I want to thank Brian Schoeneman for building this outlet and garnering the good will and reputation it has today. His participation in the political process and discourse is to be commended.
I am excited to take the reins here at NOVA Common Sense. I will continue to provide solid coverage and commentary as I have always done. I will continue my best efforts to adhere to traditional journalistic standards so that I can maintain a body of work that is of high quality for our readers.
I want to extend my gratitude to our loyal readers. The feedback I have received in-person, on the phone, and online has been tremendously positive.
Over the next year, there will be many changes coming to this outlet for news and commentary. I look forward to taking this outlet to new heights.
About Phil Tran
Fantastic news, Phil. Glad to see you and Brian work this development. I’ll follow closely!
Need anything…call.
And keep the 19th open, friend!
We expect nothing less from you and have full faith in you.
Good news Phil. Glad to hear you’ll be continuing here. Now maybe you can stick to your posts and not be cohered into taking them down.
Truly I find your views interesting and worth consideration. They advance debate.
cohered=coerced
Good luck, Phil!
I also want to thank Phil Tran for taking a stand for inclusion. Disagreement on any issue of public importance does not require hostility. For me, politics is about winning friends and influencing people.
Thank you, Phil!

Phil, it’s probably in your best interests to ban Will before he takes over every thread with his inane comments as he’s done on the Patch and other blogs.
I thank Phil Tran for taking this outlet to a higher level.
Unlike Brian Schoeneman, Phil does not find it necessary to attack people personally and to lie about them.
Unlike Brian, I welcome constructive criticism and diverse opinions to move our community and our nation forward. To prove my point, I challenge Brian to make a cogent argument against anything I have written. Inane? Prove it.
Thank you Phil for making your own stand for inclusion of diversity.
Will, you’re not significant enough for me to attack personally and I don’t lie about anyone.
Your comments speak for themselves. And yes, they are inane. If you don’t know what that means, look it up.
If only he would stop signing his comments everywhere with his tagline and link I could maybe deal with him better.
Will, take it easy on the constant self promotion.
Phil, there have been two comments from this person about me. He says a person he has only met once is not significant. Yet, he keeps writing about me in this forum.
Ironic, don’t you think? It’s sad that he tries to sully your important announcement.
I am a member of Mensa. I am an ordinary American working to help create effective, sustainable solutions to the challenges confronting our community and our nation.
His efforts to insult me are inane, meaningless, frivolous, illogical, laughable and only reflect poorly on him.
Phil, thank you!
And my point is proven.
Loudoun Insider, thank you for the constructive criticism.
I include my email often so people can reach me directly outside this public forum. Many people have found me on blogs and sent me questions or requests for help.
In a culture thick with insularity and cocooning, I want people across political and socieoeconomic spectra know I am listening and taking responsible action.
Loudoun Insider, thanks for the feedback. I will seek to adjust appropriately.
Skins just got their first 3 points – back to the game! Thanks.
Reply to BS: What is your point?
We ordinary Americans missed it. What point did you prove?
Did you prove you are obsessed? Perhaps, you have proven your own vanity.
BS, your point was obviously meaningless, inane because we need you to point it out. And we still do not know, do not care what you’re talking about, BS.
Skins: 17 Giants: ZERO!
“I am a member of Mensa”
Woo-hoo… in 8 years of commentary, I’ve never once whipped that one out!
You need help, dude.
Woohoo! I know the definition of simple words like inane and do well on standardized tests. Woohoo!
Mr. Radle does not appear to be listed in the American Mensa online member directory.
NWR, now we are really getting into the weeds. First, BS tries to insult my intelligence and suggests I should not participate in this forum.
Now, some people cannot stop talking about me and start focusing on the important challenges confronting our nation. I want to do my part to help ensure our nation endures and thrives. I look forward in hopes of celebrating our republic’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
We just commemorated the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the USSR. Fiscal and economic challenges caused their collapse and threaten the nation established by Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and Mason.
At my home, we are frugal. There is no benefit to having multiple Mensa members paying dues in the same household. Why would we need two copies of M Magazine and two copies of the MWM newsletter that’s now mostly online? If we attend a conference or participate in a SIG, we go together.
Any questions or can we move forward?
LI has his Monk; Brian has his Will.
BO, speaking only for myself, I see Ll and I expressing our appreciation for Phil Tran’s work and congratulating him on his acquisition. BS used this thread from Phil to try insulting me.
I am not going to accept meaningless attacks from BS without responding. Phil Tran would not accept such nonsense and neither do I.
If BS wants to make comments that actually enhance the conversation, I am listening.
He could perhaps say something nice about his successor at NoVA Common Sense.
Peace out, BlackOut.
Then the lies start coming out.
Bulletproof has his LI….
Not the other way around.
Hey, you were on that end of the usery stick, too weren’t you, BO.
You were handily convienant for a year of your life. Then we all went back to where we came from and made it happen where we are now…..cept’ for you losers.
BM, you’re right. It’s like BO is trying to say we somehow got owned. WRONG
Let’s move forward. Who’s going to win the NFC East or the Iowa Caucuses?
Good grief, who is the one who has continually changing sidebars on his little website all about me? Bullet Box remains creepily obsessed with me. What a tool.
I dangle bait in the morning before I walk out. I come back in from work and see that you hit that bait so hard that you cleared the water and jumped into the damned boat.
It’s very satisfying.
I fear that 20% of the 20% that actually votes in Iowa is too stupid to do so.
Paul is gaining, for some unknown reason to those of us who are still sane and don’t smoke dope.
He’s an idiot of the first class, and he can’t even find Iran on an Atlas, it appears.
All I see when I look at him on the TV is “it takes a tough man to raise a tender chicken”. And then he sticks his head in the sand like an Ostrich.
That enough?
Yup! Got that one right.
Paul is gaining for one simple reason: ground game, something most of the other candidates, if not all, apparently lack.
How many times have we seen reporters show campaign offices in Iowa are empty with no activity while Ron Paul’s people are organized and active?
It’s boots on the ground at this point especially because none of the candidates are stellar.
Still an obsessed creep.
So you’re not a member, but your wife is? Ok.
Brian already congratulated Phil in his original post announcing the changes.
The only person who insults your intelligence is you when you write retarded comments like the ones in this thread.
Go back to assaulting people in parking lots and stay off the internet.
Your obsession and need to repeat old lies and hide behind masks is what’s creepy. Is there anything you want to talk about besides me? Seriously, how am I showing any obsession when all I am doing is writing responses to your gibberish?
Now, you are bringing insults against people with developmental disabilities who deserve respect and dignity. Brilliant.
Frankly, it’s clear you are sophomoric children.
Old lies? You admitted it. You pled guilty.

But you’re right – it is clearly an insult to developmentally disabled people to equate them with Will Radle.
If you don’t want people to talk about you, quit posting.
NWR, so you do admit to your obsession. I accepted an Alford plea to an incident involving self defense accepting known consequences and maintaining my innocence.
Apparently, you want me to stop fighting to increase household incomes for American families, to lower the costs of American production, to invest in human capital, and to help ensure our great nation endures and thrives. I will not stop.
Not sure why you want to keep babbling; but, you will not slow my efforts in working for the best interests of our community and our nation.
What have you done? Nothing. Posting on blogs? Give it up.
With over 20 years experience serving on state, regional and local public committees as well as nonprofit boards, my focus remains creating effective, sustainable solutions to the challenges confronting our community and our nation.
I wrote the only comprehensive economic and fiscal plan my Representative in Congress, James Moran, has ever submitted to the Congressional Budget Office for analysis in his time – over 20 years – on Capitol Hill. My plan directly benefits every American household by increasing income, lowering costs of American production, eliminating our deficit and reducing our debt while expanding our investments in human capital to help ensure future Americans fulfill their greatest potential.
Now, I am working to succeed him.
Joke, please tell us what have you done lately? I am listening.
I was fed a bunch of crap by a serial loser who is clearly not right in the head.
Please don’t assault me.
Joke, you bore me and Common Sense readers who prefer a more edifying encounter. You can keep your insularity and ignorance. They seem to please you for now.
We are moving forward and wish you the best in your future mastication.
