Bob vs. Jeremy 3.0

Bob: "I am not Brick Layer and I don't believe Paula is Spiderman. The IP address says she isn't."

Jeremy, the liar: "We aren't singling anyone person out. We didn't know it was her, and behind the scenes here doesn't show clearly who posts."

Jeremy is a Moron

Jeremy wrote on columbuzz:
"It's 'Half-Truths' at best, but 'Gossip' all the way... Who cares? Those affected do, because no one wants their secrets or things they do posted all over the internet."

Again, Jeremy seems to believe all gossip is true.

"Should someone prove a statement is a lie? I don't know"

Jeremy, you are truly a moron.  How exactly do you prove a statement is a lie?  For example, I could claim that you cheat on your taxes.  Now prove that you don't.

"but if you know it is a lie, why not correct the information so people get the truth?"

So let me get this straight, Jeremy.  You think it's OK to post any rumor or gossip on columbuzz since people can correct the information?  Of course we all know this is a lie, but let's assume it's true for the moment.  So you expect people, who may not know that columbuzz even exists, to take time out of their busy day, go to a tabloid web site run by immature morons, and correct the information?  Sure, sounds reasonable.

Paula Sees The Light

Paula wrote on columbuzz:
"As you say, this is not a news site, as in REAL news, but rather GOSSIP"

"When did this site ordain itself to expose private lives of others? Your claim of 'but Columbuzz keeping your info private is important,' I don't recall EVER stating I had an ostomy, until Joanna brought it to the readers."

"AND, one time I tried to use a different name, only to be called out by an ADMIN making it quite obvious that I was using a different name."

"Your motto is very deceiving. Yes you can post, but if it ires the admins, it won't get out there, or if something makes the admins look bad, as in editing a story. Speaking of stories, you CLAIM you have NEVER received any requests to be removed is a BLATANT LIE. I KNOW Misty requested the story of her cousin's death was ignored by her, and by myself for the very insensitive story you posted. Only after several comments did you remove it; after the damage was already done. That was the worst article I've ever seen."

"I KNOW for a fact that one admin admitted to me, they have used several names, just to keep things going. And funny, anytime I TRY and not use a name, I get called on, while I see other 'no namers.'"

"You give out the heat; but you can't HANDLE it, when it comes YOUR way."

"Don't make the claim you post all things, because you don't. You admins hate a challenge"

Grow Up Columbus Man

Comments from Columbus Man's facebook page:
"This story is entirely untrue I was a nurse on the scene. If you were not there and do not know what happenned then you should check your information before you post this as news. What happens when her children see this crap everyone shoild be ashamed of themselves"

"Excuse me?!? The only reason we aren't giving Columbus man a last name is because of the HIPPA law. We could lose our jobs over it!!!! And he's not even a REAL news reporter so he doesn't even have the RIGHT to know. You people do not know what her home life was like nor do you know how silver oaks is ran. Have you ever been inside?!?!? It's the best damn nursing home I've ever been in! And for the nurses that steal meds, they get caught and and fired. So no, the residents are not dealing with that. Why don't you all keep your big fat mouths shut and pray for her family. Her daughter is getting ready to graduate and she will not have her mommy to cheer her on! So please have some respect. How would you like it if this was YOUR family member and people were lying and making rumors about her and her work. SMH."

"This is the seventh or 8th post you've had.. It's not news, it's tragedy.. Grow up Columbus man, we all know who you are so quit hiding behind the name.. I'm really hoping her children arent seeing this filth! My Co-workers and I aren't feeding to the fire by letting you know information for one because it's the law and we could lose our licenses, and for two, you're a loser who can't get any information or truth about stories!! Just wait an be patient, you'll read it all on the republic ;) where the real reporters are who don't gossip and post unreal stories or opinions and not facts.." 

Columbus Man vs. Columbus Man 1.0

Columbus Man #1:
"They caught him the sick freak... xxxx xxxxxxx, 17, Commiskey, rape, child molesting and criminal confinement."

Bob:
"We know he's guilty already?"

Columbus Man #2:
"Lol who knows but that's what he was arrested for."

Columbus Man Needs a Conscience

Someone wrote on Columbus Man's facebook wall regarding the request for information about Gary Myers: "Details would be nice to know "

Columbus Man: "I hope they come..."

So Jeremy/Columbus Man hopes that he receives dirt about a respected member of law enforcement and the community?  Shouldn't he hope that he doesn't receive any dirt on Mr. Myers?  What is his motivation anyway?  To get more traffic for his tabloid website?  To make more money from Google ads?  Is his self esteem tied to the number of visits to columbuzz?  Or does he just get a kick out of trashing people on a public website?

Yay Misty 2.0!

Misty wrote on columbuzz:
ATTENTION: Anyone who uses columbuzz just wanted you to know if you post and want to remain anonymous with the current administrator, Joanna she has already shown she will not keep posts anonymous. I will no longer be posting or reading anything on columbuzz. I also would not feel comfortable after what I read tonight to share any information or tips to columbuzz again.

Breaking News

Bob Freeman Resigns From Columbuzz

Not sure if this is a good or a bad sign.

Hypocritical Much?

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"You're guessing and assuming the wrong things and you attack them because of what you wrongly perceive.  You are wrong, you are wrong, you are wrong."

Um, Bob, you do this all the time.  Hypocritical much?

"I simply asked people not to attack my friends. That's 'making a mess'of this website?"

What if someone wants to blow the whistle on one of your friends?  Are all of your friends perfect?  I guess they get a free pass from you no matter what they do.  And yes, columbuzz is a mess because of you, Jeremy, and Joanna.

"I am sick and tired of having this conversation over and over with you. DROP IT OR I START DELETING YOUR COMMENTS.... UNDERSTAND? Your demand to keep running your mouth because of your freedom of speech is really getting under my skin and is interfering with my right to help protect victims of a jerk people call a doctor. This is my last word on attacking the victims. Any further discussion about how wrong it is or how bad they are will be deleted.  Try me!"

The all powerful, narcissistic, megalomaniac Oz Freeman has spoken!

"It isn't an inability to keep my personal feelings in check."

Yes it is.

Mellisa Moore Really Gets It

Melissa wrote on columbuzz:
Don't you yourself like to push the limits?? I am a pusher too if it is something that requires a little prodding. I understand that and I do not criticize you or anyone else that does so on here either. It is funny though that you judge so easily those in power and criticize them for not following the path that they are supposed to..or should..or the path of so called Righteousness but yet here you are using your so called power (Delete) button as you deem fit while this site is not just yours to use as you like, or to shove your perspective down the throats of others. The readers..the public.. and the writers should feel free to read what they want, how much of it or not. Basically in a nut shell you are pushing this site to be no better than the Republic, as they too (as you have said so before in so many words) only print what the powers that be think the public should hear and read about. They do not print everything and let the public have their choice or own opinion. So by the time you are through...this will be the new Republic news site. Again JMO..But I believe that is also the opinions of others... The important news, stories, opinions and articles should not be chosen for everyone by you and your delete button

Yay Paula!

Paula wrote on columbuzz:
SOOO Joanna has anger problems?? Is it more fitting to say she "Yelled" at me, and even a poster picked up on how terrible it was for her outburst. She was obviously hoping to embarrass me, bring up my ostomy, and the nonsense of "I must have done something to get this," is so far out there. For newcomers, who don't know me, she shared info that could have been considered "private" info, but I have been opened about crohn's b4, but was unaware I shared that I had a purse. Did you tell her Bob??? She did the very same thing you have accused young of....good thing I don't care if people know I have an ostomy...and it's my third one. but I surely don't remember mentioning I have an ostomy. I am the victim here.

I don't post crap. some of things that have been deleted: a silly joke to Rex, : thanking you and Rex when joanna was so verbal with me...I just envisioned a child throwing a tantrum, commonly called a meltdown. If your peeps want to post something, make it accurate. joanna doesn't have a clue about crohns, which was most evident in her post.

I know this isn't the PJ tabloid, I don't post crap bob...if anyone posts something that hits a nerve with anyone w this site, it's deleted. Others have had the same thing happen. I'm not the only one who has noticed what this site does. Melissa and BL have been on it too. but they aren't called out. Melissa is more delicate in what she says, I cut to the chase. She noticed a post w no name, and I have often pointed out the same thing. Shoot, it even says "no blank names." I'm sorry constructive criticism disturbs you so much.

I know I'm a colourful poster, and maybe others would like to see what I write....don't speak for others on here. As BL pointed out somewhere, it's this "narcissistic megalomaniac" attitude that is very "transparent" as p101 would say.

You don't care who's toes you step on, to get a story....I know my toes were clipped by joanna, but I consider who it was. I can't believe jeremy goes along with this way to run a "free speech" site....

Bob vs. Facts

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"<Dude>, nephew to Columbus Township Trustee Fred Barkes and his wife Sandy, and a few of <the readers of his blog>, seem to enjoy knocking every word I say."

That's because you constantly contradict yourself, sometimes within minutes.  Melissa and Paula both see it and I'm sure most people see it too, but you act like it doesn't happen.

"Reporting on the antics of the trustee seemed to bother them."

You mean lying about the supposed antics of the trustee seemed to bother me.

"They accuse me of not getting facts, while they defend Fred no matter what he does."

I didn't just accuse you of not getting facts, I proved that you don't get facts and that you're a liar.  And you bash Fred and his family no matter what he does.

Jeremy:
"Expression for Everyone"

"Columbuzz was started with the idea to expose or freely express how you feel without censorship. It seems people want to express their opinions but without the worry of being judged by their peers."

"Read an article, decide if you want to comment, then just below the article will be an area for your opinion. Our only request is you use a name, fictional or non fictional for your response"

Melissa Moore Gets It

Melissa Moore wrote on columbuzz:
"Wow! First of all this site has never just stood up for what was right otherwise half the stuff that is posted on here wouldn't be posted! If we are talking about what is right that is..morally right...!

Yes in my opinion we should not attack the victims..BUT people should not be attacked at all yet this site consistently has allowed that until this instance. So you have completely contradicted yourself and the view this site has portrayed to it's readers day in and day out since its creation.

Furthermore I have no knowledge of these women or the doctor so I obviously have nothing to attack the victims for, however there are always two sides to each story and while these may be true victims in this case no one will never know both sides because you have made it so that anything from the other side will not be brought to lite If there was any I do not know, however I know people will not see it..

I know that if there is any chance that the doctor is being falsely accused (I have no idea if he is or not), it won't come to light here because this site gets emotionally involved with their stories .

Now saying that I think if they are true victims it is great they have a friend to go to. But from a readers point..this is obviously NOT the site that has been in the passed and judging from response others seem to agree so good luck to you all in your new stance."

"So I see brick Layers comments were deleted..not sure why as I didn't see any comments against the women?"

Ends Justify the Means

"ADMIN" wrote on columbuzz:
"All articles are factual."

Just like the article about the fireman dying and all of the articles claiming Fred Barkes is a criminal.  Why would anyone believe anything posted on columbuzz?

"We have a major problem still walking around this town, acting like he did nothing wrong..."

Yes, and his name is Bob Freeman.

"He must be stopped. He WILL be stopped."

We can only hope that Bob WILL be stopped soon.

"If our methods offend you, too bad. I'm sure you would join right in if you or a relative were a victim of his."
 
In other words, the ends justify the means.  We don't care that we use scorched earth tactics.  We don't care about possibly hurting the innocent children of the "evildoers".

Columbuzz Feedback

Columbuzz:
"Thank you for your feedback we are working on improving."

They've been working on improving for years now.  It's not happening.  They still have immature children running the website.

Yay Misty!

Misty wrote on Columbus Man's facebook page:
"When life is fair we will all be millionaires. If he has 400 acres there is no way the whole property is closed off. Why even bother writing crap when later the story will change. If you decide you like him later then you will say he never done anything wrong. I know other stories that a lot of people researched for a long time and now oops sorry not a cult after all that's sh*t and everyone knows it!! How many PEOPLE did Milestone hurt, we will never know and now people think there was never a cult so it can happen again so why worry about Tony Stewart killing deer?"

Bob Just Doesn't Get It

"It makes people think all you want to do is cause trouble.  And we do, for the bad guys with the secrets."

On columbuzz, who decides who the bad guys are?  Bob and Jeremy, two of the worst bad guys.

"What bothers me is the fact that everyone concentrates on the small percentage we MAY be wrong about and they look over the majority that we were right about."

Let's assume for the moment that Bob's fantasy-land is reality and that this statement is true. Suppose that Bob is attacking someone on columbuzz and he makes the following four claims about him:

1. He advertised an odometer tampering device for sale on the internet.
2. He used Walmart as a dead drop site in an attempt to buy false information.
3. He acts like a cyber bully on the internet.
4. He is a child molester.

Now suppose that the first three are true but the last one isn't true.  Since three out of the four are true (75%), Bob was right about the majority of the claims and he was wrong about a small percentage of them (25%).  So which group of statements is the most damaging?  The three true ones or the one false one?

"To me, a cult was a group of zombie-like people who worship their human leader no matter what he did."

Sounds like Bob and his bots.
