*Note to all* - my apologies in advance for the length of this post, it was unfortunately necessary to clarify exactly what has been posted between Freeper Lakey and myself, free of spin and distortion.

Sorry to do this, Jim. I think it's time, though.

Sorry for what? And time for what?

This business started with your post #6 which was a response to #5 by Califreak:

To: pissant
Thanks for the ping.
I was thrilled to see him on Hannity tonight.
Maybe he’ll be ready to mop it up in 2012.

Your post #6:

He’ll have “to mop it up” without me.

Your statement of non-support for Hunter was dismissive and rude with that mocking quote of Califreak “to mop it up”

In fact, it was upsdriver who FIRST called you on it with their post # 15:

No problem! :)

THEN I responded as I deemed appropriate with my post # 31:

No loss to Hunter. Hit the road then, fool.

That set YOU off, and you responded with a load of braggadocio at your post #105:

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Duncan Hunter would never in a million years tell you that I was not an asset or loyal to his campaign, both in cash contributions and in distributing his materials to about 400 Marine veterans.
Wipe the egg off your face.

I then responded at post # 109, again entirely appropriate to your own level of bombast:

You have no idea what you are talking about.
You were the one who first sneered in your post #6
"He’ll [Hunter] have “to mop it up” without me."
I say good riddance. You were stating that you would not be supporting Hunter. That makes you of no use to me. You're either with Hunter, or you're against him.
Duncan Hunter would never in a million years tell you that I was not an asset or loyal to his campaign, both in cash contributions and in distributing his materials to about 400 Marine veterans.
Bragging about yourself demeans the value of whatever you did. You've already stated you won't be on board with Hunter if there is a next time, so what's your point? Get lost already.
Wipe the egg off your face.
No egg to wipe. Go eff yourself.

Apparently that didn't sink in, you went digging around for dirt, and came back with your post # 118:

You were the one who first sneered in your post #6
That was a sneer?
That makes you of no use to me.
That's quite an ego you've got.
Bragging about yourself demeans the value of whatever you did.
I have an idea that you've never done much. Except rent a backhoe.
Get lost already.
Searching for your identity took a while - a big blabber. There isn't any appointment to Mr. Big Boss. I did read that you place a lot of emphasis on seniority - n00b. And, if someone disagrees with you, you become crude.
Go eff yourself.
See what I mean?
Rest in Peach.

Now let's take a second look at that #118.

I have an idea that you've never done much. Except rent a backhoe.

Searching for your identity took a while - a big blabber. There isn't any appointment to Mr. Big Boss. I did read that you place a lot of emphasis on seniority - n00b. And, if someone disagrees with you, you become crude.

Total ad hominem attack. (and that's ok, I can take it with the best of them) but look here: "searching for my identity", you want to take it outside the forum do you? That's what it sounds like. And what did you intend to do if your "search for my identity" had been successful, 'out' me to FR and the world? That is total DU and KOS behavior.

At post # 119, I responded:
[Lakey]I have an idea that you've never done much. Except rent a backhoe.
Never rented a hoe in my life, so don't get your hopes up.
You're a day late and a dollar short.
Get a life.

At the following post (#120), you came back to toot your own horn and add to your pile of ad hominem:

Next time we have a FReepathon, remember the folks you chased off this site with vulgarity, insults. Where it once took only 5 days to get $80,000, it is now taking 5 and more weeks.
And, if your ilk is what Duncan Hunter leans on for support, he's sunk.
Bragging about yourself demeans the value of whatever you did.
Tell that to Kristinn, Trueblackman, Dougfromupland, all the people working Tea Parties. Or, Dittomom, with whom I worked in 2001 on petitions to Recall McCain.
Saying what you're doing, and how, gives other people ideas on ways they may be able to use, too. It was no secret.
Were you around the year we got the bill "Know Your Customer" killed? Somebody started it and we finished our agenda.
Could it be, you are a coward?

"Could it be, you are a coward?"

What justified a baseless accusation like that? Your feelings got hurt? I didn't back down and applaud your bragging about all you did for Duncan Hunter? You think that you're setting some kind of sterling example of how to post on FR? Get a clue Lakey, YOU made it personal, and your posts in this thread make that abundantly clear.

Now at my post # 125, I took you to school on what you posted at # 120:

Next time we have a FReepathon, remember the folks you chased off this site with vulgarity, insults. Where it once took only 5 days to get $80,000, it is now taking 5 and more weeks.
Unless you can produce a list of former posters that I personally 'chased off this site', you can ram that false assertion rectally where the sun don't shine.
And, if your ilk is what Duncan Hunter leans on for support, he's sunk.
So you say. I submit that if he runs again, he'll do just fine without braggarts like you puffing up their chest to tell everyone about how much they've done for the cause.
Bragging about yourself demeans the value of whatever you did.

This isn't about other Freepers. But you go right ahead and brag all you want, if it gets you through the day
Saying what you're doing, and how, gives other people ideas on ways they may be able to use, too. Your post #105: "Duncan Hunter would never in a million years tell you that I was not an asset or loyal to his campaign, both in cash contributions and in distributing his materials to about 400 Marine veterans."
Wow, glad you gave 'other people' the idea of making cash contributions and distributing Hunter's material to Marine veterans, my gawd, I don't think anybody would have thought of that if you hadn't put it out there. But spin it as you wish for your own glorification, no biggie.
Were you around the year we got the bill "Know Your Customer" killed? Somebody started it and we finished our agenda.
This isn't about "Know your Customer". Stay on topic. The topic is Hunter.
Could it be, you are a coward?
Could it be you're just a bloviating know-nothing that has no idea what I do, and can't grasp the idea that some Freepers don't have to blow their own horn and holler 'lookit me! lookit me!'?
Yep, looks like that's you.
C'mon back, the fun is just starting.
125 posted on 03/24/2009 1:02:06 AM PDT by mkjessup

Your post #128 was most illuminating:

The topic is Hunter.
The site is activism.
bloviating ... I made one simple statement to PA, which obviously unglued you. He understands and that is all that matters.
I shall ignore you from now on, which is what you should also do. Go beat your wife and kids. Byeeeee
128 posted on 03/25/2009 6:05:45 PM PDT by lakey

So you run for the exit, stating without equivocation, that you shall ignore me from now on, and then hurl one more ad hominem over your shoulder about my 'beating my wife and kids', that's real classy.

I said fine and dandy, and made my own closing comment at #129 which I fully expected you to ignore:

Good riddance you old crow, that 'ignore' tactic is exactly what actual cowards do.
Looks like a custom fit for you.
129 posted on 03/25/2009 7:08:30 PM PDT by mkjessup

But lookee here, you had another surprise for us:

To: mkjessup
LOL! You remind me of someone with the initials J.G. A disrupter, who always argued with twists of the truth. You do agree your first post to me did disrupt this thread?
One thing you know about me, I am no coward. You can't even get up the nerve to reveal your state. And you're hiding out - underground, no less, in an obscure, rural area.
Eating your baloney, white bread sandwich, slathered in that gross Miracle Whip.

And at post #131 (which you went running to the mods about, as it was deleted) I stated (among other things) that not only were you a braggart, you were also a liar, because you clearly lied in your post #128 that you were going to "ignore" me, and then you came right back and continued on as before with your ad hominems.

Now there were two points to be made in this exchange between us, my point was actually simple: Any future Duncan Hunter campaign will do just fine if you (or anyone) chooses NOT to support him. This thread wasn't about you Lakey it was about Duncan Hunter. But you MADE it about you because you couldn't stand the fact that when you said that Hunter would have to "mop it up without you" that someone, anyone (that someone being me) might respond with "hit the road fool, you're either with Hunter, or against him", and that triggered your entire barrage which was actually more of a disruption to this thread than anything else. I responded to your original post #6, and you didn't like it. And you couldn't let go. If you think I was going to give you a pass, you're sadly mistaken.

The other point to be made in this thread was amply made by you, and that point is that you choose to make it personal, with implied threats about 'searching for one's identity', ad hominem attacks about being a 'coward', 'beating their wife and kids', 'hiding out', ad nauseum.

Now, at the end of this thread you've played the inevitable victim card, called in the mods and Jim Robinson, and that's fine. I have no doubt that JimRob can look at the entire exchange between us and see exactly what's been going on, and the conclusion ought to be clear to anyone: you came into this thread spoiling for a fight, and you got one. But when you discovered that you bit off more than you can chew, you went running to the mods and to JimRob.

And that comes as no surprise at all.
