A crazy thing has happen at DZ tonight, ........

My sympathies to Smokin99 in her impossible task with the obsessive-compulsive Blevins at Dropzone!   

But from what I understand, she may have had some wine while posting....so WIN WIN for smokin99.

The last five years at the DZ is a combination of impossible tasks. The entire "shill" comment was a direct result of Farflung noticing that his co-editors (Nelder, etc) were leaving reviews on Blast. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. Now Blevins is an expert on shill reviews, but does not explain he was dinged for it a few years ago. He just does not get it. Not now...not then...not tomorrow. Why does anyone even try? I stopped replying and posting on the DZ as a direct result of Jo and Blevins. He believes that KC is the guy and nothing, including lack of evidence, will stand in his way. It is enough to pull your hair out.

The situation with 'that guy' and the other 'drone' on DZ is nothing less than a rein of terror being conducted on Dropzone by two people.

And 'that guy' called Smokin99 a "drone" ? 

Something is broken in the management of that place.

Did someone say refill?

I hereby nominate Smokin99 for sainthood for her SUSTAINED interventions with He-Who-Can-Not Be-Mentioned, but is affectionately known as Bobby B.

Bless his heart.
I think I'm about done. It was fun but then I find myself wondering what in the hell am I doing trying to be logical with this person or even try to hold him to a standard of fact. Futile. Internet asininity.
I had a co-worker once. I always swore that when God made him, he started with Barney Fife, but then took away Barney's humility, awkward naivety, and humor and, then, on top of that, gave him a double dose of know-it-all, hubris, and ignorance  - yep - that would be my co-worker. The weird thing is he was actually a nice guy that would give you the shirt off his back but dang he could get on your last nerve. I guess that's what the internet takes away - when you don't have a personal interaction you really have no "nice guy" part to take the edge off the arrogance and other crap. Oh well - I'm gonna try to rise above it and just challenge the data. Wish me luck 

He reminds me a lot of Piers Morgan.......

He reminds me of what happens when I write to one of my elected officials.  They look for key words and then send out some canned response.  They don't even read the content.

Smokin, I have to say you write very well.  Clear, concise and always straight to the point.  I admire your tenacity.

Hey, Ole Miss C, I hear that you've got a man hanging from a tree in Port Gibson. Your case?

So...I got my FOIA response back from the FBI today. Nice form letter that basically said that they had released everything that they were going to in response to an earlier FOIA and I could find it in the FBI vault. I proceeded to say a bad word to my dog. Of course, I knew that it would go no where. I'm working on my appeal -- If that doesn't work, I guess I'm gonna have to find me a lawyer and sue for equal access under the law.  

I got a phone call from the FAA about the one I filed with them -- in effect she told me the same thing but I told her I wanted it processed anyway.

Sometimes you wonder why they call it the FOIA? some get replies with a couple words on them, and the rest is redacted.
