and if he had read the end of the diary, I basically have given both chickenhawks a full way out because it's more about justice than money. However, I have no problem having them put on a witness stand or called for a deposition and having them torn apart for their lies and thuggery.

How do you define justice? My version doesn't include frivolous lawsuits and stalking RW figures. His intentions may be honorable but his approach is not part of any solution. I'm just taking the opportunity to disassociate myself from him and his actions.

frivolous lawsuits? (8+ / 0-)
Recommended by: {Hornito, wishingwell, mrkvica, homogenius, Tonedevil, reflectionsv37, kissydee, meatwad420}

First, none has been filed yet. And since my SOL runs a year, don't call a lawsuit frivolous when there is none.

Second, I've only sued someone once before and trust me, you couldn't have more compelling facts and evidence than what I had/have. (Not discussing this so don't ask.)

Third, I know the elements of false imprisonment in the state of NY and they match up like a tee to what Boyce did.

And guess what? Their lawyers know it too which is why they are losing their minds over me. Why would he spend 40 minutes of his nationally syndicated show yesterday on me otherwise?

I shall not rest until right wing conservatives are 4th party gadflies limited to offering minor corrections on legislation once or twice a year.

I think you're getting your rocks off being sanctimonious and contrarian. If you only wanted to "disassociate [yourself] from him and his actions", you would have posted a reasoned rebuttle and walked away.

Sorry, man, but you're jonesing for this shit big time. Mebbe you should think about cutting back on the caffeine.

WHY WERE THESE OTHER "PEOPLE" ATTACKING HIM? WHY WERE THEY MAKING HIM OUT TO BE SOME OBSESSED, DRAMA QUEEN/KING LOOKING FOR 15 MINUTES OF FAME? FINGERIT, SUE ME FOR THINKING YOU ARE COINTELPRO. YOU ARE AN EVIL PERSON, IN MY HONEST OPINION. YOU CAME AFTER ME FOR MY DIARIES AS PREPOSTERICITY. YOU GOT ME BANNED FOR NO GOOD REASON FOR TELLING TRUTHS ABOUT BRETT KIMBERLIN AND LARISA ALEXANDROVNA. NOW I SEE HOW YOU WERE AFFILIATED WITH THAT ELECTION INTEGRITY CROWD. THE GIG'S UP. YOU COULD EVEN GET THE SPEEDWAY BOMBER, MR. PROLIFIC JAILHOUSE LAWYER, TO HELP YOU FILE THE CASE. BUT GUESS WHAT? NO ONE CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY SUED FOR SLANDER IF IT'S THE TRUTH.

I don't interpret your calling my TR'ing ridiculous a personal attack, because it refers to an action of mine, not my worth or qualities as a person.

However you called multiple people on this comment thread "clueless," which does refer to their qualities as people, and that's a personal attack.

It's a simple distinction and the one I always use when [deciding] whether to troll rate.

Censoring posts (1+ / 0-)
Recommended by: {mrkvica}

is something that the forum does automatically after four troll ratings. Read the FAQ. Indicating that you think a comment is troll-worthy is not an attempt to censor, and the comments are still visible to trusted users.

I don't know Karen, and I'm quite happily married, but thank you for the gratuitous and insulting inference that we have some sort of relationship beyond agreeing that you're being obnoxious. It only serves to confirm that observation.

Like I said, you did it to yourself - and I am sure you will again, from the sound of things, because it's clear there are some things you're incapable of learning.

And while frankly you don't matter to me worth a sideways damn, I do enjoy it to the degree that it's great to see a netkopp being told he's off the case and to turn in his gun and badge. The system is fair, even if you're not. You'll get yours - and it probably won't even have to be from me, which is the best part.

I've picked up 5-7 d0nuts here--which has temporarily turned off my TU. The "while you can" part refers to its imminent return and nothing else. Not one of my comments here has been hidden and each received more Recs than d0nuts thus I do not appear headed towards the autoban. I guess you're used to settling for small victories. Enjoy it.

The "victory" I'm "settling" for (0+ / 0-)
is exactly proportional to the amount of ego you have invested in this argument, and that is clearly not small given the sheer amount of energy you've devoted to fomenting angst, insult and pointless argument in this and other threads.

You're the one looking for "victories". I am merely rejoicing in the enactment of very real justice. There is a difference - something you have yet to learn; which is a great deal of the problem, but it's YOUR problem. "The abyss also looks into you", to quote a phrase.

So you can take this and turn it into a personal vendetta, or you can actually take a step back and consider what you yourself are doing wrong. I don't really care which. One will eventually get you autobanned, and the other won't. It would be nice to see you making some sort of attempt to contribute to the community, but especially after what I've seen here today from you, I'm not holding my breath.

Is there much difference between DFQ's antics and the don't tase me bro guy (although he hasn't wrestled with cops yet)

Nobody likes the grandstander at any event. The person who comes to "tell you a question." Putting these diaries as the #1 recommended demeans this site. It looks like a 9th grader's antics against a rival clique, or worse, like the freepers.

Remember above how Bouldin {MBNYC} gave contradictory rates, like a bait and switch. In the UGOG files, they talked about throwing people off the scentg this way. Abbeysbooks believes that Blu Vertigo might be Lauren S from the FSZ.

The don't tase me bro guy refused to stop talking, was asked to leave by a legitimate authority, and didn't leave. DFQ was never asked to leave by the store manager, but agreed to after it was all over. The person who called 911 had no standing to do so.

He went to a Mark Levin book signing to ask him a question. Hannity's manager called the police - they were in a "No Question Zone" obviously. Dave is considering legal action against them for various reasons. Levin is losing his mind, and he is upping the ante by calling on his listeners to harass Dave at home and his place of business.

If anything happens to Dave, Levin is is deep trouble.
