ELLEN FOX HAS MADE A CAREER OUT OF PERSONALLY ATTACKING PEOPLE SHE DOESNT LIKE

You can view most of her paranoid history at the site below:
We watch as Ellen Fox plays 'victim' as she disrupts lives of others

ELLEN FOX COMEDY BLOG

Besides the paranoid personal attacks on me and my pals miss high and mighty has the nerve to make statements like this:

Al, ya need to step off the fence you've been dangling over for the last several years and make a decision. If it's Union - then SUPPORT your Union family. If it isn't then find a life!!!

ELLEN-LISTEN UP:
I don't subscribe to your love it or leave it theory!
Trimet f'ks up they will be held accountable if I can do it.
The union f'ks up I will hold them accountable also!

Me and you go way back, and have had some very high profile disputes.
Neither of us is gonna change a thing just because the other thinks this is the way to do it!

I have no intention of changing one thing I am doing.
You know why? Cause I enjoy it!
You just don't have the slightest clue as to what a transit geek is, actually you don't have a clue about much of anything.

Sorry my 'life' doesn't agree with you, but I could care less what you think.

CLASSIC TWEETS

ELLEN FOX BLOWN OFF BY STATE SENATOR

This comes directly from her blog, obviously the state senator found out who he was dealing with and thought better of meeting with a KOOK:

We made an appointment with Senator Chip Shields last Spring (2011) to discuss the possibility of creating new laws to protect all citizens regardless of age from Cyber Harassment. He changed his mind about meeting in Salem after we drove 3/4 of the way. We then headed back to Portland to meet with him at a coffee shop he suggested. After waiting nearly two hours, I called and he accused us of not being there when he arrived. (the man didn't want anything to do with this woman. Of course Ellen didn't get the hint-she is so in love with herself she can't accurately discern the world around her.)

TRIMET TICKET EXPIRATION ILLEGAL?

So says this reader:

W7ENK said... Expiring old tickets without a printed expiration date would be in direct violation of Oregon State Law.

http://pdfcast.org/pdf/trimet-tickets-ors

W7ENK said...: Per the definitions made in ORS 646A.274 - Definitions for ORS 646A.276 and 646A.278, one could make the argument that the same applies to TriMet transfers. A TriMet transfer is "a prefunded record evidencing a promise that the issuer will provide goods or services to the owner of the record in the amount shown in the record."

Additionally, TriMet transfers do not fit the excluded definitions, as those very specifically outline "prepaid telephone calling cards, prepaid commercial mobile radio services" ... and "...usable with more than one seller of goods or services."

THANK GOD TRIMET SPENDS MILLIONS ON MARKETING

SIX FIGURE SALARIES COME UP WITH SHIT LIKE THIS:

Me and Ellen have actually been doing better this past year, but she still likes to blast me whenever she gets a chance:

Supervisors have a right to question WHY NON-EMPLOYEES are riding the system walking around the Bus Mall and Transit Centers IMPERSONATING Bus Operators. SERIOUSLY, why are these guy's masquerading US? Could it be they're scamming the system for free rides or are they DEPRIVED for ATTENTION?!!!

Actually Ellen, as usual, you don't know what your talking about, sorry.
There is nothing in the TRIMET CODE (which regulates all the actions of fare inspectors/supervisors) that gives any one of them the authority to question the dress of a Trimet patron. At no time did any of these people 'impersonate' a Trimet employee. I got a legal opinion on this. There is nothing in the law that prohibits any citizen from wearing a Trimet uniform, its the same as wearing a 'costume'

And you better believe I am protective of the people that contribute to my blog. Unlike you they are not getting paid $25/hr

I know you see yourself as the 'defender' of Trimet employees, but in reality you're just a kook.

TRIMET HAS NO SENSE OF DECENCY

Nothing boils my blood more than the ticket machine fiasco and the complete and utter disregard Trimet has for its riders. Actually expecting riders to keep looking for a machine that works is about as bad as government can get.
But this is Mcfarlanes Trimet. Lies are spread without any conscience, propaganda is used by the boat load, and its ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT.
TRIMET REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING!.
Many of us are waiting for Sale vs Trimet where all the dirty laundry that Trimet fascists have tried so long to hide comes out in the open.
It's coming folks!

@trimet PLEASE fix your validation machines (T093&T094)! I don't want to go around town just to validate and don't want another ticket!!!

Trimet-setting the standard for professionalism

Actually this is better than the signs they used in the past. In the past it looked like a kindergartener made the signs.

"I USED TO RIDE TRIMET"

OnlyOne:
I used to ride the Tri-met
I used to take the 71 over to 66th and walk it
Now every May I'm gone 'til November like Wyclef (I'm out)
The grind is real and no one's lowered the price yet
[...] is thirty-two times ten and I don't write cheques
Life-threatening moments move towards me, I side-step
High-tech, high-def, Ziplock, Pyrex
I dissect life, sometimes it's too hard to digest
