At the risk of overloading the circuits with yet another political
article, I found this a most remarkable analysis.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gq1fEUuhFJV4rivRGDrhQY1DKAmQD9BOVA102

Analysis: For Clinton, tough talk but few results
By ROBERT BURNS (AP) � 1 day ago

CAIRO � Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's tense exchanges
with Pakistani civilians and Arab diplomats over a harrowing week of
foreign stops exposed the confining limits of her office.

On her most ambitious and contentious overseas trip as secretary of
state, Clinton had to resort to damage control after she appeared to
mangle the Obama administration's message on frozen Mideast peace
talks.

And while she scored points back home by standing up to angry
Pakistanis who confronted her about drone-launched U.S. missile
strikes, her blunt questioning of the resolve of Pakistan's government
exposed American impatience with the country's incremental steps
against terrorists.

In each case her extraordinarily public approach to diplomacy � for
better or worse � reflected not only her personal style but also
President Barack Obama's promise to reach out openly to friend as well
as foe.

What remains less clear is whether Clinton's hot-button politician's
persona works any better at producing international results � let
alone clarity � than a more classic diplomat's cooler tact.

What is "remarkable" about this analysis? It's merely more whining by
another dime-a-dozen neocon crybaby still unable to accept the fact
that America rejected him and his fellow losers.

Hillary has done an absolutely remarkable job in dramatically
improving America's image around the world and in renewing our global
friendships that were destroyed by George Bush and his house negro
Condoleeza Rice. (Colin Powell was too uppity as Secretary of State
and was actually liked and respected around the world so he had to be
replaced).

zob, have you actually read this article, or any verbatim reports of
what Hillary has said on this trip, and how it was received by all
those great nations around the world like Pakistan and Palestine?

the funny thing is, I sort of like what she said, no matter how
impolitic and undiplomatic it was. I cannot see Obama liking it much,
however. and even liking it, I suppose I would have recommended she
temper her language - a lot - to make the same points. not that it
would have mattered, but you should at least try to play the game, I
think.

in your righteous indignation you're missing the whole story, z.

"House negro?" C'mon zob, that is totally beneath you. You might not like
her politics, but she's a very well educated, polished, self-assured black
woman, and your term for her is downright nasty IMO.

Finally, a reply on the third attempt.

At the very least, I, Moni and Vandar have said we will try. Your
comment does not commit you to even that, as yet. So, will you

Vicious? I was not vicious in my response to zob. There have been some
vicious things said to zob in here, in the past, for which I've defended
him....although as I've said the other day, I no longer will.

He is simply not, IMHO, capable of a high level discussion of
significance on a number of subjects. His understanding of facts as
well as his means of self expression ("WTF, STFU, house Negro etc.), I
think, bare that out.

Why should she reply? It's not a serious question. You're not
serious; if you were, you would've kept one of the umpteen million
similar "pledges" you've made over the years. Instead, we get more of
the "Rudd's Rules for Newsgroup Etiquette" which mean that you can say
whatever you want as long as there's a smiley somewhere in the text.
Sorry, not buying it, and I'm pretty sure Vandar and Moni don't
either.

At the very least, the three of us have tried. That's more than a lot
of other people here, Callen. What have you done, btw?

The way this place has gone, it really doesn't matter because not enough
care enough to even try to make a difference for the better. So, in all
likelihood, this place will keep going downhill with almost all of us,
excepting maybe less than a handful, contributing to it.

Now, if your lecture is over, you can go make another insulting comment

Okay, Bob. I'll make the pledge more seriously than anyone ever has. I
promise to never say a word against anyone nor even their beliefs (something
you can't handle).

As soon as you do one tiny little thing:

Explain how you so frequently talked about having only one child (a son), but
then were planning your "daughter's" wedding. You can add in how you managed
to have a bunch of grandkids while your only child was still in high school.

I'll be waiting.

This whole concept of "everyone should just get along" is silly and needs to

Sorry Micki, because I do not accept the same POV from an article you
posted and agreed with Brian instead, has nothing to do with reading
comprehension.

OTOH, defending crudity as a acceptable form of polite response, when if
someone addressed you in that same manner...would elicit a very strong
response from you, if it were directed at you. You've never been one to
show that kind of personal ignorance of behavior and you know that.

I actually like the "g-reg" touch. It's more of a West Coast take than

Now, read carefully, Brian's article that he briefly quoted from was
in the Trumbull County Conservative Examiner and was based on that
liberal(yeah right) James Corsi's (you know of Swiftboat fame) article
from WorldNetDaily, another Conservative site. Brian gave bits and
pieces that had been pulled from Corsi's exclusive. I gave the entire
article.

But that was not what I was referring to when I questioned your
veracity. I was referring to the lies you have promulgated in this
group as to your real life.

I'd answer in the same way the person spoke so yes it would be in a
strong manner. If it happens I suggest you cover your very delicate
ears. I would not insult the person's intelligence for no reason over
many, many threads. I would try to show the person, as I have been
trying to show you, where they have gone wrong. However, even I grow
bored from hitting my head on a brass wall so think what you like
about Hasan and Homeland Security. I'll just grin.

How much, and/or how little, I have chosen to reveal at any time over

more about my real life. I'll comment on others if they chose to share
aspects of theirs, need prayers, encouragement, etc. but anything about
ours, if shared, will be done privately with those I truly consider my
closest friends. BTW, we do not have a bunch of grandkids either, just
one.

Now, as to that pledge of yours, please forget about it. The fact is I
apologize for drilling you about it and ask your forgiveness. I think
TC and g-reg are right. It's ridiculous to think that all, or even
most, of us will get along and I've finally come to realize it. That's

That's why tools such as plonks and/or ignoring those who disturb us are

The way this place has gone, it really doesn't matter because not enough

Most people can understand the guarding of information. People use a
different last name (although YOU don't), they don't say their kids' names,
they keep their locations secret, etc. This makes sense. What doesn't make
sense is why you would openly declare that you only have one child, a son,
and then add three more kids to that in a later post. This isn't guarding
information; this is flat-out lying. Either you have one child or four.
One of these isn't true. There is nothing in the sensible act of guarding
information that would cause someone to say on one have that he has one
child, and on the other hand that he has four. You cannot use the guarding
information excuse to justify why you did this to your friends.

Many people here believed the things you said. When they learned that much
of what you had told them was simply not true, they got hurt. It's one
thing to not talk about your job or your kids or your home in the interest
of safety. It's another to talk about them ALL THE TIME, completely
fabricating these things and fooling the people who had considered
themselves friends.

There was a brief discussion here a while back about how nice it is to have
a little community where we get to know each other. We share pictures and
stories of our families and our work and hobbies, and this all makes us feel
a little more real to each other. How do you think all the people who
congratulated you on the birth of your granddaughter feel now knowing that
your previous claim makes the granddaughter an impossibility?

I think Lesmond's idea is a good one. Come clean. Telling us whether you
have one son or four children will not compromise anyone's safety. Saying
that you lied about the daughters and granddaughter won't make you any more
disliked than you already are. Bob, people already KNOW what you've said.
They already don't like you. Wouldn't coming clean at least earn you a
little respect and the possibility of building new friendships where the old
ones had been torn down?

I did come clean. I said I didn't call her. My bill will arrive in a few
days, and if you want proof, then I'll post it. Remember, posting a picture
of my husband's name and phone number on a caller ID phone that allows you
to program such names and numbers into it doesn't prove that someone called
you. However, a phone bill lacking said call will prove that the call
didn't happen. Frankly, I am more interested in seeing her bill.

Your "proof" will only lead to more speculation. I could post a picture of
the Mona Lisa and say it's an original and it's sitting in my living room.
People will just have to believe who they want to believe. And, as I've said
in the past, Tin@ may be many things, but she's not a liar. If you and your
husband didn't call her, then I'd sure be wondering who is going to the
trouble of impersonating you. Or you could just be lying. That's what I'd
put odds on.

It is ironic that arguably one of the most pathologic liars is
confronting another pathologic liar about lying.

Suzanne also has not come clean about her posting Tina's telephone
number, announcing that it was her phone number and asking people to
call it after midnight. I am sure Suzanne's "friends" feel even better
about her integrity and are glad to call her a friend.

I think that Suzanne should come clean and admit that she posted
Tina's telephone number in this newsgroup. Wouldn't coming clean at
least earn her a little respect and the possibility of building new
friendships where old ones had been compromised.

Oh. I see. When you want to have folks lick you all over, then you'll have
a daughter planning a wedding. And a bunch of other kids. And grandkids,
Except when you only have one child. Now, suddenly, it's none of our
business even we're simply commenting on stuff you've already posted?

If you post something it's fair game. I notice you have stopped mentioning
your family at all and now just sit around posting ad hominems to anyone who
disagrees with you politically.

There's a big difference between the two situations. In the
Suzanne/Tin@ case, it's one person contradicting a completely
different other person. *One* of them is lying, but we have no way of
knowing which (if either one is... perhaps one or both are just
misinformed about the full reality of the situation).

In the other case, however, there's absolutely no question who the
liar is, because one single person alone made the completely
contradictory claims about their family.

You know what Bob? You are right, your real life is your personal business.
You may reveal as little or as much as you see fit. Here is the problem
many of us have with you. You have chosen, from time to time, to speak of
your personal life with us. Again, that's all well and good. But you have
told conflicting stories about yourself at different times, both on and off
the ng. This has hurt a great many people's feelings who thought you were
their friend. You don't lie about things of such importance to friends.

Honestly, all they want is an apology.

I would. Even if the accusations against Bob are true, they don't effect my
life outside this newsgroup. It really doesn't make a difference to me if
Bob has 1 kid or 10, or if they're going to college or just got out of
prison. I can choose to ignore the posts I think aren't true or don't effect
me one way or the other.

Right now, I think Suzy-anne is lying about either she or someone at her
home calling Tin@. We all know she posted Tin@'s number then came up with
some lame "I own the number" nonsense. Should she stop posting too? On the
contrary, some people seem to be defending her because they don't like Tin@.

This is usenet folks. People can be purposely obtuse. I will say, Bob comes
across as almost paranoid to me at times. I could see him telling multiple
stories at multiple times to throw off whoever he thought was beginning to
pick up his scent. And like any lie, you have to keep telling them to cover
for the first one.

If someone's feelings were hurt because Bob claimed that he had
children that he does not have, that is THEIR problem. Why the fuck
should anyone feel hurt about that?

If I knew Bob and I found out that he lied to me about his children. I
would not feel hurt at all. I would feel sorry for someone who is so
insecure that he must make up a fantasy life in order to gain
acceptance and approval. But it certainly would not reflect negatively
on me. If OTOH he lied about something substantive that would effect
me, then I might feel hurt. But claiming that he has children and
grandchildren is no skin off my back.

Jesus H Christ. Our economy is in the shitter, some whacko terrorist
murdered over a dozen soldiers and you seem more worried that some
anonymous Usenet poster apologize for lying about how many children he
has. Get your priorities straight honey. Take a chill pill. Maybe that
will help with your pain.

Bob has no real friends. Anyone who likes Bob is liking someone that
Bob has created out of whole cloth.

Why the fuck you care so much that he apologize? What is it to you?

Everything in the world of liberals is based on emotion. An apology would

That was a request, not a statement of fact. No lie.

Of course, there ARE certain people here who think things like "Constantine

are lies rather than jokes.

Like I'd go to all that trouble?

Unless something has changed, I believe it was Brian who pointed out that
the device Tina showed us could not have had the number programmed into it.
The most logical scenario is either you or someone in your home called Tin@.
We all know how you like to play games, so you may have had your mother, or
your son or some friend call from your home so you'd have plausible
deniability.

For those of you who do not remember the original statement that
Suzanne made here it is (with the phone number redacted):

Suzanne says she was not asked the question so she did not lie. Well
here is her chance to come clean.

Suzanne, did you post Tina's telephone number claiming it was YOUR
telephone number?

Suzanne, was it wrong for you to post Tina's telephone number in a
public newsgroup?

Suzanne, would you like to apologize to Tina for posting her telephone
number here?

Watch how Suzanne dodges and evades directly answering these very
simple questions. She is quick to ask Bob Rudd to apologize for his
transgression but does not take responsibility for her own. This is
called hypocrisy.

I would too, TC. I consider Bob a friend, just as I do you, Vandar,
Moni, Azurespirit, Zob and Tin@ to name just a few. I have no idea if
what they have said within the newsgroup about themselves, or their
family is true, because on the Net a person can be anybody they want to
be, any sex, any age, any weight, etc. They could be unemployed, or a
doctor, and they could have 4 wives, and 15 children, be gay when they
say they are straight, etc., but we don't REALLY know that. I like to
take everyone at face value, and all my life I have tried to see the
good in everybody, and give them the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes I
am probably too gullible, but I would hate to go through life not
trusting anybody. I have always been "out in the open" about myself in
here, and would like to think what I know about everyone else, is the
gospel truth. I will say I have my doubts about several, due to their
ever-changing behavior in here, and the switching of nics by some. For
all I know they could be on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List!

I have good reason to think that Tin@ is a truthful person also, and I
would back her completely, against anyone that claims otherwise.

There are several in here that lean towards being paranoid, but I never
once have thought Bob did, either here, or in personal E-mail messages.
However, the "jury is still out" on a few others, but as you said, this
is Usenet, and we may even be posting with another Jack The Ripper on a
daily basis, and not have a clue. As I have always said, there are many
more 'good folks' in here, and that's what keeps me coming back for
more! <:))

Exactly! Good post here, Ryan! You hit the nail on the head with this
one, and I am in agreement with you. I don't really give two shakes of a
lamb's tail how many kids someone has, as long as I didn't have to give
birth to them! ;-) I had 4, and over-populated the world by 2 back in my
prime, so now I can sit back and just enjoy the grandchildren.

As you said, there are so many more really important issues going on at
this time. People need to get their priorities straight, and nobody here
owes anybody an explanation for anything, as long as they didn't do
anything personal to them.

I want to take this opportunity to say at one time you were one of my
least liked posters, but as time as gone by, I've come to rather enjoy
your posts, agree with many of your ideas, and respect much of what you
have to say. I even surprised myself when I came to that realization!

Well Judy, you aint so bad yourself. I know I have given you a hard
time in the past and it is big of you to be able to give me kudos when
you agree with my posts.

You know I never really understood why we got off on the wrong foot
but it seemed like it happened from the get go. I especially did not
understand since I was one of Kellie Pickler's biggest defenders
against those vicious attacks and I know you really liked her. Maybe
it was all because of my not being a big Daughtry fan. In any case let
bygones be bygones.

She's doing fine. I was sorry to see her leave the group too, but she
really got so tired of getting on here and seeing thread after thread on
politics, and all the flame-wars here between the parties.

She has said she isn't going to watch A. I. anymore, so didn't feel she
would have anything to add to the discussions even on that subject.

Likewise, as know I got on your case a lot too, and probably we won't
see eye to eye on some things, but heck, that's the way it is in

Sounds good to me! Yes, I always liked Kellie so well, back when she was
on A. I. and I still do. I am so happy that she is doing as well as she
is with her music career, and hope her success continues.

Something has changed. You must have missed the thread entitled "OT
Important Development Regarding Tina's Caller ID" posted by that very same
Brian. He realized that he was mistaken in thinking her CID was an
independent box; that it was actually in her phone, and he posted the new
instruction manual. The manual showed that this model indeed allows you to
program names and numbers into your phone. If you merely missed this post,
then I hope you will go back to look at it, and then come back here to
acknowledge that the likeliest scenario is that she called me.

Considering that I got it online where anyone can find it, no. It would be

Not really. In general, people can be placed into one of four personality
types. You'll get along best with the people in your personality type.
Everyone else, you need to adjust your personality, as well as them
adjusting theirs in order to co-exist. For instance, there are always people
you can't stand at work, but you don't tell them that, you pretend to be a
team player in order to keep your job. It's "are you done with copy machine
Steve?", not "you spend all your time at the copy machine to avoid real
work, right Steve, you lazy bastard?".

Of course you do, you like a lack of logic. In case Nathan hasn't noticed,

So, Nathan likes Suzy-anne and pretends the situation isn't the same, when
it fact, it is, except in Bob's case we have a *group* of people making the
accusations, not just one. Oh, and for the record, Tin@ at least produced

Oh, you're just talking about general contempt for the population at large?
Then I'm with you. You wouldn't believe the idiocy of cub scout parents.
But they don't know I hate them.

But still, we all "get along", just like your example at work. I'm only a

But see, proof of what? All we see is some Caller ID thing. When the
phone bills are produced then *that* would be real evidence.
