BS. As soon as I saw that post of his, I DID send him what he asked for. Not once did he reply to one of the several messages and photos and scans I sent him. I dealt with him above board until HE started it all with his accusations and his lack of response.
For the record I am not trashing him. I am stating what happened. If you take that as trashing, then take it up with yourself because that is where the problem lay.
The ‘problem’ lay with your vehement insistence that the image you posted of a portion of a Colb that showed a date stamp in 2007 on a document received by you several years prior, was in fact genuine; that the ‘mistake’ was made in Hawaii, which proved that the date stamp on the obama CoLB was in itself a genuine item - THAT was the problem.
I read the thread, I hesitated to respond and point out to you why this was impossible, I hoped you would find your mistake...but you continued to insist. Right through, we got the stories about you moving, about your operation, you used every item (except the kitchen sink!) in an attempt to validate the date on the factcheck document, that anyone with half a brain, would have assumed your mission was to act as a factcheck agent.
I said nothing, though I certainly wanted to. I watched as you continued to insist.
And finally, Polarik gave his opinion. OPINION! He wrote exactly what I was thinking. Polarik did not say he had done an analysis, he reacted. While I sat and watched as you attempted to make it appear that Hawaii stamps documents at random...and discussed even the placement of the stamping machines, and told us details of telephone conversations with Hawaii...
Do you realize what a hullabaloo you created? Tell me, is your attention seeking satisfied yet?
I wrote to you on the thread finally. Kindly. I suggested that under these trying times, emotions and tempers are frayed. I suggested you let it go.
From my point of view, you came close to presenting a forgery in my mind. You are fortunate you still have supporters on FR. The work Polarik did over time, how much of himself he gave, for a thankless task, may never be duplicated.
Your behaviour and unforgiving attitude under the circumstances, when you, yourself must admit you insisted on trying to validate a document that could NOT be validated as you presented it, just might be one of the many good reasons Polarik is taking a sabatical.
Thanks for nothing.
For the record, did you have anything to do with publicly posting Polarik’s personal information on the web? Directly or indirectly?
I'm struck by the word until in that statement. Do you mean to imply that you dealt with him dishonestly at some point in the exchange between the two of you? Are you implying that his suspicion about your intentions or his lack of response is reason on your part to stop dealing "above board" with him? Please clarify.
