Bob the Flip Flopper

Bob wrote in an article about the maintenance building on Mapleton St.:  "In my opinion, it should never have been purchased.  I believe that the building should be sold."

In a comment today:  "Then maybe there is good reason to sell the Washington St. office and move into Mapleton St."
 
In other words, I was for selling the maintenance building on Mapleton St. before I was against it.

Also, (and these are paraphrases) :

Let's return to an all volunteer fire fighter department. Let the jobless fight fires. Oh, they're union? Look how professional they are. Maybe they should all be union.

Look at these outrages raises (3.1% and 2.9%). But I believe in 3% raises.

The staff are rude and unprofessional. Except the one I like. Oh and also the person who confronted me after I called her a bitch. She nice and professional too. On second thought, anyone on the staff who is related to someone I dislike is rude and unprofessional.

The fire chief needs to go. But look at the good job the fire department he runs does.

I will ban anyone from my web site if they don't follow the usage policy. I have never read the usage policy.

Columbuzz is not my web site. I own the name and it Is registered under my name and adress. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, Dorothy.

I will root out all wrong doing I can find. That whole thing about the police interviewing me and sending a report to the prosecutor is not an indication I might have broken the law.

I am doing what I think is best for the community. Some nosy lady filed a complaint against me. I'm going to look
up dirt on her too.

I am only reporting the truth. The trustees mother in law's name isn't Ruth Baxter? Oops. I said it was a guess.

I didn't have time to verify the signatures on my objection with the auditor's office. I had time to call the local radio station so they could be there to cover me filing said objection



I believe the Trustee's office should be run professionally. Bitch. Monster. Whore. Asshole with a mouth. Nimrod.

We don't need both buildings. If the Mapleton St. building is more suited for our needs, maybe we should keep it. Why was that so hard to understand?

Because you're a Barkes fanatic and just want to run me down. You can't really be that stupid.

Dude said...

Yes, we do need both buildings. Why is that so hard for you to understand, Bob? Because you are an anti-Barkes fanatic and just want to run him down. You really can't be that stupid.

Otis Spunkmeyer said...

I'm not a "Barkes fanatic". I'm not even a fan of his.
But I DO know what an idiot Bob Freeman is.
I DO know that Bob Freeman is not fit to hold any political office.
I DO know that Bob Freeman is unprofessional in many ways.
I DO know that Bob Freeman trips over his own ego repeatedly.
I DO know that Bob Freeman's law supercedes all other law.

Don't agree?
Too bad.
Prove me wrong.
You can't!

Sorry for the plagiarism, but. Yes, we do need both buildings. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Use of the maintenance building is only temporary in order to get the township working while the other building is repaired. The building on Washington Street is much larger than, and really needs to be.

Gentlemen, you are just making yourselves look bad.

The point is, please provide more than a quote, Dude. Give context. quote the containing paragraph. Source it so people can view it themselves.

Dude said...

When Bob starts sourcing his quotes, then I will. I guess you haven't spent too much time on columbuzz.

Phil Swaim said...

Dude, you are just as bad as you claim Bob is, and are therefore just as incredible (meaning not credible, by the way). Why should I believe either of you.

If you really had proof, it would be all too easy to post it and to source it. Since you are not willing to source it, then for all I know you are just feeding us lines like you claim Bob feeds us lines.

Please provide full context. Be a decent investigator at least.

Dude said...

I can source every quote I have attributed to Bob. Most of the readers on here already know his quotes, so there's no reason to source them, and Bob never disputes them. And I'll just use one of Bob's famous quotes: "Show me ONE lie I have told. Stop denying and PROVE me wrong. You can't."

Dude said...

Serious question Phil. From your website, it looks like you are an investigator also. If so, then why didn't you investigate Bob's claims? Why did you initially vote for him on topix?

Dude, when I first pulled his site up, it came up with support for bob - here is what came up: http://bcwatchman.blogspot.com/2010/09/bob-freeman-for-columbus-township.html

it seems obvious that he has his mind set with the investigative powers of bob...

Dude said...

Check out http://www.topix.com/forum/city/columbus-in/T7A1ST6ABV5AHQG89/p2. Read the comment from Watchman. It looks like he is pulling his support for Bob.

interesting, when i first went to his site it showed support for bob. if i am wrong in that, i hope that he changes what pops up first on the site, which is why i jump defensive. from reading that:
1. that goes different that what is the first page that came up on his site, so i stand corrected on that. hopefully the page that first comes up from google will change.

2. i disagree with him that the maintenance building needs to go, but at the same time i can think of good ways of expanding on its abilities, but that is a topic i will not go into until after the election so my words can not be used against me. and NO, NOT IN ANY WAY am I against the building or the fire department or the current trustee with that statement.

Phil Swaim said...

Chris, merely having an interview with a candidate is not supporting that candidate. Fred Barkes REFUSED to come on my show.

That makes me thing Fred has something to hide.

I did support that candidate, Bob Freeman, after checking up on SBOA publications.

The heresay and personal attacks I could not possibly investigate. There are limits to what a citizen journalist can do as far as people's personal lives.

indeed I am now in neutrality. Both Fred and Bob are not supportable at this moment.

The first thing on bcwatchman.blogspot.com is NOT support for Bob Freeman. That post was long ago, it's not even on the first page anymore. You are probably using google and that is the first thing to pop up.

I must say this, Dude has done some good things on this site, but drop childishness. Let's be serious writers so people will take us seriously.

Dude said...

I can't be entirely serious. That's not my personality/style. I want people to have a little bit of fun and a laugh when they read my blog. I wouldn't want to bore them to death. Then they wouldn't come back.

Dude said...

"The heresay and personal attacks I could not possibly investigate. There are limits to what a citizen journalist can do as far as people's personal lives."

I do have to take issue with this statement. His attacks are all laid out on columbuzz. Bob doesn't try to hide it, although he has deleted some of the worst ones.

Phil Swaim said...

Nono. I don't investigate things like the funeral incident. I can't possibly do that. It just has to sit there and be an unsupported claim.

I cannot be investigating to see if someone really is a whore. That just has to sit there as an unsupported claim.

I can only report things I can back-up. SBOA material, for instance.

The only thing I could do is just point out the silly claims. I try to be somewhat ballanced on my site.

I don't think I would call this site "fun." You guys are taking it to the point of just making fun of someone. That's wrong no matter who it is. That's just my experienced opinion and advice.

Attourneys are looking at Bob's site. I bet he could get attourney's looking at your site. And I bet he would take action. i'm just trying to save you guys some headaches down the road.

Dude said...

For the most part, I don't moderate comments. But I will consider deleting any that others think are libelous if they bring them to my attention. There are many libelous statements about Fred Barkes on Bob's site and I offered to provide him a list, but he ignores me. And if you knew my history with Bob, you might understand why I'm making fun of him. But I understand and respect your opinion.

Dude said...

Also, if Bob has any problems with any of the comments here, all he has to do is let me know (with a comment) and I'll consider deleting them. But I know for a fact he refuses to do the same.
