Last night via PM with a member here I made the comment, "honestly, I don't understand how one man can have so many people who seem to despise him, especially on a website dedicated to ranching where the average poster is hard working, honest, self-sufficent, and would do anyting to help a neighbor".
Then this morning I see there are more posts added to the thread he started on me and I see this:
And this:
WTF? Is OT living in some sort of parallel universe?
OT, honestly, what have I ever done or said to make you think I'm some sort of dangerous criminal? Is it because I live abroad? There are hundreds of thousands of Americans living abroad. Are they all criminals?
This forum is dedicated to politics and in case you haven't figured it out yet, politics get rough. When discussing topics such as politics and religion, emotions often get out of hand and poeple say things they sometimes later regret. But having said that, in the years I've been here, I've never seen anything said that would make me say, "wow, that's crossing the line".
OT, as this last election just proved, millions upon millions of Americans are fed up with the direction the country is headed. And there are thousands and thousands of websites where the political discussion is far more spicy than what we have here. In fact, I suspect most of the off-color remarks made here are made not in anger, but are made just to watch your head explode.
I once believed that you were just a troll, stirring the pot and enjoying the results the followed. I later came to believe that you were just a classic self-important under-achiever who envied others more successful than himself.
OT, I don't say this in anger, and I don't say this because of your politics, but today I'm convinced that you have some serious psychological problems. You might want to keep that in mind as you send out all those packets and contact those federal agencies about all the bad guys lurking around you.
I was kidding when I said you might end up on someone's watch list, but now ya got me wondering old man. Stranger things have happened.
Then this morning I see there are more posts added to the thread he started on me and I see this:
Oldtimer said:I have some info on the person who claims to be WW from when he talked to me on the phone and I did not print that either...But I realize all info on criminal activity isn't perfect- and especially when dealing with drugs often comes from disgruntled co-conspirators/anonymous informants...
And this:
Oldtimer said:You guys laugh- but don't realize that with your joke- you just brought down more law enforcement/authority scrutiny on the web site...
I know that groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and some Federal law enforcement agencies were aware of and already monitoring this site- especially after the earlier assassination talk and then especially later during/after the Bundy affair and implied threats and hate talk toward Federal Officers -- but since when I forwarded the info I included my view of the makeup of the posters that dominate the PB site- now the Miami division of the DEA and the US Marshal's Felon Apprehension Task Force have been alerted to another site that is heavily made up of by white supremacists, anti- law enforcement- anti- all government right wing extremists... And it won't take them viewing but a couple of threads and they will know I am right....
