Characteristics of Abusive People

I believe this also applies to verbally abusive people as well:

Abusive People frequently have the following characteristics:

  • Often blow up in anger at small incidents, often easily insulted, claiming hurt feelings when really very angry.
  • Have a poor self-image; are insecure.
  • Blame others for their own problems.
  • Blame others for their own feelings and are very manipulative. An abusive person will often say "you make me mad", "you’re hurting me by not doing what I ask", or "I can’t help being angry".
  • Often are alcohol or drug abusers.
  • May have a family history of violence.
  • May be cruel to animals and/or children. 
  • May have a fascination with weapons.
  • May think it is okay to solve conflicts with violence.
  • Often make threats of violence, breaking or striking objects.
  • Often use verbal threats such as, "I’ll slap your mouth off", "I’ll kill you", or "I’ll break your neck". Abusers may try to excuse this behaviour by saying, "everybody talks like that". 
  • May hold rigid stereotypical views of the roles of men and women.
  • Are very controlling of others.
  • May say things that are intentionally cruel and hurtful in order to degrade, humiliate, or run down the victim.
  • Tend to be moody and unpredictable. They may be nice one minute and the next minute explosive.

Top Ten Lies From Bob Freeman

10. "He (the police officer) agreed that crap on (Dude's) website was bringing about my posting of the information I have posted and that the best solution for her would be to get her husband to stop his nonsense."

Bob vs Bob 23.0

Bob #1:
"I think it's time to stop worrying about the idiots that attack us. We can't stop them from calling ... our advertisers. We can't stop them from being stupid on their website. So we'll stop trying. The good part about all of this is, most of our troublemakers gather at that site. And it is an easy site to ignore."

Bob #2:
"they stop their bullshit and we stop ours, but not until then. That means their website is shut down and the calls to our advertisers cease. Until then, we post everything we can find."

Breaking News: Bob Insults Hispanics on Columbuzz

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"No Lisa, that's not what we're saying at all. Now read this slowly so you absorb it all. We said, some troublemakers are calling our advertisers and threatening to boycott them if they don't pull their FREE ad from our website. Most of those troublemakers are either related to the trustee or work for him at the fire station. A fireman from Columbus Township Fire Department made such calls to at leastone advertiser. That advertiser had caller ID and Chris has admitted to calling the one advertisers. The theme of their harrassing calls is that we post unsuitable material. And that's their right to think that and to say that. And it's our right to think and say the same. Last year, people were upset when they thought I couldn't prove what I said. I could but they didn't think so. They want proof. Here is proof of what we said. And I'm far from being a delicate flower. In summary, they stop their bullshit and we stop ours, but not until then. That means their website is shut down and the calls to our advertisers cease. Until then, we post everything we can find.

And in case you didn't understand that:

Ningún Lisa, eso no es lo que decimos en todo.

Ahora lea este lentamente tan usted lo absorbe todo.

Dijimos, algunos alborotadores llaman a nuestros anunciantes y amenazan a boicotearlos si ellos no tiran su anuncio LIBRE de nuestro sitio web.

Un bombero del Cuerpo de bomberos de Municipio de Columbus hizo tales llamadas a en el anunciante del leastone. Ese anunciante tuvo a persona que llama identificación y Chris ha confesado llamar los un anunciantes.

El tema de sus llamadas de harrassing es que anunciamos material inapropiado."

Bob's Shenanigans

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"I think it's time to stop worrying about the idiots that attack us."

I just love it when Bob calls other people idiots.  This from a man who posts a picture of an "anus" next to a restaurant ad.  What a genius.  By the way, why the sudden change in official columbuzz policy?

"We can't stop them from calling ... our advertisers."

Duh!

"We can't stop them from being stupid on their website. So we'll stop trying."

This from a man who can't keep advertisers who pay nothing from leaving his site.

"Some of our advertisers actually enjoy telling them to go fly a kite when they call. So we'll keep putting the ads on."

I'm sure some of your advertisers are bots.

"Most of the advertisers they harrass will see that the harrassers are twisting things around."

I don't think so Bob.  And who's twisting things around by calling legitimate complaints to advertisers harassment?  Why don't you call the owner of Zwanzigz's and ask him if he thinks he was harassed?  Ask him if he thinks things were twisted around?  But that's not your MO.  You don't investigate, you just believe what you want to believe.

"The good part about all of this is, most of our troublemakers gather at that site. And it is an easy site to ignore."

You can't ignore it Bob.  You're on my site several times a day.

"The bad part is, our trustee and his fire chief signed an agreement. So now the troublemakers include some of his firemen and relatives. So the trouble is being caused by proxy now. Oh well."

I didn't sign anything.

"We can take it."

You have proven repeatedly that you can dish it out but can't take it.

"We have been attacked by much better people than these idiots."

I doubt that, but if it makes you feel better.

"In the meantime, we are getting new information and discovering new shenanigans by some of these same idiots. We will report on all of it as soon as we get it and confirm the facts of what we report."

What happened?!?  Did someone park illegally again?  And how exactly do you confirm the facts, Bob?

Bella Pizza Company










If I were the owner/operator of Bella Pizza Company, I don't think I would be too happy about ad placement on columbuzz.

Clueless Bob

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"He agreed that crap on Mark's website was bringing about my posting of the information I have posted and that the best solution for her would be to get her husband to stop his nonsense."

Bob, are you fibbing again or are you just delusional?  Did you also tell him that you have never posted to my site?

"So, again I say, back off, and we back off. Keep up the bullshit, and we continue our postings. It's really that simple Mrs. Dude."

That's just more material to put in the police file, thanks.  By the way, I've made my offer. I delete mine, you delete yours.

"P.S. A police officer calling someone out of state and asking them to stop doing ANYTHING isn't legal notice, it isn't a restraing order. And oddly, it didn't put a scare in me like you hoped it would. It only makes me want to post more about you. Now where did I put that picture of your house?"

That may be true, at least not yet.  This is just the first step in the process.  Depending on you, there could be more to come.

Ironic Bob

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"Maybe you're right Jason. Maybe posting the boys picture was wrong. I took it off."

Maybe!?! You not only posted his picture but you also insulted him. Time for Bob to backpedal.

"You see what goes on at that website. Their attacks are relentless. I'm expected to sit back and keep quiet while another jerk attacks and allows nimrods to do what they do to me and this website? I don't think so!"

Ironic. Bob can relentlessly attack anyone he pleases, but he and his website should be off limits? If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

"They want facts. They will get facts. Every fact I can find about them will be posted. Mark Cutshaw is Fred's nephew. These aren't attacks, they are facts."

Kind of boring facts, don't you think?

"They back off and I back off. They keep up the bullshit and I go into high gear."

You're not already in high gear? What's next, are you going to post my cat's name?

"Fred Barkes and his group of people appear to think they can do whatever the hell they like. I'm not a client of theirs. I'm not on the fire department. They don't control me. He is an elected official and I have the right to post facts and opinions about his activity."

Yes you do have that right. Just stick to facts and opinions.

"We agreed not to talk about the lawsuit and I'm told by several people that his fire chief is telling everyone about it. His nephew and his butthole buddies are talking about things they wouldn't know if some idiot hadn't run his mouth."

Again, Bob, I have no idea what the agreement was, but the standard in cases like yours is to stop the attacks.

"It's a 2 way street. They abide by the 'truce' as they expect me to, or neither of us abide by any agreement. It's their call. And as long as he keeps his crap up, it won't ever stop."

Sorry Bob, but I was not a party to that agreement.

"Time to stop talking about it. It's up to them. Close the website down and shut their mouths, or I see just how much I can find to post about anyone who is related to or friends with this so-called trustee."

But Bob, you wrote "I have the right to post facts and opinions about his activity." Does that only apply to you or does it also apply to me? I can't post facts and opinions about your activity? I'll make you a deal Bob. You close your site down, I'll close mine down.

By the way, Bob, are you familiar with this Indiana law?

IC 35-45-2-1
Intimidation
35-45-2-1 Sec. 1. (a) A person who communicates a threat to another person, with the intent:
(1) that the other person engage in conduct against the other person's will;
or
(2) that the other person be placed in fear of retaliation for a prior lawful act;
commits intimidation, a Class A misdemeanor.

(c) "Threat" means an expression, by words or action, of an intention to:
(6) expose the person threatened to hatred, contempt, disgrace, or ridicule;
or
(7) falsely harm the credit or business reputation of the person threatened;

Jason Vest FINALLY Speaks

Jason Vest wrote on columbuzz:
"I am a believer in your right to state your opinion of elected public officials. I've told you that I've been critical of the practices of Fred Barkes and the Columbus Township Fire Department."

And I have absolutely no problem with that.

"However, I am equally as critical of your use of a photo of Mark's child and the personal attacks against Fred and his wife."

Amen!

"Although I may disagree with what Mark Cutshaw has allowed on his website, including unfair, critical statements regarding my business, STAT Ambulance, I do not condone personal attacks whatsoever."

Jason, my blog is mostly an open forum and Bob has also allowed unfair and critical statements. The difference is that I don't delete comments that are critical of me.

"When you ran for Trustee, I was supportive of your campaign. At some point, you began personally attacking Fred Barkes and his wife, Sandra. At that point, I expressed my disappointment. When the election ended, I met with Fred and apologized. I sincerely felt bad for my involvement. Politics should never reach that level in my opinion."

Amen!

"I'm not sure that Fred accepted my apology. Based on the constant attacks from his nephew, Mark Cutshaw, I don't believe he did. Fred's nephew has consistently allowed attacks on myself and my business."

Jason, open forum. Why should you get special treatment? Just because I allow the comments does not mean I agree with them. Everyone loves an open forum until someone starts criticizing them. Then they want special treatment and censorship. You can't have it both ways. But you will see no more criticism of you or your business from me.

"Regardless of such, I remain truly apologetic to Fred for the personal nature that transpired during the election. I wish you (Bob) would have not taken that path."

Amen!

"I have seen extremely personal attacks on myself and my business on Mr. Cutshaw's website. I have chosen not to respond to them. What he does is juvenile and hypocritical."

Jason, open forum.

Bob the Cyberbully

Bob spewed on columbuzz:
"It seems we have upset Dude's wife."

Trust me Bob, not a good plan.

"She doesn't feel we should post a picture here of her son. A picture that was in public display on Facebook. A picture of a blood relative of a local elected official."

And his picture is relevant how?

"His great uncle is our trustee."

Your point? Are you going to attack my cat next?

"The picture was in a public place. It's still in a public place. His name isn't Opie? I will delete that..."

Gee, thanks Bob. You're a real humanitarian.

"But your stupid husband can run an entire website attacking me and what we do here at Columbuzz,net? His right. It's my right to post facts about Fred barkes and his family. Don't like it? Too bad!"

Depends on the context, Bob. Do you remember your post attacking Charlie Townsend? I do.

"We would gladly forget you even exist, if he closes his website and stops attacking me and this website."

Why do you care so much about my blog? According to you, nobody reads it anyway.

"And if he backs off, we back off. Until then, those all important facts they demand on what we say will keep getting posted."

Facts like my family tree? Who is demanding that information?

"Oh, I think the Township Trustee has three sisters. One is your mother in law? Let's introduce them next...."

Wow, you're going to start picking on senior citizens too?

"And Mrs. Dude, you can keep your threats. Threatening me will only make matters worse."

And another threat from Bob.

"Talk to his uncle about stopping this craziness. Not me."

No Bob, you need to stop YOUR craziness.

"Agreements take two. Stop him and you stop us. Got it?"

Be a man Bob and attack me, not my family.

Bob is Wrong Again

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"About as important as Fred Barkes' nephew doing Fred's dirty work breaking an agreement that he signed."

I have no idea what Bob is talking about here.  If he is implying that I know what the agreement was, then he's wrong, AGAIN.  I have no idea what it was.

"Some have wives that work at Christian Schools."

Bob sounds like a real man, involving my wife and son in our dispute.

Bob #2:
"But now it will be decided in court."

"Now I have to go to court to prove my opinion."

"I can prove every word I said, about my opponent in the race and lawsuit"

"Truth pertaining to the suit will come out in court."

"We post NOTHING that isn't true and we can't prove. You'll see. They want to air this in court, then let's air it ALL in court."

"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."

"If you know a Barkes or a Ferrenburg, get ready to be subpeonaed. It will take everyone to get this truth out."

"These people will live to regret this attack on me and my right of freedom of speech and opinion."

"They think they will win. I think I will have evidence that will make them wish they hadn't started this BS."

"Accusing you of a crime. Have I? Calling you a crook means I think you're crooked. I have been told many reasons that make me think you're crooked. We can discuss those in the courtroom I guess."

"I have a feeling this will be quite a court battle and I want to be prepared."

"In fact, this will help get the facts out. Files will be requested with the evidence we need. The entire township will see just what we have been saying and they will know what I have posted is true. My attorney will know what to look for."

"I stand by, and I can prove, EVERY single word that I have written as fact about these four. And, if need be, I will prove them, in a court of law."
