Please, let's be fair to Mr. and Mrs. Weiss; he is a happily married man by my estimation. He has to be; his wife must be a Saint to put up with him.
Let me take this opportunity to ask Wolf to take the opportunity to tell us how he REALLY feels about Melissa Callahan...
...assuming you can with taking a rolling-pin beat-down from your better half, Wolf.
I would also caution you about unnecessarily upsetting Melissa...I've been on her bad side and no one wants to go there, trust me.

Replying to:
There was a rumor going around that Wolf is in love with Melissa, but he badmouths her as a cover up.
Howling Wolf.
Everytime Wolf sees Melissa, she brings out the wolf in him. AHWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Mike Foulks, be careful what you say to Wolf, Wolf might send his wolfgang after you. That's how he got his name, WOLF-GANG. Get it? HA! HA!
No, no, no, and...no.
Wolf said it: "Mike Foulks doesn't offend people". Too bad for me that Wolf is known to be wrong sometimes.
Forget the soorry-ness and save the pity...let's talk reparations!
I consider myself One Of The Luckiest Guys On The Planet. Anyone who has watched me play pool long enough would probably agree. A lot of that isn't "luck" though. Don't be fooled by appearances. Making it look easy is actually "harder" to do. I'm always up for a challenge.
Conscience...check. Sense of decency...check.
Can I be cold-blooded? You betcha. Can I be cruel? THE CRUELEST.
The only lack of self-respect and respect for others I've shown recently is when I went all-in pre-flop with a pair of deuces against two big-stacks likely to call.
I got what I deserved...a false sense of victory when the dealer flopped 9-9-7...and despair when the turn brought another 7 which ruined my low pair.
With no deuce on the river, I lost about 5 gallons of gas to Ace-High. Oh, the humiliation of defeat.
"Luckily", I had enough self-respect, I mean, "money" to respect, I mean, "pay" Carriage Cab on the way back home.
I would hope that you could demonstrate an exercise of such self-control by refraining from your catty comments or penchance for aliases here on CabMarket.com for a while, Wolf.
You don't have to quit permanently; just quit when you feel the urge. It's that easy.

Are you a
sorry sight?
sorry excuse?
sorry mope?
sorry mug?
You don't offend people, you make them feel soorry for you and pity you.
Like, "Awwwww, the poor thing. The Unfortunate Mike was born without a conscience or any sense of decency. And he has no self-respect so how can one expect him to respect others?"

Message: I will not associate with any schlongs (or pussies) that refer to cabdrivers as "mugs" or "mopes".
Elitism is thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else and therefore your opinion counts for more...
Disassociating with non-cabdrivers who insult cabdrivers with (lies and) elitist terms like "mugs" and "mopes" isn't elitism...
It's called integrity or self-respect.
Come get some, Wolf-howl, if you can keep your fangs off of Tang and Nathan's schlongs.
-Mike Foulks
This guy isn't a leader, just a trash talker. While I did read that Mr. foulks takes credit for the current surcharge, I personally do not have any respect for his conduct. Mike, respect gets respect and vulgarity among co-workers cannot be forgiven. You, Mike Foulks, do not seem to have respect for anyone.
Some of the qualities a leader has: 1) Looks like a leader to earn respect and show self respect. Does not appear to be a homeless person 2) Treats his fellow co worker as an equal. 3) Finds ways to open the table for discussion without starting a civil war. 4) Finds the root of a problem and goes to work there.
There is a term in the English language for some one who goes on the attack to cover up his own short comings. Can someone help me here? Thank You , Ahmed R.
Okay Ahmed R., now your pre-disposition against me is becoming more clear.
First..."schlong" is similar to "schmuck" in its reference to the male anatomy. Its connotation here is "dummy". It's an alliteration (words having similar sounds) to Wolf's full name, "Wolfgang".
"*****" is a reference to the female anatomy, and used both in reference to males and as a facetious nod to the fact that we have females worthy of some derision amongst "cabdriver organizers" who wouldn't be clearly covered by "schlong".
(Let be clear and I assert that I am not referring to Melissa Callahan; she is no "*****". I am referring to many males who actually lack the courage to confront me, let alone anyone else, in a safe enviroment like this public Internet forum or more privately in a simple e-mail.)
Second...Mr. Weiss has made thinly-veiled "warnings" against me which suggest he might do me physical harm for me exercising my right to free speech with my honest opinions and comments. The obvious reference to the homosexual act I suggest Mr. Weiss is symbolically performing represents the "worship" and "fealty" Mr. Weiss offers Mr. Tang and Mr. Nathan, and also his subservient position in their relationship...Wolf needs Mr. Nathan's free legal services and Mr. Tang's requisite approval to enjoin Mr. Tang's friend, Stanley Shen, and the other Asian co-plaintiffs on this misguided, co-dependent lawsuit against the surcharge ordinance which is the only thing which gives Mr. Weiss especially, and Mr. Tang and Mr. Nathan any current relevance.
Finally, to move on to your errors...
I am an elected leader of a group of more than 50 cabdrivers. I have been a less formal leader of many more.
(I can talk trash with the best or worst of them, Ahmed R....why don't you go back and read ALL of the postings on this website and tell us your opinion of Wolf Weiss' and Donald Nathan's "trash-talking"?)
WHERE DID YOU READ THAT I "TOOK CREDIT" FOR THE CURRENT SURCHARGE???
You are simply mistaken. Mr. John Henry Assabill, President of the Ghanaian Cabdriver Association, and I went on record at the Transportation Committee hearing as recommending they vote "No" on this surcharge proposal from Mayor Daley.
I would also assert that I have been the most vocal opponent of any surcharge of any kind; it is a complexity which has been used to delay our inevitable and much-needed fare increase.
The irony is that Wolf Weiss claimed credit for suggesting this to the Commissioner a long time ago when the City started publicly talking about them "studying the Seattle model". It was non-cabdriver Prateek Sampat who wanted the City to give us a "temporary surcharge" last spring/summer...over half of Chicago cabdrivers do not like it and wouldn't ask for a surcharge of any kind at any time. WE WANT AND NEED A TRADITIONAL, REASONABLE FARE INCREASE.
The irony is that Wolf Weiss is suing the City to repeal the surcharge ordinance. While I support the idea of eliminating this surcharge, I don't believe that either the legal avenue they are pursuing or the lawyer who is on the case is worthy.
In the meantime, we must continue to organize ourselves and prepare to fight for a fare increase.
Ahmed R., Wolf Weiss is not my "co-worker". He is a fellow cabdriver. I have no respect for you if you truly believe that "vulgarity among co-workers cannot be forgiven"...
...if mere words aren't "forgivable", then what can be "forgiven"?
Are thoughtful lies more "respectable" or "forgivable" than honest-yet-vulgar expressions?
Ahmed R., if I "do not seem to have respect for anyone"...then why did more than 50 cabdrivers participate in the first CCO election? If I don't have respect for you airing your opinions here, why would I bother replying with this message?
How does my appearance suggest to you that I might be homeless?
I can easily earn more than the average cabdriver and I subsequently suppose that I live in a more desirable, and thus, expensive, area than you.
Here's the difference between you and me here (and most of the rest of the cabdrivers who are reading this)...
...you seem to know what I look like and want to cast a judgemental insult...WE DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!!!
I have constantly communicated and attempted to communicate with all relevant parties much more often than they have done likewise.
What "civil war" have I started? I'm not in a "civil war"...if that's what your group wants to believe, then your "leadership" is misleading you.
The root of the problem? Non-cabdrivers who are pretending that they are just here to help us when they have an agenda that obviously includes telling lies about other cabdrivers and their organizations and a belief that they MUST be the only ones to "save us".
I don't know what word in the English language you are looking for...I am not "covering up any shortcomings"...you are...
...what are my "shortcomings" that I am "covering up"?
Please go back and write down all of the questions I've put to you and others in these threads...
...I've answered a lot of your questions and addressed almost all of your points...
...you've yet to answer or respond to many of mine.
