“No sir. I have never> pinged the entire Ping list to a comment of yours, nor would I have done such a thing.”
Another Swordmaker LIE that he makes so glibly. This was such an offensive tactic, that the Admin Mod removed Swordmaker’s post. Easy enough for him to lie about it now, I guess, but he and I both know it happened. My “Minions, attack!” response is still floating around as some proof that it occurred.
See, dayglored? This is what I’m talking about. A straight-up lie. Maybe he thought he was safe to make due to the post being removed, but you determine for yourself why his post was removed here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3259424/posts?page=26#26
Please note the subsequent attacks from some of his Ping List using some incredibly offensive terms. (”Anal bleeding,” for example.)
Take a look at the nature of the thread. See if resembles what I have described or what Swordmaker describes in his lengthy post.
“No sir. I have never> pinged the entire Ping list to a comment of yours, nor would I have done such a thing.” - LIE
“I merely pinged the Freepers in the Thread whom you had insulted with a general nasty comment about all Apple users.” - LIE, which interestingly contradicts his prior claim sentences before to NEVER have pinged his list to a comment of mine. When you look at the thread, though, my comments are very specifically about him.
“I have been a published author, editor and publisher. I don’t turn out crap.” - LIE, just look at this response. ;-) OK, OK, now I’m just teasing.
*Shrug* I’m done with this thread for now, but this is just another bald-faced, demonstrably disprovable lie from Swordmaker. One of the reasons he throws around the word “FUD” so much is that he’s projecting. As a paid social marketer, he knows *exactly* what FUD is and uses in posts like this. Standard propaganda tool.
He’s good at his job, I’ll give him that. That’s why I call him out, because others may not see it.
Another Swordmaker LIE that he makes so glibly. This was such an offensive tactic, that the Admin Mod removed Swordmakers post. Easy enough for him to lie about it now, I guess, but he and I both know it happened. My Minions, attack! response is still floating around as some proof that it occurred. No, you are right. In that instance, I did indeed bring the question of your complaints to the entire Ping list. . . because you were hitting me constantly about not even having a large list of people who were interested in Apple on other threads that day. It seemed to be the attack mode of the day for the group of Anti-Apple Hate Brigade members. So, as I recall, I asked the members of the list if they were interested.
That was not why the post was removed, because there was no offensive material in as far as I can recall. I am certain that Dayglored would recall that thread as he is on the Ping list. . . and certainly any offensive comment I may have made would've been comment on by others. It was not. Ergo, it was not there.
YOU somehow got that question deleted by the Admin Moderator because it was certainly NOT an insult to you and it certainly was not a PING for the list to a post of YOURS, although as I recall it did indeed refer to your consistant behavior, with which most were already familiar.
Please note the subsequent attacks from some of his Ping List using some incredibly offensive terms. (Anal bleeding, for example.)
LOL, I thought that one was particularly funny and appropriate due to your rude and offensive behavior.
All right, let's look at all the attacks on you from the members of the Ping list that so "offended" you (you seem to be easily offended by a lot of things). . . and see whether the Freepers in the thread you linked are upset about Apple threads, or YOU.
Supporting Apple threads in green
Opposing posts in in red
Neutral posts, in black.
Attacks on you will be quoted in their entirety in bold.
Although I am going to cite Freepers names in this listing, I am not going to ping them, because I am not addressing them in this post. I really do not want to bring them into this again. . . but they are on on the original thread. Any of you who see this, please pardon me for not following protocol.
Topic of thread is about Apple starting a free repair for defective MacBook Pro screens that had developed problems after warranty had expired and would have been of interest to any MacBook Pro owner. Certainly not something that can be construed as an Apple "advertising" and one that would be of interest to all Freepers with such a laptop, whether they were members of the Apple Ping list or not. Yet bolobaby attempted to hijack the entire thread (by the 14th post) to an attack on me as a "paid social media marketer for Apple," as he always does.

I appreciate his pings regarding Apple. And lest you brand me solely as an Apple fan, I've worked on dozens of different computers since the 1960s, did long stints as an NT and Windows server admin, dozens of software languages and oversaw mainframe sites. Apple happens to be a leading brand right now, so it is of great interest to millions of people. Get that through your thick skull and begone. "

So, before the request for members of the Ping list to chime in on whether they agreed with you or not, there were already EIGHT positive comments on the thread, to your TWO attempts to hijack the thread. Afterwards, only TWO other Apple haters showed up, Utilizer and Exosmagnum (who was such a piece of work as an Apple hater he got himself completely banished from Freerepublic by the boss himself for his misbehavior on Apple threads!) Between them and you, they accounted for a total of 14 more anti-Apple replies. . . out of 62 of which 43 were absolutely positive for the thread and were from 37 distinct individuals.
So, out of 82 posts in the thread, we have a total of 16 negative Trolling comments for a total of THREE apple hating individuals, including YOU. That leaves 52 totally positive of which 45 told you to STAY OUT of Apple Threads.
Only NINE of those can even remotely be considered attacks on you. . . and most of those are extremely mild, compared to the constant barrage of what you have posted against me. Frankly, I don't blame the ones who got more than mild against you. They've had enough of your bilge.
Do you have a problem with getting the message that you are far outnumbered and that you and your constant barrage of noise and hijacking attempts of Apple threads are simply not appreciated nor welcome?
