Truth in itself is not dangerous nor is it destructive or vindictive. What is dangerous is the manipulative mode of one's chosen form of utilization and application of a particular interpretation of it with the sole intent of utter destruction. If I were "you people", I'd be a tad bit leary -- the Universe has a way of sneaking up behind you when you least expect it and justifiably kicking you in the ass. PS, I think you need to do some research on some definitions in the dictionary! Truth, destructive, vindictive, manipulative, interpretation, factual, and utter!

If we're playing 20 questions, here are my thougts:
In general, this is all none of my business. As long as it doesn't affect the performance on the job, I just don't care. There are only two people whose choice of partners matters to me and I'm pretty sure your "general person" isn't one of the two.
What does bother me are attempts to smear and discredit someone through rumor and innuendo. I see a real problem with that.
PS, question 1 is either poorly worded or has a typo, question 3 isn't a question at all, the use of pronouns in question 4 makes the meaning unclear, and the sentence that begins, "Again these are" could use some work.

Tell me that you have never encountered anyone who was in a so-so relationship that got involved with someone else which turned into a great relationship. It happens every day - should we shoot them? Don't want to be a cheater? Its a simple fix. End the previous failing relationship BEFORE beginning the new one. I despise people who use relationship troubles as an excuse for cheating.

Or research polygamy/open relationships and change your relationship that way. Either way, talk to your current relationship partner before.

"I am not a crook."
"Read my lips, no new taxes."
Both of these affected me far more than yet another partner choice that I don't care about.

Keep the personal attacks off. I realize that some forum users goof on each-other in fun and that's one thing, but keep the direct attacks (slander) off the boards. These are your neighbors...be nice!

Rich Fisher...........It it's not true that's one thing, but if it's true the citizens of this county should be made aware. Why = If it's true there are criminal violations involved. If it's true out tax dollars are being used illegally. This is the 4th of July in the greatest country the world has ever seen. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS A TOOL TO KEEP US FREE. It the person in question has nothing to hide I'm sure you won't stop their post. God bless America.

There is a way to deal with a person or people that you are in disagreement with without slander. Here is a good example - and this is something that I am dealing with right now that is literally tearing at me like you can't even imagine...
I own this website. There are between 200 and 300 people reading this forum daily. I also am on the air at two big radio stations. One has over 400,000 people tuned in at all times, the other around 240,000 people at all times. Those people are all in Maryland and are from all walks of life. My wife is having a big problem with the administration of a particular local school and with the QA County Board of Education where they are harassing her and there is one person in particular who is seriously jeopardizing her career and being outright horrible to her, and the local taxpayers are paying that persons salary. Now, with two big radio stations as my sounding board and this website, I could absolutely bury this individual, and cast a strong negative shadow on the QA County School system, and particularly one local school. As much as I want to unleash everything that I can - I'm not doing so. A lot of what I have to say, while completely true, would probably come across as just angry. There are proper channels to go through to get things corrected. In my case it's my connections with the higher-ups within education on a federal level that will help me out. In your case it's supporting candidates and doing the leg work to get them elected. The public forums, whether on the web, radio, TV, newspapers, etc., can be used to count-pointer count and push for change, but not to slander. It will only make your case seem comical to the people who you are trying to sway. I would love to go on the radio Monday morning during drivetime (which is when I will be on) and completely lay out everything that is going on with the BOE here and a specific persons mistreatment of my wife, but I will only come off as bitter and not taken seriously.
While I may or may not agree with your views on who you are going against, understand that I am having a similar fight with someone who is a huge blight on our community. I am just working from within to oust my monster. I hope that you get my point.

Now I am confused. Why was it OK for the Sheriff supporters to write this, in part, on September 23 of 2008?
" or the Rhodes boys who have many women under their belts. Yeah, that will be the first thing that comes out if and when they ever run. There is a list of harassment charges that were never brought out at the last election but the women vow to never let any of them hold a public office.
Or maybe its one of the user's who sits around her house with her hubby and pops pain pills all day. Living off the Counties money for injuries that are fabricated."

That is not ok - It will be deleted as will your post because you quoted it if you want. Tell me which thread it is in and I will delete it. In most cases I delete posts and threads when people Email me or "PM" me to let me know about them.

I do agree with Pete. If it is true then the citizens should be made aware. People need to recognize that the actions they take could harm their careers. Also I thought that if it was true then it wasn't slander. And, yes, Freedom of Speech is a wonderful thing!
Dee Lightful - GREAT catch on that post!!!!!!

It's pretty sad that some of you do not respect our webmaster, and what he has suggested. Find another place to place your complaints. Bay Times, a bogus site, where ever, but not here. I can't speak for other members here, but I am fed up with all of your whining. How many of you have multiple personalities, or names? Sorry fellow regular members... when we had guests, we never fed the "TROLLS". But I have had enough of the bickering. I'd like to see their resumes and see what their peers think of these nasty ugly posting people. I guess I fed them a buffet this evening. Smite away. Frankly my dears I don't give a d**n. -CG -Frankly I am very happy with our Sheriff, and I'm going to vote for him again. Especially what I have read. Honestly who would want to jump on a bandwagon of negative , whining people, who have nothing better in their lives to do.

Since you quoted my post....
I am not sure where you saw any whining in my post?
I agreed with what Pete said before. I'm sorry - I thought I was allowed to agree with something another member said. Please accept my deepest apologies.
I commended Dee Lightful on the catching of that other post that said something horrible about another fellow member and that member's husband. I'm sorry - I thought I was allowed to commend or praise another member. Since I have apparently offended you greatly, please accept my deepest apologies.

My mistake for quoting you. I do not agree with Pete, and did not have time to go back to the beginning. I changed my post to protect the innocent. Just tired of reading about all of the negative postings about our GREAT Sheriff. -CG

Since I was ignored on this topic yet again - it is locked. What is so hard to understand about not attacking others? If it is not a proven fact, it is slander. The rules are clear on this and those rules aren't even mine - they are from the server that hosts this forum - "proboards.com". When you signed up here, you agreed not to slander on here. Bringing in non-political rants and mentioning family members, etc goes way over the line.
