For some time now Mike has made claims as to his legal actions in regards to his own HOA. While suggesting to others suing their HOA was in fact a positive route to go. Over the past 10+ years each effort on his part has failed. Most recently, he held up the possibility his efforts were not over. According to the documents available online the court did in fact just rule on one of Mike's appeals. It was denied. But by all means read it for yourself.

"08/06/2013 #12 ORDER: The petition for rehearing filed by the appellants having been considered, it is ordered that the said petition be and it hereby is denied (Cypher, Rubin & Wolohojian, JJ.). *Notice."

Now I don't have a $250 online law degree like Mike but going out on a limb here when Mike's party asks for a rehearing and that request is denied my guess not a good thing.

I just have to wonder why Mike has not announced what has in fact occured. Why not provide us ALL with an update on what he has accomplished following his own advice.

The person who claims there is some anti-HOA movement. The man who claims to be slapping down his won Board and taking their homes. The man who gives legal advice to others as if he is some authority. The man who has failed each and every time for 10+ years seems to have failed once again.

So BraveHeart to some. The voice of reason to some. The man who has a point to some. Well seems his promises, claims, predictions are to this date, as empty and hollow as his advice.

Yes, Mike had another day in court and the court ruled against him again.

But by all means read the documents for yourselves becausee Mike is unwilling or unable to pass this news along because it doesn't support his claims.

BraveHeart not so much......................

JonD1,

Steve you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Trust me I have no infatuation with Mike or his kind.

What I do have is a concern some of the more gullible visitors to this site might, as some have done, come to believe and consider Mike's advice and opinions as valuable.

I believe the popular term now is accountable. As no doubt Mike would demand for full disclosure, in his absence of doing so in his own case I will do it for him.

I have dealt with folks like Mike over the years. They reside in their own world of make believe and delusion. Even after 10 years of failure Mike comes to this site claims victory and offers insults to those who don't line up in agreement with him.

Now I am sure Mike is incapble of living in the truth. But others who come to sites like this should be provided the reality of what Mike has done versus his claims, lies, and misrepresentations.

The truth is this week the court denied his request for a rehearing of a matter that was previously ruled on.

In light of those facts it would seem impossible for anyone living within the grasp of realiy to not understand Mike's crusade has suffered yet another loss.

So after being provided the facts it is now up to those who visit here to determine for themselves whether Mike is less than forthcoming with all the details or still might be seen as some cartoon character fighting for Truth, Justice and the American Way! As he would have you believe.

Thanks for he advice but in my world 2+2=4 not some number I pull out of my head when the need arises.

Facts are facts and with Mike being unwilling to share them I will.

I find we have two types of people who posts. People who live in reality and those who live in a "Perceived" reality. Those who live in reality understand the frustrations and realities of living in a HOA. They learn and ask for advice on how best to deal with those situations or are interested in being involved in their HOA. I applaud those people who seek out education and ask questions to help themselves learn better avenues to pursue to help themselves and others. They are people new to living in a HOA or new to being a board member. A few are evened seasoned board members who run into different situations that could use another view to the situation.

The others live in a "perceived" reality or what they like to call "the REAL world". They are the ones like Mike who view the world on a different plane. There is one on here who is convinced that there is a "HOA Industry" and board members or others make money in it. They are convinced there is a "They or Them" that exist and a HOA is an actual thing. Lawsuits are what they think will make people fall and do what they want as everyone else is doing wrong. Most of the time, I find these people guilty of the things they claim others are doing.

So Mike and the others do serve a purpose. It does show what you really do have to deal with when living in a HOA. We can't just have the ones that get it and work hard. There are those who work from the more "emotional" side of things with no clear perspective. It can only widen our view of the world and assure that just maybe some education we pass along seeps through...

Melissa,

Your participation on another thread that aims to target one specific individual does in fact help educate us. Probably not what you are intending to help us dummies learn though.

You're right John must be a different Mike.

But wait Mike provided the very link to the site this information was taken from.

That was when he was bragging about slapping down HIS HOA.

Guess you must have missed that.

Juuuuuust say'n

Maybe Mike will confirm or deny this information to your satisfaction.

I believe that can document who MikeR15 is.

There have been two main threads that discussed Mikes case:
Subject: Taking your board of directors to court and Subject: Suing the HOA board.

On page three of Subject: Taking your board of directors to court, Mike, at 12/22/2012 5:58 PM, actually posted a link to the MA Court index saying how proud he was that the case was #2 in the index. That is no longer the case but if anyone checked it out at the time, they would have seen the case number and name. It was from this posting that His name was known and pointed out in various other posts (see Subject: Suing the HOA board, page 5, Jon's post on 01/14/2013 10:13 AM) and, as you will see if you read that thread, Mike never denies it. Well, since he pointed us to his court case, it would be rather difficult for him to deny it.

y'all are missing my point:

perhaps Mike15 is having fun "pullin' our 'puds"

his 'references' may or may not be actually to himself

John, you mean someone might lie or assume another person's identity on the interweb? My whole foundation and reality has been shaken to the core. To the core man.

Your right John (or should I say Melissa, perhaps Jon ), it could be anyone.
However, I am fairly confident that MikeR15 is the person in that case.

I apologize for the other thread with that other poster. Some Just will not see anything outside their "Real world". Try as you might there are people like them and MikeR that you just can't help. It can be frustrating to try to put a little "Reality" into their worlds.

We really do try to help on here. It's a bit frustrating when someone will not listen. There are many solutions available outside of taking your HOA to court. We try to find you those solutions, save you or the HOA money, or inform you of the ramifications of your actions. It is NOT always what you may want to hear.

I am no where near perfect and was just a newbie to the HOA world. After several years of being on BOTH sides of the HOA, you learn a few things that can be helpful to others. I've been a victim of my HOA and I have saved my HOA. You can choose to listen to my advice or walk away. I don't care. However, don't keep doing damage to your own HOA if there is a sliver of reality that makes sense in the advice your getting... Mike's case it's pretty obvious he's doing more damage than good for his HOA...

I will say that without knowing exactly what the case was about or how it was really argued that I can't make such a statement.

If the argument was they want me to comply with section xyz of the CC&Rs and I don't want to, than yes, Mike was doing more harm than good.

If the argument was the Board improperly voted to impose fines (which was one of the things Mike specified in his postings) and overstepped their authority, then no. Mike was (dare I say it) participating in the process and being part of the checks and balances to his Board of Directors actions. Now, as was pointed out in the two threads I referenced earlier in this thread, there were likely less expensive and quicker ways to correct that action. However, this was the way Mike chose and that was his choice.

As in all issues we discuss here we never really know the full story. We never really know who the person is bringing the issue to this site. All we can do is what we have been doing. Take the poster at face value, ask some clarifying questions and provide advice based on what information is provided, our own experiences, any research we may have done and (hopefully) some common sense that can come from not being involved in the issue directly.

As Melissa said, it's up to that individual if they use all, some or none of the advice provided. The best we can do is help them make an informed decision.

I would like to know what the lawsuit was about before forming an opinion. Don't be so quick to judge. You never know what will get thrown at you and how you will react. Life can be really bad sometimes.

John true story, back in the late 70's I worked for a private ambulance company and had a transfer from the local psychiatric hospital. They were less than amused that when we pulled onto their grounds that song was blaring through the PA function of our siren.
