Gi—-t: Member of a Prominent Local Family
A Gi—-t is someone who belongs to a deep-pocketed local family. This particular family has been mentioned from time to time on the LU blog and Facebook, but every time their last name is used in full, certain members of that family attempt to have The LaFayette Underground shut down.
After an article about local hoodlum youth stealing signs in Ringgold, a junior member of the Gi—-t family e-mailed the Underground to complain about our usage of his last name, as quoted below:
- “You need to stop bringing up my family and reffering to them in anything you say. You don’t deserve to be able to utter the word Gilbert. My brother has nothing to do with the sign insident and I’m so sorry if we have hurt your tender feeling somehow, but you need to quit your vigilante work and do something constructive. Last time I looked you are not LU Ringgold. All you are is a coward and that is all you will ever be and nothing more.
- “Signed
- “WADE GILBERT”
In deference to young Wade’s feelings, we have adopted the Orthodox Jewish style of omitting middle characters of a sacred name to avoid defaming it.
From the Jewish Virtual Library:
- “Jews do not casually write any Name of God. .. Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.
- “It is worth noting that this prohibition against erasing or defacing Names of God applies only to Names that are written in some kind of permanent form, and recent rabbinical decisions have held that writing on a computer is not a permanent form, thus it is not a violation to type God’s Name into a computer and then backspace over it or cut and paste it, or copy and delete files with God’s Name in them. However, once you print the document out, it becomes a permanent form. That is why observant Jews avoid writing a Name of God on web sites like this one or in BBS messages: because there is a risk that someone else will print it out and deface it.
- “Normally, we avoid writing the Name by substituting letters or syllables, for example, writing ‘G-d’ instead of ‘God.'”
wat up LaFayette its Robby Wallin I live in Alabama now and it really really sucks
Haha!!
It looks to me like Mr. G____rt needs to go back to school, and learn how to spell.
Was he with Jeremy Su__ers while doing this in Ringgold/Catoosa?
On the bright side…he spelled his name correctly…hehe
You guys are idiots. You have no clue what your talking about. No one in thus town likes you. Get a life.
That’s not nice, calling people idiots. You’re the one who can’t spell, nor use proper grammar or punctuation, yet we don’t call you an idiot. I sincerely hope you’re in the 3rd grade, and not a full grown Gi—-t. Your lack of schooling would disgrace most parents.
Everybody likes us … even you.
ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
People can be too busy running a pawn shop in a financial institution to bother with grammar and spelling.
Lol. I just came across this article & giggled [& laughed out loud too i guess]. :] Mr. G—–t probably never learned how to spell properly since the teachers always gave him leeway on attendance. Awh well. But I like his usage of “vigilante”…it’s one of them fancy werds.
Man I remember you from facebook, So yea your jealous and blah and hate the Gilbert family because of some personal reason or something. Why don’t you ever mention the School property they’ve donated , or the Charity work they do, or the funding they give to all schools in the Lafayette area for school. Ive seen the Gilbert family help countless families in need and never take credit for it. And the whole Wade Gilbert message and portraying the phrase “Utter my family name” was all joke. I helped write it along with 5 other guys when we were cooking out. You do have some good debates and issues covered but come let it die. For whatever personal reasons it maybe it can be fixed with either medicine or an abortion.
money talks bulls–t walks!
Just because someone’s family does beneficial things for a community doesn’t mean that individuals of that family shouldn’t held accountable for laws they violate. Ideally, everyone in society will be treated the same by the judicial system. Unfortunately, that’s not the case because other people reason the same as Brody does. Namely, that certain members of society should be cut a little (or a lot) of slack due to what their family as a whole has done to benefit the local community. That attitude is why the Declaration of Independence was created. Or rather, one of the main reasons, it was created. Regardless of social status, everyone should be held accountable equally by the law.
The Gilberts can suck one. Noone cares who they are or what they have. If they do, then they’re naive as hell. You really think anyone cares because your name carries wait in a small town like Lafayette? Spare me. As for the “charity work” they’ve done: it’s your DUTY to help your community if you have the means. You shouldn’t be praised for it. If more of you would pull your heads out of your asses, maybe we could work to make this town better, instead of worrying about whether or not the LU (who is doing nothing more than reporting news) is hurting the feelings of some jackass who has more money than brains.
THE GILBERT FAMILY ISN’T THE ONLY CORRUPT FAMILY HERE IN WALKER COUNTY. THE ONLY REASON THEY DO CHARITY WORK IS TO GET KICK BACKS AND PEOPLE TO KISS THEIR RUDE ASSES. EVERYONE IN WALKER COUNTY GOVERMENT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, STARTING WITH THE COURTHOUSE AND ELECTIVE OFFICIALS, EVEN THE NON ELECTIVE OFFICIALS. GO SIT UP THERE ONE DAY AND SEE HOW THEY TREAT PEOPLE. ( SO RUDE AND MEAN ) THEY HAVE BEEN SO MUCH CORRUPTION UP THERE IT’S VERY VERY SAD. IT ALL NEEDS TO BE OVERHAULED. DOCUMENTS BEING SHREDDED TO HELP FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND MR. CARTER BROWN KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT. SO DOES A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. HE SAID HE FIRED THEM. HE LIED. WAKE UP PEOPLE WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER AND GET THE INTERNAL AFFAIR, FBI, OR WHOEVER IN WASHINGTON WHO WILL HELP TO INVESTIGATE. EVERYONE CALL. HELP OURSELVES BEFORE IT’S TO LATE. HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONEY TALKS AND BS WALKS HERE YOUR RIGHT. $15000.00 WILL GET YOU OUT OF ANYTHING, ISN’T THAT RIGHT MR. ATTORNEYS.
