I was blazing mad the first time I subscribed to your Internet service and discovered how long it took before regular service was available. In the end it turned out to be impossible to […]

1 guest is online. Google is crawling the site.

easterner : glad to see all the madness has stopped. . . cy tomorrow. . . .
easterner : we love you Bundy!!
Bundy. : No love man.....no love...........j ust the same stuff different day.
Guest_96 : let the love begin
Joe Eagle : OK, new article posted... please share your thoughts!
Guest_415 : Obama?
3333 : okay, Channel 8 is running a breaking news story. Obama has been nominated for the democratic presidential candidate. This is breaking news?
Guest_4301 : well, back to having fun. hopefully we can put this all behind us and enjoy each others convo's again.
Guest_4301 : did u catch the new name? "a kinder gentler" her lawyer mustve had her change her name for the jury.
Guest_4301 : lol 96
Guest_4301 : like Joe said... she was just fishing...
Guest_96 : and i think they called in a special prosecutor because this one is a Rebublican
Guest_96 : she sounded like it was going to trail next week
Guest_2353 : Whether they really called the police or not who knows but I guarantee the police would have just wrote it up. And the prosecutor is going to laugh hysterically at it because its so silly.
Guest_2353 : things. And if its not on a site like myspace or facebook then you can't really show a specific victim and thus can't show that someone is purposely harassing a known person.
Guest_2353 : Furthermore this wasn't a threat IMO, it was taunting which is completely different but legal. The only other potential crime is telephone harasment (this code includes internet stuff) and that would require a pattern of harassment or actual REAL threat not what this was. To get telephone harassment or its big brother of stalking you would have to show that someone was purposely harassing someone on the internet. Say following them around to various sites and posting obscene or threatening
Guest_2353 : As something of a legal expert I can say for 100% certain no crime occurred last night. For a threat to considered assault the threat maker must have the ability to carry out said threat immediately. Obviously an internet threat can't. Furthermore it was clearly a case of dirty hands with both sides contributing. If it were a fight it would be called mutual combat meaning there is no victim.
Guest_2486 : good luck!
Guest_1776 : enjoy, wish me luck
Guest_2486 : no prob. Thanks! no rush on the post. Joe said he was posting one this evening anyways. HAGN!
Guest_1776 : I gotta go, but thanks for reminding me about darfur (dang it)
Guest_2486 : yep....me too. back to business as usual I hope.
Guest_1776 : not getting anywhere except mad at each other
Guest_1776 : I'm glad that post was closed down
Guest_2486 : lol
Guest_1776 : prefer the cherry to the strawberry, i'm weird that way
Guest_2486 : or a strawberry if you don't care for cherries. lol
Guest_2486 : lots of suger with a cherry on top
Guest_1776 : uh huh, can't wait
Guest_2486 : football right around the corner oh yeah!!!
Guest_1776 : sugar sugar, pretty please?
Guest_2486 : but since you write such good posts...... hint hint...
Guest_2486 : I would but I don't know much about it. I'd have to do alot of research.
Guest_1776 : I'm okay, drafting for fantasy football tonight in one league
Guest_1776 : I was hoping the other person would write that post, but it doesn't look like they will
Guest_2486 : oh!! Hi Neme! good here,,,,how u doin?
Guest_1776 : ach. didn't notice it wasn't me. I kinda like 1776, though. So I'll probably keep it. This is Nemesis, by the way, how are you doing, CR ?
Guest_2486 : Nemesis said she would if nobody else wrote it in the next couple of weeks. that was about 3 weeks ago, so i was just reminding her.
Guest_1776 : Who's writing a post on Darfur?
Guest_1735 : Joe, you'll have to close the "Opposable Thumbs" post as well. The argument is migrating there.
Guest_2486 : Neme, dont forget the Darfur post....it got pushed down a bit. just wanted to bring it back up so you'd see it. Thanks!
Guest_2486 : nice segway! it crazy windy out....although I do love these mid 70 temps.
Joe Eagle : Speaking of moving on. How about that wind today!
Joe Eagle : One post was removed, it was for attacking many site members, and likely a using a puppet to do so. It was completely out of line and one of only a few posts that have been removed from the site since it was sold. The thread is now closed due in part to that comment. Please lets all move on.
Joe Eagle : I am thinking some fishing is going, as "Kinder, Gentler" has suggested that I was contacted by the police. I have not been contacted by anyone.
Joe Eagle : Kinder gentler, I have received no contact from any police.
Guest_6855 : pod people! ha!
Guest_6855 : she's just on a "fishing" expedition. She's got nothing! That's why she's still asking "is that a threat". Her and the hoag really are 2 peas in a pod. if not the same pod.
Guest_007 : funny how she went from "calling all hypocrites" to "A kinder gentler". That's classic.
Guest_007 : late
Guest_2486 : yeah I know. we should prob get some work done ourselves. later tazman.
Guest_007 : she left when the drama started back up.
Guest_2486 : so gato, whats up today? finish weedin that garden of yours?
a kinder gentler : it was bluer who yanked it
Guest_2486 :
Guest_2486 : well it's a new day and we've moved on. have a good one!
a kinder gentler : live chat last night which were yanked
Guest_2486 : oh well.
a kinder gentler : I already told you. there was a lot more to it. joe yanked the post. police have it all and will do the investigation. all including the things
Guest_2486 : he just said he wasn't the one that cleared the CB and I believe him. It mustve been one of the mmods
a kinder gentler : joe just yanked a comment that had the details ... but he chooses to leave up all the other garbage ... let's protect our friends
Guest_2486 : the comment I just asked u about
a kinder gentler : what was hardly a threat?
a kinder gentler : the police did ... it's going to the prosecuter
Guest_2486 : that was hardly a threat imo.
Guest_2486 : you honestly didn't take that literally did you?
a kinder gentler : no there was lots more to it than that
Guest_2486 : Was it the "where the trolls reside" comment?
a kinder gentler : and protecting his friends
a kinder gentler : he's being all cloak and dagger about it
a kinder gentler : ask joe
Guest_2486 : will you enlighten us what they were?
a kinder gentler : joe you know perfectly well what the threats were. you were sent info about them from the police
Guest_2486 : lol
Guest_439.2 : emphasis on the MORE times! LOL
Guest_2486 : nutcase!
Guest_007 : well...you know. sometimes more than others. muuuhhahahaa
Guest_439.2 : MAYbe?
Guest_007 : at times maybe.
Guest_439.2 : Got THAT right!
Guest_2486 : listen for the "clang". and steer clear if you hear it.
Guest_439.2 : Taz needs his bedeviled self tamed!
Guest_007 : oh no its catwoman!
Guest_2486 : ME?? you're a funny guy 007!
Guest_439.2 : I'm glad I'm not such a problem child.
Guest_007 : that means you need to be on your best behavior 2486! (new guests & all) lol
Guest_2486 : take care!
Joe Eagle : later, all.
Joe Eagle : We'll still need help from the users!
Joe Eagle : I've seen some new names online, it very well could have been from that. Im working on some more exposure... work is slowing down a bit so I should have more time later to get the word out.
Joe Eagle : I'm sad I missed hearing it mentioned.
Guest_2486 : nice! that should bring in some new posters hopefully.
Guest_2486 : sounds good!
Joe Eagle : Plus, someone said one of the local radio stations mentioned the site the other day!!!!
Joe Eagle : I have a new article I'm working on. I'll try to post it later today.
Guest_2486 : I was thinking the same thing...I have no idea what they were talking about. But I'm thinking they took "I know where the trolls reside" literally like 007 mentioned. Which doesn't make much sense to me....
Joe Eagle : Hey someone said something about a threat on here? I can't find anything like that. Does anyone know what/when the threat took place?
Guest_2486 : whaddaya say 2353....are you up for the challenge?
Guest_2486 : I'm sure everyone will agree!
Guest_2486 : sound good to me! thx mr eagle
