Yeah Joe, you know you are hitting a nerve when you start getting death threats, they slam you with perverted comments and post your name and other personal info.

Panama City News Topix is a hacked site with strawmen sockpuppets being paid to detract from the truth.

I think people are afraid to stand up and I do understand why.

Moderators are necessary, otherwise most forums quickly devolve into name calling contests.

The problem is that agenda driven trolls, who are on one payroll or another or else want to get on one, have taken over. The trolls say what they’re told to say or else what they expect that they’re supposed to say. Moreover, they’re rarely original or even entertaining, but rather follow the same old script.

People have a reason to be afraid. The only people who believe in “the system” are the ones that haven’t experienced “the system.”

I sent a link to this thread to the Ann Rand Center for Individual Rights. I wonder if they, or Glenn Beck, would be interested?

Panamaed,
Computer was getting attacked most of the week for some reason. I kept getting security messages that this or that was blocked. When I checked the security history, I discovered that I had a lot more attacks than messages indicating one Trojan or another was blocked. Consequently, I was somewhat reluctant to go online this week, because no internet security program is 100%. Yesterday I couldn't even get online. This morning I could, but the keyboard didn't work, which concerned me. Last time it didn't work I had to replace it after a loud hi-pitched sound came over the speakers. This time I didn't have the speakers on so I didn't know what to expect. When the keyboard didn't work, I figured that I'd worry about it later and left to run some errands. I noticed a sign advertising hi-speed internet access at the south end of the road, so I figured they probably were doing some work, which accounted for my inability to go online yesterday. At any rate, when I returned a short while ago, I disconnected the keyboard and reconnected it and it was functional again. I've also been running a lot of virus scans.

Maybe a cold boot might help them out, too!

Have to boot them all out, but I don't believe that will happen.

Three times the charm? Someone vandalized the jumbo sized rural mail box for the third time (I think that it's the same person because he came prepared this time). The first time someone tried to pull it up and twist it off, but couldn't. It was funny thinking about our hero struggling and being frustrated by a mailbox. The second time he tried to twist and rip it off. Again he couldn't. He just succeeded in twisting the box. I straightened it out the best that I could, but the door wouldn’t close right. However, the mailbox was still functional and looked okay, so I didn’t replace it with a new one. This time someone- I believe the same perp because he came prepared- used either a large crowbar or pipe and gave it one good whack, which knocked it off the post. Funny thing is that I really didn't have it all that securely attached to the post in the first place- just a few nails attached to one cross member. Apparently being humiliated by a mailbox challenged his "manhood," and thus the rematch. At any rate, he knocked it off the post. He mangled it and the door too much to straighten out this time.

Returning from Dothan yesterday with a new mailbox, I noticed that someone had opened the lock on my gate and left it still dangling and open on the chain. Apparently they didn’t need a lock. Before I had left, I shut and locked the gate. I was gone only three hours. Maybe they're giving me a message? Once early in the a.m. when the West Florida Electric Co-Op wanted access to the property they just cut the chain with a bolt cutter and drove the ¼ mile back to reattach a line that a lightning bolt had knocked off the transformer. They thought that I was asleep. When I caught up with them reattaching the line to the service pole up front where they cut power, they asked me: Why didn’t you call to report an outage?” I told them that I intended to call in the morning when it was daylight.

There’s no point even mentioning that hearsay has it that the would be thief who tried to steal the Subaru parked in front of the house about 2 a.m. last April is law enforcement connected.
