Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"It's strange that when things die down nothing changes. I just noticed the Milestone Ministries article. It was such a big deal, now nothing. They waited it out and nothing really changed."
That's because columbuzz has zero credibility, Bob.
"The election is over, and folks seem to have lost interest in what the trustee and the fire department are up to. Oh, I'm being sued for some of what was said during the heat of it, but for the most part, interest has waned. So nothing changes there either. We have the same cast of characters doing what they've always done. I think we've exposed a few things they have been doing. But they are still in the same positions they were in so our efforts haven't made much difference, yet."
I guess you're just a failure at everything you do, Bob.
"If we expect to make changes for the better we must fight on. We must keep exposing what is really going on. We can't allow silence, or a lawsuit, to stop the advances we have made."
Who's we? YOU are the one being sued. And what advances have you actually made? You lost yet another election because of your epic incompetence.
"For me, it's a race of sorts. I want to see the trustee and the fire chief out of office before the trustee's current term is over."
Good luck with that.
"Tim Miracle is still the leader of what a lot of you called a cult. People are still there and from what so many of you said, there are people suffering there."
If people want to stay, that's their choice. They can always leave if they really want to, just like Misty.
"Misty Palmer went out on a limb to help expose what she felt were injustices going on at that 'church.' She needs your help to keep exposing the truth."
Why don't you help her expose the truth? Or have you also lost interest? I thought you considered yourself an expert investigator.
"Some good people went out on a limb to help me expose what a lot of people felt, and still feel, are injustices at the trustees office and the ECIFD. But for the most part, nothing has really changed."
Bob, you've admitted that you don't even know who some of your sources are. How do you know they are good people?
"Now we need proof of what a lot of you have told us. If we go silent, nothing changes."
Sounds like you still have no proof. The clock is ticking, Bob.
"My hope was to replace the trustee and make a lot of those changes, but that didn't happen."
Thank God that didn't happen. I believe you would have been a disaster as the trustee.
"And now they are trying to use a lawsuit to silence me and Columbuzz.net. If that happens, nothing will change."
I wouldn't be so sure about that if I were you.
"They argue about the facts. We disagree on what the facts are. I guess the judge will help sort that out. But if we go silent, nothing changes, except they hide what they're doing a little bit better. So we need your help on this."
Sounds like you're getting desperate. Where are all of your supporters, Bob? Where is your evidence that Fred Barkes is a criminal? I'm sure Jimmer Jones has some evidence for you. If not, then why don't you just find the evidence yourself?
"They will not silence me."
I believe a judge can silence you Bob.
"I am NOT the owner of this website. I own the domain name columbuzz.net. The staff at this website most likely won't be under a restraining order and they will continue to expose the crap that we find. I will simply need to be quiet for the duration."
Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
"And if the court happens to rule that this website can't expose anything during the trial, there are other people at other websites just waiting to join in. I am not alone. The truth WILL come out."
And who would that be Bob?
"Bully tactics don't work on me. Trying to muffle me and my friends will only make us louder."
I have a feeling you'll end up standing all alone when this is all over.
"When that crucial piece of evidence that I have been looking for, the one that I hope will have them removed from office and possibly thrown in jail, when it arrives, I will happily tell them what I am about to post, and/or about to show to the authorities."
How long have you been waiting for this "crucial piece of evidence"? A year now? You better have it soon. Tick tock.
"And to paraphrase what he said after the election,'It's been a nasty one, and that will let me enjoy this victory all the more.' Like a big ole ham sammich, huh Fred? Enjoy it while you can, Einstein. LOL"
You're so hilarious Bob. NOT!
"The use of an attorney to try to silence me for my telling of what they know is the truth, in my opinion, is a sign of an all out fight. It's no holds barred now. Remember what I am writing here. It is about to come back to haunt you all. The truth is about to come out, and these four people are about to regret finding the guy in Seymour to start this stupid lawsuit. And when it all falls in on them, they will only have themselves to blame."
Yadda, yadda, yadda. More lame threats from Bob. Are you getting nervous?
"If I could have done during the campaign what I am about to do, I would be your trustee now, and those four would most likely be employed elsewhere, or retired."
Please don't scare us like that Bob! You as the Trustee would be everyone's worst nightmare!
"Like I said, we need your help. If you sent us information earlier, we need as much proof as you can find."
Sounding desperate again. Tick tock.
"If you know a Barkes or a Ferrenburg, get ready to be subpeonaed. It will take everyone to get this truth out."
Sure Bob, whatever. You do know you can't subpoena the entire township, right?
"Columbus, Indiana is about to have a circus. And a circus that all of Indiana is going to want to see."
Columbus, Indiana already has a circus, columbuzz. And Bob, you're the head clown.
"Fred and Rodney, I think you might just consider resigning. Because like the buddies of yours at the whistledick site always say, 'I'll be standing there when they throw you out. I'll be the one with popcorn.'"
Bob being civil again. I think you might consider a different hobby, Bob. Maybe you can revive "The Bob Show".

This latest article posted by Bob reveals his continued campaign to Cyber Bully, Whine and Play the Victim Role, his way out of this law suit.
His frequent demeaning comments, in a public forum, about the plaintiffs attorney may very well too prove to be a very unwise and costly decision for him.
When you find that piece if evidence Bob? You've been claiming to have that piece of evidence for a long time now. So you don't have it. Sounds like you've been claiming someone is a crook with no proof. Oops.
So can someone with more computer knowledge tell me why I get this error everytime I try to access Columbuzz, from every computer I have tried and by following different links in this site:
MDB2 Error: unknown error
I'm getting that error too. Their website must be down again.
There goes this hard drive
It is really sad that Bob is the way he is. Before the election he stated numerous times he had evidence against the Trustee but of course he never really did (now he is asking others for help). I hope the judge considers Bob’s character when reviewing the case. Here is someone who has had to receive requests to stop copying portions of other‘s articles for use on Columbuzz, who states people can post anonymously and then outs them, who went into a building and looked at personal files of other people AND took pictures of the paperwork in the files and to top it off TRIED to sell illegal odometer tampering devices. Just because no one bought one does not mean he did not try to sell them. This is the person who wants people to stand up for him in a court of law? These are just some of the things we know and have been proven about him. These are not instances where we think he has done something and are trying to get proof, but these things have already been proven. When will the people of Columbus tell Bob that they have had enough of him? He is not a reporter, he does not even know the laws for being an investigator, proven by the files he looked at and took pictures of. Instead of a truth finder, you have a bully in Bob.

The whole files in public place thing was just fine. I actually was angered at the people who left them out.
If Bob did anything with those papers or actually did anything with that information, then he should pay the penalties for that, but if it cannot be proven, then he merely reported something he saw.
Honestly, that is the only good piece of reporting Bob has ever done that I have seen. It was actual evidence and documented.
But all the other stuff he has done and said with out proof must not go unpunished. If one has the proof, give it. If I were to write an article for a journal and I put my conclusions, but I gave no proof or any evidence to actually back it up, I would be laughed out of the industry.
"The whole files in public place thing was just fine. I actually was angered at the people who left them out."
But in my opinion, Bob still did not handle it properly. What is wrong with first trying to fix the problem privately without embarrassing anyone? Why not give the people involved the chance to fix the problem BEFORE grandstanding on columbuzz? If he brings the problem to their attention and they still do nothing about it, THEN publish it on columbuzz.
"Instead of a truth finder, you have a bully in Bob."
100% agree with this statement. I don't believe Bob cares about the truth based on his words and actions. I think he just likes attention, good or bad and like you said, uses columbuzz to try to bully people.
The silence from Columbuzz is deafening!
"I am NOT the owner of this website. I own the domain name columbuzz.net. The staff at this website most likely won't be under a restraining order and they will continue to expose the crap that we find. I will simply need to be quiet for the duration."
STOP PLAYING YOUR CASE OUT ON THE INTERNET BOB...IT'S OVER! THE FACTS WILL COME OUT IN COURT NOT ON YOUR JOKE OF A WEB-SITE. THE "STAFF" YOU CLAIM TO HAVE IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY LAWSUIT...YOU ARE...BOB FREEMAN...YOU ARE BEING SUED!
The whole files in public place thing was just fine. I actually was angered at the people who left them out."
Reporting on it is one thing. He took close up pictures of the personal paperwork in the files, after he looked at it. Would you want Bob to have your personal info? Taking pictures from a little distance of the boxes would have gotten the message across as well. He was not within his rights to look through those so it was not just fine. Just another example of him taking things too far and wanting respect for it.

Bob is NOT a journalist. Bob is NOT a reporter. Bob is a CITIZEN just like everyone else. Having a dumb little web-site THAT HE OWNS (his name is ON THE LINE) does not give him journalistic privilege which he is about to find out.
Bob SHOULD have reported the violations OR perceived violations to a LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY or HIPPA or the appropriate agency instead of acting like the 6 NEWS WATCHDOG or THE INVESTIGATORS. Bob is NEITHER ONE. HE HAS NO CREDENTIALS AND NO CREDIBILITY. PERIOD.
McGraw Hill, the owners of WRTV, LIN television, the owners of WISH, the people who own FOX, WTHR and HOME NEWS ENTERPRISES have LEGAL DEPARTMENTS and COUNSEL that are responsible for making sure their reporters are in COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. Bob has had HIMSELF as counsel and we are about to see Bob's legal skills in action.
He was WARNED OVER AND OVER, even got a cease and desist and made FUN OF THE COUNSEL for the plaintiffs over misspelling and the validity of the claim. Bob IS A FOOL but we all know this and have known it for quite some time and now Casa Di Freeman is in HUGE TROUBLE legally and soon to be financially. Bob DOES NOT HAVE deep pockets and is about to find out the real cost of his actions.
From Facebook:
Columbuzz update, A primary hard drive has crashed on the server which hosts Columbuzz. The host is working on repairing the drive and recovering any data. Please be patient while it is being repaired and Columbuzz will be operational soon.
EPIC FAILURE:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5854&utm_campaign=Columbuzz&utm_source=Columbuzz&utm_medium=facebook” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.
Some of you may already know Columbuzz has experienced a mechanical failure. Repairs are being made, thanks for your patience.
Check out our Facebook page for updates to your questions about the (MDB2 Error: unknown error)
Why don't you guys do everyone a favor and just keep columbuzz down permanently.
For a FEE, anything is possible. I would say you can purchase the rights to the files for $2000 and Columbuzz will disappear.
So Jeremy, I guess you're only in it for the money? You don't care about "whistle blowing" and the "truth"?
Actually you are wrong on many accounts but someone "investing" can keep Columbuzz closed. I only offered the "rights" to the files.
"Actually you are wrong on many accounts"
I see you're still delusional just like Bob.
"but someone "investing" can keep Columbuzz closed"
It would only take $2000 to shut you and Bob up? Pretty sad. Of course it goes without saying that the rights to your files aren't worth $0.02.
Dude, I believe he is referring to the files thus far. That doesn't mean they would start anew, just give up what they have so far. As far as hard drive problems, one has to question the timing of this.
Could it be the "decist" hard drive that is the problem ?

I'm just taking Jeremy at his word, which probably isn't worth much. One would definitely have to question the timing of the hard drive problems. I wonder how many past articles will be "lost".
"Could it be the "decist" hard drive that is the problem ?"
No, I think it's the "subpeonaed" hard drive that's the problem.
Mechanical failure?
They can't even make up a good lie.
At least they got half of it right......the FAILURE part. LOL

"Yeah, I saw that after my comment, but he also said that it gets you the files. The disappear might just mean as it is now, I don't know.
From Facebook:
"For those who experienced this error (MDB2 Error: unknown error) prior to a hard drive failure on Columbuzz means a table fault happened in the session data. This happens when one of the sql tables crashes."
Jeremy, do you have any idea what you're talking about? Do you even know what a database table is? SQL? How exactly does an "sql table crash"?
Dude, rather than go into a 500 page essay suffice to say Columbuzz likely did this to themselves. There is NOTHING wrong with godaddy and their "private server" which is NOT private.
He said he probably lost the last 4 or 5 days only. The hard drive crashed. It backs itself up every 5 or 6 days. Things break down sometimes.
Bob will do anything just to get his picture in The Republic.
Smile, Bob!
I think a fair punishment would be tarred and feathered.
Drawn and quartered would be too much trouble.
Bobby in the Republic.
I suspect that Bob submitted the story in today's Republic himself, in his silly a**ed and never ending quest, seeking attention and playing the victim's role.
Jeremy & Herman,
I have some terrific news and I'm sure you'll both be thrilled to know that I have saved all of the controversial pages, along with the associated comments, in their entirety!
Since your terrible harddrive tragedy, I thought it might ease your minds. I know an attorney that certainly appreciates the articles.
Freeman named in libel lawsuit
COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Columbus Township trustee, fire chief and their wives have sued the trustee’s opponent in last November’s election for libel.
In the lawsuit filed March 2, Fred and Sandra Barkes and Rodney and Briana Ferrenburg claim that Bob Freeman maintains a website on which he has “consistently harassed” them by publishing allegedly “untruthful matter.”

Bob makes the big time!

"Bob makes the big time!"
I'll bet he's just loving the attention.
Columbuzz is probably done...

We can only hope......
FROM THE REPUBLIC:
Freeman said Wednesday that he owns the domain name for the website, but that someone else runs it.
And, if I own the store but my manager does wrong, I AM IN TROUBLE. Welcome to the world Bob, now get out your wallet!
That wasn't what the reporter was told. He was told that Bob owns the domain name but someone else owns the website it is linked to, columbusprivateserver.com.
I would gather that if you asked 100 people to tell you the first thing that comes to mind when you say Columbuzz, 90 won't know what you are talking about. The other 10 will say Bob Freeman.
Bob is, without question, the highest profile commentator/editor/moderator or whatever you want to call him. AGAIN, this lawsuit is not against Columbuzz it is against BOB FREEMAN and comments he made on COLUMBUZZ.
It's time for you Columbuzz lovers to get a reality check. Your source for "news" and "trash" has been CHECKED...OUT!
Why do your server hard drives "crash" so often? I thought you used a hosting service.
Their "private server" crashes more than any web-site I know.
Anyone can be a journalist. But then yet not everyone is who tries to be. Bob should have asked questions before he just reported it. He also should have probably called the police and have them investigate. He could still report it and follow the police reports on it.
Bob has the right energy to do good work, he just spends that energy on ad hominem attack and not fully investigating the situation or gathering facts. of course, hearsay is considered fact on cbuzz.
