Commenter Yikes Responds to Bob

This guy continues to amaze me. I know I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but I am baffled at how little Bob actually knows and his righteous indignation.

Let me first say that this was a tragic accident and I feel bad for the boy's family and everyone else involved.

I have known the man who risked his own life and saved 2 of the 3 boys that night for more than 20 years and that is how I KNOW the details of what actually happened.

And as usual, Bob's facts are 100% wrong:

"We have firefighters at the stations full time that could get ready on the way, with the right set up."
After 2 different neighbors called 911, there were plenty of emergency personnel on scene within 10 minutes.

"And the boy held onto the boat for a bit. Some have been under frigid water for an hour and have been resuscitated."
The boy did not ever hold on to the boat. All 3 boys were about 12 feet away and a rope was used to pull them from the ice into the boat. The boy that died was simply too cold and weak and could not hold onto the rope after being in the water for a few minutes.

"For two hours, people had to wait for someone to come and get a boy out of a frozen lake. Two hours."
No one was waiting on anything - certainly not 2 hours.

"And if the results were the same, it wouldn't be because people had to stand around doing nothing because we didn't prepare properly."
Tell that to the man that saved 2 of the 3 boys and the emergency personnel who were onsite. Bob, you are a joke and wouldn't risk your life for anyone - plus what are you pushing, about 400lbs?

"Pure negligence is all it is. And you want to attack me. A 16 year old boy is dead now because of negligence."
This was an accident and although this is probably not going to be popular, the only people who were negligent were the boy and the grandmother.

Unless there would have happened to be trained ice rescue personnel living next door (with gear) on the lake, nothing else could have been done. And again, if not for the hero and local emergency services, there would be 3 dead. The entire rescue event was over in about 15 minutes.

Bob, you really are a disgusting moron and a world class idiot. Not only are you ignorant and uninformed, but you are stupid and will say absolutely anything without regard for anyone else, even a dead 16 year old boy.

Every time you open your mouth, you provide further evidence of why you will never be in any position of authority and will never be respected.

Bob Freeman Using Tragedy to Attack Trustee and Firemen

http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5371

Bob has sunk to a new low.  He is using the tragedy of a teenager drowning to attack the trustee and all county fire departments.  Here are some of his inflammatory statements:

"Lack of planning on your parts caused that boy to die."

Caused that boy to die?

"Flat out negligence on the part of every single fire department in this county."
"Pure negligence is all it is."
"A 16 year old boy is dead now because of negligence."

You are accusing every single fire department in this county of negligent homicide?  I'm sure they already feel horrible about the incident.  You don't need to make things worse.

"I bet you would be hard pressed to find ONE that wouldn't volunteer to take the training.  Oh, Rodney probably wouldn't, but the real firefighters would.  I take that back. Rodney would even train, if it meant another trip for four to Florida."
"I hope you're proud of yourself Fred Barkes. Spending the money on maintenace buildings and radios and cars for staff that you don't need. Spending the money on raises for yourself and family."

Here he is attacking Rodney Ferrenburg and Fred Barkes, which I believe is the real purpose of the article.

Why does Bob rant and rave about something he knows absolutely nothing about?  And Bob neglects to mention that if he were the trustee, the $6000 would not have been spent on training and equipment for cold water rescue.  It would have been spent on poor relief.

Response to Bob

"What does that have to do with this story?"

Then why didn't you delete my comment for being off topic?

"Are you saying the problem is we have nobody here willing to do it?"

No.  Are you saying that this is all Rodney's fault?  Or Fred's?

"Are you volunteering to pay for the training and the equipment?"

No.  Are you?

"But yea, I'll train to be one."

I'm positive you are unqualified for the job.

"Flat out negligence on the part of every single fire department in this county."

So I guess you are saying they should all be charged with negligent homicide?

"And then you say that our firefighters are unwilling to train to be an ice diver?"

Where did I say that?

"Oh, Rodney probably wouldn't, but the real firefighters would.
I take that back. Rodney would even train, if it meant another trip for four to Florida."
"I hope you're proud of yourself Fred Barkes. Spending the money on maintenace buildings and radios and cars for staff that you don't need. Spending the money on raises for yourself and family."


And this is what the article is really about:  attacking Rodney and Fred.

"Then are you gonna have Dude attack me in here because you were too stupid to have your priorities in order?"

Fred Barkes does not direct me.

More Insanity From Bob

"Some idiots think making statements of fact is inciting violence."

What statements of fact?  Don't you mean opinion?  Oh yeah, I forgot, you can't tell the difference.

"Some people on a blog that hardly nobody reads have once again accused me of inciting violence."

But you read it Bob.  And why write an entire article about it if "nobody" reads it?

"The same group of idiots that have threatened my wife and dog, and threatened bodily harm to one of our posters, Lucy, in the past, are accusing me of inciting violence. One of the posters on the blog is known to be one of the trustees sons, Jeff."

I have never threatened Lucy, Bob, his wife, or dog.  It's not the dog's fault that Bob is his master.

"Commenter on this website, Truth Seeker, posted this comment last night. It was approved by someone on our staff while I was away from the computer."

And the comment is still there.

"But the office is selective. Apparently it's who you know and probably who you blow that determines who gets help there."

More civility from Bob.

"I think it's time that we start naming names of people who get help every single month. Maybe people we know that get help even though they work part time, have no kids, or simply are females. Maybe we should list the names of known drug dealers who get help on a regular basis. That might be fun."

Good luck with that.

"The same group of idiots that make the inciting accusation here, also accused me of the same thing with the funeral story.
http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5046
That's the story we had on here about how Sandra Barkes, office manager and wife of the trustee, reportedly went to a funeral acting stupid.
She reportedly went to a funeral that the trustee paid for and asked mourners there why they didn't pay for it and she reportedy announced to everyone there that she was there to make sure the family got what the trustee's office paid for.
In the comments that followed that story, I said that someone should have knocked her on her ass when she did it. And I stand by that opinion.


Notice Bob says "reportedly" and then says "when she did it".

"I was accused by the idiots of inciting violence. How do you incite violence at an event that happened 6 months ago? And if someone had knocked her on her ass, as I feel they should have done, wouldn't SHE be the one inciting the violence by acting a fool at a funeral?"

So Bob, since you always act like a fool, does that mean everyone has a right to "knock you on your ass" at any time?

"She runs a local elected office and she does THAT at a funeral? I'd say that's incitement."

You forgot to write "reportedly".

"It would have been real sweet if some of the ladies at the funeral would have jumped on her and beat the crap out of her, then she was charged with inciting violence on herself. And no, I don't condone violence against a lady."

It sure sounds like you're condoning violence against a lady.

"But if she did what they say she did, she sure as hell wasn't being a lady."

If.

"She was wrong, and she sure had it coming."

Sounds like inciting violence again.  And you also forgot "reportedly" again.

"If she had done it at a funeral for someone in my family, I can guarantee you that several of the women in attendance would have gladly shown her the floor, err the door."

Inciting violence again.

I state facts and all they want to do is deny what is plain as day and attack me for voicing my opinion.

So Bob, I'm confused.  Which is it?  Facts or opinion?  Oh yeah, I keep forgetting.  You consider your opinion facts.  Silly me.

They THREATEN violence and accuse me of INCITING violence. Hmmm.

I have never threatened violence but you have definitely threatened and incited violence.

Yet Another Uncivil Comment Not Deleted From Columbuzz

LOL Thanks Shawn.

But these guys don't have the balls to do anything but use several fake names and send e-mails though a proxy IP address.

They're all talk. Just a couple of chickenshit punks.

But I appreciate the offer

Civility

Civil Comment Deleted from Allen Smith Republic Article

Ironic, don't ya think? Bob is complaining about The Republic deleting civil comments!?!

Tuesday, December 28, 2010

Lucy vs. Lucy 1.0

Lucy #1:
"And making wise cracks does not a debate make...."

Lucy #2:
"So my dear michelle, you really know nothing of the past, unless you're merc or barney"
"Well, sweet Michelle, I was just answering a question YOU posed"
"You don't want to hear the story, then sweetheart, don't bring up things you don't want to discuss"
"Well michelle,,,er dude, cause your site is so funny...and don't stroke yourself"
"look up sarcasm E I didn't know sarcasm meant bullying"
"oh well, ya lose some and some you don't care about."
"Attacking is if I call you a a$$hole"
"Again, look up sarcasm. Michelle, IMHO was ignorant in her response to me, about not caring what the past was, but do you see me crying??"

Bob is Lying Again

"E, some of 'her' posts were deleted instead of being posted. You didn't see all 'she' wrote."

That's because you censor comments.

"I believe 'Michelle' was one of the troublemakers from the other site."

I believe you have no idea what you're talking about, as usual.

"Even with that aside, 'she' seemed to want to criticize admin activity more than contribute to the conversation, just as they do."

That's because you admins are a bunch of hypocrites who don't follow your own usage policy.

"We have our reasons for what we do here."

Please enlighten us.

"Prior attacks and crap from those idiots have forced us to do so in order to keep this site from falling apart as EVERY other site they have been on has done. Sound Off of The Republic was shut down because of improper postings and attacks. Columbus Krap and a couple others I had were shut down because of idiots actions because they didn't agree with posts of others. A couple of sites I had had to close because I allowed everything to go on at first. And those attacks got out of hand."

Sounds like you were the reason those sites were shut down.

"That one particular asshole, Merc, has threatened Lucy and my wife and dog."

Name calling again.

"I believe Merc is Dude on the other site. I think that site is basically 2 or 3 people max making most of the posts."

Wrong and wrong.  It's obvious that Bob is delusional.

"I truly believe Merc was Michelle."

I truly believe Bob doesn't have a clue.

"And none of it really matters."

And yet you write a long comment about it.

"Everyone will post civally or their posts will be deleted."

Lie.  Some are deleted even if they are "civil".

"Disagreeing with what is said here is fine."

Lie.  If you disagree with an admin, you must be Mercman.

"Attacking people for what they post here is not."

Lie.  The admins do it all the time.

"There is a difference."

The admins do whatever they want and the commenters are not allowed to question the infinite wisdom of the admins.

"'Her' leaving is her choice."

Lie.  Most if not all of her comments will now be deleted.

Bob vs Bob 5.0

Bob #1:  "We don't track IP addresses."

Bob #2/Herman (in response to a comment):  "All the way from <Name of City Removed> Indiana"

New Anti-Columbuzz Blog

There's a new anti-columbuzz blog by NotdudeNotJeffBarkesNotMerc!  Check it out:
http://columbuzzkill.wordpress.com/

Michelle's Last Post on Columbuzz

This is my last post on this website. I am DONE. I happened upon this website and stuck around because the article I was reading had some good points and I enjoyed the debate regarding those issues. Then the story took a turn and people were allowed to post things that were cruel and had nothing to do with the initial story itself. I did begin posting at that time. I questioned why someone would allow posts to be printed when they were in such bad taste. Bob and I had some great banter in the beginning. I began reading other stories and noticed that those too had some statements that took away from the original topic.

That very much concerns me. There are attacks on here that should not be. There are things on here that are hurtful and damaging to people, that is not what I thought this website was about .

I am now met with hostility and accusations. For the record I AM NOT MERCMAN, CHARLIE TOWNSEND OR DUDE. I did not even now they existed until you and Lucy began accusing me of being them. I have googled the website and found it very easily and have spent time reading it as well. I am now more concerned then I was at the lack of common human decency on this site. It appears that these personal attacks on people have been going on for some time and I for one refuse to be a part of it.

Thanks Lucy for your recommendation and I will be leaving this site. It looks like Dude got another follower !!!! At least his blog does not pretend to be something it is not.

Bob is Insane in the Membrane

"Michelle, that's good.  And your points are well taken.  We will consider what you stated."

No you won't.

"There is a whole lot going on and there are good reasons for the things we post. But sometimes being malicious is for a reason. The people we talk about in a way that you consider malicious are people that have doled it out in the past on a much larger scale. But each word of a post I make has a good reason to be there."

Bob justifies everything he writes. He does no wrong. I think I know why Bob is an atheist. He thinks he's God, so that's why God can not exist.

"The fire chief I called an asshole, is an asshole.
Go to just about anywhere in town and find someone that knows Fire Chief Rodney Ferrenburg and mention his name. 99 out of 100 will probably say one word, 'asshole.' Most of his staff would say it too if they didn't fear him. That is a proven fact. He IS an asshole."

Bob, that is your opinion, not a proven fact. One of your biggest problems is that you can't tell the difference. Why don't you ask people what they think of you? 100 out of 100 will probably say one word, insane.

"He has reportedly threatened to beat my ass because I exposed what he and his boyfriend Fred have been doing with our tax money."

Lie.  He threatened to beat your ass because you called his wife a whore.

"He AND HIS WIFE are now reportedly trying to run me out of town for voicing the truth about them."

If that's really true, we can only hope and pray to God (the real one) that they succeed.

"So, there is reason for everything we post."

Yes there is, to get attention and feed your ego.

Response to Lucy

"Michelle, he is the instigator of alot of problems on ANY board that involves Bob, he harrarrases bob, and vice-verse.  They act like brats...sorry Bob...but IF the whistledick site is the same fellow as merc , charlie, nunya. R.stone, you see michelle, this person uses many aliases, and maybe even the name michelle LOL"

For the millionth time, I'm not Mercman and I'm not Michelle.  Mercman has his own blog.  And again, Bob and Lucy show their paranoia.  Everyone who opposes Bob is Mercman?

..but he has threatened bob on another site, AND to add fuel to the fire, he even threatened me back to the old sound off days, where he was going to find out where I lived and kick by butt...same person. I've seen merc or whatever name of the day is, and another character named barney treat bob w disgust for no reason, other than it's easy to get him going,

I'm sure they have very good reasons for treating Bob with disgust since Bob is totally disgusting.

"They are most ignorant, and very, very immature...but that's water under the bridge."

Are you blind to Bob's ignorance and immaturity?

Columbuzz Commenter Michelle Gets It

Michelle wrote:
"Bob,

You told me before that these "other people" threatened your wife, yet you post a statement about inappropriate pictures and call people assholes. Keep to the debate Bob!"


Notice that Bob has not responded to her comment yet.  And Bob, I'm not Michelle.  I only submit comments to columbuzz as Dude now and even though some of my comments are "civil" as defined by Bob, they are deleted.  Also, Bob knows that his wife was not threatened on my blog.  He's lying again.

Misty and Lucy - I Still Love Them Both

Misty:  "Lucy I think Dude should stay on his whistleprick website too. That is my nice name for them btw. I try to stay off of their site because I can't seem to leave without getting mad and telling them off. They took a few jabs at me on there also."

Lucy:  "Thank you Misty, n I agree w you 100%. His site is nothing but negativity, and that doesn't sit well w me. Strength in numbers, girly!!!! Thanks for your support."

Well, I tried to get Lucy and Misty to see the real Bob Freeman, but I guess they're just too deep into the columbuzz cult. They seem to be totally blind to Bob's hypocrisy, negativity, insanity, ignorance, and deception.  Hopefully someday soon they will see the light.  I really don't understand how Misty can see through Tim Miracle but not Bob.  Very odd.

Bob vs Bob 4.0

Bob #1:
"We have no way of knowing who did the post. Nor do we care."
"I think anonymous is anonymous."
"But knowing an IP address doesn't tell us who it is, usually.... And we don't really care who it is."
"But their name doesn't matter"
"We protect the privacy of those who post here."

Bob #2:
"Apparently Samantha knows the IP address or she has a way to trace it to the hospital.  I hope you find out the policy and I hope they can know who it is, as I suspect they can."

Saturday, December 25, 2010

Bob the Ejrk?

"That is simply a difference in opinion between admins here. I don't write policy here. We have a couple of people who do that. I didn't write the FAQs either. I have never even read them."

In other words, I don't write policy here, I don't read policy here, but I enforce policy here.

"Jeremy and Herman both think people should use a full name, even if a phony one. And use the same name everytime they post.  I disagree. I think anonymous is anonymous. And if someone wants to be Sally one time and Jill the next, that's fine."

You really expect people to believe this?  You can't stand it that I remain anonymous.

"Where it gets bad is when people come in to stir and use all sorts of names to make it look like there are a lot of people who have the same opinion."

Because we all know that there are only three people in the world that have the same negative opinion about Bob:  Merc, Dude, and Jeff Barkes.  Everyone else loves him, except of course the 65% of the voters that voted against him, for the fifth time.

"And that's fine too, until they do as a couple of jerks do on a regular basis. They only want to attack everything I post. No matter what, they want to tear it apart. They even built a couple of other websites to do nothing but attack me and this website."

That's because almost everything you post is hypocritical nonsense.

"They have no life so they can do that there. I won't allow it here.  We aren't here for that."

I have a great life Bob, especially since I didn't have to go out and buy a new hard drive for Christmas.

"I suspect those ejrks are behind the reason for this article. But I don't know."

What are ejrks?  You don't know anything, Bob.  You should just admit it.

"The only 'tracking' we do on IP addresses is when we notice a pattern of troublemaking posts coming from the same IP address under different names and it appears to be troublemakers.  Then I look the address up on google and if it is one of those hidden IP site addresses, I delete their posts."

Troublemakers = those who disagree with me and make me look like an idiot

"Or I write an article like this one to let others know what is going on."

Bob, you have no clue what's going on.

"And we don't really care who it is. We simply want the troublemakers to stay away so we can have civil debate and discussion."

Yes you do care.  That's why you're obsessed with the "troublemakers".  And I'm still waiting for your definition of civil.

Bob vs. The Truth

"And as far as lawsuits, we try to be as accurate as possible.  What I post is almost always true."

Bob, you have a couple of mistakes here.  Let me help you out.  It should be "we fail to be as accurate as possible." and "What I post is rarely true, but hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.  It's just what I've been told by an anonymous source, and I'm so gullible that I believe everything they tell me."

"Now, that's a touchy subject for some people.  If someone says the house is green and I report that someone said the house is green, what I said is true.  The house might be blue or red, but what I said was true; that someone said the house is green."

This is the prefect analogy.  Bob's anonymous sources almost always get it wrong.  They can't even tell the difference between green, blue, and red.  And Bob failed to mention that he always believes his sources and will argue that the blue house is green, no matter what.

"As far as being malicious and cruel.  Some things occur that require a drastic response.  If the post is true, it should be posted, regardless of malicious and cruel."

IF the post is true, but you post it whether it is true or not.  You're just trying to justify your reprehensible actions.

"What has been reported about the church is malicious and cruel, in my opinion, if it is true. And the more we learn the more we now it is true.  Our goal here is to get facts out that people wouldn't otherwise learn. Facts that everyone should know and facts that some people don't want to be known."

But you post malicious and cruel information before you know it is true, like the abortion comment.  It's amazing that you don't see this.  You automatically believe almost everything you are told.

"The simple fact that they don't want people to know gives rise to a desperate need to expose it."

Kind of like my blog.  You desperately want to keep people from reading my blog.

Bob's Hard Drive

"I was told that the fire chief and the trustee were planning to have it confiscated for a pending lawsuit.  I have stuff on my computer that I don't want others to see."

Anything illegal Bob?  Like evidence of you advertising and possibly using and selling odometer tampering devices on the internet?

"It simply wouldn't be right for anyone to have access to my personal computer."

Not even the police with a court order?  Bob still thinks he's above the law!

"People told me there was no chance they could take it but I didn't want to take a chance so I bought a new hard drive."

A little gullible, aren't you Bob?  So where's the old one?

"If they had demanded it, I would have had the stuff I needed to keep secret gone."

Bob, this is called destruction of evidence and it is a serious crime.  But I forgot that you're above the law, so never mind.

Civil Debate from Bob and the Bob-o-bots

Warning!  This post contains adult language!  Reader discretion is advised.

Examples of civil debate from Bob and the Bob-o-bots:

Lucy:
"...what is your fucking deal???"
"I am way too good to bother w your shit."


Misty:
"Ok Whistle Cock Suckers!!!"
"My brother ex wife is a skanky whore plain and simple"
"...stay far away from her to keep from catching her diseases"
"You can all kiss my ass!!!"
"Merry Christmas Whistle Cock Suckers!!!!"
"Dude should stay on his whistleprick website"


Bob:
"...none of your fucking business."
"Time to back off motherfuckers."
"...you will regret it motherfuckers."
"Your call assholes. I ain't fucking around."
"Then you can 'sue' me, chicken shits."
"I know where some of you live.  You want to cross the line, then lets cross the fucking line.  It would be worth some time in jail to destroy your homes.  And the lives of some of your family."
"I own a few guns.  Give me reason assholes.  Back the fuck off."
"You keep saying on here that I'm nuts and a retard.  Piss me off and find out.  I could play the part in a HUGE way, if you fuck with my family."
"You talk big when others that I do know will suffer."
"Try me, asshole."

Bob Translation

Michelle wrote on columbuzz:  "Bob, if you don't care why is this article even here?"

Bob answered:  "Michelle, it's here to let people know that some of these posts are from the same location.  I think the article is pretty clear"

Translation:  I can't argue with your logic Michelle so I'll just ignore your comments and pretend that my article is perfectly clear, which it isn't. It's actually incomprehensible and filled with my insane rantings, but I was hoping no one would notice. I pretend that I want civil debate on the subject and that I want to hear both sides of the story, but I'm not capable of civil debate and the only true side of the story is my side.

Lucy, Here's an Example of No Class for You

http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5346

Bob is a Riot

Bob wrote on columbuzz:

"Michelle, we don't know who is posting. I simply showed that those remarks came from the same location."

Simply showed?  LOL!

"IP addresses change from location to location.  It could be several people posting from the same computer, like at a library, or a CHURCH."

Well, church is in all caps, so we all know what that means.  It must be true.

"And we don't track IP addresses. I simply noticed different people posting from the same one."

LOL again!  We don't track IP addresses!

"We have no way of knowing who did the post. Nor do we care."

If you don't care, then why write an entire article about it!

"Disgusted, we aren't all idiots here, and all the idiots aren't here."

I agree with the second statement, but I have to 100% disagree with the first one.

"Bashing? Telling the truth about someone is bashing them? Do you work ayt the Trustees office? They think the same thing."

Here we go again. Bob just can't let it go. You lost! Get over it!

It was a HATE CRIME.

Please, get over yourself.  If that's a hate crime, then so are your comments on this blog.

"If we had a police department with someone smart enough to know what a hate crime was, he would probably be in jail now."

Bob is now bashing the police.  Firemen, EMTs, and now policemen.  Smart move Bob.  I'm sure they're much too busy investigating people who sell odometer tampering devices.

"It deeply hurt those it was intended to hurt,and their families."

What a hypocrite!

"What was done was illegal."

No it wasn't.  It was just stupid.  But advertising and selling odometer tampering devices is definitely illegal.

"What was done was over the line."

Almost everything you do is over the line, Bob.

"Now the whole world is going to know about this group called Milestone Ministries and their harmless fun they seem to want to spread around."

Wow, the whole world visits columbuzz!

"Hang on to your shorts Disgusting. We're going to help them spread some of their harmless fun. People will enjoy this."

More threats from Bob.   I've heard this one before.

Merry Christmas?

http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5343

It's odd to see a bunch of nonbelievers wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

"Truth" Seeker

"Truth" Seeker on columbuzz:  "I just hope they go to public school and are not being doing home schoolNot only do they not know how to spell, they don't start a sentence with a capital letter, they can't use proper english and just sound plain stupid. Please take the time to check your comment before you post.  How do they read and understand the Bible? Maybe that is part of the problem."

"The library sounds like a good excuse but since we know there is a computer at Milestone and 2 families live there and who knows how many staff hang out there?  Sounds more like several people using the computer at Milestone to me. Or several people at one person's house since they are such a tight cult.  Or one idiot posting under different names since they always use bad spelling, grammer, and puncuation.  For being Christians you sure are good liars, just saying lol."

Hilarious!  Who's the idiot?  The first comment was corrected by someone, probably Bob since he didn't want his posters to look like idiots (at least the ones that he agrees with).

Comments

Two of my comments that I expect will be deleted on columbuzz because of my "shenanigans":

Comment #1:
"Where is your proof that the stories aren't true on here?"

I don't have any proof.  And neither does Bob.  That's the point I'm making on my blog.

"You can't...what is your fu*$ing deal???"

I see you have learned from the master.

"And news flash The Dude is a sissy"

Wow, you got me there.

"yet you complain people don't use their real names, well you do the same...such a hypocrite..."

I have never complained that people don't use their real names.  Sorry, try again.

"I am way too good to bother w your shi& I took one look and yep, the krap brothers are back"

And Bob is a saint I guess.  Did you read his comments on my blog?


Comment #2:
"Sound like the same ole krap...no class...and you wouldn't know class if it hit you in the face"

Lucy, have you read Bob's comments on my blog?  I suggest you do, if you want to see an example of no class.

Bob the Cult Leader

"Understandably, the articles related to the Milestone Ministries have raised tempers and caused people to go to extremes."

Including you and Lucy, Bob.

"During this conversation, someone mentioned the ministers daughter had received abortions. It was posted as true, but it is the first mention of it, and it's relevancy really wasn't clear."

The relevancy is entirely clear for those of us with functioning brains, which would exclude the Bob-o-bots.

"Lucy was the clearest, in my opinion, about the relevancy of the possibility by noting that a preacher that preaches against pre-marital sex, as most do, shouldn't have a daughter that had several abortions. The fact that she did or didn't have the abortions became unimportant when that debate arose."

Again, for those of us with active brain cells, it is totally irrelevant.

"A minister condemning others and revealing their faults because he is upset with them is not only unconscienable, but his right to do so is eliminated if and when he has issues like that of his own."

If it is true, he does not have issues like that of his own. His daughter does.

"Anyway, the accusation was made by one of our posters. Right or wrong, I deleted it because of the unfairness of such an unproven statement."

Did you track his IP too like you do the posters you don't like? And why haven't you deleted any of your unproven statements in the past?

"Then along comes 'Tiana.' She pretends to be a friend of the accused and says that 'she' KNOWS it isn't true. So all hell breaks loose in Columbuzzopolis. The one that made the claim was instantly doubted and the issue turns to credibility of statements made here. We have allowed everyone, including the Milestone clan, to post their views on the makings of a church or cult."

For the most part, statements made on columbuzz have zero credibility, especially yours.

"Last night, 'Private' made a post. His IP address looked familiar,so I looked around, and saw that 'm' had made a post from the same IP address. That's possible, I suppose, if people are sharing their computer or their network, like in a CHURCH, for instance. So I mentioned in my reply that they were 'm' or 'Private.' This morning, 'Private' basically called me a liar."

That's because you are a proven liar.

"I can't say this is the same person making all of the posts, but I can say they come from the same IP address. THAT, in my opinion, throws out all credibility of this poster. I believe it is one individual making all of these posts. I believe they are just here to stir. They wanted to bring doubt to what another poster said, and they succeeded. They want to sit and cause trouble for an otherwise civil debate. This is the sort of crap I get from the idiots at the whistledick website."

You also believe the moon landings were faked, so what you believe is not credible. And I still don't understand Bob's definition of civil. He should explain his definition, but he probably just makes it up on the fly, just like a cult leader would do. If he does explain it, he should make sure to admit his hypocrisy and let everyone know that he's exempt from being civil. Do as I say, not as I do.

Yet Another Example of Bob's Hypocrisy

Bob wrote on columbuzz:  "Keep it civil or get it deleted."

But here are some statements about Tim Miracle on columbuzz:
"He is a waste of flesh, and is full of evil."
"You are an evil mean man and have too big of an ego to be a pastor at any church."


Are these statements civil?  Using Bob logic, if someone submitted a comment with these statements about Bob, then no, they are not civil.  But because they are describing an enemy of Bob, they are civil.

Bob is Right for Once

Bob wrote: "Yes, Dude, I believe the moon landings were faked. I believe the space program was shut down because the lies were about to be exposed.  What better place than the surface of the moon for a space station?  But, you're right, I do believe the moon landings were faked. I don't believe man has ever landed on the moon.  And I know you'll laugh at that. I know you'll go to your whistledick website and make a big deal out of it. But at the same time you'll believe in a God that you can't see. "

I am truly speechless. And Bob is right for once. I am laughing my head off and I will make a big deal out of it. I normally don't like name calling, but Bob, you are truly an idiot and a conspiracy nutjob. You are, without a doubt, one of the biggest idiots I have ever come across on the internet, and that's saying something since I've been on the internet since 1987.  By the way Bob, here's a website with some cool pictures of the moon, including the landing sites, but I'm sure they're all faked:  Moon Images from LRO

By the way, this is what happens when you call Buzz Aldrin a coward and a liar:

http://www.csicop.org/news/show/buzz_aldrin_punches_moon-landing_conspiracy_theorist

Bob Is Still Making Me LOL

Bob's comment on columbuzz about the abortion accusations:

"It's a huge deal, especially if it isn't true. That's some accusation to make toward someone. You need to be sure it's true before you say it."

LOL! When did Bob suddenly care whether something on his website was true or not?

"If it's true, it's relevent to a conversation if her dad is calling people out for their failings and her boyfriend is going around town acting like a jerk."

Wrong! It is totally irrelevant. It makes you look like a jerk dragging his daughter into it.

"If it isn't true, it's one of the worst things you can do to a woman, especially one in a Christian life as she is."

This coming from a person that calls women vile names.

Response to Gina/Misty

My response to one of Gina's comments on columbuzz about Milestone:

"My brother's wife is a skanky bitch who left him to be a whore and I do talk to him now. I didn't talk to him because I couldn't get along with his wife, no one could, and my parents didn't talk to them for years either.  The good news is she showed her true colors as always happens and she is gone, my prayers were answered. PRAISE GOD, right?"

This does not sound like a proper Christian attitude to me.  Didn't you write that God loves everyone, even whores?  You also wrote that you haven't personally attacked anyone.  Isn't this a personal attack?  Also, read Bob's comments on my blog.  He has shown his true colors too.

"I guess you wouldn't know that since it happened after I got kicked out of your cult!"

Kicked out of one cult right into another, columbuzz.

"I have been married for almost 20 years to the same man and he is the father or all 3 of my kids. How many people at Milestone can say that, huh??"

Sounds kind of holier than thou to me.  Don't people complain that Milestone has the same attitude?

"This is just an example of what Milestone does; twist things around and lie."

You do realize that columbuzz and Bob also do this, don't you? Or maybe you don't care since he's helping you out.

"I posted text messages and emails and have told the truth. I may be a "baby in Christ" but I am no liar!!"

"I don't know the administrator of this site personally, we just talk on facebook. I do plan on getting together with him and having lunch though. He may be an ATHEIST as you pointed out but he has always been honest with me and I consider him a friend."

I'm not accusing you of being a liar. But Bob is a proven liar, so you should be careful associating with him.

Milestone = Columbuzz? Tim Miracle = Bob Freeman?

Here are some statements from columbuzz about Milestone/Tim Miracle that could also apply to Columbuzz/Bob Freeman:

"Well they call it a church (website) but I refer to it as a cult."

"A pastor (moderator) is supposed to set an example for other believers (commenters) to follow."

"He isn't the law, he isn't God, he's just a person"

"I am telling you up front that I am not using my real name because these Milestone (columbuzz) people have threatened violence before and I don't want them knowing who I am."

"I am remaining anonymous because I do not want to be harassed. I don’t want phone calls, emails, or someone showing up at my door."

"They are manipulators and are great at trying to 'work' people, sometimes they succeed."

"Because she is under a pastor (moderator) who thrives on drama. He considers it to be a personal triumph when people come against him because the Word says to be leery of a man that everyone speaks well of."

"I was tired of their holier-than-thou attitude."

"something is not right at Milestone (columbuzz)"

"It is their way or no way and God gives you free will."

"we are warning people about a cult."

"We have seen people have their lives ruined by Tim Miracle (Bob) and his followers."

"and if that means calling out a cult then that is what needs to happen."

"Milestone (columbuzz) IS a cult."

"If you speak against "Pastor" (Bob) or questions anything he says, your opinion is of rebelliousness. Having an opinion against "Pastor" (Bob) is being full of pride."

"The only opinion in Milestone (columbuzz) that matters is Tim Miracle's (Bob's). If you have an opinion, you might as well leave."

"You should really just stop because you are just helping to show how Milestone (columbuzz) treats people."

"It is funny if someone speaks against the "church" (columbuzz) they are immature."

"I want to remain anonymous to refrain from anymore threats from them."

"It would be nice to see you put some action with these words of yours and show proof of your apology to the people you’ve hurt."

"YOU KNOW the wrongs you've made, the lies you've told, the people you’ve hurt, the seeds you've planted, you KNOW what you need to fix. Let's see if you really mean it."

"Oh but wait, there’s no admission of any wrong doing in your comment, it’s only you telling people you apologize if THEY feel something was done to them or against them."

"However, there are many people whose lives are crushed or nearly crushed because of your "methods." People who have a hard time forgiving because they are faced everyday with the consequences of your "methods." "

"I know some very good people who have been hurt by Milestone (columbuzz) and it needs to stop."

"This is just an example of what Milestone (columbuzz) does; twist things around and lie."

"This church (columbuzz) has long been known to be far out & wacko....I tried to warn a few people myself....wack jobs they are...!!"

"It sickens me to see what they are doing to peoples lives."

"He is a waste of flesh, and is full of evil."

"What I don't understand is just letting him go on and on, doing what he's doing."

"These idiots at Milestone (columbuzz) are really hurting people!!"

"Tim (Bob) is a con man, hiding behind a church front (website). I think this "church" (columbuzz) is like his little club. and if you don't play his way you have to go home. He says it is his church (website), and if everybody quit. it's still his. "

"So in other words if you don't see eye to eye with either Miracle brothers (Bob) you receive their wrath."

"He was a bully growing up and he's a bully today."

"he is having her attacked, he has done this to SEVERAL people."

"That is how Milestone (columbuzz) works by being bullies."

"I think it is just an attention thing for Tim (Bob) because he loves attention."

"The tormenting that these brothers (moderators) do can be stopped."

"I have to hide who I am so my family members will not be harassed, bullied, etc."

"I say speak out. If they give you grief, get a restraining order. They are not exempt from the law! Although they think they are."

"Most churches (websites) have doctrine (usage policies), but when they make it up as they go to further their lives, can I say CULT."

"I think it's time to stop the nonsense."

"There comes a time to put away childish, ignorant behavior."

"If you want respect, you need to earn it, not bully people around to get it."

"You are an evil mean man and have too big of an ego to be a pastor at any church (moderator at any website)."

Personal Message to Bob Freeman

Please, sit down, read this, and THINK.

by Dude

These moderators at columbuzz are Democrats! These are Democrats acting like this.

    * Censoring comments.
    * Not following the site usage policy.
    * Using their site usage policy to intimidate and censor commenters.
    * Promising anonymity yet revealing people's identities and IP addresses.
    * Modifing articles of those who disagree with them..

This is crazy!

Absolutely CRAZY!

People ask if columbuzz is a website or a cult. Does it really matter what you call it?

It's a bunch of people that don't seem to be acting much like humans, in my opinion.

Bob, you could stop it all. With just a few words. But we've seen no signs of you trying to. In my opinion, that makes it look like you are behind this behavior.

I hope not. I hope you're a better man than that.

I have heard from you on my blog. I have heard from people that I think are moderators of columbuzz several times.

I have read your disgusting comments on my blog.

And you're a Democrat?

I never knew an internet blowhard that didn't want to run his mouth 24/7. I can see where silence can be a good thing at times. Now is not that time. Now is the time for your action.

Everyone I mention columbuzz to says the same thing, 'not those nutty columbuzz moderators.'

Nobody speaks very highly of any of you.

But Bob, you are a Democrat.

It is your DUTY as a man to put a stop to this nonsense.

It is your DUTY as a moderator to stop your fellow moderators from acting like fools in public.

I'm allowing people to post what they truly feel about YOUR WEBSITE on this blog. You have that same right and opportunity to do the same thing.

Do the right thing. Stop the nonsense. Show everyone that you aren't the madman people seem to be portraying you as.

All of that aside, as a Democrat and human being, you have a DUTY to stand up and make this right.

It isn't a favor that I'm asking of you; I couldn't care less. But, it's your responsibility to step up and be the man that you claim to be and stop this now.

You have a few olive branches of peace that you need to extend to people.

I'm sure you think of yourself as a man in charge of a large group of worshipers (Bob-o-bots) all trying to achieve the same goal.

Others see you as a nut case.

You need to prove them wrong. You need to show the world that you are who you think and say you are.

Paranoid Bob

"Okay Private, I deleted your other posts. You can spew that crap at your whistle **** website."

Just for the record, I'm not "Private" on columbuzz, even though it looks like Bob thinks I am.

"You attack me like you do at the other site. I didn't post her name or the story about her abortions."

Sorry Bob, it wasn't me.  And of course since you're a moderator, you could have deleted or edited the comment about the abortions.  But as we all know, that's not how you roll.  You love to sling mud in all directions, especially at family members of your enemies.

"Keep it civil or get it deleted. Your choice."

And Bob can write whatever he wants.  I have had civil comments deleted, so writing "keep it civil" is just ridiculous.

Bob's Latest Attack

"We protect the privacy of those who post here."

LOL.  They didn't protect my privacy.

"This story is about people and their names are revealed because they are relevent to the story."

Bob, you frequently reveal the names of people who are entirely irrelevant to your stories in a feeble attempt to discredit your enemies.

"This last story goes that her boyfriend invaded a church service dressed as a woman with bacon hanging out of his mouth. I think that makes her very relevent to the story."

Yes Bob, we all know you consider family members of your enemies to be fair game but yours are off limits. Hypocrite.

"If nothing stupid happens, then there's nothing stupid to report."

You forgot to add "But even if nothing stupid happens, we will make up stupid things to report."

"And if someone states a fact, if it is fact, that she had abortions, doesn't that weight heavily on the fact they want to cut everyone down that leaves and reveal secrets and lies about those people?"

Sure Bob, let's blame and attack the daughter for her parent's mistakes and let's also assume that what someone told you is automatically true.  I'm sure no one would ever lie to you, Bob.

"In my opinion, the boyfriend is lucky that all that happened to him was that he was escorted out of the room. Other crowds might have beaten the living tar out of him for what he pulled."

Bob advocating violence again.  Big surprise.

Bob Makes Me LOL

"why am I the devil if I only have a place for the truth to be revealed?"

Columbuzz is a place for the truth to be revealed? LOL.

"Is he invincible because he runs a church?"

Bob, are you invincible because you run a "whistle blowing" website?

"Do you ever fault him for anything?"

Bob, do you ever fault yourself for anything?

"Being an atheist doesn't mean I'm stupid. Not agreeing with how a church is run doesn't make a person stupid."

True, but you are stupid nonetheless.

"Blindly following crooked 'preachers' would seem to me to be more ignorant than standing back and seeing how silly it is."

Blindly following crooked whistle blowers is also ignorant.

"That's why we try to get others to voice their views as well."

LOL again.

"We don't have any real need to keep rehashing the same things over and over."

LOL! That's all you do Bob is rehash the same things over and over and over and over...

"Is there some reason you think this isn't true? Should be easy enough to confirm. Let me see what I can find out."

Inspector Freeman is on the job!

"Gina might know somebody that might know if this is true. I was going to ask her if she could find out anything about it."

Also, Gina's hairdresser's cousin's mistress might know if it is true.

"You read where some nut dressed up like a woman, had bacon hanging out of his mouth, and went into church services dancing around and disturbing those services; and your concern is who I get my information from? That seems a bit odd to me."

It seems odd to Bob since he doesn't understand the concept of a "credible source". He probably believes every conspiracy theory he's ever heard. I'll even bet he believes that the U.S. faked the moon landings.

Crazy Comment on Columbuzz

"I just wanted to say Bob, I think you are trying to do something good here...not evil or malicious... What I find is that you always try to do your homework and inform the community...and for that I THANK YOU!!"

I'm speechless, although the commenter did write "try to do your homework" instead of just "do your homework". I would have written "try and fail to do your homework", but of course that would have been deleted. Also, notice that even though this comment was off topic, it did not get deleted. I wonder why.

Above the Law

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange

Why do some whistle blowers think they are above the law? You know, things like rape, trespassing, odometer tampering, libel, copyright violations, etc..

Bob the Incompetent Moderator

I think Bob has accidentally deleted one of my comments again.  I know he didn't delete it on purpose, since he wrote "And Dude, all of your posts will be allowed here if they are civil and on subject, unless it is obvious you are just trying to stir." And I'm sure Bob wouldn't lie, so he must have deleted it accidentally. So here it is again Bob:

"Dude, protecting my wife and family isn't a threat. You have some asshole threaten your wife and dog when you're going on vacation and see how much threatening you do."

No one threatened your wife or your dog on my blog.

"In fact, see how you react when people constantly attack you, as the idiots on your website attack me on a daily basis and see how you react."

Kind of like you constantly attacking Fred Barkes. And I see you're name calling again. Does this mean I can call you an idiot?

"Yet you and those idiots on your website continue to team up with his son and Charlie Townsend and call me a liar"

Name calling again. And sorry, but I know for a fact that you are a liar.

"You have yet to show ONE thing I said was false. Not ONE."

I have shown SEVERAL things you have said that are false. SEVERAL.

"But you people, and the rest of the people that voted for him, if they knew what I revealed, are unbelievable."

So 65% of the voters are unbelievable?

"How many moderators do you have on your website? Oh just one, you. You feel no need for more."

I'm sane, so I only need one.

"See how easy it is to debate in a civil manner?"

This is your definition of civility? If so, then can I call you names too?

"But we need to consider the source. I think it's just a bunch of drunks and meth heads that act like 12 year olds"

Another example of being civil for your commenters? And who is name calling like a 12 year old? You, Bob.

Bob the Walking Contradiction

Bob, the genius, writes in reference to Milestone:
"We are allowing people to expose truths that exist in a so-called 'church.'"
"I had no idea this crap was going on in Columbus."


So obviously, he is assuming everything he hears about Milestone is true. But then he writes:
"If everything said here is true, don't you think people need to know?"
"Will it affect the minister's life? Maybe. If these things are true, it should."
"If these things are true, every last member of that congregation should run for their lives."


In other words, I HAVE ALLOWED PEOPLE TO EXPOSE TRUTHS, if these things are true.

"I know that the more I hear the more I fear that we have cult in our midst."

Maybe Milestone is a cult. I don't know. But I do know columbuzz is a cult, so Bob, you definitely have a cult in your midst.

"It's sad that people can be that gullible. But when people are vulnerable they are easy targets I suppose."

I think Bob is referring to himself and the Bob-o-bots here, but I could be wrong.

False Alarm, It's Not a Christmas Miracle

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.  Unfortunately, Bob has not evolved into an adult human being.  Here's his latest "civil" comment on columbuzz:

"Dude, protecting my wife and family isn't a threat. You have some asshole threaten your wife and dog when you're going on vacation and see how much threatening you do."

Name calling violation #1. And no one on my blog threatened your wife and dog. Lie #1.

"In fact, see how you react when people constantly attack you, as the idiots on your website attack me on a daily basis and see how you react".

Name calling violation #2. Well you've been attacking Fred Barkes constantly for months, but I guess that's OK since you are never wrong and you never lie. What goes around, comes around.

"Every WORD I wrote about Fred Barkes was, and is, true."

Lie #2.

"Yet you and those idiots on your website continue to team up with his son and Charlie Townsend and call me a liar. NONE of you look at the facts to see what is true. You don't care. All you want to do is attack the person that brought out the truth and the facts."

Name calling violation #3. And you are a proven liar.

"Fred Barkes is an incompetent nitwit who has a staff that is just as incompetent."

Name calling violation #4.

"I showed proof of all of it, and you idiots support him and attack me for bringing the facts out, NO MATTER WHAT."

Name calling violation #5 and lie #3. And I'm still waiting for any facts from you.

"You have yet to show ONE thing I said was false. Not ONE."

Lie #4. I have shown several.

"If I showed proof that he molested kids or burned down an orphanage, you would still defend him."

Why do you always use molesting kids as an example?

"But you people, and the rest of the people that voted for him, if they knew what I revealed, are unbelievable."

At least 65% of the voters don't believe you, so you're the one that's unbelievable.

"But hey, you and idiots just like you voted him back in. So we get to suffer for four more years. YAY...."

Name calling violation #6.

"And we want to appeal to as many people as possible because Columbuzz exists for a reason. We are here to help get the word out that doesn't normally get out. People need to know a lot of information that others prefer to keep secret, even when it adversely affects others."

I thought columbuzz exists just to stroke your huge ego.

"How many moderators do you have on your website? Oh just one, you. You feel no need for more. Neither do we."

But you guys are insane and I'm not. That's the difference.

"See how easy it is to debate in a civil manner?"

That was civil?

"But we need to consider the source. I think it's just a bunch of drunks and meth heads that act like 12 year olds...."

More civility from Bob.


And then Bob-o-bot Misty jumps in to stroke Bob's ego:
"Bob I have seen Dude or whoevers' website and the threats made and have defended you several times."

Misty, you can not defend the indefensible. What if Bob called you the names he has called Sandy Barkes?

Thursday, December 16, 2010

My Response to Bob's Comment

"Nope, no cease and desist orders. No complaints. We simply got tired of people like those at the other site complaining about it and there is no question of legality if we aren't doing it."

Do you know why no cease and desist orders? Because your site does not generate enough traffic for them to care.

"John Clark simply explained what he felt we were allowed to do after I borrowed a couple of articles of local interest for discussion. And that was weeks ago..
The goal of borrowing the stories is to make this site more interesting in between the local stuff that comes by every now and then."


Borrowing? Good one!

"Posting the link to their story does the same thing and it eliminates the legality debate."

You just now figured that out? Better late than never, I guess.

"And my potty mouth? I have always had it, not usually as bad as I used at your site, but I have always used a little color in my language."

Personally, I'm more concerned about your threats than I am your potty mouth.

"So, no real changes, except we are trying to make this website appeal to as many people as possible."

Why do you care about appealing to as many people as possible all of a sudden?

"And Dude, all of your posts will be allowed here if they are civil and on subject, unless it is obvious you are just trying to stir."

And I hope you hold yourself to the same standard. Please read and follow your own usage policy.

"I didn't ban you, I don't do that, someone else did. Why you are unbanned is beyond me. Banning doesn't matter to me. If your post sucks, I simply delete it."

And who will delete your posts when they suck? I recommend adding Lucy, one of your more intelligent commenters, as a moderator since you, Jeremy, and Herman act like one moderator.

"Civil debate is what we want. So if your posts were deleted, they weren't civil or they were simply written to stir or cut someone down."

But your uncivil posts were not deleted.

"I don't need to ban you."

You can't ban anyone. It's easy to get around.

"Actually, Charlene seems to have the happy trigger on the ban button."

Then I would like to ask Charlene why you weren't banned a long time ago?

It's A Christmas Miracle!

http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5309

Some of my favorite quotes:
"The question has come up, hell, it's been here as long as I have, about posting articles from the internet on this site.  Is it legal? Is it ethical?"

Since when does Bob care whether something he does is legal or ethical?

"We had done it on the theory that if we bring them here for discussion, they were legal.  Well, we ain't lawyers, so we don't know.  And we ain't rich, so we don't want to get sued."

I wonder if anyone has threatened to sue.

"So, to avoid any confusion, and to keep from pissing people off, we have decided to stop."

Wow, I'm shocked!

"We don't believe that posting a link to an article will piss anyone off or attract any high dollar attorneys. In fact, we will actually be adding to the readership of the sites that the link takes you to."

Duh! That is why you post the link!

Is Bob Evolving?

Since I've been very critical of Bob and columbuzz lately, I'm a little surprised at the recent developments on columbuzz.  Has my exposure of their "shenanigans" on their website embarrassed them and caused them to make some positive changes?  Here are some of the changes that I've noticed:
  • They are no longer blocking my IP address from columbuzz.  Of course, I got around their IP blocking fairly easily, but still this is a positive change.
  • They actually posted one of my comments and have not deleted it (at least not yet).
  • They seem to be allowing more comments that express dissenting views on their "articles".
  • Bob has stopped the name calling and is not adding his usual commentary.
My questions about these recent changes:
  • Will they last or are they just temporary to get me off their backs?
  • Why did they make these changes?  Was it my blog?  Threat of a lawsuit?  Bob evolving?  Decrease in visits to their site?
Whatever the reason, I hope the changes are permanent.  If they are, then maybe I can stop blogging someday soon and ride off into the sunset.  I still don't like some of the emails that they post.  The latest one about John Kennard was painful to read.  When someone is that illiterate, it is difficult to take anything they write seriously.

Bob is Still a Hypocrite

Latest hypocritical statements from Bob on columbuzz:

"anonymous means anonymous"
"Most of the posts have been from people complaining about the church but all views are welcome and everyone can remain anonymous."
"Everyone can remain anonymous when they post here."


Since when? Is this a new policy? You mean no more (incorrect) IP tracking? Sure Bob, I believe you.

"I didn't realize that a real name had been put in. I deleted it."

Just another simple mistake, like when you "accidentally" delete comments.

"Our goal is to get the truth out."

Since when? Bob, you don't care about the truth. You just like to stir up trouble.

Everyone is allowed to post their views here, as long as they are civil about it.

So Bob, what is your definition of civil? Do you consider your comments on my blog civil?

People should stand up for what they believe and not cower down because of threats.

Well Bob, you are definitely the expert on threats, I'll give you that.

Sunday, December 12, 2010

Bob is Whining Again

"I won't post there so I will here so they get the message.
To the jerks at the website that continually take stabs at me and make up lies about me."


What lies have I specifically made up about you Bob?

"Most of what you think I posted there, I did NOT post."

So you say. But you have zero credibility, so who knows?

"Jeff Barkes has posted there, as does Mercman, and I believe Fred Barkes does as well. Birds of a feather flock together and the idiots at the Trustee office fit the bill well."

It's always funny when Bob calls someone else an idiot.

"Be incompetent and attack the people who bring out the truth."

Exactly! I agree. Bob is incompetent and he attacks me since I bring out the truth about him.

"Real professional, people."

Bob giving a lecture on professionalism? Priceless!

"I have not posted anything at that website at all for at least a week or ten days"

Well Bob, your last few comments on here, exactly one week ago today, were quite interesting and very "professional".

"and I will not ever post there again."

I believe I've heard that one before.

"And on your KING website, I posted once to let you know it wasn't me that posted the other crap that some idiots signed my name to. That post was deleted."

That's not my website.

"So you dream your dreams and blame me for all your ridiculous crap. Your 4 or 5 readers seem to enjoy it."

And you know there are only 4 or 5 readers here how? Just guessing incorrectly again?

"But, I want to make it clear that I don't post there anymore, and I won't post there again."

I'm guessing that after your meltdown on here last Sunday, your lawyer probably recommended that you not post here ever again.

"And a special message to Joe, or whatever name you use today, I DID change your post. Your nasty crap isn't getting in. I usually delete your crap but thought it might be fun to post the opposite of what you would say. Get over it. If you don't like what I do here, stay the hell away."

And how do we know that Bob doesn't do this for every comment submitted to columbuzz?

Bob, Expert Investigator

Anyone know what this comment on columbuzz is all about? Does Bob now think someone named Willie Harris is the infamous Mercman? I thought Charlie was Mercman.

Joe on 09 December, 2010 10:55:50

Hello, I'm Willie Harris.
I work at Cummins.
I like to harrass people on websites.

Bob the 10 Year Old

Lucy wrote the following comment on columbuzz for the latest Fred Barkes "article":
"First off, IMHO the above pictures are beyond tasteless. Cheapens this site."

Bob wrote in response:
"Yea, but the pictures are funny! lol"

PROOF that Bob has the mentality of a 10 year old, since he thinks his pictures are funny. Although, I am surprised that Bob would use his own family pictures to make fun of Fred Barkes.

Bob Faking Comments Again on Columbuzz

Comment on columbuzz:
"Kim on 09 December, 2010 04:54:25
I can't believe Fred Barkes would fire Curt. He just does whatever he likes doesn't he? Why would anyone vote for him?"

That was my comment, but that's not what I wrote. Bob is faking comments again. Makes you wonder if all of the comments on columbuzz are faked.

Bob the Whining Liar

Bob is whining and lying about my blog again (but he still won't post the web address):

"A few posts from a website set up to bash me. The site has been a supporter of Fred Barkes and his clan. Fred's son, Jeff Barkes, posts there occasionally and they relay messages from Fred Barkes as well. This is the sort of jerks I have to deal with on a regular basis.

'Cancer is too good for Bob Freeman. I hope there is some unknown disease he will be afflicted with, they name it after him and then he will be forever linked to something terrible worldwide.'

'Bob is afflicted with many abnormalities. He lacks the ability to reason, he is not capable of self-criticism or realizing what a magnificent idiot he truly is.'

'In a nutshell, Bob Freeman suffers from mental retardation.'

'Bob has been on the brink of flipping out for a long time. There could be people hurt before he sticks the barrel in his own mouth.'

These are friends, family, and supporters of the monster, and his crew, that you re-elected for Columbus Township Trustee."


Bob has no idea who posts here. Most of the comments are anonymous, and he knows it. And he calls Fred Barkes a monster? Has he read his own comments on this blog? He's the monster.

Great Comment on Herman's Amazing Joe's Grill Article

"The person who wrote this article is an idiot.....never been in but had lots of opinions....lol.
Go try it with an objective mind and then comment. Lots and lots of rumors...always."


Yes, I can't agree more. Herman is a ginormous idiot!

Bob the Hypocrite

Bob wrote on Columbuzz :  "I had another conversation with Elder Nick Hill tonight.  His concern, as I took it, was mostly that by the things being posted here without giving the church a chance to respond to the accusations first, was unfair and damaging.  He makes a good point.  In my experience dealing with the trustee during my campaign, everything was always denied, no matter what. If it was true, they always had a good reason for it.  So maybe I jump too quick to the conclusion that people accused would lie about it. Maybe I should have called them."

Bob, you just now thought of the idea to present BOTH sides of the story? I thought there was only one side, Bob's side.

"I have tried to remain out of the fight on either side. I have simply tried to allow those on both sides to express their views, which is what we do here."

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. Give me a break!

"I told him that either the things said are true, someone thinks they're true, or they made some people mad enough to make up lies about them, which says they need to fix something."

Let's turn this around, shall we? We shall. Either the things said about Bob are all true, someone thinks they're true, or he made some people mad enough to make up lies about him, which says he needs to fix something.

"But I help run this website. And our goal here, from the beginning, has been to get the truth out."

Laughing out loud again!

"And if I had a church and I had people ticked off like Gina and a few other ex-members, I would find out why and fix it so others didn't get upset for the same reasons."

And shall we turn this one around too? Sure, why not. And if I (Bob) had a website and I had a lot of people ticked off, I would find out why and fix it so others didn't get upset for the same reason.

"I think maybe the men of God that you are around should be taught to work with people instead of threatening people."

And this one. I think Bob should be taught to work with people instead of threatening them.

"I had this same thing with the trustees office. I post truth and fact and since they didn't want that information out, they attacked me. They still are. And I don't care."

Yes you do care Bob. That's why you read my blog. And I'm still waiting for any truth and facts from you. You just love playing the victim: I didn't attack them, but they are attacking me. Whatever.

"If you don't want the people of Columbus to see and hear bad things about the church, then maybe the church needs to see why those bad things are being said. Either it's true, someone THINKS it's true, or you ticked off someone bad enough for them to make stuff up. Either way, YOU people need to change."

And more hypocrisy. If you don't want the people of Columbus to see and hear bad things about you Bob, then maybe you need to see why those bad things are being said. Either it's true, someone THINKS it's true, or you ticked off someone bad enough for them to make stuff up. Either way, YOU need to change.

Stupidest Columbuzz Comment of the Week Award

And the winner is...............................Herman Forester, with this wonderful gem:

"I haven't read this article but I am not sure why any religion of any type needs guns. I believe it's the Christian faith who carries more guns than any other person in the world.

This should be red flags if a gun is even warranted in your home then you have an issue with the world.


Yes we have the right to bear arms but I think that was designed for people who were attacked with the fear of being attacked at any given notice. We don't live in this type of society any longer.

I believe more shootings come from preachers, pastors, etc... more so than any drug dealer."


Does Herman realize that his fearless leader Bob has guns in his home? I guess that means Bob has an issue with the world (big surprise).  And Herman, I beg you, please learn the English language:  "This should be red flags", "who were attacked with the fear of being attacked".  Painful.

Bob and the Golden Rule

Bob wrote on columbuzz:  "A few have told me that I'm the most Christian atheist that they ever met. LOL I try to live my life by the golden rule. I try to treat people well. I think that's what matters most."

Wow, I think I'm going to throw up. I can't believe that Bob is this delusional. Let me revise your statement Bob to make it more believable:

A delusional few have told me that I'm the most Christian atheist that they ever met.  I FAIL to live my life by the golden rule. I FAIL to treat people well.

By the way, since I wrote FAIL in caps, it must be true.

Bob Invokes the Dufus Defense

Bob was recently busted by a commenter on this blog trying to sell an odometer disabling device on the Internet:  http://oi56.tinypic.com/2wbw7if.jpg

He claims he didn't know it was illegal to sell such a device. I like to call this the Dufus Defense: Yes, your Honor, I'm over 50 years old and I have bought and sold cars throughout my lifetime, but I had no idea that selling such a device was against the law.

PROOF positive that Bob's either an idiot or a liar. Of course, we all know he's both, a lying idiot or an idiotic liar, whichever you prefer!

Is Columbuzz a Cult?

Check out this article on columbuzz:  http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5221

After reading it, it made me wonder if Columbuzz is just a cult with Bob as the leader (allegedly like Tim Miracle).  Take a look at this cult checklist:  http://www.csj.org/infoserv_cult101/checklis.htm
  • The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.  CHECK
  • Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.  CHECK
  • The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel.  CHECK
  • The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members.  CHECK
  • The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.  CHECK
  • The leader is not accountable to any authorities.  CHECK
  • The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary.  CHECK
  • The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.  CHECK
  • The group is preoccupied with making money.  CHECK

Here are the others on the list that may be true about columbuzz, but I can't say for sure.  I wouldn't be surprised if they were true.
  • Mind-altering practices are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
  • The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
  • Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
  • Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
  • Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
  • The most loyal members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave (or even consider leaving) the group.

Columbuzz: Web Tabloid

From http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/tabloid.htm/printable:

"The key to tabloid story writing is that something doesn't have to be true to print -- someone just has to have said that it was true. Writers can bring in sources and experts to confirm just about anything. They will use leading questions to get a 'money quote' from a source, or offer up the quote themselves and use it as long as the source agrees with them."

Obviously, the stooges at columbuzz don't understand anonymous internet communication.

Bob's Thanksgiving Message

"Bob, Jeremy, Herman, Cindy, Leon, and the entire staff at Columbuzz.net would like to wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving.  We're thankful for your visits here and your participation in our discussions.  We are building a small community of people who want their views expressed and that has been our goal from the beginning.  We hope that you have a safe and joyous holiday weekend...."

They are not thankful for my visits and participation in their discussions, I can tell you that. And they are definitely building a small community, that's for sure. Tiny, minuscule, mostly consisting of Bob-o-bots.

Bob is Now Faking Comments on Columbuzz

Comment on columbuzz:

"Kim on 24 November, 2010 10:03:01
Columbuzz is great! I love this website."

I submitted this comment and this is not what I wrote.  I would guess that all of the positive comments on columbuzz are faked, but that's just my opinion.

Columbuzz is Still a Total Joke

http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5176

I think they need to get new informants.  It's probably the same informant that gave them bogus info on the trustee.

Bob vs Bob 2.0

Bob #1: "It's only posted for discussion, not to cut anyone down."

Bob #2: "A convicted child molester could have run as a Republican and got elected this time. I would bet several were, nationwide. Like being a Republican, you don't need to know anything about what you worship in order to call yourself a member. Raise your right hand and say you believe. "Hal le lu yah Brother, I is a memba!!! Thank God Almighty!" One reason why so many Republicans are Christians and why so many Christians are Republicans; it's easy to belong. No hard work studying who you worship and vote for. No knowledge of the person is needed. Simply vote as your masters tell you to vote. Blindly belong and blindly follow. 'Time to vote? Where's that thar votin' lever?' Cha ching! 'Oops, I left my readin' glasses at home. Oh, I just need that thar lever. I don't need to read who I'm votin' fer.' Cha ching! I think this is one reason the KKK got so popular back in the day; the days before proper education. And I am a caring, giving, understanding person who is a bit bitter over stupid, lazy people. Meaning people too stupid to vote for the person instead of the party, and others who are too lazy to go vote. Fred Barkes is an incompetent turd. repeat, and INCOMPETENT TURD. I was calling people who vote for people simply because of their party stupid, and those who sit on their *** and don't vote, lazy. Idiots like that are why our country is like it is."

Translation: No, I'm not cutting anyone down, except for Republicans, Christians, and Fred Barkes.

Bob is Still Delusional Part 2

More delusions from Bob:

"And I am a caring, giving, understanding person who is a bit bitter over stupid, lazy people. Meaning people too stupid to vote for the person instead of the party, and others who are too lazy to go vote."

Caring and understanding!?! Maybe towards a select few, but not towards Christians, Republicans, Barkes family members, anyone in the Trustee office, firefighters, EMS workers, etc. And yet another attack on the "stupid, lazy" voters. Bob, you just don't get it. You are the stupid one, not the voters. I just don't understand why you think you are so smart. If you were half as smart as you think you are, you would have won a Nobel Prize in physics by now.

Bob is Still Delusional

Bob is still at it on columbuzz:

"It seems that around Columbus, stating facts and truth about someone is attacking that someone. We all learned that during my campaign."

What facts and truth did you state during the campaign? We're still waiting for any facts or truth. And when I state facts and truth about columbuzz, you think I'm attacking columbuzz. So why doesn't it work both ways?

"I would guess that half of my opponent's votes were sympathy votes because I was said to be running a 'mudslinging' campaign by simply posting truth and facts."

I would guess you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

"The real problem is, some people have secrets they don't want revealed; that's why they are secrets."

People like you.

"Then you have others who cherish the results produced by keeping those secrets. Be it a job or anything. So they get upset when someone, like us here at Columbuzz, try to show the world what is really going on."

I think you mean you try and fail to show the "world" what is really going on. You have no idea what is really going on. And is Columbus really the entire world?

"And you have others who go to the polls and vote all Republican, no matter what. As long as a good ole boy Republican gets in, who he is or what he is doing wrong to us doesn't matter. A convicted child molester could have run as a Republican and got elected this time. I would bet several were, nationwide. Like being a Republican, you don't need to know anything about what you worship in order to call yourself a member."

I see you're still bitter about the election. Time to bash all Republicans.

"Raise your right hand and say you believe. "Hal le lu yah Brother, I is a memba!!! Thank God Almighty!" One reason why so many Republicans are Christians and why so many Christians are Republicans; it's easy to belong. No hard work studying who you worship and vote for. No knowledge of the person is needed. Simply vote as your masters tell you to vote. Blindly belong and blindly follow."

You really shouldn't attack others for being hypocritical when you are one of the most hypocritical people in the world.

"I think this is one reason the KKK got so popular back in the day; the days before proper education. Now THAT might be considered an attack. Not on all Republicans or Christians, but on ignorant people that vote for people for all the wrong reasons."

Time to bash all the voters too. Sorry, but the voters knew exactly what they were doing by denying you public office for the FIFTH time. That's where you and I disagree, Bob. You think the voters are all idiots. I think the people of Columbus are very smart to keep you out of public office.

"I'm only stating my opinion, but the intention of an attack is there."

You mean your uninformed opinion, as usual.

Bob's Delusions

Bob wrote on columbuzz: "A public servant is just that; a servant. The bad ones will change or the bad ones will be gone. Apparently our Trustee condones and encourages this. I think the next step is to line up some of the victims and have them tell their experiences to the county commissioners. Then we'll see what can and needs to be changed. I have a couple of people willing to describe a funeral a few years ago as well. Maybe the commissioners and the newspapers, radio stations, and tv stations would like to see and hear that testimony first hand."

Bob is so delusional that he thinks the newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations would actually care about something that didn't happen a few years ago.  They all have ignored him up to this point.  I guess he's just forever the optimist.

Blast From the Past

I found this article and the comments on Columbuzz to be very interesting:

Junior High School Math Lesson For Bob

Bob, I know math is difficult, so I thought I would help you out. Here's an example of calculating percentage increase:

Question:
The trustee was paid $8,000 per year for 20 hours per week 25 years ago. The trustee is now paid $43,260 for around 40 hours per week. What is the percentage increase?

Answer:
$43,260 (current pay) - $16,000 (original pay * 2) = $27,260

$27,260 / $16,000 (original pay) = 1.70

1.70 * 100 = 170% over 25 years

It is NOT 500%!  Either you are lying, or you don't understand junior high school math.  Which is it?

By the way, the average percentage increase per year is 4%. This is a little more difficult to calculate, so once you master percentage increase, let me know and then we can tackle the average per year problem.  As always Bob, I'm here for you to answer any math questions you may have.

Bob the Slanderer

Bob on Facebook:
"I did sign everything I wrote. It was important to my campaign, so I thought.  But now, with threats of slander lawsuits and the like, I will be signing a lot less; probably nothing. Let them try to figure out who wrote what."


What?!  Bob's afraid of a slander lawsuit?!? I thought everything he wrote was TRUTH! By the way Bob, I believe when it's defamation by the written word, it's technically libel, not slander.  And there's an easy way around the problem of figuring out who wrote what. Someone can sue columbuzz, not just you.

"I wrote truth. And when it was verifiable truth, I said so. When it was something I heard, I said it was something I heard."

Bob, is something wrong with your caps lock?  It's TRUTH, remember.  It's not TRUTH unless it's in all caps!

"People don't like the messenger when they don't like the message. So now they can try to figure out who that messenger is." 

Bob, most people wouldn't like you regardless of your message.

"We allow anyone to post on Columbuzz.(until they act like buttholes) It is an OPINION website. Everyone has a right to their opinion."

I see Bob is still obsessed with buttholes and still a hypocrite.  Bob's definition of a butthole is someone who disagrees with him and points out his hypocrisy.  So sorry, but columbuzz is NOT an OPINION website.

And can someone explain to me why Pamela Sample still associates with Bob?  She still advertises her insurance agency on columbuzz.net and on columbuzz's Facebook page.  Is she unaware of Bob's disgusting comments on this blog?

Registration Closed on Columbuzz

Have you tried to create an account on columbuzz lately?  You get the following message:

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED ON COLUMBUZZ.NET

I think something is wrong with registration anyway, since for some strange reason, right after I submit an article, my account is disabled and my article is never posted.  Since they claim that they want people to contribute articles and opinions, it must be a system glitch.  I hope they get it fixed soon!

Columbuzz Blows the Whistle: On a Dog

Columbuzz (on Facebook) has blown the whistle on a rogue St. Bernard that is menacing Columbus by pooping in people's yards!

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=128610240530712&set=a.118804204844649.18331.118776748180728

Of course, every time I read one of Bob's "articles" on columbuzz, I feel like Bob has pooped in my yard.
