The Nearly 100 Lies, Distortions and Contradictions Told by the Fake Board and Their Acolytes

Last Monday, December 15, 2025—

Employing the Firehose Propaganda Method

1) To get informed about what is going on. No, to misinform.

2) For first 20 years had a good relationship with the owners. No, used their position to target owners they didn’t like, especially people of color.

3) In 2005, boxes of documents were either lost or destroyed. No, the lawyer they hired at our expense stated, in writing, they still have 41 years of records.

4) At one point, for a few years, we did not even have a Board. No, it was actually more than a few years and continues to be so.

5) Some unnamed homeowner found 4 other people and created a “Board.” Yes, but totally illegal!

6) In May of this year [2025) we met the quorum requirements. No, not true, not legal, not legitimate.

7) We have worked to deal with our common areas, looking at the damage to our “private cul de sacs.” No, they deny their responsibility to make repairs to our Private Drives, like the potholes.

8) Help our residents who may have issues. Code for find ways to illegitimately fine people and pretend to help one homeowner who only needed help because they had threatened her with fines!

9) Rick Lannoye has done everything to annoy and harass. No, to watch what the Board has been doing wrong or failing to do right, and report these facts to the community.

10) That Rick Lannoye has made false accusations against the HOA and “Board” members. No, this is projection, because it is they who have made and still make false allegations against him.

11) That Rick Lannoye brought in outsiders to vote. No, he reported the HOA brought in outsiders to the last May 12, 2025 meeting to make it appear there were enough homeowners to make a quorum.

12) That Rick Lannoye has a “wild theory” the HOA was created by racists to keep non-whites from moving into the neighborhood. This was stated because it is true, confirmed by the director/historian of the Plano African American Museum, who has lived in East Plano for all her adult life and was a witness to the racist creation of the Peachtree Village HOA, specifically to keep blacks from moving in or, if they did, to harass them with targeted “violations” until they moved.

13) That Lannoye refuses to pay for the time to make copies of HOA records and redact private information. No, never asked for copies to be made, but for direct inspection, and the money their lawyer wanted was a ludicrous $4,300.00 in advance, while they conceal incriminating evidence by falsely labeling it “private information.”

14) Labeled Lannoye’s demands as “ridiculous.” No, they are all very reasonable, and are what the Law and even the HOA’s founding documents state are what homeowners are entitled to.

15) Accused Lannoye of “confusing and even frightening homeowners.” No, no one has ever stated they were afraid of Lannoye, except for the Fake Board for the fear they are being held accountable for having done serious things wrong. The homeowners who have been “frightened” are only feeling this emotion because THEY HAVE DONE ILLEGAL THINGS and are CORRECTLY SCARED they may have to answer for them in a Court of Law! Any CONFUSION stems from the Fake Board’s multitude of LIES about what they’ve done wrong or failed to do right. It’s precisely their strategy to counter act the truth about their misdeeds by THEIR creation of confusion!

16) Labeling all efforts by Lannoye to hold the HOA accountable as “harassment.” No, watching what they’ve done and are doing is long overdue.

17) Falsely accused Lannoye of “slander and misinformation.” Again, more projection and nothing more than unfounded aspersions.

18) Labeling their being held accountable as “demands and attacks on the HOA.” No, it is the HOA who has been attacking homeowners for decades, again, mostly non-whites.

19) “We had no option but to bring in legal help.” Translation, because they were getting so close to being caught, they used OUR money to cover up and obstruct access to the objective, incriminating evidence they refuse to divulge by pay a lawyers to use all sorts of delaying and obstruction tactics.

20) Running up a legal bill in excess of $10,000.00. In fact, it’s probably much higher.

21) “We learned the only way to stop this harassment is to file suit against him.” Except they don’t want to pay this lawyer out of their pockets, because he wants around $50,000 up front, knowing it would be frivolous suit. Otherwise, he would have offered to work on a contingency basis.

22) Later, Cheryl stated the legal fees were $11,000.00.

23) Blamed the cancellation of 2 property management companies on Lannoye, instead of owning responsibility for THEIR mismanagement and illegal activities for their cancellations.

24) Stated Rick Lannoye has no authority to be part of Homeowner Election Committee. Not true! The Peachtree Village HOA homeowners have every right organize a vote, either for a new Board, an Interim Custodian or to dissolve the HOA, and sending letters to HOA homeowners to give them a chance to express their choices is NOT mail fraud.

25) They also demanded to know the names of everyone on the Election Committee. Why? If it’s true they actually had a quorum last May 12, 2025, it wouldn’t matter…unless they simply want to target, persecute, intimidate and frighten into submission anyone, such as the Election Committee members, just as they have done to Lannoye.

26) Accused Lannoye of confusion and division when it’s the HOA that has and wants to continue to divide us one against the other, by inciting homeowners to complain about their neighbors’ decorations and maintenance, so they can get around being accused of stalking homeowners and residents.

27) Information of “Home Sovereignty Movement,” falsely saying the Union is a part of some weird group that began in the 1970s. Completely false!

28) “Everyone who buys a home in Peachtree Village voluntarily made a contract and agrees to the CCRs. No one can come back later and say ‘We’re not playing by those rules anymore.’” Except the Board does this all the time. When they don’t like the rules that limit what they can do, then they make this exact claim!

29) Falsely claimed they would have spent more time taking care of the Common Areas and homeowners. No, they say the Common Drives are NOT their responsibility, ignoring the impending water crisis by wanting to waste 10s of $1,000s. on a new irrigation system that will soon be banned by the City and “taking care of homeowners” is code for persecuting homeowners with fines!

30) The legal fees have half or our reserve funds. So $5,000. on top of the $10,000 balance they inherited from the previous Fake Board.

31) Whined about the Fake Board being an unpaid position, like they didn’t know that.

32) Blamed Lannoye for causing chaos and division. More projection!

33) Pleaded with the homeowners present to file written affidavits of harassment against Lannoye. That is, to make false, sworn statements against him, which is itself a crime (Class B Misdemeanor)!

34) And wants to file a petition, and charges against the Union. Petition to whom? Charges of what? Not liking being held accountable, much as the Fake Board hates it, is not a crime, but the responsibility of all homeowners, and it’s been long overdue!

35) Called on the homeowners to sequester themselves from the helpful information provided by the Union. Translation—they don’t want anyone else to have any influence over our community, except for themselves, and no longer have to be questioned or challenged when they do something wrong.

36) Threatened the filing of a restraining order against Lannoye. But that would require evidence of crimes being committed, and they have none!

37) More projection by accusing Lannoye of the very things THEY have and hope to continue to cause—annoyance, frustration, stress, fear, confusion, invasiveness, etc.

38) Wanted to get more email addresses and sign up for a portal. In order to have more influence and better able to spread lies and disinformation at a lower cost than by US Mail.

39) Offer us your suggestions. Which is exactly what Lannoye and others tried to do, only to be completely rebuffed since they want sole control over our community.

40) Denied Lannoye equal time.

41) Placed signs on common areas, though that is exactly what the Fake Board did last summer with their “Meet and Greet,” and which they had no problem with when it was to advertise the May 12, 2025 annual meeting.

42) Forbade anyone from giving their 5 minutes to Lannoye, so as to severely curtail the ability to respond to their dozens of falsehoods and distortions.

43) While trying to appeal for equal time, Cheryl, angrily yelled, “Rick, this is not a meeting called for your debates,” as she left the front podium, marched up to me and yelled in my face. Falsely labeling the appeal as “interrupting,” when, had the meeting been following Robert’s Rules of Order, as Cheryl had said they would be conducted, motions from the floor should be allowed. Once more, the Fake Board demonstrated they are NOT interested in any debate, regardless of how civil. They want their voice, and ONLY THEIR VOICE to be heard, allowing only for those who agree with them to speak, but otherwise, “It’s our way or the highway!” She then agreed, “No motions from the floor!”

44) This is Alvin, our “Vice President.” No, he is not. We have no Board of Directors, so no one is holding any legitimate Board position.

45) Alvin Shepherd misquoted the Texas Property Code pretending it only requires a Board to hold an annual meeting, but that is NOT all it says. There must be a quorum at an annual meeting before an election may take place, and if not, and the Board (this would be a legitimate Board) must try again to hold another meeting in order to get a quorum, which did not happen and, therefore, the homeowners are entitled, by Law, to form an Election Committee after 30 days.

46) Shepherd also lied about Lannoye requesting a vote recount. Not true! The request was for evidence of a quorum—the sign in sheet and proxies—which they REFUSE to divulge!

47) Shepherd also LIED, when he claimed the Texas Property Code forbids homeowners from inspecting HOA meeting sign in sheets and proxies of an annual meeting, pretending “only a county judge, county election official, justice of the peace, or county voter registrar” can see them. The quotation he was citing (Sec. 209.0057 Recount of Votes) has NOTHING to do with Annual Meeting sign in sheets, nor proxies, but homeowner requests for voting ballot recounts! Sure, in a ballot recount, only certain officials who are sworn to independence may see the ACTUAL BALLOTS of a given election, in order to protect the SECRECY of who any voter voted for. But this is NOT the same thing as the records of who was "present" at an Annual meeting! This is just one more attempt to HIDE the fact the May 12, 2025 Annual Meeting had met the necessary minimum (called a "quorum") in order to have the grounds to hold a vote that would count for anything! But the HOA, with the help of employees from Goodwin & Co, falsely claimed the quorum had been met and, then, proceeded to hold a fake vote.

48) Annual Meeting sign in sheets and proxies are just like voter registrations, which are PUBLIC RECORDS, which is why political parties and candidates are able to find out who voted and when in any given past election, though not specifically whom they voted for! The only thing secret is who a homeowner or proxy votes FOR, but the persons who attend annual meetings, in person or by proxy is NOT SECRET!

49) Barry claimed he had seen the sign in sheet and proxies, then said no one is allowed to see the proxies!

50) Barry then said, falsely, that Texas Law calls for the use of proxies. No, the Law says either proxies or absentee ballots may be used, but he made it seem like ONLY proxies can be used.

51) Barry, “We don’t have to give these records to you.” No, our Founding docs and Texas Law state a Board has to, limited only be business hours, and a 10 day period to set up an inspection time and place.

52) Barry claimed there were 39 homeowners present in person or by proxy. “The proxies were carefully examined and counted by 2 people from Goodwin!” If so, then why deny the plain evidence to prove it!

53) Barry claimed Goodwin had no incentive to skew the election, just because they were quitting by the end of June 2025. But they did have because they were part and parcel of this last and multiple previous fake elections, but thought by skewing one more election in favor of the people who hired them, could be assured their selected winners could and would prevent anyone from seeing what they had done, illegally. Sure enough, their selected winners have done just that so far.

54) Barry also lied about Ms. Aldridge not being subject to deposition, unless she is named in a lawsuit. Not true. She would be critical witness and very much subject to be deposed or directed to answer a court order interrogatory.

55) Pat Beets falsely accused Lannoye of harassing my tenants. Not true! Actually welcomed them to the neighborhood in Spanish.

56) Beets falsely alleged Lannoye put asphalt on the common area. Not true. It’s dirt that has not yet had the planted grass seed grow in.

57) “I spent 40 years fighting unions.” He was a post office supervisor, so he, merely for using the same word “Union” in the title, redirects his prejudice against workers unions as good reason to be against the Neighborhood Union.

58) Russell Thompson, 3028 Plumtree Lane. Not the owner—Monica Lambert is. He called me a “Dummy,” and before and after the meeting called me other names. Asked if I got a permit for the addition, and while I couldn’t hear him at first, I informed him I most certainly did, from the City of Plano, and even if I had wanted to get permission from the ACC, none has existed for many years, if not decades.

59) Cheryl to Janice Wheatley, a one-time assessment of $500 will be needed to take Lannoye to court. But she told a “white lie,” because the only way to charge any extra assessment is to raise the maximum by a homeowner vote of 67% or more, and once raised, any Board could raise dues, all on their own to the maximum. And then she did say “We may have to look at an increase in our monthly dues, blaming not what THEY spent on a lawyer to cover up their misdeeds for severely reduced financial balance of the HOA

60) Melva Comer asked Lannoye about his experience, but Cheryl did not permit Lannoye to answer, but supplied her own, false answer.

61) Cheryl, falsely, claimed the vote for an Interim Custodian is illegal. Actually, it’s the Fake Board which has no right to act on behalf of the HOA, especially to spend funds, and the homeowners have every right, if not a duty, to elect someone to legally take charge of the HOA temporarily with limited authority to take care of the most pressing bills and obligations.

62) Cheryl, “He ain’t getting any money.” “He’s not getting a dime.” She made it sound like the members of the Election Committee have to submit their information to the County Clerk for ANY vote, but this is only required BEFORE a new BOARD election. No such requirement is needed for an Interim Custodian, nor for a Dissolution vote (though AFTER the results are in, the Election Committee will submit the results to the County Clerk).

63) “All of this [the homeowner/resident activities to hold the HOA accountable] is because Rick is not getting his way.” No, it’s about the all the homeowners and residents being abused, harassed, and deprived of their homeowners’ rights.

64) Cheryl, “He knows how to give out misinformation on a grand scale.” No, it’s accurate information about what the Fake Board doesn’t want the homeowners to know.

65) Sophie Rainville (2909 Mulberry Ln) What evidence does the HOA have the Union is linked to the Sovereign Citizen Movement? Cheryl, “That’s my understanding, yes…his actions basically fall in that category…when he started his website Rick said it did [was connected to the Sovereign Citizen Movement]. No, not at all! The Neighborhood Union is working in concert with several national homeowner rights groups, such as, the HOA Reform League. But we’ve nothing to do with any group that doesn’t recognize the authority of the US and Texas Constitutions.

66) Sophie’s question about the potholes. Cheryl, “We’d love to take care of the some of the issues, but we’re too busy responding to Lannoye.” Wrong! Cheryl and rest of the Fake Board have, adamantly, stated the potholes are NOT the HOA’s responsibility, though our Founding docs, in 6 different places, state it is for the HOA to repair, preserve and maintain all Common Drives. Their excuse? Falsely labeling pothole repairs as a “capital improvement.”

67) Craig Williams got it completely backwards about the homeowners being responsible for street repairs, because that’s only if we were to dissolve, which Cheryl emphatically denied!

68) Cheryl keeps shirking her responsibility, such as, to argue the City should fix our potholes due to the heavy garbage trucks. Problem is, if ever she went the City demanding they do some “Capital Improvements,” she’s likely to be laughed out of the room!

69) When Mark Windsor said he’d put in a record request for the sign in sheet and proxies, Cheryl said, “We’ll take that into consideration.” Code for, “No way!”

70) Falsely claimed to have had several HOA management companies who offered to take over from Proper. In reality, they spent a month and half looking and were turned down by everyone, until they got an offer from Steven Mammen.

71) “Rick is not operating in the best interest of the homeowners,” referring to our efforts to prevent even more of our funds going to for profit companies who would help the Fake Board do their dirty work, harassing homeowners with all sorts of allegations and threats of fines.

72) Barry, only half joking, suggested the Board directors should get paid!

73) Phyllis Jerrell asked how much the attorney was paid and what did he do? Barry answered it was Goodwin & Co. that recommended Casey Meyers, but LIED when he said Meyers’ processed them. NO! He did nothing other than to say it would cost $4,300.00 to make copies of the 41 years of records, nor anything about paying people to make redactions, though I was very clear I wanted to conduct a direct inspection. At that time, Meyers said, in writing, NOTHING about redacting any of those records. Cheryl jumped in “You don’t get that. You don’t have a right to all the records.” NOT true.

74) Barry described HOA dissolution as “total disorder and sovereign homeowners running their own house,” like that’s a thing, when it clearly isn’t! All one need do is look at all our surrounding, HOA-less neighborhoods where they are NOT in disorder.

75) Then Barry admitted that attorney Meyers advised the previous Fake Board to “establish ourselves as a duly-elected Board,” meaning, they were NOT a duly-elected Board prior to, not for many years, if not decades! He also confessed they could not even figure out when was the last time there was a duly-elected Board, blaming lack of records, as if to say there were some, just not documented.

76) Barry lied about the Cease and Desist following multiple records requests by Lannoye, when in fact, that was the FIRST letter he sent from the previous Fake Board, before any records were requested. He tried to characterize a C&D from an attorney as if it were a judge’s court order and carried some judicial authority that must be obeyed, when it was nothing more than a letter filled with threats and meant to intimidate.

77) Barry lied about having to buy redacting software, but he had told me he had been using a 30 day free trial, so he did NOT buy it!

78) Once more, Barry lied, saying Lannoye asked for a ballot recount. No, never did. I asked only for the evidence about a quorum, not what happened afterwards in the illegitimate election.

79) Linda Fuller suggested using the $500 each “assessment” to fix the potholes. Once again, Cheryl repeated the LIE that the homeowners on a particular street to fix potholes, because she’s sticking to the LIE that their repair is a capital improvement, and she kept calling our streets “cul-de-sacs” so as to evade the Founding documents clear statements about the Private Drives being the Board’s responsibility.

80) Cheryl blamed Goodwin and Proper for not having produced a single financial statement since last May! It would actually be quite easy for anyone who knows basic arithmetic. All they have to do is get the account statements from the bank, and do the math!

81) Cheryl kept telling the homeowners not to listen to anyone besides the HOA.

82) Cheryl lied again, saying homeowners and renters can come to the monthly meetings to get help. But when Lannoye or any others did this, they snubbed us, starting last March 3, 2025.

83) Cheryl also said we want to “communicate with our homeowners.” Code for tell them only what we want them to hear, and do all we can to prevent them from hearing anything different.

84) Mimi, using projection, accused Lannoye of twisting things, when that is exactly what the Fake Board does

85) Cheryl lied, saying Lannoye reported the Fake Board to the Texas Attorney General that “they dismissed it.” Not true. There was one complaint they said needed to be brought to a different law enforcement agency. They did not even take up the case, but only because it needed to be handled by a different part of the government.

86) Mark Windsor suggested arbitration, but Barry blew it off by falsely claiming the Union was not legitimate. In other words, no, they do NOT want to sit down and negotiate. They want their way only! Once again, he tried to say their many attempts to identify for targeting any and all others working with the Union is their excuse to not negotiate.

87) Cheryl lied about when Lannoye was assaulted by Curtis, the landscaper, and Brenda, claiming I refused to tell her which homeowner it was. Only Brenda was a homeowner, but she was right there and say how she slammed a door on my backside.

88) She then ended with trying to get homeowners to file a false, sworn police report alleging “harassment.”

89) Cheryl’s mother threatened me with a lawsuit if I continue to accuse her of embezzlement, which she can do, but then the evidence would all come out that she and the others on the Fake Board have, indeed, embezzled us.

90) Mimi lied, falsely claiming I called her a “white wanna be” and a racist. No, I never called her any names, much less “white wanna be,” but have called out the HOA and the Fake Board for their racist agenda and actions.

91) Mimi distorted and lied about the issue of helping an elderly homeowner, but the problem was that it was the Fake Board who had been threatening her with fines if she didn’t get her yard picked up and her fence fixed. So, to manipulate their threat into a phony “help,” the Fake Board wanted me to get volunteers to help pick up her yard and fix her fence, which we were happy to do AFTER the Board stopped threatening her with fines. The help she needed was with her yard. It should NOT have been to help save her from the Fake Board’s attacks. Then she said they would do it, but they’ve not done a thing!

92) Mimi went on, as others on the Fake Board did, repeatedly, about how she was not getting paid to do the Board’s work, as if she didn’t know that before! Whining about how hard it was. Well, why not quit then?

93) Mimi then lied, claiming Curtis had not run away from the police after he assaulted me and torn down my small barrier for the native plant experiment.

94) She then falsely claimed I had thrown myself in front of a lawnmower, when actually, I put myself in front of Curtis to keep him from tearing down the barrier.

95) Then Mimi complained that I took a video of her house, her front yard, full of rocks. It was actually 2 photos, but the point is that she is all upset when it’s HER house being photographed, but she has no problem having spy cars do the same to others, in order to accuse them of so-called violations and then threaten them with fines! Double Standard! She tried then to say it was OK for her because they had been there for 27 years…which is exactly what we’ve been saying is wrong with the idea of reviving an ACC to enforce rules against things that have been either passively or actively permitted for many years, if not decades!

96) Cheryl lied about our warning against a $500 annual dues increase which would be very possible if the community were to approve raising the assessment ceiling another $500 to carry out their hollow threat of a lawsuit.

97) Barry and Cheryl ridiculed Lannoye for placing signs on the common area without permission, but they were fine with signs when it was for their annual meeting or the so-called Meet and Greet last July. Once again, double standard!

98) One of the Fake Board’s acolytes, while discussing the HOA’s creation for the express purpose of excluding blacks from Peachtree Village, exclaimed, “Why don’t you go after those Muslims that are building that town!” Apparently referring to the Muslim community around 14th Street, in East Plano. Yes, this HOA is racist, not just toward African Americans, but other minorities as well.
