ignore it?!
The guy lives in Houston. Houston is a huge city, but I definitely wouldn't consider most of its residents to be forward-thinking. People in NY and LA view Houston the same way people in Houston view Tulsa.
Tulsa- too poor to support an upscale grocery store? -Bulls***. The demographics of Midtown, South Tulsa, or Owasso easily support an upscale grocery store.
As for the organic food market, Tulsa already has a successful local grocer: Wild Oats Market. The fact is, Wal-Mart and SuperTarget have taken a big share of the grocery retailers' market throughout the US, and offer many organic products themselves. That alone probably keeps Whole Foods from expanding more than anything else.
He should've moved to Davis, CA. If he thinks the grass is greener in HOU, he'll be sorely DISAPPOINTED. They are widening I-10 to EIGHTEEN lanes. Wow! The six-laners around here are enough to send me into a flying RAGE.
That's right, people. Keep paving the whole joint til the whole town is nothing but a parking lot.

How did you find this?
I was browsing around on the city-data.com forum, when I just happened upon a link to it.
I think it's kinda sad that he puts that much energy into hating Tulsa and even blogging about it.
Apparently, that's what it's like to have no life.
LOL! That is the epitome of NO LIFE.
The funny part of his ridiculous diatribe against Tulsa is that he says we don't have the per capita income to support a store such as Whole Foods.
Whole Foods, Inc. started and is based in Austin, the 84th highest per capita MSA in the country. Tulsa is the 87th highest with the difference $85 per year per person or about 23 cents per person per day difference in income.

If only I had an extra 23 cents, I would send him a postcard and tell him to F... himself.
AKiN's is also here.
but I forgot... a supermarket must be the preferred format for people who are into organic foods... guess the lack of a Whole Foods explains why Tulsa is so "podunk"... now I know... [8)]
Wow.
Just.. wow.
Davaz is a very, very sad man.
Why don't you who don't like this guy go post on HIS on website?
You just keep giving him free "press".
The guy goes out and starts an entire blog called "Tulsa-not now" and it is we who are obsessed? As far as I can tell, this forum hums right along 24/7 with nary a mention of Davaz until one of his incarnations rears its ugly head and people step in to give him his comeuppance. Stumbling across a blog by Davaz that is anti-Tulsanow and anti-Tulsa in general is deserved of some mention.
PRH, you seem to have no problem stepping in and providing some of that "free publicity," perhaps it is you who are obsessed.
And btw, with a signature like yours, surely you don't find it difficult to understand why people might think you are merely a somewhat more restrained version of our good old buddy Davaz do you?
Nice revamping of your post there PRH. Having second thoughts?
No, Snopes, I'm not having a single second thought.
I edit nearly all my posts. I even remove my own posts when I think the topic is not relevant anymore.
Nothing you can do about it.
Very intelligent response there PRH. You didn't only edit your post, you completely rewrote it. Oh well, I guess it takes some of us a few cracks to get it half right. As for posting on HIS website, I'll leave that up to his loyal followers such as yourself. I'm not going to give him that free press you spoke of in your deleted post.
No PRH, you misunderstand. Davaz has plenty of "press" on this website and it doesn't do him a bit of good. Visiting his "Tulsanotnow" website and posting there would be more of the "free press" of which I speak.
Reminds me of the old joke:
Guy moving to Atlanta ask's, "How are the people there?".
Guy from Atlanta replies, "Same as the people in last place you lived.".
Meaning if you a cool dude you find cool people where ever you go.
Now, I'm far from being a cool dude but have proved the old joke true in twice the number of cities davaz claims to have resided in: and while my time here is closing - I found cool things and people here.
Not in great numbers, but then Tulsa has a smaller population than say, "London".
That this guy has a repeated hard-on for Tulsa - which read's clear on his unread blog (unless you count Mr. Tay) - is pathetically humorous.
Free press for Tay to respond to?
Been laughing so hard I managed to forget about my play in the snow injuries, jdb

"Why don't you who don't like this guy go post on HIS on website?" - prh
1. the co-effiecents of that effort are obvious: and 2, any comment would simply be deleted, as the site already shows.
This is his life. The meaning of his life is to put Tulsa down. Because he thinks that Houston is better then Tulsa. It is certainly bigger. But not better.
I f I remember correctly his wife works while he sits around at home. So he should have plenty of time to do nothing.
Anyone care to make a Davaz-Not-Now (or ever) blog? Oh wait, we have lives. lol!
I have to say that I have been to Flagstaff Arizona quite a few times and every time I have been there it was a bad experience for me. Hmmm maybe I should make a blog about it. lol! [}:)]
Hey!
Flagstaff has several cool residents.
"His wife works, he sits around"
Hit my funny bone dead on, jdb
You guys really have to read this post. Is this guy for real?

Petty's has been around a looonnng time. You can buy 1 vanilla bean there for around $10. I'd call that upscale.
1. No-one on this thread is Davaz.
2. Snopes, chill out.
I live in the Houston area now and although love my inlaws (seriously, they are cool people) I f**king hate Houston. Davaz can think he is in a better place, I could give a rat's a$$. But if he hates Tulsa that much, why he chose sh**hole Houston as his haven just leaves me at a complete loss of words. Miles of run-down, gang-infested slums and empty repulsive-looking strips malls makes me depressed everytime I make my 90 minute commute to work. I put more miles on my car in six months in Houston than I did 3 years time in Oklahoma City. So Texas taxes are better? It cost my wife and I $300 to register both of our cars in Texas. $41.50 per vehicle for auto-inspection, $90 per vehicle for new residence tax and $61.50 per vehicle for regular registration. So, Texas charges you $90 per car just to move their.
But hey, I suppose Davaz is where he wants to be, fine. To bad he bought into the Texas scam. I hope he enjoys bleaching is shower curtains every month from all the damn mildew thanks to humidity that turns Houston into a mold patch. Surely he enjoys his commute to work with the thousands of dumba$$ drivers throughout Houston that are too stupid to negotiate a simple clover-leaf interchange.

No Editor, I will not "chill out." I DID NOT SAY that anyone on this thread was DAVAZ and if you WILL READ MY POSTS you would see that! Perhaps you should take some time and read through the crap that PRH posted about me, he admitted to PMing me with his personal information and then said that since I now know where he lives and should anything happened to his personal property or home that I would be one of the chief suspects he would turn in to the police. That is more like a THREAT and I would have thought that one of the moderators such as yourself would see it as such and berate or ban PRH, not me. I see that you read that thread but the only comment that you could make was that PRH was not Davaz. Once again, a claim that I did not make in this thread. Can you please READ the posts before you make comments like "chill out." You might want to also check out Davaz' anti-tulsanow website and see who his latest follower is (PRH)and Mr. PRH's comments about tulsa and tulsanow. They are not very favorable.
Is this how you treat someone who is trying to defend this site and the city of tulsa, by siding with some drama queen who is making false statements and threats? Once again, go check out PRH's comments on Davaz' site if you want to see who you are sleeping with.
One more thing; the comment I made in one of my earlier posts (as follows):
And btw, with a signature like yours, surely you don't find it difficult to understand why people might think you are merely a somewhat more restrained version of our good old buddy Davaz do you?
... was in direct response to PRH making claims that there were numerous times that he had been called Davaz on this forum and that he was tired of it. Of course he went back and deleted/edited that post and even the signature line to that post which read as follows:
"We Know WHY You Leave Tulsa"
So you see, you're working from revisionist history on PRH's behalf, not seeing the entire picture. And still, I DID NOT call PRH Davaz. You need to get your good guys and your bad guys straight Editor or take off the Editor hat and do something else.
I'm not a moderator, but I will say this:
Chill out, snopes. Get some rest.
Throughout history all one had to do was cast an aspersion toward their neighbor in order to deflect attention from oneself, make your neighbor squirm, or to have them burnt at the steak: Heretic! Witch! Infidel!
And Now: DAVAZ! I'm not Davaz! You're DAVAZ!

You don't seem to get the point Rwarn and you guys are telling the wrong person to "chill out." There are some deleted posts from PRH and obviously none of you are reading the following thread from PRH (to me), which I consider more than a veiled threat.
http://www.tulsanow.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5737
I'll be on my merry way never to return to this forum again. I've promoted this site countless times in numerous places across the Internet, to friends, family and just about anyone that I meet whom I think may be interested. But when someone like PRH can delete posts, make threats, and PM me trying to start a rucus and I'm the one told to chill out, it's just a tad bit more than annoying to me. I'm outta here (for good).

You should reconsider. I'm sorry to see this little tempest escape the teapot. PRH did change and delete some posts and was defensive. Many times I have felt slurred, ignored, threatened but you don't need a forum to get that feedback. I just shrug it off if I can and move on. Sometimes posters will recommend that to me.
I also read his posts on Davazz's "all negative, all the time" blog. Paul Tay is its only other poster. Unhappy people for sure.
Can't we all just get along..[:D]
You're giving Davaz exactly what he wants by starting this thread to begin with.....
unfortunately.
We choose not to let this forum be brought down by Davaz's negativity and lack of willingness to follow basic rules of netiquette. There is no need to use the forum post-critiquing and debating Davaz. Plus, even the mention of him seems to inspire the worst in most of you.
This thread, like the other, is locked.
If you think someone is Davaz, think Davaz was abused by the forum, or have anything else to discuss, feel free to PM the editor.
