I'm not Fred but I'm also not amused by adolescent neener neeners.

#2 I've got a better idea. How about doing something meaningful and taking time out to say a prayer for the families that lost 4 young soldiers (possibly more if they die from injuries) today in Afghanistan. It will hit the news later today. Just a thought.

#3 Yeah, insulting moderators isn't the best course of action. Leads to permabans.

#4 Dr. Steve or any available MOD. Please delete all of my above comments and forgive my frustration. Thanks, Besoeker.

#5 Besoeker -- I deleted the duplicates. I saw the news and understand your frustration. Damn. My prayers for the families.

#6 Thank you for the heads up, Besoeker. Damn, indeed. They gave their lives to keep the battle far from home -- may that thought bring some comfort to those who loved them, as they are in the thoughts and prayers of the many here and elsewhere who are grateful for their courage and honor.

In case it is of interest, it wasn't Steve White who trolled wr - it was me. Or rather, wr chose to troll and I noted that fact.

#10 You prolly won't get to read this before you are banned, but I wanted to tell you anyway.

I posted links to those two pages because I thought your time would be better served giving them an earful and telling them to perform an act of dubious legality, than it would be at Rantburg trying to tell us.

That is why I fail to understand your anger at Rantburg. You went outside our rules.

So, nut up and take your lumps like a man.

#11 Civil discourse? Here? You have to be kidding?

No more slanging, bully ragging or name calling?

What about insults and veiled allusions to manliness?

All kidding aside, I agree with this. We may be a bunch of smart alecks but we can be adults (wow what a concept mature behavior) and discuss the issues without dropping down to liberal smears and democratic name calling when the facts defeat us.

#12 The person YOU called “f*cking stupid” (talk about your statement “Let’s keep it civil”) is a person who established a communication’s relationship with the attorney defending Texas Ft Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. And who TRIED to post the first meaning full response here that he got from Nidal’s attorney about the White House’s stalling on the Court Marshall. But, you did not post that information so it was sent to another blogger who started an internet buzz with that information in the effort to get justice for the families of our murdered troops.

Moderators saw the inforamtion, discussed it and determined that if the infromation was true, it was unethical for a member of anyone in the court to be leaking information , especially the press during a trial. That was those of us who thought the information was genuine.

I did not think it was.

Inasmuch as it turned out to be genuine, it didn't take anything anyway from the point that anyone within that court should be leaking information to the press. It turned out the decision to bypass the information was the correct one.

As I recall Pamela Geller was the person who picked up on it, but for all the "buzz", as you called it, it turned out to be a lot of agenda building, as we originally suspected. Your "buzz" dissipated rather quickly, as I recall.

Didn't it?

I do agree that Mrs. Geller was absolutely the one who should have gotten to information and run with it. She'll do anything for a few additional page views.

Before you jump on anything I have written so far, let me say I think that murdering sunuvabitch Major Hassan should get a fair trial, and should be put to death.

That said, I think those whole episode is a matter of agenda building, just like the Major Hassan thing. The only thing I was trying to do is to let you know you can't get a buncha people in a forum to do your dirty work for you.

You should be prepared to do it yourself, so you can enjoy tyhe consequences later on, say in five to ten.

#13 And another thing:

And who TRIED to post the first meaning full response here that he got from Nidal's attorney about the White House's stalling on the Court Marshall

Obama is the commander in chief. If he decides to delay the trial while he tries out the kinks at Augusta and Pebble Beach, he can pretty much do as he wants, including pardon Major Hassan. For better for worse, he is the boss.

Where's the news in that?

#14 Yeah, insulting moderators isn't the best course of action. Leads to permabans.

Or SEALS showing up in your living room and shooting you in the face. Rumor has it that bin Laden was making himself a nuisance on a furry website (if you don't know what that is, you don't want to know!) and certain high-up individuals in the current administration decided to pull the trigger on him. So to speak.
