Can Bob Get Anything Right?

Forgot to tell all of you that Bob's information about Fred Barkes was mostly incorrect, as usual. Not that it's any of Bob's business (although he seems to think everything is his business), but he was not rushed to the hospital and he was out on Wednesday feeling much better.

Bob's Lame Threats

Bob spewed on columbuzz:
"(Dude), just because I think someone is a turd, and should be watched like a hawk, it doesn't mean I wish him ill health or that I don't hope he gets well quickly. That's a game that lowlifes like you want to play."

Are you talking about lowlifes that call women vile names?  Then that would be you.

"You need to start keeping your trap shut so you don't make matters worse."

I'm legally entitled to express my opinion on my blog, but I'll make you a deal Bob.  You keep your trap shut, I'll keep mine shut.

"You whine and cry because you don't see or believe the evidence to support what we say."

I don't whine or cry.  I just call you out on your BS.

"Hold onto your shorts because there's about to be."

OK Bob, I'm holding on!

"Do they drug test you at work? I think they should."

No, they don't.  Why do you ask?

"Does your boss see your website? Do their clients?"

My boss doesn't care what I do in my spare time and my clients don't either.

"Do the people at the Christian school where your wife works see what you do on your trashy website? Maybe they should."

I've never brought your wife into our fight.  In fact, I've deleted negative comments about her on my blog and declared both her and your sister off limits.  But somehow I doubt you will extend to me the same courtesy.

"Maybe all those 'friends and family' on Facebook that you have need to see your website as well."

A lot of them already have.

"You want to keep antagonizing. I think it's time to return the favor."

Yawn.

Bob vs Bob 19.0

Bob #1:
"We just received a report that Columbus Township Trustee Fred Barkes is in the hospital."
"We hope that he gets better soon. Our thoughts are with him and his family."


Bob #2:
"Fred Barkes is an incompetent turd. repeat, an INCOMPETENT TURD."
"And I will not leave Barkes alone. He is a crook"
"Oh no, I believe he (Fred Barkes) IS an idiot and they ARE monsters."
"Why don't they simply stop being rude, condescending monsters?"
"And these monsters are in charge of our system?"
"What an idiot."
"Fred Barkes is an incompetent nitwit who has a staff that is just as incompetent."
"She's (Sandy Barkes) acted like a cunt that should have been knocked on her ass, in my opinion."
"Woman or not, she (Sandy Barkes) should have been knocked on her ass"

Lucy wrote on columbuzz:
"But when one's words are nothing but degrading, condenscending. lack of total disrespect, I just won't read that kind of writing."

Um, Lucy, do you read Bob's writing?  That's about as degrading, condescending, and disrespectful as you can get.

Epic Battle: Bob vs. Ricky

Excerpts from Bob and Ricky's conversation posted on columbuzz (as usual, my snarky comments are in bold):

Bob:
"I asked Jeremy if we could just take it down, that you were a good guy. He said that if you make Columbuzz a good fact on the list, he will remove the article. lol  Jeremy liked your list and thought it would add to our site. Then he got stubborn when he realized it pissed you off. Right or wrong."

Jeremy needs to grow up.

"Our intention is to do good and improve the community."

You have failed miserably.

"Most of what you see as rumors and lies are in fact true and provable. It's just that we can't always show our proof or we will reveal our source."

Whatever Bob.

Ricky:
"Why would I make a statement about ColumBuzz? I hate it! Especially your most recent revenge episode (or Jeremys). It's a simple request and it just shows what a asshole he is (and you as well). Why should I make a deal? I have no connection to the Barkes. Just one of many who dislike your tactics and your good guy/bad guy routine. Jeremy (or you) just happened to point out that he knew my employer as if I had done something I was ashamed of. The constant threats and attacks against others who criticize you are such lot of BS."

Can't argue with this statement. Ricky's one smart guy.

Bob wrote:
"Never mind. That revenge is letting people know that Fred Barkes' nephew has been harassing me and Columbuzz for 9 months. And one of his firemen have been harassing our advertisers."

Please.  I run a legal blog.  Fred Barkes had nothing to do with the creation of my blog.  I did it on my own.  Bob probably thinks anyone who disagrees with him is harassing him.

"Never mind. We will remain assholes."

I'm sure you will.

"Mine was a simple request that would fulfill your simple request. Be stubborn. Be an asshole."

Why should Ricky lie for you?

"People should see what an unreasonable asshole you really are. And they will."

Bob just loves to threaten people.  Unfortunately for Bob, I believe only his bots listen to him now.

Ricky:
"Why does my request make me an unreasonable asshole? Why should I have to do anything to make you and Jeremy happy? Why would you feel the need to strike back at me again?"

Bob:
"I don't feel a need to strike back."

And yet here you are, striking back on columbuzz.

"I had the impression you were a good guy. You are not. Others have the same impression. They need to know the truth."

Truth as defined by Bob.  Sorry Bob, but I have to disagree with you on this one.  Ricky sounds like a great guy.

"I thought I had it worked out that he would remove it. But NO, you want to be a stubborn unreasonable asshole. So enjoy the publicity."

What publicity would that be Bob? It's not like columbuzz gets a lot of web traffic.

Bob's Disrespect

From my blog:
Mr. Inquisitive said...
I have requested the "Mouth" photo that looks like a sphincter to not be used.

Dude (NOT Jeff Barkes) said...
Why do you have to request it? Can't you demand it? Or would that make your cult leader most displeased with you?

Mr. Inquisitive said...
Respect

Well, Mr. Inquisitive, I guess it's obvious now that Bob has no respect for you.

A Step in the Right Direction

http://www.columbuzz.net/index.php?news=6276

Response to a Bot

Jeremy/Joanna/Bobobot wrote on columbuzz/my blog:
"We looked through this post a little closer; the only thing we posted was what Google sent us and everything else were links to the White pages including Jeremy's computer screen along. Not sure what information was given someone using any search engine or Facebook couldn't find?"

But what is Jeremy's intent in posting the information?  Harassment?

"It amazes me people get all worked up when they become exposed after all they have done to cause tension to another person's life."

Who's all worked up?  It's not like anyone actually takes your silly website seriously, except for the bots of course.  By the way, have you and Bob caused tension to another person's life?

"The other website is designed to thrash Bob Freeman, the intent they claim is to whistle blow the whistle blowers. If this was true, it wouldn’t be 90% about Bob Freeman."

I believe Bob is 90% of columbuzz.

"I know during many meetings we've had, Bob has mentioned this other website, talking about how they have listed his employers information so people could call and "harass" them about Bob and what Bob talks about on here."

Bob the victim?  Priceless.

"Bob has always used his real name, information allowing anyone to attack him, and they have."

Bob deletes attacks against him on columbuzz but attacks anyone he pleases.

"Now this same person Mark AKA Dude is claiming he is being harassed. Does the shoe feel ok on the other foot? When did the definition change from one to another? How is the information here posted different than posting advertisers phone numbers encouraging people to call and complain about being listed on Columbuzz. It isn't any different, the standards haven't changed, just the players information."

If you can't see the difference, then there's no hope for you.

"Wake up; when you slam people for months, and now your information is listed you get upset. You deserve this treatment if any treatment comes your way, as you have let your many visitors insult, harass, threaten violence, consistently bringing up things to get Bob Freeman in trouble with the law."

You're right, I have let visitors insult, harass, and threaten violence, and Bob was the worst offender.

"You SIR are not perfect"

I have never claimed to be.

"neither is Bob"

Careful now, you don't want to anger your cult leader.

Bob Freeman: Zero Credibilty

Bob Freeman wrote on columbuzz:
"Just to be clear, this is Jeremy's deal. I am intentionally staying clear. But I am on the sidelines watching."

Sure Bob, whatever you say.  So is that why you asked to be friends with me on Facebook?

"Mark says it took me 9 months to learn his identity. Nine months of not trying to find his identity. I didn't see any way to find it and quite frankly didn't care."

Bob, are you fibbing again?

"I will continue to remain out of this debate. I will enjoy watching the chips fall where they may..."

As will I.

"It does look to me as though Jeremy has provided the all-important PROOF that so many have been demanding."

What proof would that be Bob?  That he's a despicable person, just like you?

"I suspect that he has much more to come."

I'm sure whatever it is, it will be TRUTH (as defined by Jeremy).

Response to Jeremy's Email to my Wife

"Subject: Are you prepared to be sued?"

Are you, Jeremy?

"Are you aware you husband has been writing about someone he doesn't know on the Internet causing your entire family history to be exposed, on the Internet?"

I caused my family history to be exposed on the Internet?  Funny, I don't remember posting that information to columbuzz.

"We would like it if he shut down his BLOGGER website and we will remove all information about him, you etc."

Who's we and why do you want my blog shut down so bad Jeremy?

"I know you being a woman of GOD, wouldn't want any negative things out there, but yet your husband consistently harasses this man."

Sounds like a threat to me.  Shut down your blog, or we'll write nasty things about you and your family.  And how exactly have I harassed Bob?  Have I sent email to his wife or called her?  No, and I even deleted any derogatory comments about his wife and sister on my blog.  How many people has Bob harassed?

"This isn't Godly and we are requesting the blog be deleted entirely. Thank you,"

Is columbuzz Godly, Jeremy?

"I think a suit may be filed for Libel, and or Defamation of Character unless it is removed, we both know if it's filed it will cause embarrassment to your family while being a financial burden."

Another threat.  I'll make you a deal, Jeremy.  You delete columbuzz and I'll delete my blog.

Mr. Inquisitive: Zero Credibilty

Mr. Inquisitive wrote on my blog:
 "we posted your information because people need to know who you are and what you do, the things you say etc."

Mr. Inquisitive, your statement would be much more credible if you hadn't posted my address, phone number, a link to a picture of my house, my email address, my wife's work email address, and pictures of my facebook friends.  And if you want people to know the things I say, why don't you post the link to my blog?  Sorry, but I call BS on this statement.

He also wrote:
"We looked through this post a little closer; the only thing we posted was what Google sent us and everything else were links to the White pages including Jeremy's computer screen along...."

And Joanna wrote on columbuzz:
"We have looked through this post a little closer; the only thing we posted was what Google sent us and everything else were links to the White pages including Jeremy's computer screen shots...."

So who's the author?  Let me know Mr. Inquisitive so I can give proper credit.

Jeremy Learned from the Master

Jeremy's email to my wife:

Subject: Are you prepared to be sued?
Are you aware you husband has been writing about someone he doesn't know on the Internet causing your entire family history to be exposed, on the Internet?

We would like it if he shut down his BLOGGER website and we will remove all information about him, you etc. I know you being a woman of GOD, wouldn't want any negative things out there, but yet your husband consistently harasses this man.

This isn't Godly and we are requesting the blog be deleted entirely. Thank you,

I think a suit may be filed for Libel, and or Defamation of Character unless it is removed, we both know if it's filed it will cause embarrassment to your family while being a financial burden.

We appreciate your help in this matter.

How long did it take?  9 months?  And the only reason he found out my identity is because I handed it to him.

Mr. Anon-o-Bobby-mous

http://www.columbuzz.net/index.php?news=6244

Mr. Anon-o-Bobby-mous wrote on columbuzz:
"We also have proof that you have been calling our advertisers and harassing them because they advertise with us."

Expressing your opinion is harassment?  Then I guess Bob is guilty of about a billion counts of harassment.

"Are we supposed to back off reporting on the fire department AND put up with harassment from fire department members like yourself AND keep our mouths shut about it? That isn't going to happen."

What about your harassment of pretty much everyone in the trustee office?

"You need to back off now or the real fun will begin. You don't want to play games with us because we can play well since we know who you are. It's your decision. Keep up your stupidity and we can play."

More lame threats from Bob.

"The big question now is do we start calling and harassing you since you have a banner ad on columbuzz? That only seems fair to me."

Sure Bob, that makes perfect sense, to lunatics.

"Try us. Keep up your crap. I wonder how much we could post about you and your life. It would all be true. Have you any skeletons in your closet Chris C.? Anyone in your life have any? We can dig, if you like."

Bob, you don't dig.  You don't investigate.  You just plop yourself in front of your computer and wait for the "anonymous" emails to trickle in.

New Columbuzz Advertiser

Let them know how you feel about them advertising on columbuzz:

Recycled Treasures Flea Market: 812-447-8943

Proof Positive that Jeremy is a Liar

Jeremy wrote on my blog:
"I have checked, nothing about claiming you are Chris, where was this posted claiming you're Chris. Chris contacted us to advertise for him so we are obliged to do so."

Response from Chris Chambers:
http://chriscphotography.com/word/?p=226

Bob: Expert Investigator

So I guess Bob now thinks I'm Chris Chambers.  He has told me many times in the past that he didn't care who I was, but I guess that was just another one of his many lies.  This is a perfect example of Bob's MO.  He has absolutely no evidence that I'm Chris, but that doesn't stop him from making ridiculous assumptions and ranting on HIS website about it.

Just for the record, Bob, I'm not Chris Chambers.

Bob is Still a Liar

http://www.columbuzz.net/index.php?news=6241

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"I do NOT Own Columbuzz.net....."

Sure Bob, whatever you say.

"Some people think I do own Columbuzz.net, but some people are stupid...."

If you're talking about people who use Walmart as a dead drop site and try to sell odometer tampering devices on the internet, then yes, I agree.  Those people ARE stupid.

"Some of our critics keep saying that I own columbuzz.net. I do not. I am on it a lot. I have admin powers to delete idiotic posts."

Lie.  You don't delete any of your idiotic posts.

"I didn't buy it. And I didn't sell it to Jeremy Kirtz, who I believe has his name on the domain name now. So now HE is the owner? Maybe. Who knows? Who cares?"

Why is Bob so evasive about who owns columbuzz?  Is he afraid of future lawsuits?  That would be fun to watch, Bob and Jeremy pointing fingers at each other when the lawyers come calling.

"The the idiots on the site set up just to cut down what I do on here, posted our logo without our permission. Google has since removed it. They say the following:
'Columbuzz logo that lists Bob Freeman and Jeremy Kirtz as owners of Columbuzz removed by Google pending an investigation.'"

That was a mistake on my part. What it should have said and what it says now:

Columbuzz logo that lists Bob Freeman and Jeremy Kirtz as owners of Columbuzz removed by Dude per Google's request pending an investigation. Counter claim from Dude has been submitted to Google.

"The logo is above. Does it say that Jeremy and I are the owners? I think not."

Then what exactly does the logo imply?  There are supposedly many people that "contribute" to columbuzz.  Why aren't they listed?  Why only you and Jeremy?
