Columbuzz is a Mickey Mouse Operation

Definition of Mickey Mouse:  not to be taken seriously; unimportant, petty, useless, incompetent, trivial, worthless

I believe Mickey Mouse operation describes columbuzz perfectly.  The administrators and moderators at columbuzz do many things that legitimate websites would never do:
  • The moderators do not follow the site usage policy.  They claim that the policy does not apply to them and one of the moderators even admitted that he has never read the usage policy.  How can you enforce the usage policy as a moderator when you haven't even read it?
  • The moderators use their site usage policy to intimidate and censor commenters.  They promise anonymity yet they reveal people's identities and IP addresses.  They remove comments that they consider uncivil, but the comments are usually just opinions that the moderators disagree with.
  • They modify articles of those who disagree with them.
  • They no longer allow articles to be published if they disagree with them.
  • They disable the accounts of people who disagree with them.
  • They ban the IP addresses of people who disagree with them.
  • They refuse to remove obvious libelous comments on their website.
  • They examine every comment in a feeble attempt to determine if a commenter is submitting comments using multiple names.
  • They disabled text highlighting and copying on their web pages in an attempt to keep one person from easily quoting their articles.
  • They disabled accessing their site with Firefox in an attempt to deny one person access.
  • Some of the polls on their website only have one choice.
  • Polls are removed when the results are not acceptable to the moderators.
  • Should a whistle blowing website accept advertisements?  What if someone wanted to blow the whistle on one of the advertisers?
They are truly the most hypocritical website moderators I have ever seen.  They demand certain behavior from their users that they do not demand from themselves.

    Bob Freeman talks like he's in 6th grade.

    Not qualified to be Trustee with a demeanor like that.

    Maybe qualified to mow grass.

    You best go hide under something solid. Your world is about to fall all around you...

    Don't forget about constantly stealing copyrighted content. They're good at that too!

    "Waaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Bob, how old are you?

    "Don't like it? Stay away."

    I plan to shortly after the election. It is a worthless website.

    "We charge ZERO for our advertising, so far."

    So you say. But somehow Jeremy makes money on your site.

    "Do it here or elsewhere because we will not put up with your bullshit on our site."

    Yet I put up with your BS on my site. What are you afraid of? Can't stand it when people call you out on your BS?

    Bob, you seem hyper sensitive over this post. Truth hurts.

    Jeremy makes a little on google ad hits, but it is minimal. Wouldn't buy his coffee or your dope.

    I think it's interesting that Bob has reverted back to his usual childishness and vulgarity, since the election is today and he thinks people won't read it before they vote.

    He held back for about a week by removing stolen articles from other sites, not posting his crap on this site and "apologizing".

    Bob is a joke.

    Dude said...

    Yet Jeremy told me that he makes nothing on Google Ads. Strange.

    Yikes said...

    Bob - again, you are a joke.

    When you said "You best go hide under something solid. Your world is about to fall all around you" what exactly did you mean?

    Concrete you've "tested", your political "career" or your overblown ego?

    Just curious.

    Dude said...

    I would guess all three Yikes!

    Dude said...

    "Do it here or elsewhere because we will not put up with your bullshit on our site."

    I guess the people have decided Bob. Your site is full of BS, not mine.

    Yikes said...

    Funny how the day after Bob and the columbuzzards were shown, yet again, that they are 100% unelectable, the "technical problems" that were preventing others from copy-n-pasting and using FireFox have been miraculously corrected!

    Dude said...

    Also, have you noticed that almost the entire trustee section has been removed?

    Dude said...

    And did you notice that Bob really didn't dispute any of my statements? Personally, I would be embarrassed to be associated with an operation like columbuzz, but they seem to be very proud of themselves.

    Bob Freeman said...

    We are very proud of Columbuzz.net

    It does a lot of good, for people who know how to read and recognize truth.

    Dude said...

    We've already refuted your skills recognizing the truth on this blog. But at least you still have your Bob-o-bots.

    I'd like to hear what "good", Bob thinks Columbuzz has done.

    There are many different ways to screen grab that trash on Columbuzz. There is Irfranview and others. As for Columbuzz trying to trace I.P.'s and so on TOR/Vidalia can take care of that. I wouldn't want those classless, trashy jerks wanting my information at all.
