I'm not here for the purpose of bashing only to be bashing.

I'm here venting how a once well-run and managed bank, FNB of Christiansburg, has been driven into the ground by wannabe's, small town bankers who fantasize of being Wall Street Executive types.

They've taken my family's investment, one that covers three generations, and used it for their personal gain and prestige. They have yet to produce anything positive from this merger.

One recent poster was defending the bank at all costs. If the bank is so strong and profitable, I ask him one simple question:

"WHY IS STELLARONE ACCEPTING TARP MONEY TO REMAIN AFLOAT???"

It's bad enough these charlatans used my investment to increase their visions of banking grandeur, but now they're using my tax money to keep the bank alive.

Tar and feather them, figuratively speaking.
