He may not agree with any of us on anything but at least as someone who is still able to post over there, he see's ignorance and confronts it.
Anti is not worth the time nor breath to begin a debate on the internet with but at least jim called him out and let him know what he thought. No one else did that. They let him continue to spew racial hatred all over that board.
It's been a while since I read anything he wrote - is that post consistent with past posts? Certainly not what I expect from him. Refreshing, but his comments to Anti probably end at defending the white race against the black man. I'd like to see him stand up and be counted on some other obvious issues.

Such as?...Fire away Art!...Jimbu15.
And please, not trying to be an a-hole here, could you make it quick? Gotta get to bed early tonite, I've got 3/12hr. shifts comin' up!...Jimbu15.

By the way Art, go back and check for yourself, I have had many "back and forths" with Anti over the years, I have to be honest, I did for sometime participate in the "ICN" theory, until I stepped back, and really read into what this person was saying, and I have to admit now, after thinking about what he/she really means when using that term, I am sorry that I engaged in it, and it's not something I'm proud of. That's why Ithen just decided myself and this poster should just agree to disagree, and I stopped reading in threads that I figured he/she would be spewing his/her racist views. Problem is now though, almost anything he/she posts underANY topic now is loaded with twisted, racial, conspiracy theories, and I have just had enough, it is my opinion, that he/she's views and opinions are those of a racist...he/she falls right into the old political trap..."Divide and Conquer", and I for one am sick of it. I hope that is sufficient enough for you, my esteemed Art...Jimbu15.
Whatever anybody said int eh past or didnt say in the past, Anti is a jackass who needs to stop the racist stuff. I can not believe more people don't confront him about it.
I'd like to see you speak out against the people who attacked member(s) of junior council, the use of the word "Nazi" to describe Judy Gatelli, Joe calling Stacy Brown "Uncle Tom for the Lynetts," etc. While I applaud your standing up to Anti, that site is filled with hate. Weigh in on any of those items (or ones of your choosing) at any time.
I too Mr. Art agree with you. If I may add, the use of the name "LITTLE HITLER" when making refrence to Doug Miller. As a parent, there is nothing more that I hate than adults picking on kids, because kids have to "respect all adults no matter what and if they stick up for themselves they are considered disrespectful". Children should be seen and heard. Thank you.
Have you perhaps noticed that a few posters are going the way of anti? Joey seems to have jumped on the band wagon. Here are some examples. What have you to say about these comments?
RE: Sam, your summons was sent today, June 27 Savvy wrote: This seems incredible to me that Mr. Patilla is being charged. If he can have criminal charges against him for raising his voice, then free speech in Scranton is gone.
Free speech will never be gone in Scranton. Sam will expand it, redefine it, and, in fact, reinforce it. Sam is going to more clearly define what free speech is and is not in a political setting. Most people don't know just how far free speech can go. In political settings, it can go pretty far, and a lot further than Sam took it. In this situation, Mag. Farrell will do as she is told. She's as crony as they come, if not by direct breeding, then by sleeping with it or patronizing it. It was Alyson Farrell who initiated a phone call to have this forum shut down, right from her magisterial office, and on the taxpayer's phone, and while working on the taxpayer's dime. That arrogant and corrupt act led to a federal lawsuit against the DA and the Pa. State Police, which led to a Federal Court Order and Injunction issued by Judge Caputo that basically advised all authorities to keep their hands off the free speech being exercised on this forum. They all got slapped around. Alyson Farrell directly launched the free speech issue into federal court where we came out much stronger than when we went in. Now, Gatelli's blatant arrogance is going to make free speech even stronger by showing that the anonymous posters are fully protected from the things they've posted here. It just keeps getting better every time there's a challenge, and Sam's case will be no different.
Sam will use the transcript from his case to file a Federal action against the city, the cop, and the system that's trying to shut him up out of fear of exposure. In that Federal action, Sams' rights will be clearly defined and he'll be more of a free speech problem for this city when they are. Guaranteed. 60 years ago Sam would have already been tied to a tree and beaten to death, practically anywhere, USA. My wife and I would have disappeared two years ago as fish food in the Hudson. Today, we are more empowered than ever by Federal decisions that recognize free speech and what it was meant for, particularly in corrupt political settings. Sam has friends in this situation, more than he knows, just sitting back and watching, waiting for the corrupt Alyson Farrell to make her next politically bad move. And, when she does, the Federal ball will start rolling. I'm going to hook Sam right up to the right people who will shove this whole thing right up Gatelli's and Farrell's asses.
Trust me, what's happening to Sam is a free speech gift. Sam's going to take a few lumps on the front end, but he looks like a big boy to me. We have a long way to go to take all these corrupt thieves like Gatelli down, and the timing on this is so very perfect. It doesn't hurt at all that Sam is a man of color. You just watch where baby this goes
RE: What Stacy Brown should or does know and you don't. There's no question that Stacy Brown has authored some God-awful stories. Fortunately/unfortunately they were so awful that most people read the spin in them and either little or no political benefit was generated from them. Brown's reputation is now so discolored with lack of credibility, no pun intended, that when his name appears at the top of any story, one thinks to themselves, "here we go again", more fiction. He's the laughing stock of journalism and will never be known as anything but an Uncle Tom for the Lynetts. Shameful for him. He's no proud man when you see him in public, he sort of cowers a little, not stand tall. He can't even hide his shame. His articles have fueled the need for this movement to grow and attack the machinery right in its drive train.
RE: Patilla's alleged crimes on YouTube Gatelli has once again compromised the authorities with her premeditated hunger to make an example out of Sam, but this case reeks with "white man" prejudice and the attendant belief they can muscle this black man into submission. I've spent some time with Sam, and unable to say much more at this time, I can assure these "white men and women" that they've selected the wrong black man to play this game with. This black man is not only a passionate fighter, he's a very savvy, intelligent man with a particular awareness of his rights. Sam is not going to bend, buckle or back up. And, he has friends, as the "white men and women" are going to find out
Here Joey takes the poster "anti-anti" to task for using racial comments and in the above post uses the same type of comment himself? And yet never a comment to the original Anti for all their rants to date?
RE: The case against Sam Patilla - cops Affidavit Anti anti, you have a right to your opinion as stated. However, in the future, couch your opinions in expressions for the entire room, and not just for people of a particular color. Propagation is a salient issue, but I don't agree that your application is so justifiably intimate to any particular color or race that you can eliminate one or the other. Your view isn't disturbing for me, but you're clearly advancing a social theory that is racially charged when you address it to "Whitey". Do not proceed with that racially charged ambition. Only warning.

All right Art...Here we go! Again, go back and read{I'm really not the cut and paste type of guy}, I have bantered with those who have attacked Jr. Council, and even offered Mr. Miller advice{for whatever my advice is worth!}, I have said before, I don't participate in attacks on children and family members. As for calling Ms. Gatelli a "Nazi", I guess I'll call myself out on that one, I said it, may have even originated it,because IMO, she tries to run meetings, and bully people in a dictator type fashion, maybe Nazi is a harsh term, maybe she's not as bad as Hitler, possibly Castro though. It is my opinion that Ms. Gatelli would prefer everyone to just sit down and shut up, do what thier told, that my friend Art, is being a dictator, a form of Communism in my book. As for Joe calling Stacy Brown an "Uncle Tom", why is it that you think I have to agree with everything Joe says? "Uncle Tom" is a harsh term, I wouldn't have chosen it, but I do agree with Joe that Mr. Browns testicles are in the Lynetts "pickle jar." Mr. Brown wouldn't know how to write an unbiased story, providing ALL the factsif his life depended on it, that is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it, you see I have been to meetings, functions, and witnessed things for myself, only to pick up the paper the next day and havecertain things"conviently"{sp?} left out of Mr. Brown's articles, or twisted in a way that favors certain people, and disparages others. And hell, we won't even get into the number of people who have been "mis-quoted" by the TT. I hope my responses are worthy enough my Dear Art?...Jimbu15.
Ihave...I do not agree that Mr. Patilla is being singled out because he is a person of color. IMO, Mr. Patilla is being targeted because his political views differ with those in the majority who are running the City. He speaks out, sometimes loudly...he is a target. I believe Mr. Hubbard was also, or might be being charged with "bumping" a Police Officer, when the fact is, the Officer actually iniated contact with him...Mr. Hubbard is a person of non-color, so IMO, the "Black-White" issue goes out the window right there. Mr. Hubbard is being singled out for the same reason as Mr. Patilla, because his political views differ from those in the majority who run the City...he too, speaks out, sometimes loudly...he is a target.
When it comes to Economics, Politics, Gov't. in general, the only color that means anything at all IMO, is GREEN, you either have it, or you don't, and if you don't have enough of it, it doesn't matter what the color of your skin is, you don't matter in the Gov't's, Financial Institutions, or the Big Businessess eyes, because with the exception of companies like K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc., if you don't have enough GREEN, as in paper, not skin color,your'e useless to them anyway...Jimbu15.
I can agree with much of what you just said and thank you. However i was interested in what, if anything, you intend to say to Joey for engaging in similar posts as Anti? You comments toOlidea are true so I waswondering if you intend to call out others for the same behaviour?
::::that words such as "Whitey", "Inbred", and "ICN'er" the way a certain poster uses it aren't just as offensive as the "N" word, or any other racial slur you can think of..::::
While I don't agree with everything you write, I give you credit for being a man of your word...you said here that you disagree with that RACIST PIG AntiSemiticMovements...and you actually do something about it at DD. That's in stark contrast to others, like Shari, who are long on claims but short on proof/action.
Good luck in battle over there...you will loose...but good luck anyway.

Ihave...Honestly, no I won't confront Joe on his "Uncle Tom" comments, and no, not for reasons you or others might think. Not because I'm scared...I fear no man, I get and accept what I get, whether it's a verbal beatdown, or a pat on the back, my Father always told me, you can't fight every battle in life, pick and choose them carefully. I said before, racists like Anti, used to be easy to ignore, skip over certain threads I didn't feel comfortable engaging in, so to speak, but now, no matter what thread, what topic, Anti seems to feel the need to spew his/her racist rants, and it has just started to piss me off. Sh!t, start a thread about Disneyland, and Anti will find a way to spin a way that the Donald Ducks, and Goofy's of the world are trying to keep a "certain sector" of peopleout of thier park, that's how ludicrous he/she has become, andit's just getting old, tired, and annoying. Whether any of you like it or not, agree with it or not, 99.9% of Joe's posts are not written with endless racial slurs, why he chose the term "Uncle Tom", I don't know, it's not a phrase I'm comfortable with, as I have also said, I do not agree with everything Joe says or writes, and yes we do have our differences when it comes to our opinions of things like involving politico's family members, we agreed to disagree on that way back in the day, he has his views, and I have mine, and I have NEVER been threatened with termination from his forum just because we don't see eye to eye on every issue. As for Anti, something inside of me finally snapped, probably because as I've said, I could no longer even click on any topic without having to hear his/hers twisted, raciist views on absolutely everything and everybody that are nothing more than attempts to divide and ignite everyone. I hope I kind of answered your questions satisfactorily{sp?}, I have a week-end full of 12 hour shifts upcoming, if y'all have anything else, I'll be back on Tuesday...Jimbu15.
Jimbo, I'll take you at your word about th contents of your posts on Jr. Council and feeling some remorse on using the word Nazi.
Having several well educated and productive black friends, and some who are not - just as some of my white friends, I strongly believe that the "Uncle Tom" label on Stacy is the lowest of low blows. As white men we can not begin to understand the depths at which that statement effects a person of color.
Here's the deal, plain and simple. Stacy works for the Lynetts, it's up to them to decide how well a job he does based on the feedback they get from the people who read his articles. I suspect that feedback must be good or we wouldn't be discussing his articles anymore.
That, in fact, is no different from you or me. If I think you cook me a crappy quarter pounder with cheese, or do a crappy job on my brain surgery - but your boss loves your work, what am I to do? I'll keep my job and you'll have to go away disappointed. That's business.
The danger of the message board debate is to strongly present one side while ignoring the other side exists. We aren't perfect (and I'm far from it) but anything close to balance is what you'll find here.
Read this post a few times. Is there any post over there that concedes anything, offers another way of looking at things, proposes alternate solutions?
I'll meet you half way on some issues, but some are simply out of bounds. Calling Stacy "Uncle Tom" is out of bounds. He is a well educated, highly successful man - one of strong religious beliefs and and strong family values, Calling him "Uncle Tom is pretty much like calling him a ******. I'm appalled by the comment, would like to see someone defend that point over there, and don't want anyone to attempt to rationalize it over here. If you can't see that it's wrong, we have nothing left to debate.
I appreciate what you have said and thank you. I hope the time passes quickly for you 3x12is a tough run. See you when you get done and a little rested. :)

Art...I am not trying to rationalize anything. I have to ask, what part of I'm not comfortable with that phrase, and I don't agree with Joe on every single thing, don't you understand? There is also nothing for you and I to debate on this, I am not comfortable referring to ANYBODY that way, and I would never use that phrase...Jimbu15.
Jim.....Cyberlion/Sam Patillia is basically calling you a pussy for not "debating" him. I totally agree with you if you don;t want to start a never ending convo with him. He is a retard. BUT
You have the poortunity to call him out for speaking in tyhe third person. Whenever he types as Cyber he refers to Sam as a differnt person.
Call him out.
It would be great, And show him a thing or two about trying to intimidate people with is idiotic rants.
That would be nice, but the post would never last. Joe is fiercely loyal in protecting his posters identities, even when they very obviously identify themselves. Addresses get deleted, names get struck, posts are removed, etc...
Jim would likely be banned as well if he called Sam out like that over there, and the thread would be deleted "toot sweet". Kind of a pointless exercise from that perspective.

I really don't give a f*ck who Cyberlion is or isn't, I just want to know why he/she is not offended by the racial garbage Anti spews, but than takes issue with another poster for basically saying the same things, I asked the questions, let's see if he/she will answer them....Jimbu15.
:::::::::::::Joe is fiercely loyal in protecting his posters identities:::::::
lol Only if he likes them. He has no problem letting posters he doesn't like or agree with get outed. I posted a few examples of that in another thread. He is goodat being hypocritical, quite the talent he shows in that department. lol
You are right Jimbu you are calling Sam/Cyber and Anti out! GJ
Just had to add this, anti is throwing a fit now lol lol. On a serious note though Jimbu I am sorry to see virtually no one taking your side there. "Nobody" seems to be on the same page but that's about it. Sad :(

Takes a big person to admit when they have been wrong, you did real good Jimbu real good! Let those who don't step up as you have done hang their heads in shame. Way to go Jimbu! :)
I haven't called anyone "whitey" in a long time, although I must admit I've been tempted. I merely disagreed with Moosicman's assertion that Simmons acts black. I said that Mrs. Simmons is "very white", and that her whiteness is demonstrated by her zealous support of the police.
I've called Stacey Brown white, while others have called him Uncle Tom. If Moosic man can tell Simmons to look in the mirror, why can't I tell Stacy to do the same?
I presented evidence for the claims I have made. We will see if my claims continue to stand the test of time. I have some radical opinions, and even the most sympathetic lefties disagree with me. All I ask is that you keep in my some of the arguments I've made.
Check Jimbu's early posts on this messageboard, and check the Chumpster archive if you can get access to it. Jimbu used to stick up for me. He used to give me the benefit of the doubt during those early days when I was calling certain people "whitey." I always say that when something happens partly explains why it happens. Timing is everything. Yeah your'e right Anti, I did "USE TO" support some of what you said, like the term "ICN"er", until I really stopped and thought about what you were saying, took the time to reallyread into your words,only then did I realize how disparriging{sp?} that term really is, and how full of hateyou really are, it made me physically sick to my stomach that I ever condoned those words coming from you, or anyone else.I don't deny, or hide from anything. However, at one point, I received a very rude wake up call, and I realized how much much those words can hurt, how deeply they can cut, how far they can divide. I saw the pain of those words up close and personal, and realized that words can do far much more, permanent, damage than a knife, or a baseball bat. I can't change the fact that I once had no problem with some of your views, and name calling, I can only apologize for it and move on, and hope for forgiveness when it comes time to meet my maker. I used to speak alot before I thought, not anymore, like I said, I've seen the damage words can do, andso now, Ithink, and choose my words carefully, I don't want to hurt anybody, only try and help, and even though it may have taken me awhile, I finally realized that I can't help anybody by resorting too, or supporting anything, or anyone, that needs to use sensitive, racial slurs to try and get thier point across. And yes, Anti, you have used the term "Whitey" not too long ago, and were warned about it by the admin. You see Anti, none of us are perfect, we all make mistakes, I, for one, am man enough to own up to them, apologize for them if neccesary, and never repeat them...Are you?
Wow ... I have not really been on lately ... just popping in and out every now and then ... but I have to agree ... Way to go Jimbu ... we don't really often agree (and that's ok) ... but I have to say it's about time someone called Anti and Sam Patilla on the racist posts that they have been making.
I am sorry if I ever lumped you into that racist boat ... Shar has said I do that ... and if I ever did that to you I apologize to you.

To Lus, and All...Thankyou for the kinds words and support. Some of y'all may have noticed, that until recently, I have been pretty much MIA. I used that time to do alot of self-evaluating, and soul-searching, and I can assure you some of what I saw was downright scary. I am hoping that because of some recent, life altering expiereinces, that I will be able to look at things from all sides, and at all costs keep an open minded perspective on everything.
I would like to start by thanking Lus, and his/her moderators for allowing me to post here, and offering up a differing point of view. I know when I first showed up on your doorstep I was full of nothing but piss and vinegar, but y'all tolerated my rants, and continued to let me post, for that I am grateful...Thank-You.
To Lus, I don't know if you have, or anyone here for that matter, has ever "lumped" me in with anyone else, but if you have, it's understandable, and I have no ill feelings about it. My Father{God Bless His Soul...R.I.P.} always told me..."Son, be aware, because you will always be judged by the company you keep." I honestly have to admit, that since I started posting here, I have actually opened my mind to different points of view, and have learned to start looking at ALL sides of an issue...I'd like to thank all of the members here for that.
Now, with that said, I am not saying that I am going to agree with any, or all of you even some of the time, but, I will make sure that I have educated myself on any issue before I start any kind of debate, my days of"shooting from the hip" are over. As an example, I have heard from a very, very, reliable source, some disturbing things about one, Mr. Sam Patilla{Everyone's new "hero of the day"}, but I will not post any of it until all my info is locked in, confirmations concrete, and all the "i's" are dotted, and all the "t's" are crossed.
Again, I thANK Y'all for tolerating, and allowing me to post, even though we don't see "eye to eye" on most things...Jimbu15.
If what you got on Sam is anything near what was posted and then changed to wingdings for lack of proof (I can't find the thread, or I'd link it), then IM me and I'll post it as confirmation.
If you want to even just get a rumor off your chest, feel free to IM me with that as well. There are posters here who will vouch to the fact that when I say "mum's the word", the word is mum until permission is granted to be.....un-mum.....
since I started posting here, I have actually opened my mind to different points of view, and have learned to start looking at ALL sides of an issue...
Jimbu ... we are always about letting people post ... you have the right to your opinion here ... we do not and never have expected anyone to agree with us ... we as you know do not post rumors and innuendo ... and I thank you for going by our rules here. The rules are in place to protect us all.
I hope that everything is ok with you and your family ... I do tend to worry about the posters here ... that's my way ... I can only hope that all of the posters at DD one day begin to step back an look at that site ... I have no problem with them voicing their opinions on government ... in fact I encourage it ... the only problem I have with what goes on at DD is the way they go about things ... making family members targets of the things that are brought out ... and personal issues of things that have happened in their family ... is what disturbs me the most ... bringing up someones sexual preferences ... or just spreading rumors about those sexual preferences ... is none of my business.
I can not hate someone for simply disagreeing with me ... what I can hate is someone expecting me to respect thier opinion while telling me that if I change my opinion then they will accept me ... You are welcome here ... and always will be ... and as long as you have proof to back up what you say then you can tell us and the world ... not a problem ... that's all we ask ... you actually have provided a very important service here ... by giving a different prospective ... and I appreciate that ... and I'm glad to know I have not lumped you in with the others.
I will stop now before I begin to ramble! I do that a lot in case you didn't notice.
