comments...
I am not trying to keep people from posting comments, there is a box that got checked somehow that turns off comments. I have corrected this and comments are turned back on. Sorry about the inconvenience.

I have no comment at this time.
He definitely has sitemeter on his site and can read ALL IP addresses that are hitting the site. He now has it so you have to log in to read who is on. Last summer, that is how I found out who was spamming the site. I'm guessing it was him! It was at that moment when I listed the address that he changed how you can access the sitemeter. I will be starting a new message board that is free and will have a lot nicer format. I'll keep you all posted!
Thanks for turning the comments back on. As a blogger myself, though not much under this account, I always end up doing something similar or clicking the wrong box.
I also run a message board for one of my clubs at school. We use a totally free service. There are a few google ads (text and link) at the top, but nothing disruptive or that take up bandwith. So, I know this can be done on the cheap or virtually free.
Next tactic for Ann: going to court to say Chief should be serving suspension.

I have never hid my identity. My userid is a derivative of my first and last names.
I will continue to post on OC chat until banned. I don't want the Purzner-ites thinking they don't have any opposition (in case they don't read the newspapers).
Public Figures
Under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, as set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1964 Case, New York Times v Sullivan, where a public figure attempts to bring an action for defamation, the public figure must prove an additional element: That the statement was made with "actual malice". In translation, that means that the person making the statement knew the statement to be false, or issued the statement with reckless disregard as to its truth. For example, Ariel Sharon sued Time Magazine over allegations of his conduct relating to the massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Although the jury concluded that the Time story included false allegations, they found that Time had not acted with "actual malice" and did not award any damages.
The concept of the "public figure" is broader than celebrities and politicians. A person can become an "involuntary public figure" as the result of publicity, even though that person did not want or invite the public attention. For example, people accused of high profile crimes may be unable to pursue actions for defamation even after their innocence is established, on the basis that the notoriety associated with the case and the accusations against them turned them into involuntary public figures.
A person can also become a "limited public figure" by engaging in actions which generate publicity within a narrow area of interest. For example, a woman named Terry Rakolta was offended by the Fox Television show, Married With Children, and wrote letters to the show's advertisers to try to get them to stop their support for the show. As a result of her actions, Ms. Rakolta became the target of jokes in a wide variety of settings. As these jokes remained within the confines of her public conduct, typically making fun of her as being prudish or censorious, they were protected by Ms. Rakolta's status as a "limited public figure".
Defamation and Blog posting.

I tried to address the Brown issue on OC chat today. It ws the first thing I thought when I heard the story. First, statute of limitations has passed us by. And second, doesn't this make Mark Brown look bad too?
I can't imagine that Brown would make himself the sacrificial lamb in this development.
Mommy,
Here is the free board we use to post for the history club.

We use the same technology on a soap opera board and it has thousands of posters. So, it is reliable.
I also have had good luck with GoDaddy in registering domain names. Inexpensive and efficient.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can do anything on my end.
Would the real Tu Wong Fu please stand up.
Just posting this note here, but the new message board is up and running.

Will somebody please post the new link on the overland chat board? I stopped posting there when that one guy was harassing everybody.
