No one has been slandered on this forum more than me, but then again I don't buy advertising on KIO.......Now that the thread on the un-named law man has been shut down I will tell you this. Instead of citizens venting on KIO they are writing letters to the authorities on the subject. Had the thread not been locked the letters would probably not been sent, and WBAL TV Chn. 11 would not be interested with the information. Thank you Rich Fisher for the votes you are generating for me.......If there were slanderous remarks the the damaged party can take legal action. However, if it's true they better not seek damages.............There is something about censorship in a democratic society that just doesn't smell right. What do you think my friends?

newspapers do not publish unsubstantiated, unchecked comments by every tom, thingy, and harry, and do not print slanderous/libelous remarks. as rick said, the host of this site follows the same rules. you are not being prevented from saying whatever you want to say--you only cannot say them here, or any principled, responsible place. do you think a "damaged party" would sue only you? they could sue you, the site host, rich, etc. is this what you want? do you really think your actions and remarks are generating votes? not much of a law-abiding person, are you, for someone so concerned with the law.
if people are indeed contacting the media, then that is appropriate, and these allegations can be investigated.

I don't agree with the government's right to censor you, but that has nothing to do with this case. If this were a county run website, the story might be different.
Say I own a website or forum, or lets make it even simpler, say you post a comment on my myspace/facebook/twitter (if I had one) that I don't approve of. I'm going to censor it with that big ole' "remove comment" button. I support my right to do so. I don't have to honor your 1st amendment rights.

Pete1 I talked with a very nice women that you had invited her, her husband and family over to your house for dinner after your sad showing in the run for sheriff! She reviews the forum all the time and doesn't understand the attacks on her husband, or the attacks on other police officers. Most of all she couldn't understand the attacks on her!
To have a family over to your house for a sit down dinner and turn around and try to destroy them is despicable, you are a cad an buffoon.

Smite me all you want, but I do agree with Pete on this one in that it would certainly appear that he has been slandered more on this forum than anyone else.
And, yep, I agree with kl too....newspapers DO publish unsubstantiated and unchecked comments and DO print slanderous/libelous remarks.

moosie.. You just slandered me.........The Bay times prints lies, and I caught them red handed. The point here is truth. If it's the truth it will all pan out. There are criminal allegations that need to be investigated by honest persons of authority.

My Friends................Due to the serious nature of these strong allegations of possible blatant corruption, and criminal violations, I will move to the next level......Fich Fisher needs to realize that choosing sides in political activity only discredits the Forums ability to attract persons that are truly interested in a better way of life in lovely Q.A.Co.. Apparently slander is condoned on KOI, and one sided. By taking this stand Rich Fisher is clearly taking sides....Let the chips fall as they may.

He is abiding by the rules of pro boards. And he had requested from everyone to please abide by the rules as well. What's the problem. If you don't like it, there are other places to go and whine, and insult. Are these your true colors, or just mud slinging politics? Either way, I personally don't respect these type of tactics, especially from someone who wants a leadership role here in QAC. -CG ps, I don't look at the smites, go for it!

Pete,
What you don't seem to understand is that by NOT taking sides I am keeping everything down the middle. When people target anyone - especially someone's family - I will not tolorate it. I would do the same for you if your family members were being brought up. I thought that we were ok with eachother. If I were truely biased, I would just ban you - and I have never done that. Please stop bringing my name into this because I have never wanted to be anything but right down the middle. You were not the problem anyway, and I never deleted your posts.

Rich Fisher........At no time did I slander, or mention the name of the person in question, or his family on KOL. However it did get back to me that you talked to person in question revealing the details of our private conversation..........If someone was slandered it's up to that person to take action. Who is the person or persons you're accusing of slandering? It seems to me that you're doing what you don't want done. You are making statements about people without mentioning names, or offering proof. This is done on KOI all the time without repercussions. I did not read anything that would be considered in a court of law to be slander. Instead I seen concerned citizens interested in the waist of their tax dollar, and the possibility of criminal activity.....This reminds me of the birth certificate with the president. He has a valid birth certificate because he said so. That's it, shut up, he has one, go away, don't make waves....The chips will fall sooner or later.

First off, what is so difficult about typing "KIO," or even typing out "Kent Island Online" for that matter. Secondly, one day when you are finally committed, I can not wait to watch through a one-way mirror your fight with a pillowed wall. Just exactly who ISN'T your enemy at this point? And I don't mean "oh, no one likes you!" - I mean truly, who, in your 1960's damaged mind, isn't out to get you?

rubyhayesforever.............Thanks for making my point. Pete Richter is slandered on KIO more than anybody.......Rich Fisher, lets get involved here my friend for the sake of fairness.....PS: Rich Fisher, and Pete Richter 109 Emory Circle Stevensville Md. 21666 410-643-0286 are the only ones that aren't afraid to use their real names. This speaks volumes my friends.

Please stop bringing my name into this because I have never wanted to be anything but right down the middle. You were not the problem anyway, and I never deleted your posts. I have to concur with Rich here. He's an outstanding and honest man, though we have never met. I can vouch for him, with everything he has stated in his posts here on this thread and others. He plays it down the middle, and he has always been completely fair and open, as far as "my cause" on this board, that continues 3+ years after I first posted. Have I slandered? Or libeled? No sir, and no ma'am. I've always posted what can be fact checked, and verified anywhere and anytime. P.S. I don't understand nor really care, but really, why all upset on being smited or exhalted? I don't think Rich has bumper stickers that he gives out, where you can proclaim that "I've been Exhalted 20 Times on KIO"!

I think people are confusing slander with slamming....... You know what, someone should start a KIO SNOPES or urban legend page. That would help in squashing the truths from the figment of peoples imaginations,.. plus it would be a good read!!

Here's what I think what should be done - set up all candidates (who want to participate) with a "Pro-Boards" forum of their own. They register at that site in their own name with their own info. They call it something like "The Bob Jones For Office" blog. They can post whatever they want on their own Pro-Boards site and moderate it themselves. No worries about anyone else deleting or modifying posts, etc. I will link to each candidates page right on this Politico Forum for traffic to find it. That clears me and my website from any wrong doing and gives the candidates full control and complete "freedom" to say whatever they want. Proboards.com chat boards are free and they don't sell your info or anything like that. I've been using them for years. If you don't want the ads on there, it costs about $40 a month to keep them off, which is usually what I spend, sometimes a bit more or less depending on the hits. The free one with the ads isn't bad though and the ads are small. It's also very easy to use.
I won't post links to unofficial or hate boards, but I have no problem linking to candidates boards, or websites.
