Mary Volm, an outspoken backer of the effort to recall Mayor Sam Adams, appears to be lining up for a run for city council.
- VOLM: RECALL BACKER, FORMER SPOKESPERSON FOR THE CITY
A Facebook page called “We Love Mary Volm! Volm For City Council 2010!” popped up over the last few days. Its administrators include Volm, herself, and former recall spokesman Jasun Wurster.
Just Out editor and publisher Marty Davis is also a member of the so-far 14-strong group. She is yet to return our enquiries.
I called Wurster on his cell phone, asking if Volm is running.
“I don’t have that information,” he said. “You’ll have to get that directly from her.”
I asked: What’s her number?
“I have to go,” he said, hanging up.
Volm was also involved in a high-profile limo rage encounter last year.
The city auditor’s office is also yet to return a call asking whether Volm has filed for public campaign financing or as a candidate for any seat. Usually it puts out press releases on the same day.
Update, 11:19
“Not yet, but likely. Seat 3,” writes Volm, answering the question whether she’s running, over Facebook.
Also, the above photo is from Facebook—Volm asked that it be attributed.
Update, 1:36
She’s blatantly running. The website maryvolmforportland.com has the following placeholder:
- HOLY DAZZLING ARRAY OF COLORS, BATMAN!
It appears an announcement is pending Wednesday.
Update, December 9, 11:34:
The site is live:
Mary Volm was born here in Portland, Oregon where most Portland ‘baby boomers’ were born — Wilcox Memorial (Good Sam). As an Oregon native, she chooses Oregon for the same reasons we all do, it define all of us — Oregon, and urbanally, Portland, is the best place in North America to live, work and play.
Urbanally, it define all of us, apparently.
So Wurster hates you now?
I’m not sure. Perhaps we got cut off. Although when I tried re-dialing his number it went to voicemail. I’ve asked to arrange a candidate interview with Volm as soon as possible.
is this Saltman’s seat? are they really trying hard to get me to vote “none of the above?”
Um, what is up with that picture?
The picture is crying out for a caption contest.
Or a photosho-mpetition(TM).
The open seats are Fish’s and Saltzman’s. She’s yet to declare.
So Mary Volm’s relationship status on Facebook says she is in a relationship with Jasun Wurster. They’re dating? And yes I took a screenshot in case it gets changed.
News-wise, I don’t really see how that’s in the public interest. Perhaps you can tell me what the public interest angle might be?
I ask, because I’ve made quite a point lately of asking why a politician’s personal life bears public scrutiny. I think there’s a respectful cut-off point:
http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/ha…
Mary Volm is an amazing artist and profound intellect with city issues.
Mary Volm is just the candidate to bring some fresh air of justice into a stagnant toxic pond of city hall.
The media remind me of piranhas when it comes to community organizing. Wurster is a friend of mine and one of the nicest people I know, not sure about the phone call but I am sure its a minor miscommunication, try not to take it personally.
Saltzmans rusty seat is long over due for some Volm charisma. Other than stating that Saltzman is Chris Humphtries, what has he done in three terms in seat 3?
Although ya’ gotta admit, o Studio: if she wishes to be taken seriously, that is one rotten photo.
if ABS is indicitive of the quality of the supporters that Volm has, then her campaign is screwed. I think some of those sentences were created using a Madlibs book. They just don’t make sense.
Mary’s photo is perfect. She’s the “Cat woman” that’s going to save Gotham City (AKA Portland, OR).

@mattdavis
I just thought it was interesting, but you’re right it isn’t really newsworthy. Newsworthy-wise is he running her campaign for the seat?
What’s that, Janelle? She’s a cat lady?
Hey Mercury, I’m a blonde. Can you delete my double comment? Thanks.
We need more women working for the city–Oregometry. I’m not a literal person.
@Rich Bachelor- There should be a load of pics to sort through for all dynamics of a campaign. If indeed this was a campaign?? I think she should run for mayor, but whats my opinion?
Oliver
@Janelle: Do you even know who Cat Woman is? She’s not the savior of “Gotham City” by any means. Selina Kyle is a jewel thief and vamp. Also, you’re not a literal person… What exactly are you then? A zeitgeist maybe, or a collective unconsious with an internet connection?
I was just being snarky, Janelle. It’s nice to see a woman throw her hat into a race that has a male incumbent and two male declared challengers.
Where are all the 2009 Emerge Oregon program graduates for this council seat? Or are they all in Washington and Clackamas Counties?
Can someone ask Dan Saltman’s girlfriend if he is goign to run for reelection? Seeing how he has not announced, but is thinking about it. Or better yet how about Brendan Finn’s lover? Because we all know that Dan has not announced yet to prevent viable Public Financed candidates from running for his seat.
If your goign to ask Volm’s boyfriend, then is it acceptable to ask any family member of an unfilled candidate about their political decisions based on a FaceBook fan page? Quick Matt, get Nick Fish’s 5 year old daughter on the line about what her daddy is thinking of doing.
As for BlackedOut, there seems to be no limit to what you will do to attack people you do not agree with; way to be a man. If you have such a beef with Volm’s boyfriend, then why not:
(1) woo her with your charm and steal her away from him,
(2) run against Mary Volm for Portland City Council,
(3) get the Mercury to sponsor a cage fight between you and him, Thunderdome style!
The truth is that Mary has more intelligence, class and courage than you will ever have.
You mean wurster wasn’t forthcoming with information to which he was entirely privy? How odd.
This is great news. In a city where, if you don’t follow super closely, it’s hard to distinguish between city council candidates, I now know who not to vote for.
Maybe volm can gather the same high-quality staff, props and volunteers the ant-Adams campaign used: right-wing radio hosts, homophobes, crusty, retired republican business people with nothing better to do, orange floor balloons, anyone else holding grudges against her opponent, mentally unstable people she can manipulate into accusing her opponent of verbal harrassment–you know, the cream of the crop.
@schoolyard journalism
What’s up Jasun? I think two squatting women just about covers my feelings on the matter. It’s nice you’re just using anonymous handles these days.
“no limit to what you will do to attack people you do not agree with”
Did I even attack Volm once? Seriously? If anything I said was an attack in your eyes you have some seriously THIN skin. I asked if Wurster would be running her campaign since it seemed to be something one would want to know. Typically I like to know who my politicians associate themselves with. In this case I would want to know if Volm was having her campaign run by a buddy of Lars Larson. Fair questions are not attacks.
I’m still unclear on whether or not this person I’ve never heard of is actually running for something. And her supporters are incoherent, to put it politely as possible.
@Graham. You’re right Graham cracker. Apparently I wasn’t thinking that it was ok to have an imagination. Catwoman is a character from Batman and I was non-literally talking about Mary’s picture. In my world, Catwoman will be the new superhero to save Gotham City (AKA Portland, Oregon).
I’m just a 31 year old “dumb blonde,” double Scorpio with a moon in Capricorn–nuff said.
(FYI–I have a B.A in which I graduated with a 3.9418 GPA at the top 10% of my class in 2008 from Marylhurst University. Not that it matters, I don’t need people to validate who I am–I know who I am. I’m someone who believes that there needs to be more creative people in politics–someone like Mary.)
My whole point about my Catwoman analogy was that there needs to be more women working for the city of Portland. I’ll forgive you Graham; you must’ve been drinking when you posted your last comment.
Go Mary! Women unite! I’m a voter for real change–not spare change.
[@ two squatting women, Mary is a Democrat–where does your Republican concept come from, your imagination?]
Sincerely,
Janelle
@two squatting women-taking a crap, you sound more like a right wing wacko from a Lars Larson morning show than anyone I have met around this grassroots campaign or any other. Your short sided and quick to judge mentality leaves you in a fish bowl, where you are well fed from your sources..
Bottom line, you will know information when you are told. A huge chunk of your questioning is really none of your f’ing business.
The insults are expected from such bottom feeders as yourself.
Aqua Blue,
I waited the entire recall campaign for other sources to refute “mine.” Guess what? They never did and never will. Your anti-Sam peeps never proffered confirmed facts in response, only baseless denials. Taking a poke at me is part and parcel of your entire approach–all bluster, no substance.
Your pal volm aligned herself with everyone I mentioned above. Eff Ayy Cee Tee. Thoughest will reap what thoughest hath sown. She’s sorely, sorely misguided if she thinks she’ll win a race as a tried-and-true democrat after being part of a campaign that included the names lars larsen and kevin mannix. In Portland, Oregon? Like fish in a barrel for her opponent…
And by the way, blind support for the way they ran that campaign just cuz your palz, is infantile and honestly, true bottom-feeder behavior.
Mary Volm is batshit crazy. I mean top five of the people I’ve ever met who don’t have some kind of legally recognized diagnosis. She was legendary at the city for being totally self-absorbed, unproductive, and loony as a fruitcake.
@Two Women squatting,
The Council race is non-partisan, unless the Mercury changed some guidelines when I wasn’t looking.
Just because you brought it up: First, the Recall campaign is a totally different dynamic than bringing a positive solution to City Hall as MAry Volm represents. Second, I read all the crap that the Mercury crew pieced together like Middle School girls passing notes in the hallway about the recall. There was no right wing funder…no conspiracy, non of that BS is true. Larson never sent a dollar. Mannix never sent a dollar. All complete horse manure, just like Fox News “reporters”.
Interesting to use the metaphor of “shooting fish out of a barrel”. real choice.
You are clueless in what the recall represents, Justice and Integrity in City Hall. Most likely clueless in what a grassroots, community originated, campaign looks like.
I am an activist, community organizer and a free spirit. You are paid to do as you are told by elected officials.
That’s a hawk and a bottom feeder.
@ABS & Janelle: If the two of you represent the level of support and intellectual rigor that can be expected from Ms. Volm’s supporters… well… I feel sorry for whomever her campaign manager turns out to be. It’s tough when the most vocal people on your side come off sounding like insecure defensive wack-jobs.
@schoolyard journalism: One would think that if I was running for a elected position higher than say, neighborhood association board, the person I was dating would know. The fact that that boyfriend is a public figure* who everyone happened to have on speed dial, might mean that if some random rumors showed up, that newspaper reports might ask some questions, you know, in an effort to flesh out the story. The only thing that makes this story school-yard-ee is that after Mr Wurster acted like an ass, Mr Davis decided to report that Mr Wurster was an ass, (while he continued down the list of potential sources trying to get details about the rumor.) A “normal” newspaper wouldn’t report that little detail, where as a blog isn’t limited by column inches so it can report that. I’ve got no problem with all of that in theory, but in this case it isn’t news: we all already knew that Mr Wurster is an ass.
*Adolf Hitler was a public figure too, so don’t take that as a compliment.
@ Graham (blogger profile showing him drinking at the bar) AKA “Graham cracker” and @ two squatting women (AKA oppressive profile name), I’m not sure how you both manage to type on this blog. You both obviously type just to make yourselves feel good and may not be all the way coherent.
You both wouldn’t know diversity if it hit you over the head. When I see political candidates concerned about the marginalized, I listen. I could tell you about what kind I’ve life I came from and what type of family I am related to by their race and sexual orientation—but I don’t have the energy to let you know because you’ve both closed your minds so tightly and have your mind made-up to call anyone who is not voting for your favorite politician a “homophobe,” “wacko,” “right winger” or “Republican.” I am not any of your perceived derogatory labels.
The real issues are what matter to me. From Mary Volm’s FaceBook, I can see she has a genuine interest in helping the homeless/disadvantaged—she certainly is not lazy. I have personally gone to City Hall meetings and other City Hall forum and have seen the same middle class crap over and over again offering solutions only to the business community advantage. I’m not saying that there aren’t good middle class people out there, because there are people like Mary out there who genuinely care about others.
I don’t care who sleeps with whom, but in the state of Oregon, 18 is the age of consent and when I vote, I vote for what actions are being done on the issues that matter to me and who follows the very laws that the people have voted in—government by the people and for the people. Soap opera crap belongs on a soap opera, not at a City Hall. Of course, soap operas are also found in Blogs & newspapers.
Sincerely,
Janelle
@Janelle: Are you really using people’s profiles from Facebook to tell that people really have a “genuine interest in helping the homeless/disadvantaged”? I’ll give you a hint: On Facebook it is very easy to fake “genuine” interests. It is even easier than editing Wikipedia to suit your needs.
P.S. The rest of your comment reads kind of like a Palin speech. Not that I’m judging* you or anything, but it seems to be a random collection of soundbites strung together without any thought as to if they make sense together or not. Your last paragraph is probably worst in that regard: Are you talking about Mary and Jasun in the beginning, and are they underage, or what exactly do you mean? Then you go on to talk about how you aren’t going to vote for convicts, which as far as I know, there aren’t any on the ballot in the first place. And then you talk about soap operas in city hall, which are quite a bit different than the legal system. (Although I do agree that soap operas don’t belong at city hall, which is why I’m not going to vote for anyone that is dating Jasun. (Unlike you, I do care who sleeps with who: I think your personal life says a lot about you. More than say, your Facebook page.))
*I’m lying: People judge each other all the time, and I am judging you there, and every time you (or anyone else) does anything. But I also judge myself every time I do anything, so don’t worry, you aren’t special.
@Graham-I got your “intellectual rigor” right here, douche bag. You attack, you create rumors, and then insult me because I challenge your BS. I have nothing to do with the campaign except cheerleader and motivator, out of the gate.
You and crime fighter partner Matt Davis pulled a FB page posted at midnight, and post your story or assumed story-blog, inaccurate. Without a single thread or source to back it up except disturbing Wurster at home. How would you like calls asking stupid questions on your cell phone? think about that.
Your whole mission was to make Wurster an ass. And you call him one now. Thats called reporting? Send a resume over to Fox News and get the hell outta Portland.
@ Matthew D.–get a clue. Matthew, I never made any comments to you and you are extremely disrespectful as is all the morons voting for any white, middle-class male idiot. I will not vote for whoever is a white, male, middle-class person who does the same stupid politics over and over again. As long as there are options, I prefer anyone but a white male; I will vote for someone who cares about the marginalized.
This US society is historically extremely oppressive due to a lot of white males’ middle-class ideologies. I’m for new people, with new ideas and I don’t have the energy to explain who I am to you Matthew, because yet again, saying my comment “reads like a Palin speech” is BS. Matthew, you sound like a “right winger, closeted Republican” as far as I’m considered with your inaccurate judgments. Go back to school.
“…you are extremely disrespectful as is all the morons voting for any white, middle-class male idiot” is a wonderful piece of random word generation.
Look, for any further discussion about whether or not supporters of Mary Volm are conservative or not, I actually suggest checking her FB friends list. There is a pretty long list of people who quite proudly describe themselves as conservative (and people who list the page “Being Conservative” as being of interest to them), so I fail to see why there would be any discussion on that one. Maybe she’s not, but her friends certainly seem to be.
And I probably shouldn’t even open this can of shit, but: remember the “Year of the Woman”, 1994? We were briefly proud of ourselves for electing more women to congress than any previous year…This pride quickly faded as we realized that almost all of them were reactionary shills whom the GOP had thrown up to make themselves look less…Y’know…Sexist. My point? Sometimes white ladies will…”do the same stupid politics over and over again,” to borrow a phrase.
@ Rich–ha ha ha ha–very funny. Once again, a white-middle class male shenanigan. All you white-middle class males can not hide your oppressiveness, women-hating ideology.
The first rule about running for political office: Be smart enough not to post stupid photos on your Facebook page. The second, LOCK YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
And speaking of ha ha ha ha: everybody who needs a cheap laugh should go check out the only other comment that Janelle has written on this blog. It’s impolite to laugh at schizophrenics, but c’mon…
@Janelle: “get a clue”, “you sound like a ‘right winger, closeted Republican'”, “your inaccurate judgments”, “Go back to school”
Who exactly is “extremely disrespectful” here?
Aqua Blue,
So you’re saying no right wing funding? Ron Tonkin and the property managment company where you were headquartered give to which party again? Mannix’s signature gathering involvement in the anti-Sam’s second thrust (How’s that going, by the way? Got some falsified numbers you’d like to share? 90, 100 thousand signatures, I’m sure)? Did the entire campaign kick off at a hot dog place on Hawthorne where some right-wing radio twat held a broadcast? Wasn’t Lars there, too? ALL facts say yes.
Your posts here are a microcosm of all that’s fucked up about the anti-Sam campaign. Tons of denial, no factual support. Lots of pretense about acting on some higher plane when really you’re all just a bunch of dupliciious, self-absorbed, self-congratulatory boobs (“I’m an activist! I’m a community organizer!”).
It’s not a pissing contest over who cares more about the city and who’s more personally involved in the process. You have no idea what anyone here who takes exception to the anti-Sam campaign does for their community. Yet it doesn’t stop you from making silly assumptions about individuals to suit your empty arguments and name-call.
Face it, toots: you and your ilk totally BLEW a chance to gather sympathy and bring people into your fold (I was certainly willing and waiting with an open mind) by denying all that was fucked up and off-putting about your campaign.
As for volm, again, you are DREAMING and frankly, bat-shit crazy if you think she’s going to win a race connected, even indirectly, to the people I’ve mentioned above.
So essentially Janelle is a defensive bigot and ABS is a deranged schizo.
The candidate is dating someone who failed to show any leadership skills on the highest profile political campaign in PDX during the last year. The copy on her website is in desperate need of a copy editor and she has posted no positions or platforms. So all we have to go off of for her judging her worthiness as a candidate are her Facebook page (I refuse to use Facebook, so I’ve got no idea what it says) and her vocal supporters. Still not looking good for Ms. Volm.
@rich bachelor: Thanks for the laugh.
@Janelle: Okay, you are a hypocrite, so I’m gonna make a list of what is wrong with you:
1) You have a criminal conviction, yet you don’t want to vote for convicts because we voted on these laws, (although see below.) (Did you know it is possible to get most convictions sealed after a few years. Unless it wasn’t something something “minor,” but actually something serious like murder, you can get it removed from your record. Wait, I’m mad at you, why am I trying to help you out? What is wrong with ME?)
2) You don’t have the energy to explain why my judgments are wrong, but you do have the energy to insult me for them.
3) You complain about people being disrespectful by calling them names.
4) You tried to recall someone even though you couldn’t be bothered to vote in the election in the first place.
5) You admit that you’ll vote for/against someone because of their race or sex, (Hint: Just cause you are a different type of bigot than most bigots, doesn’t mean you aren’t one,) but still claim to be open minded.
6) You can’t be bothered to do the simplest of things to actually help the situations you complain about, specifically, to vote.
7) We didn’t actually vote on [most] laws, we elected people, specifically, [mostly] white-UPPER class males who did. On one hand you like those laws yet you blame those same people for causing all the problems in the first place.
In the non-hypocritical, just stupid, category goes:
A) You don’t understand that someone who calls himself “rich” isn’t middle class.
B) You got in trouble for being disrespectful at a meeting, (not for your viewpoint, I happen to know that the city is very patent with dealing with opposing viewpoints, but for being disrespectful,) and you didn’t understand that.
What did I miss? (I can’t believe I pulled that entire list out of 8 comments. Sheesh.)
@ Graham, two squatting women, rich bachelor, never mind that shit, and Matthew D.: I compiled a list of your comments which the majority of them are sexist against women and labeling others as “schizos”, “schizophrenics,” and “batshit crazy.”
All of you (the people I just listed) must’ve voted for Commissioner Dan Saltzman in the past. Some people who are really diagnosed as “schizophrenic” get killed by the police here in Portland, Oregon. The people who’ve made those quotes are listed below (Graham, rich bachelor, and never mind that shit were the ones making derogatory comments about schizophrenics and the mentally ill.) Now that is purely distasteful. I would never change who I would vote for from the likes of all of you.
As long as there are people working in the city of Portland and those who vote for them are disrespectful to the homeless, the marginalized and the mentally ill (or so called mentally people by people who aren’t qualified to diagnosis others) your own bigotry needs to be pointed out.
I believe in setting the facts straight and I’m not a bigot. I give respect where respect is due. Calling you guys oppressive middle-class white males who hate women, is much nicer than calling people “wack-jobs.”
Graham: “if ABS is indicitive [sic] of the quality of the supporters that Volm has, then her campaign is screwed. I think some of those sentences were created using a Madlibs book. They just don’t make sense.”
Graham: “@ABS & Janelle: If the two of you represent the level of support and intellectual rigor that can be expected from Ms. Volm’s supporters… well… I feel sorry for whomever [sic] her campaign manager turns out to be.

@rich bachelor: You know, I’m sorry you can’t read very well. Try Hooked on Phonics.
Here’s taking some of my energy to tell you who I am: I come from a single-parent family raised by a mother and two other siblings. I have two-African American half-sisters (we have the same white mother, different father’s)and my uncle is a homosexual in a longterm relationship. I’m a Libertarian and I’m not voting for whoever you vote for. Voting for members in the city of Portland is nonpartisan, anyways.
@ rich bachelor: Where are these facts that you are making up from comments? I never got in trouble at any meeting and I never said I have a criminal conviction.
Rich bachelor: Are you Mayor Adams? I think so.
Who are you Matthew D.–(that last comment was intended for you, however I still wouldn’t be suprised if rich bachelor is Mayor Adams)? Is that just the same as Matt Davis? People who are afraid to identify themselves have things to hide. I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.
@Two woman squatting, The first grassroots attempt at a recall is what we were talking about. This was a progressive movement with no rascist, bigot, homophobic campaign as you wrote over and over again and parrot in your blogs here now. All total complete horse manure. In this second attempt under Avel Gordly, it has generated some huge chunks of money and I havent read where its coming from…..Im not working on the recall. Tonkin said publicly that he was to run for Mayor if Adams is recalled, that is his motivation, not to support grassroots movement for justice. Mannix has never been around the first recall, thats delusional. If I had a mental disorder you would be infringing on my ADA rights. I thank you for that disrespect.
Your tired out BS machine, on the Admas recall being Right-Winger conspiracy, has lost its momentum. Do yourself a favor, and the city a favor and stop puking up blog nonsense and rumor and report some news.
Janelle: Do you consider yourself a bigot? Because you have repeatedly made bigoted statements. Is there a reason why you jumped straight in to ad hominem attacks against people who dared to criticize your chosen candidate? Why are you so quick to tell us your GPA and educational background(protip: no one cares)? Your ability to carry yourself and to promote the message of the candidate you’re supporting are sadly lacking. I would recomend that you take a step back and examine your writing style and motivations. Are you supporting Ms. Volm simply because you identify with a single mother? Or do you agree with her platform (protip: please say what her platform is so that we can debate things that actually matter)?
@ABS: Do you understand what the Americans With Disabilities Act is and what it does? There is absolutely no way that Two Squatting Women could possibly be violating your rights.
Aqua Blue,
Wow. You are really a kook. Progressive movement? What radio show host showed up for the kick-off on Hawthorne?
As for Tonkin, he gave to the second campaign. He lives in California part-time so I highly, highly doubt he’d waste his time and run for mayor.
Mannix is “around” the second recall.
Now, let’s try again. Can you factually refute any of these?
If you can’t, don’t waste any more time replying. Your reading comprehension is poor, your logic is absent but your general kookiness is on full display, so you’ve got that going for you.
Janelle,
Um, unthinking, hair-trigger accusations of “misogynist!” are so very old and pointless. What are you, a first year Women’s Studies major?
I’m not sure if your “[sic]” is correct, although I don’t know for sure. I mean, “does” is the correct word if I’m referring to the plural, which I am, although with the parentheses in there, I don’t know if the sentence should be constructed based on the parenthetical statement being there, or if the sentence should be constructed without it. I know if I was using brackets, that I should put the does inside the brackets, but using brackets on your own writing requires more of an ego than I have.
As for the actual meat of your latest comment, I only have one question: Do you automatically assume that any time anyone complains about someone who happens to be female, even though they don’t complain about that specifically, nor even use terms that would imply that the are blaming the gender at all, (terms like “blond,” for instance,) that they are being sexist?
If that is what this is about then there is no point in discussing this (or any) issue with you. If I say something you don’t like, you are immediately going to take it as an insult on your gender, not as a comment on your position on an issue, and as such it doesn’t matter if I’m correct, (or not,) if the argument is good, (or not,) there is simply no way that we can ever have a productive discussion.
That is similar to the problem with Potter actually. He took everything very personally. If someone voted against him, (and guess what, if you are going to vote on things, there is a very good chance that people will vote for the other side of the issue,) he’d get upset personally, and stay upset for months. The time he walked out of city council meeting when he wasn’t getting his way was the most obvious instance of that, but it was far from the only time…
@Janelle: You said you got in trouble at a meeting and have a criminal conviction here:
http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blogto…
Given that it is the same username, GPA, and writing style, I’m guessing that was you.
I’m not Matt Davis, nor am I Sam Adams. My name is Matthew. Matt Davis has my address, Sarah Mirk and I have talked on the phone about city politics that she knew I was involved in from another angle unrelated to this blog. And another 10 or so Mercury employees have met me in person. All of those things happened long before this discussion started.
Speaking of which: Graham, do you have that photo of me arm wrestling the editor? I thought it was on your flicker account, but I can’t find it. I want to replace my profile picture…
Matthew D. (Matt Davis?)–you were not the person making the sexist comments (that would be Graham, rich bachelor, two squatting women, and never mind that shit), but you did make rude comments, inaccurate comments and made up comments I didn’t even make.
So here’s this, Janelle: just in case anyone else ever asks you, it is not per se sexist to be against a candidate who happens to be a woman.
Back to that class of ’94 argument I tried to make earlier, Linda Smith was elected by Washington state that year. She lost her job the next time around. This was not because she was a woman, a Republican, or even a conservative: she was mean, batshit crazy and ‘reactionary’ was a better way to describe her political views.
But since she’s a woman, she’s better than…Whatever lineup of epithets you got? What about Michelle Bachmann? What about Sarah Palin? They’re women. You like them too?
And hell…I don’t even know who Mary Volm is. Never even heard of her. If you recall, all I said initially was that she needed to get a campaign photo that didn’t look like a still from softcore porn. I note it’s been taken down.
So let’s lay it out: I don’t have a problem with either gender as a whole, actually; only a zealot does. I do have a problem with assholes, though. And I’m not as patient with the clinically insane as I once was, but that’s my problem, really.
(Why would I be Sam Adams? I’ve always found his ideas to be as expensive as they are unworkable, and have never hesitated to say so on this blog specifically.)
Interesting Matthew D. You are off topic by bringing up a September 1, 2009 blog of mine here since this blog is about Mary Volm.
Once again, though, you distorted my comments as I never “got in trouble” at that meeting. In fact, Mayor Adams shook my hand after that meeting and then again at the Ground Breaking ceremony for the new Day Access Center.
Janelle: Please point out the sexist comments that I’ve made. I can’t seem to find any.
@Graham–scroll up, I compiled a list.
@Janelle: In that case, please retract all of your statements saying that I’ve made sexist remarks as I have made none.
Fine. I’ll admit that item B was a mistake, that I messed up on that.
Does that mean that #1-7 and item A still stand?
@Janelle
Graham is right. There was nothing sexist about what he said. If you actually think that what he wrote was sexist you’re just daft.
Alrighty boys (Graham, Matthew D., two-squatting women,Blackouted, and rich bachelor) rather than repeat myself over and over again. Just reread my comments and think about how you are turning off people from wanting to vote for whatever candidate you will vote for. Also, reread your own comments, do you feel good calling people: “schizos”, “schizophrenics,” “bat shit crazy, “wack-jobs” or distorting comments/posting inaccurate statements calling people “right wing” etc.? Is that going to win over the public who are reading this blog to want to vote for whomever you are voting for? Think about it. Reflect–maybe stare at a wall and Zen out.
What kind of tactic can you do to save your face? Is it possible for you to maybe post comments that would try to persuade why people should vote for other candidates, for example? Or are you all just interested in childish games?
@Janelle
Seriously…what are you even talking about? Please tell me you’re going to be Volm’s campaign spokesman. It would be an unintentional comedy level of 9 at least.
Please–where do you get your imagination BlackedOuted? Does the distortion of people’s comments ever stop?
@Janelle: As near as I can tell, you are the only person making sexist comments. I would kindly ask you to stop doing so. Your misandry is not appreciated at all.
Oh my “misandry” is not appreciated by Graham, huh. Respect given is respect due. Either is your attacks on labeling women as a “schizo” etc. That is sexist. Women are also the gender that is normally diagnosed with a mental illness. I find it amusing that you’re trying to cover up your sexist remarks–trying to turn the tables on me. You are sexist Graham as long as you call a women a schizo in one breath.
Getting in on (what I hope is) the tail end of this tome, what I have gleaned is:
– picking on the mentally ill isn’t nice
– people who don’t like mayors who lied to get elected aren’t nice
– rich bachelors probably aren’t
– and they’re not Dean Martin either
– squatting women can make sexist comments and not be called out because…well..they’re women. Squatting.
– facebook is the only place to reliable info on anyone and needs to be taken seriously
– a politician’s personal life bears public scrutiny. Sam?
– a politician’s personal life does not bear public scrutiny. Sam?
– Saltzman has a rusty seat
– you can edit Wikipedia to suit your needs
– the class of ’92 was unceremoniously dumped in ’94 and the bad guys retained control until 2006
– daft is a funny word
– Adams’ ideas are expensive and unworkable
– Hitler was a public figure
– Nick Fish has a 5-yr old daughter
– only zealots have gender problems
Did I leave anything out?
Regardless, ANY new blood on this City Council would be welcome. The 3 Musketeers of Sam, Saltzman, and Leonard have run this city into the ground. The empty storefronts downtown are multiplying. Only daily divine intervention will tell you which streets are open or which ones allow legal right or left turns. Bike lanes are becoming the bane of everyone’s existence.
The middle aged white men have done enough damage. Volm may have enough knowledge about the inner workings at City Hall that she’ll know how to avoid the pitfalls of timidity that currently hobble Amanda. After all, our illustrious Mayor saw fit to downsize her one month before her 20-year mark (according to today’s Oregonian). That certainly doesn’t sound vindictive, does it? Or was he that threatened?
And from what I hear, Volm’s probably got more balls than the rest of the Council combined. I say give her a chance. She can’t do any worse than Danny boy.
“The empty storefronts downtown are multiplying.”
And how much of that has to do with the city council rather than the overall economy? Speaking of storefronts, outside of Portland, the company which owns Clackamas Town Center has filed for bankruptcy. Is that the fault of the Clackamas County Commissioners?
“Only daily divine intervention will tell you which streets are open”
Try http://www.keepportlandmoving.org for construction info.
“or which ones allow legal right or left turns.”
Care to elaborate on that one?
“Bike lanes are becoming the bane of everyone’s existence.”
On this point we totally agree. Our bike network isn’t in the greatest shape, despite Portland’s reputation. We need better-maintained, wider bike lanes, and a lot more of them. They are remarkably cost-effective yet paradoxically underfunded.
@womenvote – Where did you see the story that said she was fired “one month before her 20-year mark”? The only story I saw did not mention that detail.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2009/12/mary_volm_former_transportatio.html
Very refreshing, funny, and to the point WomenVote.
Funny because you are a woman who didn’t vote for any Portland officials despite being registered in Portland?
Lol–please @ show me. I vote. I’m a registered/practicing voter for over 13 years. I can’t help it if you’re not literate. I didn’t vote for the current Portland city officials. What that means, is who I voted for didn’t get elected. Apparently, comprehension was never your strong suit, hopefully you can get help.
Janelle, according to your own statements, you would have been under 18-year-old when you started voting. Have you been engaging in criminal activity for longer than you’ve already admitted?
posted by Janelle:
“Also, reread your own comments, do you feel good calling people: “schizos”, “schizophrenics,” “bat shit crazy, “wack-jobs” or distorting comments/posting inaccurate statements calling people “right wing” etc.?”
Janelle, do you feel good about calling people “not literate”?
@How very questionable–huh? Wow, lol. Ok–I’ll help you with the math. I’m 31. 18 + 13 = 31. I’m a little over 31 + one month + some days–which means I’ve been voting for over 18 + years.
@ blownspeakers–I mentioned to @ show me that I hope he/she can get some help. What is wrong with that? Saying someone is “not literate” was stating a fact. That person was saying that I didn’t vote for any city of Portland official and that was never stated.
Chill–please. If you scroll up and read the whole blog, you will see who the mean people are. I’ve been defending the verbal assaults at me.
Whoops–missed my typo. I’ve been voting for 13+ years.
BTW–If anyone believes in the US criminal justice system, you’re a criminal in my book. I don’t care what middle-class closed minded people think–that’s why this country is bankrupt. The worst criminals out there are the corporations running the government.
No Janelle who is also a series of z’s, and who is also WomenVote, here’s the thing: you keep making your stand at the wrong place (and seem to never leave your computer, which is bad sign too).
For instance, if you really wanted to shame me, you could have kept after me about the categorical error I made: I’m really not qualified to diagnose mental illness. You almost started to do it, in fact, but got lost in your sexist generalizations that were mixed with childish economic political generalizations.
But the thing is, whether or not you’re really schizophrenic per se is no longer the point. I’ve spent a good long many years talking with all kinds of people because it seemed salutary to do so. And what I’ve noticed is that people who form paragraphs like:
“Yesterday, I called the House of the Majority in Salem, Oregon and was told that Oregon employers can search as far back as someone’s juvenile criminal background. With Oregon, currently being number four in unemployment and a few months back, number one in homelessness, something needs to be down so those who have a criminal background may be able to get a job.” All, in all, I enjoyed attending the meeting, despite people who may have misunderstood me, a native Oregonian born in Portland, OR but raised in the Oregon Columbia Gorge area with previous homelessness experience as well a minor criminal background from almost seven years ago that still creates employment barriers for myself and others like me.”
tend to be people who have recently gone off their meds. You remind me of the guy who used to haunt the streets downtown with the long, stream-of-consciousness screeds about how you should not accept barcodes in your skin. Or the rash of literature left all around Portland in the early ’90’s that suggested that Safeway was just another arm of the well-known Mormon organized, ritualized child molestation cult.
What you all have in common is the loose sentence structure, persecution complexes, likelihood to over-share (who the fuck cares about your gay uncle? who asked?), tendency to categorize not only yourself but anyone else who comes near you…And above all else, this weird identification of some nobody mid-level ex-bureaucrat as your savior, for some reason. It doesn’t make sense to the rest of us for very clear reasons.
I’m done with you now. For the same reasons I don’t try to reason with barking dogs.
“If anyone believes in the US criminal justice system, you’re a criminal in my book.” -Janelle
Christ… with friends like these…
Listen, I am not WomenVote. Also, rich bachelor–I am actually a college student who finished my finals recently. Likewise, you can’t even type very well at all. The trick is to type in a Word document, and then paste it into your post.
In addition, this is a public Blog–no one asks for anyone’s information, people provide it–duh. Anyways, if your profile name indicates that you are in fact a “rich bachelor,” I feel sorry for you. I mean that sincerely. I’d rather be poor/young then rich/old/and alone. I also don’t need to try to explain myself to anyone, nor the injustices that have occurred in my life. But I do because I’m interested in helping to create a better system where people like you don’t degrade people and write them off as mentally ill. I hope you can realize the harm you are doing by continuing to publically stigmatize and insult women as well as mentally ill or perceived mentally ill people.
“Likewise, you can’t even type very well at all. The trick is to type in a Word document, and then paste it into your post.”
If you’re a day older than 15, I’ll eat my hat.
@ This keeps getting better: Please, start eating your hat–I’m 31. While you’re at it, remember the poor and share your food.
Then perhaps you should start acting you age, instead of the stream of juvenile ad hominems you’ve unleashed so far.
I am acting my age–that is so rude. BTW–I’ve asked the Portland Mercury to delete my profile and all my comments as I revealed too much about who I am and people continue to verbally assualt me like you–This keeps getting better. So go have a party. I am not a robot without feelings. If anyone would read this whole blog, you’ll see that there have been a lot of meanness directed at me.
I don’t know, Janelle Zzzzzzz, are you young and poor or are you 31? Are you a college student or did you graduate in 2008? Are you a woman who makes stupid little blonde jokes about herself, or are you a person who has a mind so finely tuned toward misogyny that she rails against people who criticize any woman for any reason–even valid ones?
As far as asking people if it’s “possible for [them] to maybe post comments that would try to persuade why people should vote for other candidates,” I would like to point out that the people on this post that you seem to dislike so much are not trying, at this point, to indicate support of any political candidates; they just don’t seem to like you very much. And I’m with them. If I might make a suggestion, I am thinking that perhaps this is not the blog for you. Also this: please don’t pretend to be a feminist anymore. I fear it will give feminists a bad name.
@Janelle
You’re priceless. The unintentional comedy level from you has easily eclipsed 9. You’re at a full bore 10 right now. You may be able to ramp it up to 11 if you really start trying…or not trying…since it’s unintentional on your part and all.
BlackedOut, are you laughing at her because she’s a girl?
“Verbal assault”, Janelle? Am I incorrect that you made all of the following comments?:
“You’re right Graham cracker.”
“You both obviously type just to make yourselves feel good and may not be all the way coherent.”
“You both wouldn’t know diversity if it hit you over the head.”
“you’ve both closed your minds so tightly and have your mind made-up”
“as is all the morons voting for any white, middle-class male”
“Go back to school.”
“Once again, a white-middle class male shenanigan. “
“I’m sorry you can’t read very well. Try Hooked on Phonics.”
“If anyone believes in the US criminal justice system, you’re a criminal in my book.”
And this last bit meshes so nicely with your comment about asking the Merc to delete your comments because you chose to over share:
“I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.”
@blownspeakers
Yes. That’s exactly it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the mindless commentary, slandering anyone that disagrees with her and then saying they’re slandering her. It’s right out of the Sarah Palin playbook. Palin has also reached the unintentional comedy level of 10. Her twitter feed is comedy gold. If Sarah Palin were a man her mindless commentary and absolute ignorance would be completely acceptable.
Check it out. I never started any venom. I wasn’t the person who starting hurling insults. You see when people don’t read the whole story; they don’t get the whole story. All my quotes you’ve quoted were counterattacks to verbal assaults not started by me. Scroll all the way to the top–work your way down. I’ve never claimed to be a feminist, misogynist, Liberal, Democrat, etc.. No, I seriously asked the Portland Mercury to delete my profile/comments. I’ll even call them tomorrow to follow-up with that. I don’t want any piece of me to be in a blog bowl of venom here, purely hateful. I, mean, what point do you have to continue to tear me down, for those who’ve tried to do that? I’m so not into politics–I’m into social justice and I vote (just the basics). Again, I counterattacked insults directed at me. I love freedom of speech, not the kind in this blog.
Please–I’m not a Republican, not a right winger, and not a Sarah Palin fan. Yet again-lame comments, distorted comments and old comments.
So nobody actually wants to talk about bike lanes and where to find construction info, and which streets are legal for left turns? I thought for a moment, based on what I had read here, that it was very, very, very important. I’m disappointed.
Maybe a change of topic is what is required to make everyone love and hug each other: Which sugar-free chewing gum goes best with a nice bottle of Cabernet?
“I love freedom of speech, not the kind in this blog.”
Huh? Please get some rest, Janelle; you’ve gone from puerile aggression to comic incoherence.
@Janelle: You talk about “reading the whole story”… Yet you don’t do that yourself. Check the comments. You started insulting me because I corrected you on Catwoman. This is an argument that you are not going to win. You just keep digging yourself into deeper and deeper holes.
Protip: The Mercury won’t delete your account or your comments. Believe me when I say that people have tried and failed. Also, the internet doesn’t forget; ever: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfxd9b6v_1f…
@Bob R.
It’s a flavor of sugarless gum I call Makers Mark. It goes great with misogyny and cabernet.
@Jenelle
Actually Graham corrected your use of Catwoman as Mary Volm as a modern day Catwoman. Then you started hurling insults and telling everyone about your GPA. Thanks for that.
Thanks for the tip, BlackedOut. I googled it and apparently Makers Mark sugar-free gum only comes in bottle form. That’s a bit unconventional but I’m willing to give it a try. In lieu of a standard unit of gum measurement (sticks and chicklets — no misogyny intended, really), how much Makers Mark should one chew before taking a sip of Cabernet?
Perhaps more importantly, how many sips of Makers Mark does it take before discerning legal left turns isn’t a problem anymore? (Please note that this is structurally similar to how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop, but I’m not going there because that one clearly is misogynist and I’ve never licked a tootsie in my adult life.)
Personally I don’t think the Palin analogy fits, that’s going a bit too far.
But I’d like to hear from the commenters if anyone thinks there’s more of a Harriet Christian vibe going on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KACQuZVAE3s
Some people mistake that for Palinesque, but it has its own distinct flavor — it’s a cocktail with an extra splash of bitters.
Not that I’m ascribing such a thing to anyone here (heaven forbid, it’s Christmas), but I’m curious to know what others think.
@zzzzzzz: “No, I seriously asked the Portland Mercury to delete my profile/comments. I’ll even call them tomorrow to follow-up with that.”
And they will seriously post about you on page 1 of blogtown tomorrow(today) if you do that. The best way to make this go away is to be a big person and walk away. Can you do that? I don’t think you can, I think you’ll have to post a follow up to my comments, and that you won’t be happy unless you get the last word in. Of course, on the odd chance that I’m wrong about you, I’ll go ahead and post this in this comment:
Last! I win!
@ Matthew D.–look at your childish reaction “Last! I win!” I’m glad that this is all public record, can be printed and taken to the proper place.
People who make remarks against mentally ill/perceived mentally ill people towards women, need to be held accountable.
@Janelle C Jeffries: Nicely played! You really showed him.
@Graham
Oooooh dis…
People, stop the dogpile on Janelle. She’s just trying to make this city a better place, just like Catwoman. She’s just a bit misunderstood; please friend her on Facebook to learn about the real Janelle:
http://www.facebook.com/people/Janelle-C-Jeffries/42007137
“I’m glad that this is all public record, can be printed and taken to the proper place.
People who make remarks against mentally ill/perceived mentally ill people towards women, need to be held accountable.”
Ms. Jeffries , are you actually suggesting vigilante justice??? Despite your hatred for the American legal system, you state that you want to print up this “evidence” (of a non-crime?) and bring it to “the proper place” and make sure people are “held accountable”. This is actually frightening.
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your poor writing and/or reasoning skills are obfuscating your actual intent; please clarify, because as it stands your message seems dangerously sociopathic.
@Enough already
She likes Matisyahu. That’s a deal breaker right away.
This is not ok that you character assasinate me like this. I certainly haven’t tried to search for information on anyone of you. This is extremely disrespectful and an invasion. This blog is supposed to be about Mary Volm. Why you wanted to try to make me a spectacle here, is beyond me. If you are not being disrespectul, why not tell all the blogging audience what your Facebook profile is? That would be equality.
If blogging activity and the number of Mary Volm haters is any indication of who will win this race; it looks like hands down Mary by a mile!
That’s an awfully big ‘if’.
I was right, you can’t.
Where did I talk about the mentally ill in the first place? Where did I say that it had anything to do with being female? YOU said that part, let me show you the quote: “Women are also the gender that is normally diagnosed with a mental illness.” I’ve said nothing about it at all. But since you brought it up, if your statistic about women and mental health is true, (I don’t know if it is or not, but you said it, not me,) then I suspect that it might have more to do with diagnostic rates than actual rates of occurrence. Of the people in my extended family, the men almost all think that they are “fine,” (including the one who committed suicide two years ago.) They aren’t, (obviously, since they are killing themselves,) but they’d never admit it. Almost all the women go ahead and accept the diagnoses and get treatment. Since, unless they are completely insane, it is very hard to diagnose a mental health patient who doesn’t think there is anything wrong with them, the women get diagnosed at higher rates. I’ll admit that my family suffers from small sample size and all that, but if I had to guess, the diagnostic rates have very little to do with the incidence rates.
For the record: I see no problem putting a person with a mental illness in office, if they can function normally with treatment. I also wouldn’t vote for someone with an open head wound who kept bleeding on everyone and passing out yet kept telling everyone they were fine and they didn’t need to see a doctor…
Friends! Brethren! /b/Towners! It is obvious that Janelle Jeffries is suffering some sort of mental disorder. I am not qualified or certified in accurately diagnosing what sort of problem she has, but I am qualified in stating that we are not helping her by poking her with metaphorical sticks.
I feel that we should back off and hopefully she will stop acting out and maybe realize that she is engaging in unhealthy behaviors. I can only wish her the best and hope that she receives the sort of help and mental health support that she so obviously and desperately needs.
Hi kids! Just checking in… how’s it going in here? Good? Good. Keep one foot on the floor, okay? Okay.
Who wants pizza rolls?
We’re just using your name, Janelle C. Jeffries, which you provided us with pride:
“I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.” -Janelle C. Jeffries
Have you had a change of mind?
Y’know Graham, it’s a bit late for that, don’t you think? And the fact remains that whatever static this particular poster recieved was pretty par for the course as far as Internet bandinage goes. That she responded with a string of freshman-year-seminar insults isn’t even troubling, just dumb. I’m gonna say she’s got some problems, yes, but I don’t think that lets her off the hook for making a bunch of unfounded accusations.
I mean, no one at all attacked her on the basis of gender, but apparently one of the demons did, to hear her tell it. And I hold it as a rule that when someone decides to go after your choice of screen name first and foremost, they lack anything in the way of a valid argument.
The main reason to stop engaging her at all at this point is that we’re only playing into her larger persecution issues (she just wrote a note about it on her Facebook page, actually). She thinks that the rest of us meanies want to hurt her due to our financial status that she knows nothing about, our great love of oppressing others that comes with being “middle-class”…Knowing nothing about who we are or what we do for a living…And that being from some sort of traumatic background makes her a better person, which it surely does not.
So hey; fuck ignorance. I call bullshit on bullshitters, even when they’re kinda damaged.
Hi Wm. Steven Humphrey, as you can see, there are several commenters’s who are slandering me here. I am not mentally ill, neither is Mary Holm. This blog is supposed to be about her. The comments here are totally off topic, I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.
Several commenters’ here have called people “schizos”, “schizophrenic”, “bat shit crazy”, etc. This is truly sickening, especially since city of Portland officials killed a man who had schizophrenia.
I’ve called Matt Davis and have sent him an e-mail. Why does the Portland Mercury have options to report comments for being off topic, threatening and or spam if they don’t do anything about them?
So now nobody wants to talk about Makers Mark and Cabernet either? (Not to mention one way streets and sugar-free gum.)
Has this town lost it’s verve?
“several bloggers here […] make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
Could you cite these several posts, Janelle? I don’t see anything that would make this true in any way.
@Janelle Jeffries: The first step in solving our problems is accepting that we have said problems. This is often the most difficult step. I really do hope that you seek some sort of counseling to help you deal with your persecution issues. I would recommend Cascaida Behavioral Healthcare (simply because they came up first on a Google search). http://www.cascadiabhc.org/ or 503.238.0769

Janelle, is this libel? Why not? You seem to be declaring someone illiterate (which is really not a humorous condition to be used to hurt people) on this very forum. Please tell us why your character attacks and ad hominems aren’t libelous to sever posters.
p.s. That quote is from you, if you’ve forgotten (NOT AMNESIAC-IST).
@ oddly inconsistent–reposted for you:
@ Graham, two squatting women, rich bachelor, never mind that shit, and Matthew D.: I compiled a list of your comments which the majority of them are sexist against women and labeling others as “schizos”, “schizophrenics,” and “batshit crazy.”
All of you (the people I just listed) must’ve voted for Commissioner Dan Saltzman in the past. Some people who are really diagnosed as “schizophrenic” get killed by the police here in Portland, Oregon. The people who’ve made those quotes are listed below (Graham, rich bachelor, and never mind that shit were the ones making derogatory comments about schizophrenics and the mentally ill.) Now that is purely distasteful. I would never change who I would vote for from the likes of all of you.
As long as there are people working in the city of Portland and those who vote for them are disrespectful to the homeless, the marginalized and the mentally ill (or so called mentally people by people who aren’t qualified to diagnosis others) your own bigotry needs to be pointed out.
I believe in setting the facts straight and I’m not a bigot. I give respect where respect is due. Calling you guys oppressive middle-class white males who hate women, is much nicer than calling people “wack-jobs.”
Graham: “if ABS is indicitive [sic] of the quality of the supporters that Volm has, then her campaign is screwed. I think some of those sentences were created using a Madlibs book. They just don’t make sense.”
Graham: “@ABS & Janelle: If the two of you represent the level of support and intellectual rigor that can be expected from Ms. Volm’s supporters… well… I feel sorry for whomever [sic] her campaign manager turns out to be. It’s tough when the most vocal people on your side come off sounding like insecure defensive wack-jobs. . . . So essentially Janelle is a defensive bigot and ABS is a deranged schizo.”
Graham @ Janelle: “What exactly are you then? A zeitgeist maybe, or a collective unconsious [sic] with an internet connection?”
two squatting women: “Maybe volm can gather the same high-quality staff, props and volunteers the ant-Adams campaign used: right-wing radio hosts, homophobes, crusty, retired republican business people with nothing better to do, orange floor balloons, anyone else holding grudges against her opponent, mentally unstable people she can manipulate into accusing her opponent of verbal harrassment [sic]–you know, the cream of the crop.”
rich bachelor: “And her supporters are incoherent, to put it politely as possible. . . . And I probably shouldn’t even open this can of shit, but: remember the “Year of the Woman”, 1994? We were briefly proud of ourselves for electing more women to congress than any previous year…This pride quickly faded as we realized that almost all of them were reactionary shills whom the GOP had thrown up to make themselves look less…Y’know…Sexist. My point? Sometimes white ladies will…”do the same stupid politics over and over again,” to borrow a phrase. . . . And speaking of ha ha ha ha: everybody who needs a cheap laugh should go check out the only other comment that Janelle has written on this blog. It’s impolite to laugh at schizophrenics, but c’mon…”
Never mind that shit: “Mary Volm is batshit crazy. I mean top five of the people I’ve ever met who don’t have some kind of legally recognized diagnosis. She was legendary at the city for being totally self-absorbed, unproductive, and loony as a fruitcake.”
Matthew D.: “P.S. The rest of your comment reads kind of like a Palin speech. Not that I’m judging* you or anything, but it seems to be a random collection of soundbites strung together without any thought as to if they make sense together or not. . . . *I’m lying: People judge each other all the time, and I am judging you there, and every time you (or anyone else) does [sic] anything. But I also judge myself every time I do anything, so don’t worry, you aren’t special.”
@Janelle
Do it. Sue everyone.
Can’t wait for the headlines: “Mary Holm [sic] supporter sues critics for libel.” Let the pursuit of truth and justice and tabloid headlines begin!
@zzzzzzz: Except the newspaper isn’t libel for the content of comments or letters to the editor or etc, they are only libel for the content of reporters, (unless they make a retraction.) To get the commenters, you have to sue them directly.
As for me, I’ve made 9 bullet points of what is wrong with you, and have issued a retraction on one of them at your request. The other 8 apparently still stand unless you want to argue that I’m doing them with “reckless regards to the truth,” (i.e. not that you don’t like the spin, but that there is no way a reasonable person would come up with that based on the situation.) I’m about to add to the list, (apparently you do have something to hide since you stopped posting under your real name,) but I haven’t yet.
But by all means, since you seem to be so successful at reasoning with people normally, you should try your success in court. What do you have to lose? (I mean, besides the attorney fees for you and the people you sue.)
@Janelle Jeffries: Since you seem so determined to continue this, I feel that I must inform you that any attempt you make to bring any sort Libel suit against either The Portlan Mercury or individual posters on their site will fail. This will happen for thre main reasons:
1. Opinion can not be libelous
2. Truthful or honest statements can not be libelous
3. You are a “limited public figure” and as such you are essentially exempt from defamation protections.
Once, in this very forum, notorious underworld figure and Mercury employee Matt Davis commented that “Bob R. is a fucker”.
Question for law experts: To the best of my knowledge (and after reviewing the security camera footage), it is clear to me that Mr. Davis has no basis to have observed (or not observed) such behavior, if or when or where I may, or may not have done said activity. Can I sue the Mercury too? Or just Matt? Or should I just recruit Matt to christen the new soaking pool at the new McMenamins on Stark (in the former bathhouse) with me, so that he may gather critical information as to the nature of his past statement about me? Is that journalism?
But what about you, Janelle? You’ve said at least as many offensive things to posters as poster have to you, and “He/She started it” is no defense for libel (not that any judge would find these comments legally libelous). Funny how you’re resorted to the legal system that you started this thread so disdainful of.
Also: Graham’s “libel” against you being a zeitgeist or collective unconscious was in reference to you claiming not to be “a real entity”. Please try to understand what the adults are saying before you commence your little hissy-fit.
Good Graham, I’m glad you’re acknowledging that you are posting opinions, please stop posting falsehoods as your statements to me have not been honest or truthful.
I would appreciate it if you would stop posting at least my last name which I never provided to this blog. I provided my first name and switched to zzzzzzz after several of you continued to post my first and last name and then Facebook page. You guys are borderline stalkers to me at this point. I’ve never tried to search for information on anyone of you. Why do that to me?
Matthew D., Graham and others did that. Apparently you don’t care about my privacy but all of you care about yours. Or else you all would provide your first and last names and Facebook account information.
Is Janelle calling me out for judging people? Am I “getting in trouble” for judging people? Was it a mistake for me to retract my statement earlier that Sam Adams called her out for judging people?
And I think I’ve got a case for libel in that last comment, since she keeps accusing me of being “sexist against women and labeling others as “schizos”, “schizophrenics,” and “batshit crazy.” ” even though she has already admitted that my comments weren’t sexist.
Finally, just for the record: I hate Salty, I voted against him the last time he was on the ballot. Nothing to do with him being a upper class white male, (I’m not a classist, racist, or sexist,) it had to do with the fact that he doesn’t listen to citizens when they complain and that isn’t something I want in my elected officials.
P.S. I love how you have to clarify your sexist label as “sexist against women,” unlike the other sort of sexism that seems to be on this thread.
Janelle — you didn’t answer Oddly Inconsistent’s question; you just reposted comments from other people.
“I provided my first name and switched to zzzzzzz after several of you continued to post my first and last name and then Facebook page.”
You switched to zzzzzz before anyone mentioned your last name or facebook page. This is evidenced in the text. Why do you keep lying, Janelle?
“Apparently you don’t care about my privacy but all of you care about yours. Or else you all would provide your first and last names and Facebook account information.”
What happened to “I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.” ???
I don’t really have a stake in this fight, but for the record:
Bob Richardson
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=111…
@Janelle said “Matthew D., Graham and others [posted my last name]”
Where exactly did I post your last name? That isn’t an opinion, you are accusing me of specific action, so I want to get this down for my deformation suit. Show me where I posted your last name, unless you plan on turning me from a middle class white male into an upper class one.
@Mattew D. I can’t wait for your deformation suit. I imagine it’ll be like that nuclear waste scene in Robocop. http://bloodofkittens.com/wp-content/uploa…
@Bob R. Just for the record, this is why I don’t comment on PortlandTransport anymore. It isn’t that Janelle compares at all to Jerry Car-Parker, but he doesn’t explode like this when things go down. (And 95% of the comments in this thread would have been deleted for being personal attacks. Although you know that already, and wouldn’t be trying to lure Matt Davis into the bathhouse over there either.)
Matthew D., look at two sentences before what you quoted. You searched for information on me is what I was referring to. You dug out information about me from a September 1, 2009 blog that has nothing to do with this blog—that was off topic. My life has nothing to do with Mary Volm other than I am voting for her. People who’ve dug up information about makes me feel unnecessarily invaded.
Thanks Bob, at least I know that one person is for equality.
P.S. I never minded posting my first name until people dug up information about me, my last name and my Facebook page. Everyone I have mentioned did not do all the same things to foist my private life out in the public without my permission. I said offensive things to others as a counterattack. I was insulted first.
No, I wouldn’t be trying to lure Matt into a bathhouse over there, nor you into a deformation suit, either. 🙂 I think one of the things that people don’t understand about that other blog is that it is moderated and has ground rules. I have no problem with people being mean, catty, profane, etc., over here — it’s just part of the scene. Look at it this way: If you go into a rowdy bar, there are different behavioral expectations than if you go into a community center meeting. And regarding the individual you just mentioned over at the other blog, he hasn’t been posting over there for awhile now. I won’t go into that over here, though.
“Thanks Bob, at least I know that one person is for equality.”
Janelle, you might think you’re being subtle, but that sort of backhanded compliment is exactly the sort of disingenuous and intellectually dishonest thing you’ve been doing this whole thread.
If you can point to the text and explain why it indicates that people are being various bigoted jerks, please do. Repeating something over and over doesn’t make it true, and until you decide to provide evidence to your accusations, posters will continue to find you completely delusional.
“I said offensive things to others as a counterattack. I was insulted first.”
Please, please, please grow up. You’re embarrassing yourself in public, seemingly with no end in sight.
Please. “You’ve been poisoned”
Please what? Maturity is a bad thing? Yelping “but he started it!” is how adults should behave? I don’t think you’re making yourself clear.
@Janelle Jefferies: You claim to be a liberatian… Well, the market forces have spoken and they really want you to seek professional counseling services to help you deal with whatever seems to be troubling you. Unfortunately, as an unemployed libertarian, I’m not entirely sure how you’re going to pay for said counseling. Maybe if you were a socialist you could morally take advantage of the numerous free community services offered by the city, county or state.
GOOGLE JOHN GALT
@Bob: Yes, I’d noticed he has been banned. I was quite pleased actually. Now if only he’d stop showing up at city wide land use and denying global warming.
@zzzzzzz: See at the bottom of your posts where it says “zzzzzzz”? Well if you click on that, you get your profile, (I know you’ve seen that page, it was the same one you used to change your picture to a flower and change our username.) The reason people look at it, is because people who post with account, (people that have nothing to hide, as opposed to the people that have something to hide and post anonymously,) tend to put things there, (like the picture of the flower that you have there, which looks much better at full size than at 50×50.) On that page is also the list of all the comments you’ve ever made on this blog. I read it. (At the time I didn’t need to even scroll down to read the comment from September, but now you have to press the “all comments” link at the bottom of the page to get to it.) In other words you are accusing me “unnecessarily invad[ing]” and “borderline stalking” for clicking on one link, (specifically, your name under your post,) and reading what it said?
@A CAT!!! Welcome back! We missed you! This is your type of ball of yarn anyways.
Now, for those who are continuing to mock, jab at me. Tell me about yourself am I supposed to be one of the few people with real names on here that people make light of? I must be your unintentional entertainment in which you take a sick joy in twisting my words.
For those who keep on insulting me, taking apart pieces of my statements–why? Are you practicing for a debate club somewhere? I’m not a politician, I enjoy my privacy. Some creepy people here dug up personal information about me and posted it on this blog.
What’s your first and last name since that was so important for some people to dig up about me? As long as you cannot provide at least your real name here, then where’s your backbone? My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.
I can only assume that those who won’t provide their identity, must have deep stuff to hide. Somehow you feel good lashing out falsehoods but can’t even say your first/last name.
Thanks for the open arms, Matthew. If we had more of these kind of threads, I’d break my self-imposed-exile way more often.
Graham, at least you’re now spelling my last name wrong, that helps with my privacy.
Matthew D., I don’t care where you got my old blog information, the point was that bringing it to this blog is off topic.
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz.”
As was said before, Janelle: This is a lie. It is very easy to prove it is a lie just by looking at this thread. So, again: Why do you keep lying?
“the point was that bringing it to this blog is off topic.”
Janelle, was your commenting on Graham’s race “on topic”? Or was it basically a racist action? How was it relevant to the topic in any way?
@Janelle C Jeffries: I’m so sorry that I misspelled your name. I won’t do it again. But really, get help. I’m sure that the staff at Street Roots can put you in touch with some pro bono mental health providers. It will make your life so much more manageable than it currently is.
Lol–“You’ve been poisoned” is now calling himself/herself “Back for the Politics.” Funny–so I searched and John Galt is a fictional name of a character.
My last name was foisted here against my will by people who have a twisted enjoyment of making things public that comes their path by digging. If anyone feels that posting something about someone against their will is ok, you may want to seek counseling yourself i.e. Graham.
@Janelle C Jeffries: So you feel that the WWeek’s story on the alleged improprieties of Mayor Adams was unjustified? After all, “if anyone posting something about someone against their will is ok, you may want to seek counseling yourself”. I’m sure Mayor Adams didn’t want that story reported.
Janelle, by your repeated posting on this site, you have made yourself into a “limited public figure”; this has pretty much made you fair game for something like a simple Google search. Feel free to do the same thing to anyone you want. After all, fair is fair.
Janelle, you’ve already changed your name once in this thread. Is the process really so mystifying to you?
Listen–Google guy–I NEVER provided my last name here. I DID provide my first name. Get a clue–k. If you would read all the comments here, you’d see I never did that–other commenters’s did that. By the way, thanks for helping with my Libel suit. I don’t appreciate you continuing to broadcast my full, personal name on here against my will.
There is no law against stating a preson’s name, Janelle. Look at your own definition of libel. No one is breaking any laws. Why do you hate freedom?
Also, why don’t you answer any of the questions about why you have repeatedly lied in this thread? I think many of us are curious.
OK, Janelle C Jeffries a.k.a. “zzzzzzz” I think you’ve just revealed yourself as a clever troll. Nobody is dumb enough to think that posting the true and real name of a person is “libel”. (Are they?)
If you are for real: Grow a spine. There’s videos out there of someone calling a former employer of mine because they found my resume posted online and wanted to see if I was for real. What’s happened to you here is a trifle, and mostly self-inflicted I might add.
– Bob Richardson
@GOOGLE JANELLE C. JEFFRIES
I’m not sure she is mystified. I was thinking to myself yesterday, “no way…there is no way anyone could actually be writing what she’s writing and be completely serious.”
Now…
Completely different. Nobody would screw with us for this long. Her name is really Janelle C. Jeffries who posts her GPA for all to see and is 100% completely mystified by what is going on here. I had a neighbor up until a month ago that was exactly the same way.
There’s freedom of speech, not freedom to defame. You obviously don’t care about protecting women’s privacy. You obviously don’t care about women and their safety. I never provided my full name at this place–it was dug out, forced out and is a rape of my privacy. I provide my full name where I freely choose. Have you ever been a victim of Identity Theft? I have. Does it feel good to rape my privacy?
@Janelle C. Jeffries: Your use of the word “rape” in this case is incredibly insensitive to survivors of sexual assault. I really hope that you apologize and retract your statments.
Also, the truth can not be defamatory speech. Since your name is Janelle C. Jeffries… well… Libel is impossible.
I’m not a liar and will defend myself from verbal attacks and libel. I NEVER PROVIDED MY FIRST, MIDDLE INITIAL AND LAST NAME HERE. I ONLY PROVIDED MY FIRST NAME BEFORE I SWITCHED IT TO ZZZZZZZ. THE COMMENTORS WHO PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION HAS RAPED MY PRIVACY!!
I am a survivor of rape. That’s why I can personally relate to you what a rape feels like. The commentors here that are rude and invasive have nothing better to do but to continue to defame me by raping my privacy.
Janelle, to say that to have someone use your name is tantamount to rape is absolutely disgusting, and an insult to the millions of women and men that have experienced sexual trauma. I sincerely hope you apologize and reflect on just how hurtful your actions are to any decent person.
Rape is like having your name used without permission? I personally remember it a lot differently. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Ooh. I was waiting for her to go there. Sickening deja vu back to the early ’90’s.
Remember? When one could tell someone else that unwanted looking-at was “mental rape”? Yeahhh…Set back feminism a good thirty years, that.
Is there a Rape Corollary to Godwin’s Law?
On this issue of lying, Janell, any person can read through this thread and see clearly that you changed your user name before either your last name or facebook was brought up. You later claimed that you changed your user name bacause of these “rapes”. This was a lie. Are you so deeply dishonest that you can’t even understand that you repeatedly and publicly lied?
If you aren’t in the mood to address your habitual dishonesty, could you tell us why you decided to use racial epithets against Graham for no logical reason?
For the people who have no soul here, the commenters who’ve invaded my privacy, it is apparent to me that you think it’s funny that I’ve been raped and have been a victime of identity theft. It’s apparent that you think it is ok to freely post a woman’s full name on an Internet blog and think that it is ok to rape her privacy and create a safety issue. It is apparent to me that you hate me, a woman. If you respected me, you would not rape my privacy, defame my character and would stop using my full name. Thank you.
No, I am not a liar. My user name was “Janelle” before I switched it to zzzzzzz. Google, you came here to this blog late but you have been the most destructive of my privacy at this moment.
@Janelle Jeffries: The following is a list of places that have your full name on their website. They are all raping you. Some of them even have photos of you; that’s like double-rape.

No, we don’t hate you, a woman. We dislike and distrust you, an asshole. We also note with a mixture of pity and disgust that you’ve now gone and undermined the value of the word ‘rape’.
“you think it’s funny that I’ve been raped and have been a victime of identity theft.”
This has no factual basis. It is a lie. Why are you a liar?
Janelle, you LIED about your motivations for changing your user name. Do you really, really, really, need me to point out exactly where you did this? (PRO-TIP: re-read this thread).
Graham was the first commenter who provided my full name to this blog, against my will.
Google–I am not a liar. Read all the comments. I have no energy to deal with you, obviously someone who is against truth.
Let me find the exact quote where you lied… In the mean time, would you like to explain why you made the choice to hurl racial epithets at posters? I’m really curious.
I have no need to lie. Google, I think you are the one that seriously needs help. I guess you get off on making women unsafe.
Excuse me, Google, you have a lot of reading to do. I don’t “hurl racial epithets.” Again, another defamation of my character. I have two biracial-half African American sisters. We have the same white mother but a different father.
“I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
Here you go, Janelle. This post is a lie. It is not the truth. It makes no sense when compared to the publicly available time-line. Why are you a liar?
@A CAT: This is the quote you’re looking for, “My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
Janelle, what relevance did adding the word “cracker” to Grahams name have to the discussion? It makes no sense, unless you wanted to introduce a derogatory racial element that had no place in this thread. It was a racist action, and it should give everyone here pause about your moral fortitude.
Hey! Look at that. Janelle Jeffries repeated the same lie twice! Along with repeated racist,sexist and classist commentaries about the relative merits of candidates based purely on demographic information that the candidates have relatively no control over.
Wow!! @ Graham. You flaunt your sickness of foisting information on this blog that has nothing to do with Mary Volm. This is outrageous!! You have now confirmed to me that you are a stalker.
And you have further confirmed that you have a poor command of language, o Lady Who Must Not Be Named.
I’m sorry, but Janelle Zzzzzzz? You should be ashamed of yourself. First, you’re making the not-funny blonde jokes, and now you’re using the word “rape” simply to indicate something you dislike? You are aware that you’re contributing to rape culture with these statements, right? As a woman, I frankly feel less safe the more you type.
@Janelle Jeffries: You got it! I’m SO stalking you right now. Look out your window. That’s me sitting on the bench watching your windows while I’m posting from my laptop.
@ Google. In no way, was “cracker” used in the racial context you are implying. I have never even heard that term used in the way you are saying. My sister’s father came straight from Africa.
First of all, Graham looks white to me. Second of all, whoever you are you are in need of help and I hope you can get it. You are purely defaming my character.
@ Google and @ Graham please do not continue to rape my privacy and defame my character. That is uncalled for and way out of line. Can you be reasonable people and care about a female’s privacy? Especially a woman like myself that has been a victim of rape in the past and has been a victim of identity theft? Why the tangent about me here? I haven’t dug up private information from any of you. How sick, disturbed and stalker like to go so far to post information about me on the blog way off the topic. This is harassment and an intrusion on my privacy/safety.
As a woman, who has been raped, I will use that term to discribe my invasion of privacy as it is a rape.
Janelle: And as a woman who has been raped, I find it entirely disgusting that you’re using the word in that way. It makes me ill.
“In no way, was “cracker” used in the racial context you are implying. I have never even heard that term used in the way you are saying. My sister’s father came straight from Africa.
First of all, Graham looks white to me.”
So you noticed that Graham seemed white, and you used a racial epithet against him that you coincidentally didn’t know the meaning of? Are you lying again? If not, please let us know the non-racist context of using the word cracker for someone you think is white? Would you feel ok if someone called your relative [Janelle’s sister]-nigger? Would that be ok? I don’t think so, but perhaps you think racial slurs are OK.
@Janelle Jeffries: In case you honestly didn’t know that “cracker” is a ethnic perjorative against whites… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejo…)
With the amount of sexist, racist, and classist harassment that Janelle has already posted in this thread, along with her compulsive lying, I’m not sure how wise it would be to assume simple ignorance in any of her comments, Graham.
I forgot how hot Bob R.’s icon was. Suh-woon (in the miniature)!
Thank goodness I have fantastic eyesight, ‘cuz it’d be even more creepy if I had to say “well, from what I can see, anyway!”
Why thanky-you Alexjon. (Blush) In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve put on a few pounds and a few years since that photo was taken. (And, thankfully, changed the color of of the house — as a decoy to would-be Internet Facebook name-rapist stalkers, of course.) I’ve actually lost over 10lbs in the past 4 months on my improved diet, so hopefully the photo and the reality will realign sometime, plus a few wrinkles.
In the definition of the context I’m using to describe my rape of privacy is the following, words have more than one meaning:
“Rape n. : 2. violent assault or plunder” (The American Century Dictionary, 1995, p. 477). The defintion of the word “cracker” that I was using to describe Graham “cracker” was: “Cracker n., thin crisp bisquit” but really refering to “Crackers adj. slang. Crazy” (The American Century Dictionary, 1995, p. 133).
This rape of privacy using my full name was started by the profile user Graham. I’ve been raped on two occaisons, menaced once with a butcher knife, and I have been a victim of identity theft. I NEVER provided my full legal name, Graham DID THAT. My privacy and safety is now compromised.
He was the first one who insulted me when I used an analogy about Catwoman in which I counterattacked. Then decided to dig (stalker-like) and find my full legal name and Internet links about me to post on the Internet on this blog.
1. If that’s your definition of “rape of privacy” then you need to look up the definition of “violence”. Words mean things.
2. If you don’t want people to easily find your full legal name on the Internet, DON’T POST YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME ON THE INTERNET. Google finds things.
I have been menaced, stalked, and threatened with a knife in my time (although thankfully not raped), and I would _never_ compare those experiences to someone posting the results of an easy Google search.
How is your safety in any way compromised? Your name is already on the internet in several places. Do you think Street Roots raped you by publishing your full name? Did you rape Mary Volm by making your initial post in this thread WITHOUT HER CONSENT?
I’m still interested in why you lied to your fellow posters several times. Graham and I have both posted proof of this. Why are you a compulsive liar, Janelle?
I am not racist, “Google…,” AKA no name profile user. I do not lie, nor do I have a need to lie. You should be ashamed of your actions, but apparently you don’t know what is right or what is wrong. You don’t care about women who have been raped. As a woman who has been raped, you call me a “liar.” It is very psychotic of you to have my full legal name in your user name. You’re promoting people to abuse me and I can only hope that you will realize that.
I was also accused, multiple times, of being pro child-molestation in this very forum by someone who created a profile with the sole apparent purpose of harassing me. That’s way beyond anything anybody has said about you, in terms of libel. And yet I would definitely not compare such an experience to menacing, stalking, threatening, or rape.
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
“I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
There you are Janelle. Neither of these are true, yet you repeatedly made the same un-true claim. How is this not a lie? Why do you continue to lie, instead of owning up to your lies like a decent human being would?
@Janelle Jeffries: You are a liar. You make up stories to fit the reality that you wish actually happpened.
The idea that I insulted you before you started using racial perjoratives at me and accusing me of being drunk while posting… Well.. that never happened.
The idea that you changed your screen name in reaction to the use of your last name… Well… that never happened.
The idea that I was being sexist against all women because, because, because I don’t know why. You never explained that one. But it as well never happened.
The idea that anyone on here ever defamed you or libeled against you… never happened.
The idea that I raped you because I said what your name was, well, that’s insulting and a misuse of the word rape.
The idea that you somehow are using the insult ‘cracker’ in an obsure British sense that means crazy instead of the much more commonly used racial perjorative sense… Maybe that’s true… but I doubt it.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
“You’re promoting people to abuse me and I can only hope that you will realize that.”
No, Janelle. I’m not. Please look at your sentence, parse its meaning, and explain to us why someone Googling your name promotes them abusing you. Try to make sense. Explain it to us simply and accurately, like we were a five-year-old.
Urbanally?
my goodness…
“As a woman who has been raped, you call me a “liar.””
The two halves of that sentence have nothing to do with one-another.
Nobody, NOBODY, NOBODY is questioning your statement that you have been raped.
People _are_ calling you _currently_ a liar.
The accusation of being a _liar_ was made BEFORE any mention of rape. You were the first to mention the word, at 2:06pm today. The word “lie” in this context was brought up at 12:50pm today. The accusation of untruthfulness, using other verbiage, was brought up earlier than that.
Therefore, if you are prone to believe in the experience of the passage of time, at least by human consciousness, as a one-way phenomenon, it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone who has accused you of lying to have been conflating your past rape into the accusation in any way.
To add to my previous comment: People are calling you -currently- a liar because you refuse to acknowledge the incongruity and incorrectness of your statement regarding when and why you changed your handle on here. You could diffuse the matter by admitting the reality of the incongruity and claiming to have made a serious error when remembering what you did. We’ve all done that from time-to-time, and momentary mental lapses are common among humans and quite forgivable. But your continued willful refusal to even admit to the reality of the timeline falls into two broad, overlapping categories: 1) You are a troll. An excellent one. 2) You are lying and seek to deflect attention from your lie.
Google (using my full legal name in your profile)—you are at the five year old level now. I hope whomever you vote for never gets into office. Who ever you vote for probably would be fake and abusive just like you. You’re sick. It’s ok, you can get help. This blog has been going on since December 8th. You jump in on it, late, and preceed to call me a liar and try to degrade, defame, and promote people to search my name. The truth is something that scares you, it is obvious.
If I knew sick people like you and Graham would abuse my name like that here, from the beginning I wouldn’t have used my first name. I think you’re a felon, Google (using my full legal name). You never used your real name once. You are so insecure that when you see a chance to pick on a woman and flaunt her full name everywhere, that it makes you feel intensely superior. Yes, I provide my full name to places where I want people to know my full name. If I had wanted this blog to have my full name, that would have been my user name. I didn’t do that. I used my first name and changed it to zzzzzzz after stalkers like you thirsty to exploit the privacy of women continued to abuse my privacy. In my eyes Graham and Google (using my full legal name in his profile) are rapists. You’ve raped and invaded my privacy on this blog with out my permission. You’ve taken my personal information and posted it in this blog and somehow think I should respectfully take this invasion of privacy rape. No, I won’t consent to your virtual rape. I’m calling it for what it is.
Janelle, I’ve proven, beyond the slightest doubt that you have compulsively lied throughout this thread. Why don’t you respond to that, instead of attacking me? Here, let try it again:
Me: You repeatedly lied throughout this thread, and multiple users have presented damning evidence of these lies. Why did you feel the need to lie to us, and then lie to us about the lies?
Ok, you go now. If you expect to be treated like an adult, you should learn how to participate in civilized discourse instead of constant name-calling you’re inclined to.
@Janelle Jeffries: You changed your screen name at some point before 10:25pm on 12/09/2009. The first instance of your full name being used was at 8:16am on 12/10/2009. Please explain how you changed your screen name in reaction to something that hadn’t happened.
I repeat, you are a habitual liar and really should consider seeking professional help.
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
“I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
Here it is in case you’ve forgotten again, Janelle. Why did you tell these lies, and why did you lie about making them? The only way out of the hole you’ve dug yourself is through honesty. I truly hope you’re not so morally degenerate that you can’t even admit it when caught lying.
“I think you’re a felon”
What crime? Please provide reference to a statute. Thank you.
“I used my first name and changed it to zzzzzzz after stalkers like you thirsty to exploit the privacy of women continued to abuse my privacy.”
Repetition of the same falsehood without acknowledgment of any of the past, frequently stated, well-documented criticism of said falsehood.
“In my eyes Graham and Google (using my full legal name in his profile) are rapists.”
You’ve made that abundantly clear, and have already offended others who have been stalked and raped by your dilution of language into meaninglessness.
“No, I won’t consent to your virtual rape”
Are you going to call the virtual police so we can have a virtual arrest and a virtual trial and virtual incarceration? (I nominate myself to be virtual interrogator and later, virtual jailer.)
December 8th, 2009, 2:19pm: Graham first insulted me
December 10th, 2009, 8:16am: Graham provided this Portland Mercury blog my full legal name, without my permission.
Graham, you forcefully, foisted and raped my privacy by providing my full identity without my permission. You misused my right to decide when and where I would post my full name. If I willfully wanted to post my full name on this blog, I would’ve. These weren’t all the posts where Graham continued to rape my privacy along with his pal Google (using my full legal name against my permission in his user profile).
“I used my first name and changed it to zzzzzzz after stalkers like you thirsty to exploit the privacy of women continued to abuse my privacy.”
This is also a lie, Janelle, just 15 minutes ago. Do you ever tell the truth? I hope you get some professional help, because something in either your head or your soul is broken. It’s very sad.
@Janelle Jeffries: Wait… you’re considering this an insult?
“Also, you’re not a literal person [this was in response to you saying, ‘I’m not a literal person’]… What exactly are you then? A zeitgeist maybe, or a collective unconsious with an internet connection?”
I really fail to see what the insult was in there. Yes, it was kind of snarky… but insulting? Nope. Not one iota.
“Graham, you forcefully, foisted and raped my privacy by providing my full identity without my permission.”
It’s not private if YOU post it on public web sites, accessible to any search engine.
“You misused my right to decide when and where I would post my full name.”
A) There is no such right.
B) Even if you the public were to enact such a right, you already consented to your name being posted publicly online by doing so yourself in multiple venues. No new truly private information was posted here by anyone other than you.
Great troll behavior, though, this is becoming one historic thread.
“This blog has been going on since December 8th.”
Yes, but now it’s getting really good. Thanks for the laughs.
I have been raped and this is an on-going rape of my privacy. Google (using my full legal name as his profile user name) may be committing a felony of identity theft as he is using my name without my permission. I can and will find out. Without a doubt, he has been guilty of Libel along with Graham and other commenters here.
Janelle, here is what Graham said at the time you listed:
“Also, you’re not a literal person… What exactly are you then? A zeitgeist maybe, or a collective unconsious with an internet connection?”
Graham was making a bemused comment about you stating that you’re not a literal person. It was a quip, not an insult. Please look up the words and phrases you don’t understand before mistakenly deciding that you’ve been savagely raped by words.
Again: Graham wasn’t insulting you. Try to wrap your head around that, and then maybe apologize to him.
“may be committing a felony of identity theft as he is using my name without my permission.”
Nope. Not even close.
My parents have been the victims of identity theft. You demean their victimhood by diluting the seriousness of the crime with your petty self-sorrow.
If someone were to rename their profile “Google Bob Richardson” it would certainly be provocative and would make me wonder just what point it was they were trying to make (until it had been made clear by numerous other commenters, at least), but it wouldn’t be identity theft by any stretch of the sane, rational mind.
I want to point out that Volm is Portland’s Susan Hutchison.
Same hallmarks: she and supporters hide from conservative label without attempting to discuss or explain, has ties to failed campaigns, supporters scream “sexism” for no good reason other than to derail the conversation, promises “change” which means of course “shifting the city’s priorities to the right” and so on and so forth.
Just call her “conservative Mary Volm” and be done with it. Don’t go through the likely parade of stupid ads and string of “how did she lose?” weepy conservative press sob stories. Nobody who votes for her actually thinks she’ll bring “change”, they just think she’ll be a dissenting GOP “no” vote on the council or she’ll be SO OMG POWERFUL that Sam Adams is cowed and makes a sweeping speech saying he knocked up a 14 year old boy through some kind of gay immaculate conception, relinquishing his seat to a two-headed Frankenstein monster made out of the body of Sho, Tom Potter and Bob Ball.
And she WILL lose unless her only opponent is another person with ties to conservative anti-liberal groups, in which case the end result will depend on whoever makes the fewest gaffes.
This should be delicious fun.
Janelle, I would suggest you talk to Matt Davis about how frequently and savagely we’re raping you. Back in the old days, I savagely raped him all the time, and eventually he sent me an email telling me about how he didn’t appreciate being constantly raped by me, and that he had a well-qualified barrister that would surely litigate his case so that I would stop raping him so much. I never heard from the barrister, but I’m sure he would be willing to help you also.
Further: I sat on a Grand Jury for a month which heard nearly 100 cases. I won’t go into specifics, but I do know what real crimes are, what the perpetrators of real crimes do, and have glimpsed what the victims of those real crimes suffer. You demean all those people by creating a mantle of false victimhood for the perceived written slights you rail against here.
“I want to point out that Volm is Portland’s Susan Hutchison.”
Quite possibly. But I think, after first posting the question neutrally hours earlier, is that what we’re experiencing here today is a healthy dose of Harriet Christian.
So Mary Volm is Portland’s Susan Hutchison for Portland’s Harriet Christians. I think you’re on to something.
Bob R., if your logic was true, which it is not, then people anywhere could legally use anyone’s name at anytime for any reason. Freedom of speech, does have its limits. It is a personal attack to provide my full legal name here without my permission, that is Libel. Endangering my privacy is a personal attack on me and providing false information is defamation of character and putting me at the risk of being a victim of identity theft and other safety issues. The way Graham and Google (using my full legal name without my permission) have acted is by advertising my name. Sick and I’m continually being virtually raped on this blog. Change your profile name Google (using my full legal name without my permission). It will be hard for me to win a Libel suit at all here.
I meant, it won’t be hard for me to win a Libel suit here. Clearly, look at Google (using my full legal name without my permission) advertising my full name. Trying to get the public to search my name, possibly felons who will steal my identity again.
“It is a personal attack to provide my full legal name here without my permission, that is Libel.”
No, it’s not. I’m calling you a liar, which is demonstrably true (are you ever going to address that???), hence is not libel.
“Endangering my privacy is a personal attack on me and providing false information is defamation of character and putting me at the risk of being a victim of identity theft and other safety issues.”
How is the full name you’ve already put on the internet making you a victim of identity theft? Do you really think that simply knowing someone’s name means you can steal their identity? Should we be worried about Mary Volm, or should we not use her name either?
“It will be hard for me to win a Libel suit at all here.”
No, Janelle. It will be impossible.
“Trying to get the public to search my name, possibly felons who will steal my identity again.”
Janelle, you are behaving in the manner of someone that is certifiably insane.
“Bob R., if your logic was true, which it is not, then people anywhere could legally use anyone’s name at anytime for any reason.”
Bad logical analysis. Just because people can’t use other people’s name for ANY reason doesn’t mean that they can’t use other people’s names for SOME reason.
The reason here seems pretty clear: The person currently posting as “GOOGLE JANELLE C. JEFFRIES” is using the word “Google” as a verb. This means that he/she is encouraging those who may stumble across this thread to Google your name. If Google is turning up something that you don’t like, your beef somewhat with Google, but primarily with the information you’ve already publicly posted YOURSELF.
You are perfectly free to change your handle to “GOOGLE BOB RICHARDSON” — you won’t be stealing my identity in the least in that particular usage.
“It is a personal attack to provide my full legal name here without my permission, that is Libel.”
Excellent troll bait. Pretending to know nothing about the law whatsoever while wrapping one’s self in the blanket of said law. As has already been stated by nearly everybody: Truth is not libel.
Speaking of truth, you still haven’t acknowledged the falsehoods you keep repeating in here about the timeline of when and why you changed your handle. Your beef appears to be that other people, by not using their own full names, are being juvenile. Well, I’m posting with my real name, you can Google me, and I’m asking you to retract your lies or at the very least admit the incorrectness of what you have stated.
“It will be hard for me to win a Libel suit at all here.”
A complete reversal in the same comment. You are a very well-trained troll. Where do you normally practice?
“I meant, it won’t be hard for me to win a Libel suit here.”
This is progress. You have corrected something that you have written. It is factually wrong now, but it does reflect what you actually intended to say. Very good.
Now, how about acknowledging your repeated falsehoods, as requested by nearly everyone here? (Including me, using my real name.)
“If anyone believes in the US criminal justice system, you’re a criminal in my book.”
compared to
“it won’t be hard for me to win a Libel suit here.”
I’ll just leave this here…

@ bob r
Re: legal turns – have you driven downtown lately? The rails that (unfortunately) now carry trains have you making at least 6 right turns when one left would have sufficed a few months ago. It’s ALMOST enough to make me consider mass transit. ALMOST.
It’s amusing to see how little of this literary detritus has anything to do with the original article. Can we now move on to the latest bit of misinformation in today’s PDX Merc…which has the Pulitzer-yearning Davis simply eliminating Volm altogether? Whad up wit dat?
@Jannelle
You said: “I meant, it won’t be hard for me to win a Libel suit here.”
Then why don’t you STFU and get your sue on. We’ll laugh when a lawyer won’t even take your case. Time to put up or shut up darlin’.
@Bob R.
I looked at your facebook page. I admit it. Do you think I should turn myself in for rape?
Mary Volm! Come here! Say something!
Google (using my legal name without my permission), you just keep making my Libel case stronger. By the time I decide to take this baby to court for Libel, I will have one strong case with a huge win. You know, the thing about the Internet, which I love, is that nowadays the criminal authorities can track down a person’s identity whether or not he/she posts his/her name. It’s not going to be hard to take you to court.
Once again, Google (using my identity without my permssion) you don’t realize how easy you’re making this for me. You continue to now defame, slander me–and this is Libel.
@BlackedOut –
Buy me breakfast and we’ll call it even.
@WomenVote:
If you are referring to the transit mall, through auto traffic was not previously allowed at all on the mall. For nearly 30 years, the auto lane was interrupted with blocks which had 30ft wide sidewalks and no through traffic.
Through auto traffic is now allowed. Those wide sidewalks have since been eliminated to make way for a continuous multi-use lane which can accommodate motorists and cyclists.
You are also confusing left with right turns. LEFT turns are allowed, as the multi-use lane is on the left side. To make a right turn requires three lefts. Nonetheless, the net effect of the mall has been to allow more options for motorists, not less. There are also plenty of signs and directional arrows in the traffic lights themselves.
“criminal authorities”
Why would you appeal to criminal authorities? Are you in the mafia? I’d much rather you sought the aid of _legal_ authorities, because I have friends in law enforcement and they can use a good snicker now and then.
This is so much fun. Really, Janelle, this is a brilliance performance. The whole willful idiot shtick you’re doing helps everyone else feel just a tad bit superior.
Please, please, please, when you see your “criminal authority”, be sure to include me as a party to your lawsuit. Either side, I don’t care, I just want to be in the room to see the reactions.
@ BlackedOut: The longer the Libel towards me goes on here, the more I can win in court. So, the commenters’s who are continuing to defame and slander me , you are doing this at your own risk. You are just building up my case, rather nicely. Remember, I don’t consent to this virtual rape. I NEVER posted my full legal name on this blog. Graham DID that December 10, 2009 at 8:16am.
“Commenters’s”? Shit, and you accuse me of not being able to type…
Bob R., thanks for correcting me. You’re right, I meant the legal authorities.
@A cat: Janelle, you are behaving in the manner of someone that is certifiably insane.
So there was this ~45 year old woman that lived down the street from my elementary school. And every so often when I was walking home she’d say something to me about how the Nazis were walking around on the telephone wires again, and she’d point, and I’d look up and there would be a squirrel. And so I’d keep walking, cause my parents had told me not to talk to strangers and this woman was strange. But when my mother was walking with me, she’d talk to the lady about various things, and it got quite interesting… Anyways, when I read about how your username might be “Trying to get the public to search my name, possibly felons who will steal my identity again.” my first thought was “Nazi Squirrel Lady has learned to use a computer!”
“I NEVER posted my full legal name on this blog. Graham DID that December 10, 2009 at 8:16am.”
Please provide a link to the ORS which indicates that such action is in any way a crime or subject to civil action.
To get you started: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/
(Hint: Libel is a civil claim, not a criminal one.)
Please also defend or retract your false statements. I’ve called you out specifically on this, by name, twice.
I’m accusing you by name of making false statements.
If I’m wrong about this, that’s closer to libel than anything else so far. (I’m not wrong about this.) And curiously you’ve ignored everyone’s direct requests to correct/explain/retract your falsehoods. Excellent.
@ Rich Bachelor thanks for catching my typo. I didn’t type on a Word document first. I never pointed out all of your typos you had previously; sorry I didn’t help you more.
I’ve never met the Nazi Squirrel lady, but I did used to live in an apartment above a woman who randomly shouted a lot about Eisenhower, the Russians, and the bomb. A nice, non-threatening woman, who unfortunately would shout angrily and turn and run if anyone said “hello” or tried to establish a rapport. She fed bologna to stray cats in the area. So I guess that brings us full circle to the “cat woman” remark that started this whole thing.
@Janelle Jeffries: It is 100% legal to say what a person’s name is. I have broken no laws, I have violated none of your rights. If you feel that you can prove that I have defamed you, libeled you or otherwise injured you; please feel free to contact The Portland Mercury’s legal department with a subpoena and they will provide you with the contact information that they have for me.
And if you somehow had a valid case for libel, you would then be forced to demonstrate any damage to your reputation or livelihood this entire silly thing has caused you.
Okay, and why do you keep saying that thing about Word documents? If you cut and pasted a document from there that had shit grammar and was poorly spelled, the result would be exactly the same. And hell yeah; if I’d pointed out every typo you’ve made, I’d be filibustering to the same degree you are.
I’m still curious what Mary Volm has to say about this.
@ Bob R., “Libel and slander are civil claims, but a handful of the states recognize an action for criminal defamation” (Media Law Resource Center, Inc., 2009, “Frequently Asked Media Law Questions,” Retrieved December 10, 2009 from, http://www.medialaw.org/Content/Navigation…).
@Janelle Jeffries: Did you even read the article you linked to? At every single point in that articles it refutes every attempt you’ve made to say that you’ve been defamed, libeled, or injured. ‘
Fuck it. You are the best troll /b/town has ever seen.
∞/10 troll. We will never see the likes of you again. Like a meteor, you crashed and burned too early. We hardly even knew ye.
@womenvote – I wonder if Volm started supporting the recall before or after she was laid off. I can’t believe Jasun would have let it slide if he felt she was fired for supporting the recall.
@Janelle – You said: “Lol–please @ show me. I vote. I’m a registered/practicing voter for over 13 years. I can’t help it if you’re not literate. I didn’t vote for the current Portland city officials. What that means, is who I voted for didn’t get elected. Apparently, comprehension was never your strong suit, hopefully you can get help.”
Sorry, the sentence I was referring to was from your original ‘press release’ on 9/1/09 where you wrote “Even though, I am not a Democrat or a Republican, as a registered Portland, Oregon voter, I did not vote for any of the Downtown Portland, Oregon city government officials and I even signed a petition the other day to recall Mayor Sam Adams, I enjoyed voicing my voice, even if I am just a minority.”
I took this to mean you only voted for Ron Paul or someone similar and left the rest of the ballot blank, I stand corrected. It hurts me that you would question my literacy, maybe you could admit the sentence was somewhat unclear and poorly constructed. I would not describe this experience as a rape, but it still hurts. It seems libelous as well; I mean obviously I had demonstrated by writing a post that I was literate, yet you accused me of not being able to read. Do I have a lawsuit as well?
@Janelle Jeffries: I would really really love it if you’d sue me for libel. A lot. I fucking dare you to put a lawyer on retainer and sue me. I would LOVE IT!!! I double-dog dare you to do so. So either put up or shut up.
Protip: you might want to research Oregon’s anti-SLAPP laws.
@ Bob R., lol. Please, I’ve done a lot of explaining. I think you just like me to repeat myself over and over, for some reason. You’ll have to reread posts to figure things out. Starting with Graham December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm and then when he felt, for some reason, that it was ok to just post my legal name that I own on this public blog without my permission on December 10, 2009 at 8:16am. Those two comments are just the beginning of slanderous/defamation/libel statements about me. Those comments, as well as other comments from some of the profile users here who slandered/defamed and were libel towards me (saying that I have a mental illness, etc.), are a part of a huge slew of comments, some I already compiled in a list and have posted twice. You’re certainly not my attorney, lol.
@ Show me, you’re just providing a huge chunk of information that is part of my point I discussed earlier.
First of all, I’m not a politician and I do not conduct press releases. Second of all, quoting me from a blog dated 9/1/09 has nothing to do with this blog about Mary Volm here, that’s off topic. Yet, some commenter’s here continued to dig up personal information about myself and post it here without my consent. I don’t consent to the virtual rape of my privacy.
@Janelle Jeffries: Godamnit! Stop posting the stupidest possible shit on here. You do not own your name. That doesn’t happen. You have such a perverted understanding of the law, it’s no wonder that you are (as you claim yourself) unemployable. Your delusions must make continued employment very difficult for you.

The more commenters post slander, defaming, libel remarks to me, the better my case.
The question at hand isn’t be “can you sue someone on the internet”, Janelle. The question is “can you sue someone for saying your full name”. The answer is no, and I think we’d all love to see evidence to the contrary.
That is why I put press release in quotes. But if it was not a press release why did it have that crazy header, was it a term paper or something?
Still you accused me of not being literate, do I have a libel case by your reading of the law?
“Please, I’ve done a lot of explaining.”
What you haven’t done is address the specific issue of your repeated falsehoods, and the other things you have “explained” make no logical, lexical, syntactical, or legal sense whatsoever.
And you’ve still not apologized for demeaning the victimhood of real crime victims.
I salute you.
“The more commenters post slander, defaming, libel remarks to me, the better my case.”
Here we go again, Janelle: You’re a liar. This is extraordinarily easy to prove. That’s what every is saying again and again. It’s not libel, because it’s true.
Accusing people of being rapists and felons, on the other hand, is much closer to libel. Do you not comprehend which side of the fence you’re on?
Sorry Google (who is still advertising my name without my permission), you, just like Bob R. are not my attorney. I have no explaining to do to you to tell you what angle I will bring my Libel/slander/defamation suit. Yet again, you like to distort comments and the truth.
Could you explain how everyone that has proved you to be a liar is wrong? It’s weird how everyone here has convincing evidence but you.
I look forward to your lawyer bringing suit.
I’m not a liar, here you go again distorting comments.
@Janelle Jeffries: You are a liar. You make up stories to fit the reality that you wish actually happpened.
The idea that I insulted you before you started using racial perjoratives at me and accusing me of being drunk while posting… Well.. that never happened.
The idea that you changed your screen name in reaction to the use of your last name… Well… that never happened.
The idea that I was being sexist against all women because, because, because I don’t know why. You never explained that one. But it as well never happened.
The idea that anyone on here ever defamed you or libeled against you… never happened.
The idea that I raped you because I said what your name was, well, that’s insulting and a misuse of the word rape.
The idea that you somehow are using the insult ‘cracker’ in an obsure British sense that means crazy instead of the much more commonly used racial perjorative sense… Maybe that’s true… but I doubt it.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Janelle, you said the following things. They are demonstrably untrue, yet you continue to claim they are. This means you are uttering lies, thus a liar. How do you not understand this?
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
“I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
You also don’t have a libel case.
“you, just like Bob R. are not my attorney.”
Who is your attorney? I want to turn myself in. Please give the attorney’s name (be sure to get permission first, we wouldn’t want you to be raping your attorney) and contact info, and I’ll get in touch directly.
@zzzzzzz: Would you go read the 3rd sentence of the link you just posted? I know you aren’t a literal person, but it seems like you could do that at least…
I’ve even put it here just to make it easy:
“Libel generally refers to statements or visual depictions in written or other permanent form, while slander refers to verbal statements and gestures.”
I mean, don’t get me wrong, you are of course welcome to sue me for slander, but I think your lawyer won’t laugh at you, (lets face it, as much,) if you tell them that you want to bring a libel suit instead of a slander one. Just FYI…
PS… Are you the cat woman who used to live under my apartment?
Awa, look little Graham is repeating himself and stomping his foot on the ground like Rumpelstiltskin .
Here is a cracker for you Graham for acting like a parrot.
And now with the sockpuppetry. You’re a class act, Janelle C. Jeffries.
(lord, didn’t even notice the little sexist snipe in there…)
LOL, Janelle, what an idiot you are. Come on, sue me too. I DARE YOU.
BTW, this is and has been my only user profile ID. Any law authority can defend that for me as well do to the technology they have. Again, accusing me of being a user profile I am not, that is slander. Once again, I am speaking the truth while the defaming, slanderous, libel towards me commenter’s continue to post lies about me.
I’m standing up for myself against the people who are defaming me, slandering me and who are being libel towards me on this blog. I still can’t believe that some people on this site think that it’s ok for a person to place an advertisement as a user profile like Google (using my name without my permission) does. That person is putting me in harms way, my personal safety, by promoting people to search for me on the Internet. This is one huge component of my case which I’ve already saved the comments to prove. None of you are lawyers and I do have a lawyer.

I do not consent to the rape of my privacy and slanders, defamations, and libel acts towards me.
@Bob R. So I have a ex girlfriend who had 5 cats in a 400 square foot apartment. She had PTSD from worrying about nuclear war, (I’m not joking, that was the diagnoses,) but I don’t think she was worried about Eisenhower. Of course, she got treatment and turned out fine in the end, and her name isn’t zzzzzzz, so I doubt this is her. Was your apartment in the SE 30th and Division area though?
Janelle, you said the following things. They are demonstrably untrue, yet you continue to claim they are. This means you are uttering lies, thus a liar. How do you not understand this?
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
“I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
Can I sue the telephone book? Not only did they post my full name, but also my phone number and my address! Of course, instead of suing them for libel or something that might actually be possible, I should sue them for slander, cause they used sign language to communicate the information to other people. That, and rape. (I’ve seen the way those phone books look at you sometimes, everyone will believe that.)
“was your apartment in the SE 30th and Division area though?”
No, that particular apartment was in Corvallis. I cop to having 4 cats at that particular time in my own apartment (it wasn’t my intention to have more than two, but a friend in economic need became my roommate and brought his two cats to join my two), while the cat woman downstairs actually had no permanent indoor cats at all. She would sit out on the stoop and feed the strays, and occasionally mine if one got out.
I would have loved to have a conversation with the woman, but she would shy away (while shouting) from any person who got closer than about 15ft or so.
Matthew D., you consented to have your information posted in the telephone book. Quite different type of a thing.
And you consented to having your name posted on the Internet. You posted it there YOURSELF.
This phone book?
http://dexknows.whitepages.com/search/Repl…
(Not making any claims here that the linked listing is the correct one. Just asking.)
And you’re still completely sidestepping the issue of your falsehoods regarding when and why you changed your handle here.
As they say in Washington, would you care to amplify and extend your previous remarks?
@ Google (posting my full name without my permission telling thereby advertising people to search for me without my consent), Graham is the one who posted my full name (first, middle initial, and last name) without my permission on December 10, 2009 at 8:16am. Once again, I NEVER posted my full name on this Blog, Graham DID that. Now, help me understand you’re problem in understanding the truth and why you want to continue to call me a liar when you are one? Stop continuing to rape my privacy. Stop using my legal name in your user profile to tell people to search for me online. You need help, please get it. Apparently you get off on endangering me; you don’t know the difference between right and wrong by endangering my privacy.
I don’t sidestep anything and my phone number is thankfully unlisted by my choice.
Read what you wrote, Janelle. You claim repeatedly to have changed your user name because of people posting your full name. THE CHRONOLOGY OF THIS MAKE NO SENSE. Do you not see how you repeatedly uttered false statements, despite people correcting you?
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
“I never posted my last name but others dug up that information, so I switched to zzzzzz as several bloggers here want to character assassinate me here and make me wonder about my safety now as a woman.”
This is the most epic comments section in blog history.
One idiot named Jenelle has managed to bring the hammer down. I will forever be changed.
“The more commenters post slander, defaming, libel remarks to me, the better my case.”
Guess what…my opinion of you is that you’re a class A idiot or the best troll ever born. I’m going to frame this comments section. God you’re an idiot.
I really want to go with you when you try to retain a lawyer. I want to see his face when you give him a comments section of a blog as your evidence. In fact, I’ll give you $20 just to stand there. The look on the lawyers face would be worth every penny.
Yeah, I think the quietly, go sit in the corner, type of crazy people are more my style. I admit that they aren’t nearly as entertaining, but they tend to be quicker to realize that something isn’t right there and deal with the situation, where as the shouters tend to be in denial and avoid treatment. Have you seen “Crazy Enough”? I saw it with some friends, it really hit home for me, and some of them were like, “What? I don’t get it.”
Guys with 4 cats don’t tend to collect labels as fast as women with 4 cats. I mean, “crazy cat guy” just doesn’t fit, I don’t know why.
I POSTED ONLY MY FIRST NAME ON THIS BLOG. I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MANY TIMES I’VE STATED THAT HERE. GRAHAM MADE THE DECISION TO POST MY FULL NAME AGAINST MY WILL DECEMBER 10, 2009 AT 8:16AM. STOP VIRTUALLY RAPING ME–COMMENTERS THAT ARE SLANDERING ME, DEFAMING ME AND THAT ARE BEING LIBEL TO ME. I FIGURE IF I TYPE IN CAPS YOU CAN SEE IT BETTER. I DON’T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I REPEAT: I DID NOT CHOOSE TO USE MY FULL NAME IN THIS BLOG, GRAHAM DID THAT. I ONLY USED MY FIRST NAME BEFORE I SWITCHED TO ZZZZZZZ AFTER PEOPLE STARTED TO POST BLOGS I POSTED IN SEPTEMBER HERE AND THEN GRAHAM POSTED MY FULL NAME.
I WANT YOU, THOSE WHO ARE RAPING MY PRIVACY, TO THINK HOW YOU ARE HARMING ME AND KNOCK IT OFF. I WILL TAKE THIS TO COURT. I DON’T LIE.
I DO NOT CONSENT TO THE RAPE OF MY PRIVACY ON THIS BLOG.
ONCE AGAIN, I ALREADY HAVE A LAWYER.
“I DID NOT CHOOSE TO USE MY FULL NAME IN THIS BLOG, GRAHAM DID THAT. I ONLY USED MY FIRST NAME BEFORE I SWITCHED TO ZZZZZZZ AFTER PEOPLE STARTED TO POST BLOGS I POSTED IN SEPTEMBER HERE AND THEN GRAHAM POSTED MY FULL NAME.”
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
Janelle, do you not see how these quote simply don’t say the same thing? Here’s a tip: try reading them. Slowly. Read what you wrote. Try to understand what the words mean.

GOOGLE (THE GUY STILL RAPING MY PRIVACY, DEFAMING ME, AND BEING LIBEL TO ME), THIS BLOG HAS BEEN UP SINCE DECEMBER 8, 2009 AND YOU ONLY GOT IN ON THE BLOG TODAY, DECEMBER 10, 2009. YOU NEED TO STOP FRAUDULANTY USING MY IDENTITY IN YOUR USER PROFILE. YOU’VE MISSED TWO DAYS OF THIS BLOG AND IT’S LIKE YOU’VE ONLY READ A FEW BLOGS. STOP ABUSING WOMEN. I’M A WOMAN AND YOU NEED TO STOP ABUSING ME!!! I AM SERIOUS–THIS IS GOING TO COURT.
Amen Sister! The copy of Mein Kampf being carried around by the squirrels raped me too.
I’ve read the entire thread, Janelle. What do you think I’ve missed?
The court date for this is going to be the greatest blog-town meet up ever. I’ll bring the whip-its.
“In fact, I’ll give you $20 just to stand there.”
I’ll see your $20 and raise you another $20.
In fact, I’ll donate $100 to Janelle’s favorite (legal, non-profit) charity if she’ll let 5 of us drop in for a chat with her lawyer, whom she claims to have retained, although she hasn’t yet revealed who that lawyer is.
If Janelle is concerned about raping her lawyer’s identity by posting her lawyer’s name here, she can have her lawyer contact my lawyer. Actually (unfortunately?) I have three lawyers who I occasionally consult with, but for general matters and getting referrals to specialists, I use the law offices of Richard B. Schneider, LLC. Jenelle, have your people get in touch with my people and we’ll set something up. You can Google them.
@Bob: Why in the world do you have 3 lawyers?
And yeah, I’ll throw $20 into that kitty too.
I like kitties. $20 from me too.
I got $20 on watching Janelle Jeffries trying to present her case to a lawyer as well.
One is for general purposes, estate planning, etc. The other two are only for occasional contacts for business-related matters.
I HAVE A LAWYER, ONCE AGAIN REPEATING MYSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN–I KNOW THAT SURPRISES THOSE WHO ARE DEFAMING, SLANDERING ME WITH LIBEL HERE. YOU GUYS ARE SO SICK TREATING MY INVASION OF PRIVACY AS A SICK, TWISTED GAME–VIRTUAL RAPERS ARE WHAT YOU ARE.
Janelle, I think your keyboard is broken.
WHO MY LAWYER IS, IS MY PRIVATE BUSINESS. I KNOW PRIVATE INFORMATION IS HARD FOR THE SLANDERS/DEFAMERS/ THOSE WHO ARE LIBEL TO ME TO UNDERSTAND. WHEN I FILE MY CLAIM, YOU WILL KNOW.
Wait, I thought you had to pay to have them *not* put your name in the phone book.
If you’re using text-to-speech on your computer and someone writes something libelous, does it become slander, too?
http://people.rit.edu/ajl8838/Web%20Dev/im…
I CAN TYPE WITH THE CAPS LOCK KEY ON, TOO, JANELLE C. JEFFRIES. NOW WILL YOU OWN UP TO YOUR FALSEHOODS?
God, this is more fun than licking stamps at the Timothy Leary memorial fund. (I guess.)
I probably should have just published all of my predictions. Then I would look like some kinda crazy prophet or something. Instead, you need to believe me when I say that I knew that the ALL CAPS WERE COMING.
See, this is why I haven’t talked yet about that bar we all drink at. Because soon she’ll be making death threats, and will actually wander into the realm of legally actionable behavior. We may very well have driven a borderline personality right the fuck over said line. I’m not sure how to feel about this.
@tk: My understanding is that it is still libel. Slander is saying something directly, libel is using something else to say something. My understanding is that slander involves suing the mouth/hand/bodypart of the person that said/signed/etc something. If it is libel, then you communicating it via some sort of intermediate technology, be it radio waves, (yes, radio broadcasts are libel,) printing presses or the like. You aren’t suing the electromagnetic spectrum nor the paper itself, you are suing the person committed the offense. So I’d have to guess that text to speech is still libel.
Wait, so would a phone call be libel, then?
“Wait, so would a phone call be libel, then?”
Well, certainly if you called a Google Voice number which automatically transcribes voicemails into text, but otherwise I don’t know. I still have two Google Voice invitations to hand out. I’ll give them to the first two people who are actually sued in this matter by anyone. (Must have proof of papers filed in a local or state court.)
@Rich: Yeah, I changed my picture just in time for her to realize that I drink with Mr Cracker.
She asked earlier, (150 comments or so ago,) what exactly I was hiding/what was I afraid of, and I didn’t answer, (had to get some work done, you know,) but I wanted to reply that I wasn’t about to do her job for her, I wasn’t going to troll both sides of the fight, that I didn’t need to tell her that I’m afraid of heights and if she could work that into the discussion she might get somewhere. But besides that I wasn’t born yesterday and when cops ask “Do you know why I pulled you over?” I don’t have an answer. (I suspect that she started listing things off: “The Mexicans I have in the trunk?” “The 12 year old girl that isn’t wearing any pants in the passenger seat?” “The bottle of rum that I just finished and threw out the window?” “Ohh, right, one of the lights is burned out on my license plate. Thanks officer, you’ll forget about all my other guesses won’t you?”) Which may be why she has a criminal conviction and I don’t.
But now I have a reason to not tell her where my Facebook page is: I fear for my personal safety from someone who has accused me of rape even though I’ve never actually been in the same room with them.
Incidentally, I just used Timothy Leary’s name here without his permission (pre or posthumously), although if anyone is guilty of some kind of virtual mind/identity rape against anyone, I suspect the blame falls more on him than on me.
You will all acknowledge my relevancy or I will have a tantrum.
“if ABS is indicitive of the quality of the supporters that Volm has, then her campaign is screwed. I think some of those sentences were created using a Madlibs book. They just don’t make sense.” -Graham, before Janelle even showed up.
@tk: If it was a conference call, then yes, I think so, but I don’t know for sure… But a straight person to person call is neither. One of the other things that goes along with defamation is that it has to lead to damages. There are no damages done by listening to someone call you up and tell you you eat babies for breakfast, you are the only person listening to that, so nobody is going to cancel your spokesman deal because they think you are a cannibal. (Of course, it could be harassment, but that is another topic entirely.)
@Bob: Sweet, we can use those to plan our drinking, I mean, “defense.”
WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES, JANELLE? WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES???
@ Rich bachelor: I used all caps earlier as I was tired of repeating myself so people could see my words better, and I stated that.
The sick thing you don’t realize is that you are continuing to defame me. You don’t see that I’m actually concerned of my safety, not so much from people on this blog but for whatever real mentally ill person that may find the user profile name Google (using my full legal name). I have a real concern for my safety especially since Graham compiled on the Internet links he could find on me and posted it on this blog.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the people who are slandering me, defaming me and are being libel to me on the blog site realize the danger you put me in by doing that. Like I said, I used my first name in my user profile only and then changed my user profile name to zzzzzzz soon after Matthew D. started quoting me from a 9/1/09 blog that has nothing to do with this blog. Then, not too long after that, Graham posted my full legal name. Too make matters worse, the user name Google (my full legal name) is on this blog.
At worse case, if I show up dead, or someone decides to still my identity or some other safety thing happens to me; I believe it will be because of this blog with all my personal information plastered everywhere.
Had I known ahead of time that people would want to do a search on my first name to find out my full name and plaster it all over this blog with personal links about me, I would have used a nickname or something with my user profile to begin with.
I have indicated to this blog that I have been a victim of rape on two occaisions, a victim of menacing and a victim of identity in the past. The courtesy thing to do would be to not continally post personal information about me instead of calling me a liar and posting everything you can about me.
I have a real serious concern about my personal safety and privacy. Especially after the actions of Graham and Google (my real full name). I feel that I have no choice but to file a libel/defamation/slander claim as the Portland Mercury editor and publisher have told me they will not delete anything.
As a woman, I should be able to reveal my full name on a website when I choose to do that. Not by some stranger Graham on a blog. Graham posted my full name on December 10, 2009 at 8:16am and on 12/10/09 he compiled serveral Internet links about me.
This saddens me that I am put in this situation, but I did not ask to reveal my full name or all those links on this blog. This was projected on this website by Graham. Google (my full name) user profile is still not helping my personal and safety concerns. But ultimately, The Portland Mercury editor and publisher are choosing to have my personal information here against my will as they have the power to delete comments that reveal personal information about me that was posted here by others.
So, if something does happen to me because a real person who is mentally ill hurts/kills me, the Internet will be a good source to pop up my obituary. Please think about how my personal safety has been compromised against my will.
Hey, the Mercury profile “GOOGLE JANELLE C. JEFFRIES” is now the #2 hit on Google for “JANELLE C. JEFFRIES”. Can it become a #1 hit single?
But what about Mary Volm, Janelle? People know her real name, and aren’t killing her. Why would anyone kill you just because they know your name?
I meant in that last post “victim of identity theft,” I accidentally left one word out. Also, Graham posted a compilation of links about me on 12/10/09 at 2:32pm without my consent. I accidentally left out the time.
“The courtesy thing to do would be to not continally post personal information about me instead of calling me a liar and posting everything you can about me.”
The _courteous_ thing to do would be to not repeatedly lie and then lay the blame for your own failings upon others, and then fall back to your (previously undisclosed) past tragedy as some kind of retroactive shield against criticism.
Is this what Marylhurst is turning out these days?
My father has a degree from Marylhurst and my partner is considering going there to complete his bachelor’s. From our economic perspective, it will be a very, very expensive education, but the school has a good reputation. But if this is what passes these days for a sophisticated liberal arts education instilling values of life-long learning and critical reasoning, PSU may do just fine.
I am not a liar. I was raped two times when I was a 16 year old runaway. I was menaced in the fall of 2000. The first time I was a victim of identity theft was in 2002.
Your sickness on here is sick. It’s like you want someone to hurt me.
Janelle, it was explained to you in ALL CAPS much earlier today: Nobody is accusing you of lying about your rape experiences. That is truly a tragedy and not something which should befall anybody. I hope the perpetrator was brought to justice.
Your reading comprehension (or willful and brilliant habit of misconstruing what people actually write) is dreadful. You are being accused of lies, very early in this thread, before anybody brought up the concept of rape. You were the first to mention it, well AFTER proof of your lies _in_ _this_ _thread_ had been revealed.
You were given the opportunity to state it was a mistake, to restate your assertions, to walk back your remarks, etc., and you did not do so.
You are therefore a liar. And not a very good one. But a highhackalarious troll.
JANELLE, THIS IS THE LIE. LOOK AT THE TWO STATEMENTS YOU MADE. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. THE FIRST ONE IS NOT TRUE. YOU ARE A LIAR BECAUSE OF IT. YOU BEING A LIAR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RAPE.
“My first name, I provided, people dug up my last name–that’s why I switched to zzzzzzz. I switched to zzzzzzz because my last name is usually only provided to friends–not dug up by strangers.”
“I DID NOT CHOOSE TO USE MY FULL NAME IN THIS BLOG, GRAHAM DID THAT. I ONLY USED MY FIRST NAME BEFORE I SWITCHED TO ZZZZZZZ AFTER PEOPLE STARTED TO POST BLOGS I POSTED IN SEPTEMBER HERE AND THEN GRAHAM POSTED MY FULL NAME.”
BREAKING: Loaded Orygun is now reporting on the Volm situation and the nature of this very comment thread. Is an bloggasm of meta-referencial cross posting about to occur?
http://www.loadedorygun.net/diary/2085/vol…
@zzzzzzz: Couple things
I) It isn’t a separate blog, it is a separate thread. It is exactly the same blog. If it was a separate blog, it would have taken more than one click to do it.
II) You do realize that both your full name, and your lawyer’s full name will be listed on the summons when you sue us?
III) You sure seem to want to be put on a pedestal a lot, “as a woman.” (You’ve used that line 4 times now.)
IV) If knowing someone’s full name is a threat to their safety, then why isn’t the owner of my company suing for an article where they mentioned her full name earlier this week? (She didn’t even know she was in it until I told her about it. That shows what sort of threat it was to her safety, random employees come up to her in the hall and say: “Hey I saw you in the paper. Well, not the paper exactly, but the newspaper’s blog.”)
You’re right, Matthew – A few weeks ago the Oregonian blog did a brief item on me and it came as a complete surprise. Little did I know I was actually in tremendous danger of physical attack.
If Janelle’s lawsuit is successful, I’ll sue the Oregonian for 10X whatever Janelle gets out of us. They may be nearly bankrupt, but they’ve still got deeper pockets than me. Maybe not as deep as Rich Bachelor’s pockets (does he play both sides of the fence, by the way?), but sufficient enough.
“If it was a separate blog, it would have taken more than one click to do it.”
Careful there — Amazon has the patent on one-click ordering. They may come after you for trying to apply the same one-click method to online menacing. Those are some guys you don’t want to get sued by. (Or, as my English teacher would admonish, “Those are some guys by whom you don’t want to get sued”, followed closely by “Up with this bullshit I shall not put.”)
I WILL NOT STAND FOR YOUR ABUSE!!! I AM NOT A LIAR!!!!!!! MY USER PROFILE NAME CHANGED FROM MY FIRST NAME TO ZZZZZZZ. THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED WAS MY PROFILE IDENTITY NAME. I THINK GOOGLE AND BOB R. ARE THE COLDEST LIARS!! I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS VERBAL ASSAULT. CHECK IT OUT THE PROFILE IDENTITY OF GOOGLE (MY FULL NAME)WASN’T ALWAYS THAT. HE HAD A DIFFERENT PROFILE NAME AS WELL. HE WAS “YOU’VE BEEN POISONED” THEN “BACK FOR THE POLITICS” BEFORE SWITCHING TO GOOGLE (MY FULL NAME). CALL THE PORTLAND MERCURY. ONCE YOU CHANGE YOUR PROFILE NAME, YOUR OLD PROFILE NAME DISAPPEARS. I AM NOT A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CHECK YOUR OWN THREAD GOOGLE. YOU CAME ON 12/10/09 AROUND 12:32PM AS “YOU’VE BEEN POISONED.” YOUR OLD ID PROFILE NAMES AREN’T THERE, I WROTE THEM DOWN BEFORE YOU CHANGED THEM.
I AM NOT A LIAR!!! THIS LIBEL/SLANDER/DEFAMATION SUIT, I WILL WIN!!!
Yes, Janelle. All users can change their user name, just like you did. Does this confuse you?
“I AM NOT A LIAR!!!!!!! MY USER PROFILE NAME CHANGED FROM MY FIRST NAME TO ZZZZZZZ.”
Let me restate this very slowly for you:
Nobody is disputing that you changed your user name.
The issue is that you made false statements as to the timing of this change, and as to the reason for this change.
But feel free to keep creating your own reality. It isn’t pretty, but it’s at least original.
Where the fuck is Kiala and her awesome adult-to-5y.o. translating abilities?
This is amazing ya’ll. Simply amazing. I will sleep well for the first time in many nights. My hope in humanity is saved (yes I’m not being sarcastic).
I will forever remember the day Janelle told me I could sue the Oregonian for using my real name.
Idiot.
I really hope that Janelle Jeffries sues Google for indexing websites that contain her full name. Or that she sues Facebook for posting her full name. Or that she sues Marylhurst for using her full name. Or that she sues Street Roots for using her full name. Or that she sues me for using her full name.
I would just like to make clear that anything and everything I’ve said about her is just my personal opinion and not drawn from evidence-based science. I’ve never met Janelle Jeffries in person and anything I could possibly know or think about her is pure conjecture. I apologize if anyone took anything I said as cold, hard fact.
But here is a fact: As of this comment, there will be approximately 330 comments on this blog post. About 82 of those comments are from Janelle Jeffries. My amazing math skills state that 24.8% of these comments are posted by Janelle Jeffries herself. I don’t know what that truly signifies, but it’s gotta mean something interesting.
“but it’s gotta mean something interesting.”
The night is young. Y’all talk it over. I’m joining BlackedOut (metaphorically) in a good night’s sleep. 🙂
Parting observation: “Janelle C. Jeffries” now turns up the Mercury profile as the #1 hit, above the Facebook profile.
@Wm.(TM) Steven Humphrey: I want a pizza roll.
Also I want a user to user messaging service. I know I can look up Kiala’s e-mail address, but a cat is right, we need her on this thread to say “Explain it to me like I’m five years old.”
This is hands down the best thread I have ever read, on any site. Many thanks to all involved for creating such spectacular entertainment.
@Broseph Goebbels: Sweet, now I have you identity and can steal your soul. Although I think your soul may be a job best left for the squirrels.
Matthew D, why are you not in the ********* yet? Contact Graham, he’ll give you the details.
OK, I’m off to work. Hopefully today will be a bit more productive than yesterday. Thanks for a great thread, everyone. This was the greatest homecoming ever.
[anyone else checked Janelle’s Facebook account today?]
per Zzzzzzz’s profile: “A brand-spankin’ new member of this here community.” as of 8am, 12/11/09.
Looks like more lies.
This thread represents the high-water mark of the Internet, no question.
I was looking at the other websites that had raped Janelle, and: the BTA lists me as dead.
Clearly I should sue the BTA for murder.
“[anyone else checked Janelle’s Facebook account today?]”
Yes…her notes are entertaining.
“Congratulations, you are now a publisher
This is the rub. Anyone who operates a blog is now considered a journalist, and subject to the same rules as any other international publisher. Now, I don’t believe for a minute that everyone in the “blogsphere” understands the tenets for reporting about celebrities and how the laws are different for a “Limited purpose public figure”, much less, the rules for publishing facts about private citizens.
Goodbye Anonymity
Anonymous bloggers are learning that they do not have “carte blanche” to defame and libel people using the web, and a judge has ordered the identification of a “anonymous” blog poster:
Councilman Patrick Cahill is pursuing a libel lawsuit and wants the court to unmask the identity of the person who posted the messages to an Internet blog under the alias “Proud Citizen.”
A Superior Court judge has ordered Internet provider Comcast Cable to release the Web address of the person who posted the messages.
To improve goodwill (and performing a public service), Microsoft recently spent millions of dollars tracking-down phishers to hold them accountable for their crimes:
Microsoft’s lawsuits were brought under the Lanham Act, a federal trademark protection law that carries a maximum of $1 million fine per violation. The so-called “John Doe” suits are generally used when the plaintiff does not know the names of the defendants.
Every Web site and e-mail contains a unique Internet address that can be traced back to the service that hosts it. Once a federal judge gives consent for the lawsuits to go forward, the company can subpoena the Internet service providers from which the phishing scams originated in an attempt to force the ISPs to reveal the identities of the account holders.
Libel and the limits of the First Amendment
United States Courts have long recognized limits to the free speech clause of the First Amendment and it does not give you the right to scream “fire” in a crowded theatre (US Supreme Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1919).
This is especially true with regard to false publications so inflammatory that they would incite a reasonable person to committing illegal acts. In these cases the Defendants published lies that were so offensive that the publishers could reasonably forecast harassment, threats and intimidation to result from their publications. (see Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942), Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), Feiner v. New York, 340 U.S. 315 (1951), Cox v. Louisiana, 377 U.S. 288 (1965)).
We must remember that the “right to your own opinion” has Constitutional limits and those who defame others cannot drape themselves in the First Amendment and prevail: (see Boyce v. Wake County)
“The use of a known lie as a tool is at once at odds with the premises of democratic government and with the orderly manner in which economic, social, or political change is to be effected.
Hence the knowingly false statement and the false statement made with reckless disregard of the truth, do not enjoy constitutional protection.”
The US Courts have the right to restrict speech if the speech constitutes “Fighting Words”. Fighting Words means speech usually intended to be a personal insult and directed to a specific person, which by their very utterance inflict injury and tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.
Fighting Words are not protected under the First Amendment because their slight social value is outweighed by the government’s compelling interest in social order. (see Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942), Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), Feiner v. New York, 340 U.S. 315 (1951), Cox v. Louisiana, 377 U.S. 288 (1965)).
Cyberlibel cases are exploding
Cyberstalking and Cyberlibel laws in the USA have made it clear that internet harassment and defamation are serious offenses. Here are some US laws that are being used to prosecute internet harassment, invasion of privacy and defamation:
“It is the policy of the United States — to ensure vigorous enforcement of Federal criminal laws to deter and punish trafficking in obscenity, stalking, and harassment by means of computer”. (see 47 U.S.C. § 230(b)(5))
“Electronically mail or electronically communicate to another and to knowingly make any false statement concerning death, injury, illness, disfigurement, indecent conduct, or criminal conduct of the person electronically mailed or of any member of the person’s family or household with the intent to abuse, annoy, threaten, terrify, harass, or embarrass.” (see North Carolina Code §14-169.3(b)(3))
Federal law 47 U.S.C. § 223(a)(1)(C) penalizes whoever:
(1) in interstate or foreign communications-
(C) makes a telephone call or utilizes a telecommunications device, whether or not conversation or communication ensues, without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person at the called number or who receives the communications.
Intrusion and false light claims as types of invasion of privacy actions:
1 – intrusion upon the plaintiff’s seclusion or solitude or into his private affairs; and
2 – publicity which places the plaintiff in a false light in the public eye.
More than ever before, injured parties are seeking remedies for damage to their business and reputation, and many of these cases are related to “anonymous” postings in message boards, chat rooms, forums and blogs.
Now, more than ever before, victims are fighting back and participants in message boards, chat rooms, forums and blogs are now being hailed into court in record numbers.
Cyber libel can be a criminal offense
Any internet publisher must be cognizant of the laws of more than 190 countries and the varied State laws in the USA. While a flippant insult or anonymous jab might be legal within your jurisdiction, the libelous comment might actually be a crime if the injured party resides in an area with strict anti-defamation laws.”

Congratulations, zzzzzzz a.k.a. Janelle C. Jeffries, you have just lifted a copyrighted article and reposted it here. Unlike any of the other people here, who under the terms of the very article you just pilfered are NOT liable for anything, YOU may very well have just violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, unless you can show how reposting an entire article, rather than merely excerpting and linking, constitutes “fair use” in this instance.
I know you have two brain cells to rub together, as that many are required to copy, paste, and then click “preview comment” followed by “post comment”. But the number of additional cells is increasingly in doubt.
Warning to all content providers: Janelle C. Jeffries _may_ be a profligate pirate. Watch out!
Janelle, why are you savagely raping the intellectual property rights of that article’s author??? WHY ARE YOU A RAPIST???
I just want to point out that this is the quote of the year: “Your sickness on here is sick.”
I think I will use it on 411 or FB whenever I’m dealing with overly persistent folks.
“I think I’m within my own self-directed protocol to ignore multiple one-line messages that say ‘woof!’ and nothing else, so I don’t know why you’re using that kind of language and making those baseless accusations. Your sickness on here is sick.”
Woof!
What Janelle Jeffries seems completely oblivious to is the fact that true speech is not slanderous speech. If her name is really Janelle Jeffries and she really did lie repeatedly about easily provable facts, then to say that her name is Janelle Jeffries and that she lied is not libelous speech. Game. Set. Match.
My lawyer (named, above) has not yet received notice from Janelle C. Jeffrie’s lawyer (as yet unnamed) about any lawsuit.
Come on, Janelle, own up to your threats. The day is half over! Don’t make us wait all weekend for the subpoenas to drop.
(Please note, the word “subpoena” is not an obscenity. Thank you for your time and attention.)
Too late, Bob– I’ve seen you make eloquent arguments! I would treat it like the irony it is and totally woof back.
I’m on to your little trick, here!
Thanks for the insight, Graham. I’m pretty sure that kind of clear-eyed analysis will settle the matter for her.
“I’ve seen you make eloquent arguments!”
For god’s sake, don’t tell anyone! I have a reputation to downhold.
PS… Woof?
Wait… Are Bob and Alexjon making with the bear flirting? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_(gay_cul…
Graham reveals the gay bear flirting rituals without permission and is therefore virtually raping all gay bears. Nice going, honorary virtual gay bear rapist Graham.
@Bob FUCK YEAH! I am SO proud to be an honorary virtual gay bear rapist! Momma is gonna be so proud of me!
If we could only get a vintage Matt Davis flame-out (a la Tropic Thunder-gate) in here, this would be the greatest thread in /b/town history.
@A CAT: Matt has made some signifigant life changes since the dust-up. He seems quite a bit more calm now. But he is excited that you’re back. It was the extra cherry in his sundae.
Matt’s “personal growth” is actually one of the major contributing factors to me generally avoiding /b/town. Thank g_d that people like Janelle C. Jeffries show up on occasion so I can make a guest appearance.
Once again, people lie, lie, and lie on this yellow journalistic so-called blog on “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council?”–Portland Mercury’s finest display of the type of cyber stalkers they attract to harass citizens privacy of themselves and family.
Bob R., I quoted paragraphs from that article and if you went to the link to read the whole thing, you’d see it was not the whole article—I’m sure you saw the beginning and end quotes.
Graham, the fact remains that you, without my consent at this Portland Mercury Blog posted my full name on this website December 10, 2009 at 8:16am. Graham was the first to insult me December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm. Despite my asking people to respect my privacy as a citizen, woman who has been a victim of rape, identity theft and menacing, “the embodiment of innocence” user-profiler now who was called “Google (insert my full name)” yesterday promoted people to search me on the Internet.
The real sick thing here, folks, is that Graham posted several Internet 6 links December 10, 2009 at 2:32pm with an obituary of my Grand Aunt who died recently, which the majority of my family has listed, as well as myself. Privacy now has not just been disturbed by me, but now my whole family.
Just because my full name is on the Internet in other websites does not give any amateur journalist (that is what anyone is called here who posts a comment on a blog see my last post) the authority to post my last name and all my family combined. A journalist needs to ask a person to post his/her first last name. I’m not being interviewed here. The “Portland Mercury: BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council?” blog here is not THE INTERNET, it is a part of the Internet. I never consented to Graham to post my full name, and all those links FOUND ON OTHER WEBSITES to be posted on this blog.
No, your sickness here must be exposed to everyone with the facts. It is sick because several people here invaded my privacy as amateur journalists invaded my privacy on this blog. Not too mention the mental illness labels several commenters’ here have posted about me.
Bob R., I will file my claim when I’m ready to. You see, all of you keep on posting more things to build my case. Rest assured the perpetuators here who were libel, slanderous, defamed me, and invaded my privacy; you will know who my attorney is when I file my claim. I hope the people who have slandered, defamed, and were libel toward me can get help and realize that when you endanger other’s personal safety, that is harmful.
@Janelle Jeffries: Please point out anything that I’ve said that is demonstrably not true. If I am wrong or incorrect, I WILL admit to it.
What’s an Internet 6?
WHO TOLD YOU THE GAY BEAR SECRETS, GRAHAM!?
Quick, Bob! Jump on my back! We’ll flee to a place where bears are safe!
No, not the Purgle. Home Depot. We can crack jokes about the caulk and nod knowingly to the lesbians.
@Janelle Jeffries: Just so that you’re aware: Oregon Revised Statute 31.152(2) states that after the people you sue for libel successfully file an anti-SLAPP injunction against your frivelous lawsuit, you will be liable for our attorney fees. Just thought you should know.
Janelle, if you think anyone has done anything wrong here, you can contact the Mercury’s published at steve@portlandmercury.com, or you can call him at 503-294-0840. Ask for Steve. He’ll get things sorted out for you.
Jokes about caulk in your crack:

@Jenelle C. Jeffries:
Have you ever considered taking English classes?
My partner is interviewing at Marylhurst right now. We’ll see if they’ll consider reinstating a writing requirement for graduate candidates.
Tee-hee, cock in crack
Also, @Graham wins for citing Oregon law. I was waiting for actual relevant statutes to come flying out of the woodwork.
Uh… typo. I think.
Graham, what you are not understanding, and I don’t know why is that Freedom of Speech has limits. Also, citizens have privacy. The Portland Mercury website here is just that, a website, not THE INTERNET. You, as an amateur journalist without my consent posted my full name as well as six Internet links about me and insulted me in serveral other comments.
Why do I need to repeat myself so many times? An amateur journalist reporter can’t just post personal information about someone in a blog (see my two posts ago comment)without his/her permission.
Why not print out all the comments, go back and read what you did to me. Your first insult to me: December 8, 2009 at 2:19pm, December 10, 2009 8:16am posting my full name and December 10, 2009 posting 6 Internet links about me and my family. The comments here, aren’t all the ones in which you gave more insults. If you still can’t figure out right from wrong by now, why? The fact remains The Portland Mercury Blog topic is not my personal information, full name and web links provided by you, Graham. The topic for this blog is on Mary Volm, but for some reason you wanted to blast anything and everything about me. Do you not understand about privacy?
I provided my first name only to this blog, you searched throughout the web to post my full name and personal web links about me into this blog without my permission. Furthermore, the topic of this blog is not about me. You misused and abused my personal information by posting my full name and web links about me and my family. That is not ok to do that with my privacy. Blogs are still regulated by laws which limit freedom of speech. Everytime you and others here continue to use my full name, you are doing that without my consent.
Contact the Mercury’s publisher, Janelle. He can correct this for you.

@Janelle Jeffries:
Several things:
1. I did not insult you on 12/08/2009 14:19. I do not know why you think I insulted you. Please stop saying that I insulted you. That statement is a lie and I feel that by making this statement you’ve held me up for contempt, hated and ridicule.
2. You have on numerous occasions accused me of making sexist remarks towards you and other women. This is not true. I feel that by making this statement you’ve held me up for contempt, hated and ridicule.
3. On numerous occaisons you have accused me of being a rapist. That is not true. I feel that by making this statement you’ve held me up for contempt, hated and ridicule.
I would appreciate it if you would retract all of these statements as none of them are true and are causing me adverse unpleasant feelings.
All others seeking retractions are also welcome to contact the publisher.

@ the embodiment of innocence, I’ve done that and I indicated that several comments ago. In addition, this yellow journalistic Portland Mercury Blog here has a “Report this comment” function in which you select either: Off topic, threatening, or spam box to check, but the editor and publisher only have it for decoration.
@ Bob R. BTW, if you read all the links Graham posted without my permission, you’ll see that I received my first Bachelor of Arts from Marylhurst University in 2008. So, I certainly completed their writing requirements. After so much verbal attacks here with people invading my privacy I can only compete so long with my own human strain. I’m not a professional writer.
Once again, I certainly have not enjoyed the unwanted interview here on this blog that’s supposed to be about Mary Volm but instead, Graham decided to make it an entertainment piece in which I was the uninformed guest of honor.
What did he say about your request, Janelle? He’s normally very responsive to phone calls.
Janelle, if you aren’t having any luck with the publisher retracting these statements, you might try with the Mercury’s investigative journalist. Perhaps he could do an expose! Here are his contact details:
Matt Davis
503-502-2106
matthewcharlesdavis@gmail.com
Good luck!
“Who are you Matthew D.–(that last comment was intended for you, however I still wouldn’t be suprised if rich bachelor is Mayor Adams)? Is that just the same as Matt Davis? People who are afraid to identify themselves have things to hide. I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.”
Posted by zzzzzzz on December 9, 2009 at 1:37 PM
“in which I was the uninformed guest of honor.”
That is the most accurate thing you’ve said in 72 hours, but unfortunately I’m reasonably sure you don’t realize why.
OMG 3RD ACT SHOCKER!
@Janelle Jeffries: On 12/08/2009 18:23 You stated that you had graduated from Marylhurst University in 2008. In the body of your comment you also stated that your first name is Janelle. I was curious if these were true statements or not [this is called fact checking]. So I googled the words, “janelle marylhurst 2008”. This is the result that came up: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=… As of 12/11/2009 15:13 the top result has your full name explicitly written in the summary of the top link [a link to a 2008 press release from Marylhurst University listing recent graduates].
HA!!!!
I love your consistency, Will.
I’m posting here because it’s apparently the awesome thing to do!
Hi, Tara! Welcome to Blogtown!
I want to bring this all back to gay bear rape. Why are you getting off topic?
“I want to bring this all back to gay bear rape.”
Bear backing, got it.
Hi Tara! Welcome to Crazy Party 2009!
New slogan?
Blogtown: Where everyone is figuratively raped by a gay bear.
Here are some comment compilations of insults and invasions of my privacy by Graham. Graham has said that for those who support Mary Volm they “come off souding like insecure wack-jobs” (December 8, 2009 at 9:58pm), called me a “defensive bigot” on December 9, 2009 at 12:24pm, he displayed my full name without my consent on December 10, 2009, 8:16am, said that he felt that I am “suffering some sort of mental disorder” (December 10, 2009, 10:29am), on December 10, 2009 11:15am he provides information to “seek some sort of counseling to help you deal with your persecution issues”, says “the market forces have spoken and they really want you to seek professional counseling services to help you deal with whatever seems to be troubling you” December 10, 2009 at 12:38pm, says, “Street Roots can put you in touch with some pro bono mental health providers”, and Graham then list six internet links with personal information about me without my permission on December 10, 2009, 2:32pm (see his quotes below).
Graham lists several more comments not posted here due to the numerous length and time consuming effort that it takes to do this, about me that insult and invade my privacy every time he uses my full name without my authorization.
Graham: December 8, 2009, 2:19pm:
“@[my first name]: Do you even know who Cat Woman is? She’s not the savior of “Gotham City” by any means. Selina Kyle is a jewel thief and vamp. Also, you’re not a literal person… What exactly are you then? A zeitgeist maybe, or a collective unconsious [sic] with an internet connection?”
Graham: December 8, 2009, 9:58pm:
“@ABS & [my first name]: If the two of you represent the level of support and intellectual rigor that can be expected from Ms. Volm’s supporters… well… I feel sorry for whomever her campaign manager turns out to be. It’s tough when the most vocal people on your side come off sounding like insecure defensive wack-jobs.”
Graham: December 9, 2009, 12:24pm:
“So essentially [my first name] is a defensive bigot and ABS is a deranged schizo.
The candidate is dating someone who failed to show any leadership skills on the highest profile political campaign in PDX during the last year. The copy on her website is in desperate need of a copy editor and she has posted no positions or platforms. So all we have to go off of for her judging her worthiness as a candidate are her Facebook page (I refuse to use Facebook, so I’ve got no idea what it says) and her vocal supporters. Still not looking good for Ms. Volm.”
Graham: December 9, 2009, 1:44pm:
“[my first name]: Do you consider yourself a bigot? Because you have repeatedly made bigoted statements. Is there a reason why you jumped straight in to ad hominem attacks against people who dared to criticize your chosen candidate? Why are you so quick to tell us your GPA and educational background(protip: no one cares)? Your ability to carry yourself and to promote the message of the candidate you’re supporting are sadly lacking. I would recomend [sic] that you take a step back and examine your writing style and motivations. Are you supporting Ms. Volm simply because you identify with a single mother? Or do you agree with her platform (protip: please say what her platform is so that we can debate things that actually matter)?”
Graham, December 10, 2009, 8:16am:
“@[my full name]: Nicely played! You really showed him.”
Graham, December 10, 2009, 10:29am:
“Friends! Brethren! /b/Towners! It is obvious that [ my full name] is suffering some sort of mental disorder. I am not qualified or certified in accurately diagnosing what sort of problem she has, but I am qualified in stating that we are not helping her by poking her with metaphorical sticks.
I feel that we should back off and hopefully she will stop acting out and maybe realize that she is engaging in unhealthy behaviors. I can only wish her the best and hope that she receives the sort of help and mental health support that she so obviously and desperately needs.”
Graham, December 10, 2009, 11:15am:
“@[my full name]: The first step in solving our problems is accepting that we have said problems. This is often the most difficult step. I really do hope that you seek some sort of counseling to help you deal with your persecution issues. I would recommend Cascaida Behavioral Healthcare (simply because they came up first on a Google search). http://www.cascadiabhc.org/ or 503.238.0769”
Graham, December 10, 2009, 12:38pm:
“@[my full name misspelled]: You claim to be a liberatian… Well, the market forces have spoken and they really want you to seek professional counseling services to help you deal with whatever seems to be troubling you. Unfortunately, as an unemployed libertarian, I’m not entirely sure how you’re going to pay for said counseling. Maybe if you were a socialist you could morally take advantage of the numerous free community services offered by the city, county or state.”
Graham, December 10, 2009, 12:58pm:
“@[my full name]: I’m so sorry that I misspelled your name. I won’t do it again. But really, get help. I’m sure that the staff at Street Roots can put you in touch with some pro bono mental health providers. It will make your life so much more manageable than it currently is.”
Graham, December 10, 2009, 2:32pm:
“@[my full name]: The following is a list of places that have your full name on their website. They are all raping you. Some of them even have photos of you; that’s like double-rape. [lists six outside Internet links about me and my family]”
Janelle, have you called the publisher yet? He’s the only one that can get this information removed from the blog so you can remain safe. Call Steve, he’ll stop the raping.
[Whatever happened to the pizza rolls?]

You’d rather sit here and be just as entertained as we are. I appreciate the love you have for us, this is truly a wonderful holiday gift.
Bear me in the bearhole, Bob R.
I would like to apologize to Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare for dragging their name into this. I just referenced them due to their positioning on a Google search [good job guys, high google ranking is a quality accomplishment].
Poor Graham, clearly confused. He apparently thinks that the Portland Mercury Blog is THE INTERNET. He also thinks that the topic is about me so he posts as much information about me as possible. Clearly, he has been confused since December 8, 2009.
It’s ok Graham, I can help you with your confusion. This blog is titled: “Breaking: Mary Volm for City Council? Election 2010 News” by Matt Davis posted on Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 10:36am.
Now, do yourself a favor and stop posting personal information about people here who never asked to have their full name and website links about themselves posted on this blog, a website, not THE INTERNET. Please stick to the topic. But, I know you can’t, because you clearly have proven you can’t stay on the topic of this Blog. Thank you.
“list six internet links with personal information about me without my permission”
I think you should probably contact the editors and webmasters of those respective websites for raping your privacy.
@Janelle Jeffries: Wait, are you saying that the Mercury’s Blog is not on the internet? Um… Would care to elaborate on that idea?
“I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.”
What’s up everyone? Wheeee!
Starting with the publisher of this site is probably a good idea.

I love how quickly this would have been shut down on Questionland, and that Wm. is just going to let it go on forever.
400 GET.
400, I’m awesome
Let’s arrange a trade.
Slog will give Blogtown Loveschild, and Blogtown can give Slog Janelle.
Janelle zzzzzzzz Jeffries clearly is enjoying the attention. any sane person would have bugged out long ago. that she keeps playing this game with Graham et al demonstrates that this is fun for her. possibly in a psychotic way, but fun nonetheless. Matthew, at least, went out for a drink and staff party. Janelle zzzzzzzzz seems to have not moved from her keyboard in days.
i’m not sure, but i’m guessing that posting a comment to a blog makes you part of a public conversation, and, if you choose to hide your identity, tough noogies if someone outs you. this has been going on since the Internet 1, nevermind Internet 6 (made with SuperTubes). people have been outed like this for since a week after Tim Berners-Lee made the first browser and the first troll thought he could get away with sneaky snark. the law may be unsettled on this, but it’s one of the most common things on all 6 of the Nets: finding out who trolls & anons are & then outing them (fingerization rocks).
you want to hide who you are? go to the library & post from a false hotmail account. otherwise you’re fair game.
Links, please?
That was @Alexjon, btw.
@ Bob R. No, Bob R., this is incorrect. I’ve commmented before that I’ve contacted the Portland Mercury. Here’s more information: I’ve sent e-mails to Matt Davis (news editor), Steve H. (webmaster) and Rob (publisher) on 12/10/09. I spoke to Rob (publisher) on the phone as well today, 12/11/09.
Repeating myself again, I will file a claim. People will know when I do that and will then know who my attorney is. Also, I’m going to stop repeating myself over and over here. It’s getting old.
Can people stick to the topic of the blog? I’m actually tired of seeing myself continually being character assassinated here. I think everyone else is too (the ones not insulting me and providing personal information about me against my will). I’m starting to wonder if the Portland Mercury gets paid for blog posts posted. Maybe this is why some people here are trying to keep the drama going.
Introduction to Loveschild, in which the mass-murder of gays is not genocide: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/…
OK, Janelle. Back to the topic of the post: I don’t know much about Mary Volm’s policy positions. Could you tell me about what qualities of hers appeal to you, so that I can get a better picture of her as a candidate?
@ the embodiment of innocence, go to the comment yourself. Scroll to Graham’s comment December 10, 2009, 2:32pm. I’m not going to repost those six personal links about myself which has my Great Aunt’s obituary posted with most of my family members included as well. This is sickening to me. I never gave permission to have my life posted into a blog like that.
No, Janelle. I was asking you what you felt about Mary Volm as a candidate. Nothing about yourself, I just want to know why she appeals to you as a candidate. Isn’t her candidacy the topic of this blog post?
@Janelle
Tiger Woods didn’t ask for The National Enquirer to investigate if he was doing it with a porn star or two. They found out he did. He can’t sue them for it. If you didn’t want that information on the internet you shouldn’t have put that information on the internet. There isn’t a crime in linking to anything that is public like that. Tough cookies darlin’
Please e-mail the webmasters and editors of those websites linked and complain about them raping your privacy.
KEEP CALLING STEVE!!!

@tabarnhart: Yeah, but they didn’t have any good beer at that bar though. I thought about ordering a cocktail, but it seemed like pushing my luck since I was already skipping out on the CEO’s speech to get the drink. Ohh well, it was still a good day, I got my review done, and it was good, I got a bonus, and it was good, and I got to take the afternoon off.
Yes, Janelle….if this thread is supposed to be about Mary Volm, please enlighten us on her merits as well as her political platform rather than continually bringing the conversation back around to Graham.
@tabarnhart, very offensive. Do you want to see my Great Aunt’s obituary that Graham provided December 10, 2009 at 2:32pm without my permission?? I am not “fair game” as you say–sick. I am a woman, not a politician. Portland Mercury is not THE INTERNET, only a part of it. Graham searched around for as much information about me in outside websites using my first name and then posted my full name on December 10, 2009 at 8:16am without my permission. You know, the right thing to do is everyone should see that what the Portland Mercury is doing by not deleting off topic comments is playing a role in this. I posted my first name, Graham, is the one who psychotically dug for my personal information. Once again, this blog is about Mary Holm. By the way, tabarnhart, is that your real name? I don’t regularly go to blogs. If I knew that just posting my first name would incite someone like Graham to dig up information about me, I would have used an alias/nickname.
When I went to this blog December 8th, 2009, I had no idea that Graham, and others, would want me to become the topic of the blog rather than Mary Volm. Get a clue, tabarnhart. Only one other person at this blog provided his first/last name. My full name was pulled up from other websites and then posted here against my will by Graham. I am for an individual to make the choice where s/he would like to post their full personal information. What Graham did was way out of line. Would you like Graham to find a family member obituary for you? Because I’m sure he’d love to search on the Internet for it and post it for all to see like he did to me without my consent. I’ve contacted the Portland Mercury; they won’t delete any off topic remarks here. So, yes, I will file a claim. Not that I want to, but because I want to not have my full name come up number one on Google to this blog. Thanks to the “embodiment of innocence” profile user who had his profile user name as “Google [my full name]” on December 10, 2009. This is sick.
I’m a woman who has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity theft in the past. This is an unwanted rape of my privacy which causes me to have a concern for my personal safety. Don’t you see that now people who have a real mental illness can harm me much easier now thanks to Graham foisting my personal information here? I’m going to exercise my rights to the fullest. Have you ever had someone post your full name in a blog with several personal links about yourself and one of the links is an obituary of a family member that includes a list of your relatives in it without your permission? I am not free game. I’m a citizen who should be respected that I only wanted to use my first name. I need some social justice and restorative justice here.
Mary Volm cares about the marginalized and the homeless; I will vote for her.
@Janelle C Jeffries
I’m still offering $20 just so I can see the lawyer’s face when you present him with this blog posting and then say you want to sue EVERYBODY on here who you felt insulted you.
Actually if I can bring a recording device to record his laughter I’ll give you another $20.
@Janelle Jeffries: What do you find so compelling about Mary Volm as a candidate? Please let us know what positions and platforms she will be running on and why you feel that she will make the best candidate. If possible, please refrain from saying anything sexist, racist or classist.
@Janelle Jeffries: I often feel marginalized and I have been homeless in the past. Does Mary Volm represent my interestes?
@zzzzzzz: “Only one other person at this blog provided his first/last name.”
You are a liar. Both Matt Davis, and Wm. Steven Humphrey, have provided their full names here.
“When I went to this blog December 8th, 2009, I had no idea that Graham, and others, would want me to become the topic of the blog rather than Mary Volm.”
Actually, I advised you on December 10, 2009 at 1:22 AM that the best way to make this go away would be to walk away from the computer. I know you saw that comment, you responded to it. After that, Graham posted your full name. Now you are claiming that you had no idea? If you drive though a sign that says road closed, and then fall off a half built bridge, do you get to sue the highway department?
Facts of the now: Janelle Jeffries has posted comments on this blog post 92 times. There are currently 418 comments total on this blog post. That means that Janelle Jeffries accounts for 22% of the comments on this post.
Janelle Jeffries has said the word, ‘Graham’ 82 times.
Janelle Jeffries has said the word, ‘Mary’ 27 times.
By my estimates, Janelle Jeffries cares more about me than Mary Volm by ratio of 3.2:1. I hope that means she’ll vote for me if I ever run for office.
I care about the marginalized and the homeless. Jannelle could vote for me too should I decide to run.
that would be “character-assassinated” – hyphenated.
“Repeating myself again” and “stop repeating myself over and over” – of course, brought to by the Dept of Redundacy Dept
the Merc doesn’t get paid for blog posts – Merc staffers do, but they blog as part of their regular paper duties. commenters do it for the love of the art. or in some cases, because they like to see themselves lifted high on their crucifix above the adoring masses.
@Matthew D. Excuse me, I wasn’t counting the Yellow Journalistic Portland Mercury team. I’m also beginning to wonder if some of those Yellow Journalistic Portland Mercury employees are blogging here making money off of each post wanting it to keep going to they can have a good time for the holidays. Anyways, I will get justice. I don’t care about any of you here that just hurl insult after character assassination after insult towards me. I don’t care about your personal life or who you are because you don’t care about me. I never tried to search for information on any one of you to post it here for all to see. I am not rich, nor do I wish to be rich, I am poor. Thanks to Graham, I may be poor and quite possibly homeless, sooner, rather than later. FYI, I grew up in a single-parent family and I have experiences being homeless myself. I can only think that this is one of top ten most evil things that have happened to me in my life. I will never forget this because it will continue to ruin my life. Please reread my Grand Nancy’s obituary that Graham so disrespectfully posted for your sick viewing pleasure against my will. I’ll be sure to tell all my friends about how Portland Mercury is a fiend off poor people for stories. I’ll be sure to tell all my friends if you want someone to dig up a family member’s obituary then go blog on the Portland Mercury website. It also would be very helpful for me to tell me who you’ll vote for in all upcoming elections, that way, I’ll be sure to not vote for that candidate if s/he represents your ideals.
@Janelle Jeffries: Lets get back on topic as you requested. What positions and platforms of Mary Volm’s candidacy do you think make her the superior candidate. Please refrain from any classist, racist or sexist comparisons.
Graham, I’m suprised you haven’t posted an obituary here from one of Mary Volm’s family members. Are you sleeping or something? Yep, I think you are a Portland Mercury Yellow Journalistic employee. So disrespectful, still continuing to post my first and last name. Sick.
@Janelle Jeffries: Lets get back on topic as you requested. What positions and platforms of Mary Volm’s candidacy do you think make her the superior candidate. Please refrain from any classist, racist or sexist comparisons.
@zzzzzzz: “I don’t care about your personal life”
Nobody asked about your GPA either, but that didn’t seem to have stopped you from sharing.
“Thanks to Graham, I may be poor and quite possibly homeless, sooner, rather than later.”
Huh. Yet another detail I don’t need to know about.
“Please reread my Grand Nancy’s obituary”
I never read it in the first place.
“that Graham so disrespectfully posted for your sick viewing pleasure against my will.”
I don’t care. It isn’t sick viewing pleasure, it is BORING!
“It also would be very helpful for me to tell me who you’ll vote for in all upcoming elections”
Yet another lie. Or maybe you do care about my personal life, and the sentence at the top is the lie? I don’t know.
I’m on topic, according to Graham and Portland Mercury standards. I’m still waiting for him to answer my question. When are you going to post an obituary from a family member of Mary Volm, Graham?
BlackedOut: as far as I’m concerned you don’t control the questions here or the blog and you are one of the person’s that has continued to virtual rape me. In fact, the Portland Mercury Yellow Journalistic people do. BlackedOut, tell me your full name so I can post it all over this blog over and over again. The Portland Mercury only is a good tool for toilet paper when you run out. I’ll be sure to print this blog to use for toilet paper for when I become homeless because of Graham and people like you who get off on posting my personal information without my permission. BlackedOut, you must be another employee of this fine Portland Mercury Yellow Journalistic team. BlackedOut, apparently you don’t realize that you are a contributor to the destruction of my future. The sickness just goes on and on in this Yellow Journalistic Portland Mercury Blog. I’m not forgetting that Graham posted my personal information, especially the link for my Grand Aunt so easily. Portland Mercury is doing nothing about my raping of my privacy. I will continue to type that Portland Mercury sucks. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Pass it on.
This is my protest for the raping of my privacy my last name and web link posted which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members: Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism.

@zzzzzzz: “I’ll be sure to print this blog to use for toilet paper for when I become homeless”
You’ll be homeless, but you’ll be able to afford printer paper? You do know they give the print edition away for free in little boxes all over town, right? I’d recommend you use that instead. (Although really, I’d use the Asian Reporter, the newsprint is more absorbent.)

Janelle……I thought this thread was about Mary Volm, not about Graham or yellow journalism. If you want people to stay on topic, you need to do so as well.
Oh, Bob R. and alexjon….please to recommence with the bear rape talk.
Thanks. :o)

Stop raping us, Janelle. Please, stop. We don’t like it. This doesn’t feel good. Stop raping us. Please, Janelle. Stop raping us, please. Please stop.
Janelle is clearly either psychotic or a fake. whatever, she needs help. this is just sad to see. doesn’t anyone who knows her know she’s losing it this bad? if she was actually raped, and now is equating blog commentry with rape, then she’s totally lost touch with reality.
and reading (very quickly) some of her other comments, she’s also a permanent victim.
i’ve seen this movie before.
Tabarnhart, Mary Volm would actually be an interesting person to address your concern to. She apparently has an interest in helping the marginalized, and presumably knows Janelle. Her response to this would certainly give us all some insight into her character.
Contact:

embodi, someone who is her friend should step in. this is not about her full name being posted or anything else on this post. this is an excuse, and no longer funny.
I wasn’t joking. The only person we know to be acquainted with Janelle is Mary Volm. If you think someone should intercede on her behalf, I don’t think we know of anyone else in a position to do so.
Garret is too much of a pussy to run for public office. He would be the biggest joke canidate of all!

This post is now in the top five of Google searches for “Mary Volm.” It’s #1 for “mary volm city council.”
If anyone other than Jasun Wurster was running her campaign, I’d say that whoever was running her campaign is probably horrified. Wurster probably thinks this is great publicity for his client.
Imagine, though, being a candidate for city council, and this is the first post that comes up when people who don’t know anything about you go looking for information. Yipes.
Just as I predicted: Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum Tantrum.
Oh, and virtual bear rape, for those who were wanting it…
“Zzzzzzz Top”
Damn! Why didn’t I think of that?
Owww, Yogi! I didn’t know you could do _that_ with a picinic basket!

c’mon c’mon c’mon……let’s break 500 by end of Saturday!
Also, Janelle…your spam is not helping Mary Volm’s case. Some supporter you are.
You know what is strange? If you search Google for “The Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism.” this thread isn’t the number one result. The number one result is the one about Street Roots and the PBA:
http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blogto…
I suspect that zzzzzzz’s comment looks like comment spam to Google, (after all, it is just repeating the same words over and over again,) and so this page actually gets a bad score.
if the timestamps are accurate, Matt’s previous comment was at 4am. insomnia? or running on London time? alas, at that time, Leeds United were preparing for their match at Huddersfield, which ended in a scoreless draw. probably played on cruise control, given their lead in League One. next season, back to the Championship and preparation for a return to the Premier before too long.
hey Matt, can i be the Merc’s cricket correspondent next year? there is a local league, and since my shoulder precludes me playing (alas that you’ll not see my off-seamer) my in-depth knowledge of Somerset County in the early 70s should suffice for credentials. man, that Botham & Richards pairing was amazing.
I stop slacking off at work for a few days and this is what I miss? Damn my industriousness! I fully apologize to that Rondine Ghiselline lady for implying that she was crazy a while back. She has been thoroughly outclassed by Janelle C. Jeffries.
Still smarting from that picinic basket incident.
So I wake up and there’s no Snowpacalypse — what happened?
Remember that Google also scores more highly for inbound links. Thus, for the sake of search engine accuracy, it is important that whenever using the term “Mary Volm” elsewhere that one should link back to this page. That should help broaden people’s understanding of the events which have unfolded.

“Pass it on.”
Pass what on? Isn’t someone posting your last name on a different web site than where you originally posted it what set off your spam tantrum in the firstplace?
“I never consented to my last name being posted against my will”
Can a person truly consent to their last name being posted against their will? That’s deep.
I suggest going back to Marylhurst for some remedial courses. I suspect you didn’t get everything you were expecting out of the Catholic School experience.

As far as I’m concerned, all comments that have invaded my privacy with commenter’s posting my full name and the six web links has provided an open opportunity to spam, steal my identity and harm me. I am a past victim of rape, menacing and identity theft. If The Portland Mercury deletes my protest as spam, then they’ll need to delete the comments that have invaded my privacy as that is spam as well. I’m not acquainted with Mary Volm (I am just a public citizen who will vote for her), I am not a politician and I am not a journalist. I want my privacy back from this blog; I didn’t deserve to have my privacy virtually raped.

@tabarnhart: I was really tired last night so I went to bed at 9pm. I woke up at 4am, did some really boring stuff, (read zzzzzzz’s latest comments,) in an effort to fall back asleep, (and I did.)
Re: cricket. Sorry about the shoulder. As for covering it, I don’t have anything (lets face it: at all) to do with those sort of decisions. Talk to Steve. His contact info is all over this thread.
I wonder if Janelle’s Facebook friends are aware of what she’s up to over here. I would be curious to learn if anyone’s posted stuff to her wall or sent messages to her friends, informing them of this strange behavior.
“Imagine if The Portland Mercury wasn’t Yellow Journalism.

I imagine that the Portland Mercury didn’t post any sensational blog story about a woman who is only a voter. I also imagine that repeatedly mentioning that lurid details lurk within this thread is just going to make people more curious about it.
As Boo Boo wiped away the remaining globs of Crisco, he reflected on the events which transpired the previous evening. Was it virtual rape (the webcam was still clean), was it all in his mind, or was it something someone else posted? Yogi was nowhere to be found, but the picinic basket splinters could still be felt in the most tender of tissues. Boo Boo picked up his T-shirt off the floor, which had been unceremoniously and rapidly discarded in the early stages of the frantic events the night before. “Steamworks: Add a sling for $7”, said the shirt. “Maybe I should’ve worn something different to the club”, thought Boo Boo.

There are no words for this. Simply amazing. Janelle C Jeffries you have done yourself proud. Greatest troll in Blogtown history.

With names like “Bedtime Bear” and “Love-a-Lot Bear” you’d think it would be ripe for Porn. Alas, it hasn’t happened, or at least in the 30 seconds I searched for it. You can buy an adult “Bedtime Bear costume though ( http://www.yandy.com/Shopping-products-pro… NSFW,) though.
But what is next for poor Boo Boo?
And, Matthew D, considering that the only know female in the group was Grannie or Grammie or Grams or whatever her name was, chances are Care a Lot was pretty hoppin’ in its day.

@Bob R: I don’t know, but I’m hoping you’ll write the next chapter in his book, I’m enjoying reading it.
@blownspeakers: Or it could have been a Cougar Gangbang.
@all: Guess what? This page is ranked number one on Google for “Mary Volm batshit insane”
And I find it just amazing that a fair amount of you apparently went to a “staff party” last evening.
“@all: Guess what? This page is ranked number one on Google for “Mary Volm batshit insane”
With supporters like Janelle….
Mary Volm just posted this on Janelle’s wall (it appears we are friends, J & i):
“The Mercury incites hate, distrust and judgment – sorry that happened to you – it’s disheartening and certainly not the community I know as Portland.”
not sure how that bodes for you getting a fair interview, Matt
Boo Boo decided to go have a look around. He put his codpiece thong back on, and opened the door. The ambiance was as expected, hot and humid, with the distant thumping of trance music, but not a soul to be seen. The hallway was littered with towels. “Towels!”, thought Boo Boo, “If I’m going to stay here another round, I’m going to have to get more towels. And where is Yogi?”.
Boo Boo made his way through the door-lined corridor, past the locker room, and to the front desk. It was unstaffed, but there was a stack of fresh towels still laid out from the night before. Boo Boo picked up a towel, and brought it to his snout to take a whiff. “Poppers! Even the clean towels in this place reek of poppers!” For Boo Boo, poppers were headache-inducing, he couldn’t stand him, but somewhere deep in his subconscious it was understood what the scent represented: The promise of more to come.
Janelle is drumming up support for how badly abused she has been on this thread over on her FB wall:
” Be careful if you ever blog anywhere. There are malicious people out there. If you ever blog use a nickname/alias. I’ve seen a new level of evil I have never experienced before.”
which spurred Mary’s comment about the Merc.
Please substitute “pleasing” for “amazing” in my last comment.
You know what this thread reminds me of? Our second longest thread this year!
Remember when the tea baggers gathered outside The O’s offices, demanding greater amounts of representation from the main-stream media they so loudly hate and distrust? Well, there was the picture there, and there was a full-face shot of a woman who may or may not have been part of the protest.
…And after some not-especially-nice discussion of her facial features (which I’m gonna take responsibility for), she quickly decided that she didn’t want her face a) in the papers and/or b) linked to the teabaggers.
This led to a very similar discussion ala the one we’re sort of having here: i.e. being in public means a de facto agreement to not use any Right To Privacy arguments if things don’t go the way you wanted them to.
For instance, the lady in the photo could very easily have hopped on the blog here and said, “Actually I was just walking down the street. I’m honestly not a teabagger, and I really hope that the photo doesn’t give that impression.” Or: “Hey fuck you Rich Bachelor for calling me ‘pig faced’ on the internet. Here’s hoping you get cancerfireaids, y’shitmonger.”
But she didn’t. She acted like it’s everybody else’s job to do exactly what she wants when things get a little too…Honest? Not sure what the right word there is. Plenty of us noted the paradoxical nature of a protest staged by people who wanted more media exposure who then got it, and found themselves looking like idiots, which they then blamed on the biased nature of the media.
So that brings us to Janelle if-that-really-is-your-real-name. I went back over my initial comments to her and found that I started this by saying that picture of Mary Volm did her no favors (it came down pretty quick, I noticed), but didn’t opine any further about the qualifications or views of Mary Volm because I had no idea who Mary Volm was. Still don’t. I’ve kind of gone out of my way to Not Check, these last FOUR FUCKING DAYS.
Oddly, the thing that seems to have set Janelle off was the suggestion that her favorite candidate seemed to be surrounded by a lot of the usual suspects, as far as borderline cranks go. I concur. A verrry lazy check of those who call her a friend reads like a list of whiny Oregon conservatives. So while it would be premature to say that Mary Volm is herself a conservative, her friends openly and proudly describe themselves in such a manner, and there’s nothing wrong with that, of course.
And then the rest was a textbook, stations-of-the-cross trip down psychotic breakdown lane, leading to that final stage where infinite regress and endless repetition becomes the final refuge of whatsername there. She shoulda just walked away.
Now: we near 500 comments, largely fueled by her seeming attempts to drive up the count singlehanded. Maybe she is someone’s meta-joke. But I don’t think so.
have we gotten to consensus yet on the proposal for virtual gay bear rape? will the gay bears volunteer, and why exclude bi- and hetero bears? if copious amounts of warm & fragrant honey are involved, you have my Aye!

Tell The Portland Mercury that a male blogger with the user profile ID of “Graham” posted the full name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six Internet links (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm, one that was an obituary) without the permission of the woman blogger with a user profiler once named “Janelle” from December 8-10, 2009, name now switched to “zzzzzzz” as of December 10, 2009 due to her unwanted privacy invasion of privacy on this blog:” BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” with the web link of http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/gyroba… (Davis, M., News Editor, The Portland Mercury, 2009, “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009). Tell The Portland Mercury this is off topic and invades that woman’s privacy who in the past has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity left and now has a real personal safety concern with six Internet links (one that is an obituary of her Grand Aunt) and her full name posted in this blog which is supposed to be a topic on Mary Volm. Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that women’s privacy.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic, threatening, and spam comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). She has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Thank you for your support.

Tell The Portland Mercury that a male blogger with the user profile ID of “Graham” posted the full name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six Internet links (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm, one that was an obituary) without the permission of the woman blogger with a user profiler once named “Janelle” from December 8-10, 2009, name now switched to “zzzzzzz” as of December 10, 2009 due to her unwanted privacy invasion of privacy on this blog:” BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” with the web link of http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/gyroba… (Davis, M., News Editor, The Portland Mercury, 2009, “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009). Tell The Portland Mercury this is off topic and invades that woman’s privacy who in the past has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity left and now has a real personal safety concern with six Internet links (one that is an obituary of her Grand Aunt) and her full name posted in this blog which is supposed to be a topic on Mary Volm. Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that women’s privacy.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic, threatening, and spam comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). She has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Thank you for your support.
[The Portland Mercury, you have the power to make things right and delete the posts that invaded my privacy. I’ve contacted you December 10-12, 2009 and you have still failed to delete the posts that invaded my privacy. You have control of this blog; you should take responsibility for your Blog site. You should be ashamed. My last name and six Internet links were posted against my will by the blogger Graham, and one of the links was an obituary of my Grand Aunt. Where are your journalistic ethics? Where is your accountability for your blog that you oversee?]
This is my protest for the virtual raping of my privacy my with my last name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six web links posted by Graham (he surfed it off the Internet and posted it on this blog) without my consent which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm). I will not stop my protest until The Portland Mercury deletes all the comments that invaded my privacy. I never consented to my last name being posted against my will on this blog site. As far as I’m concerned, all comments that have invaded my privacy with commenter’s posting my full name and the six web links has provided an open opportunity to spam, steal my identity and harm me. I am a past victim of rape, menacing and identity theft. If The Portland Mercury deletes my protest as spam, then they’ll need to delete the comments that have invaded my privacy as that is spam as well. I’m not acquainted with Mary Volm (I am just a public citizen who will vote for her), I am not a politician and I am not a journalist. I want my privacy back from this blog; I didn’t deserve to have my privacy virtually raped.

Yeah, see, That. That’s what I was talking about.
@tabarnhart:
Boo Boo and Yogi have been exploring the philosophical dimensions of the definition of virtual bear rape in the form of a dramatic parable. Have you not been following?
@Rich Bachelor: I see exactly what you’re talking about. I expect a Lifetime movie-of-the-week on the topic soon.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One… Comment Five Hundred! Yaaaaay!
As much fun as that was, I’m thinking the Mercury comment software could use an anti-flood feature.
Bob: it will star Tori Spelling (although it will also feature Jill Eikenberry, Ann Jillian and Mare Winningham in supporting roles), and the title will be something along the lines of “Mother, May I Sleep With Libel?”

@Bob: The Stranger just posts the top couple lines of each comment. If you want to read more, you have to click expand. That is probably something the Mercury may want to invest in…
Also Bob: the anti-flood thing raises a good point. Last time we got anywhere near this far (the teabagging pigface lady thing), the Mercury decided that it merited a story of its own. Here? Nothing! What are you trying to hide, The Mercury? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO HIIIIDE?
@Rich: I mentioned on the 10th that I thought her calls to the Mercury would probably generate a posting page 1 of blogtown, (instead of, what are we now, page 3?) but I was wrong about that.

@rich bachelor & Matthew D: Purely hypothetically, maybe the Mercury staff are hoping that if they just wash their hands of the whole thing that it might just defuse itself. But they’re all out of the office and don’t care till Monday. I wonder if this will break any *00 barriers before then. With the rate that Janelle Jeffries is flooding the blog with her spam, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this break the four digit barrier.
The whiff of poppers brought the memories streaming back to Boo Boo. He had secured the room with the sling in the hopes that Yogi would finally break the four digit barrier, using the entire hand and pushing him beyond his previously-tested limits.
In his peripheral vision he caught the movement of a shadow, snapping his attention back to the present. A man came around the corner, and then another, and another. All three men were wearing a familiar bear costume: Carhartts, work shirts, and vests. But these vests weren’t the typical leather bar vests, they were bright orange, Hi-Vis.
“If this is Village People night, why didn’t I see the posters, and why isn’t there a police bear?”, a puzzled Boo Boo asked himself.
Then, it hit him. These were _real_ construction workers, muscled from hard, straining work, hot under their blue collars, not some gym-toned artificial musclebears. And they were headed right for him.
Huh, the blogtown comment page rolls over at 500. Who knew?
@Graham: They might be out of the office, but as of Friday afternoon, I don’t see why anyone in their right mind, (as opposed to the people on this thread who are not in their right mind,) would think that this would go away.
As such I’m worried about her, specifically that she might be a threat to her own safety. If she believes that this thread is a threat to her own safety and since we all know that her posting is continuing it, that means she believes that she is a threat to her own safety. And that is good enough to get someone committed. I know in California all it takes is the advice of any police officer or health care worker to put someone in a mental hospital for 72 hours, but I don’t know the laws in Oregon.
@Bob: That is really good stuff.
@A cat: I wish the regular stories rolled over at 50 or something, the 5 is kind of short.

Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that women’s privacy.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic, threatening, and spam comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). She has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Thank you for your support.
[The Portland Mercury, you have the power to make things right and delete the posts that invaded my privacy. I’ve contacted you December 10-12, 2009 and you have still failed to delete the posts that invaded my privacy. You have control of this blog; you should take responsibility for your Blog site. You should be ashamed. My last name and six Internet links were posted against my will by the blogger Graham, and one of the links was an obituary of my Grand Aunt. Where are your journalistic ethics? Where is your accountability for your blog that you oversee?]
This is my protest for the virtual raping of my privacy my with my last name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six web links posted by Graham (he surfed it off the Internet and posted it on this blog) without my consent which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm). I will not stop my protest until The Portland Mercury deletes all the comments that invaded my privacy. I never consented to my last name being posted against my will on this blog site. As far as I’m concerned, all comments that have invaded my privacy with commenter’s posting my full name and the six web links has provided an open opportunity to spam, steal my identity and harm me. I am a past victim of rape, menacing and identity theft. If The Portland Mercury deletes my protest as spam, then they’ll need to delete the comments that have invaded my privacy as that is spam as well. I’m not acquainted with Mary Volm (I am just a public citizen who will vote for her), I am not a politician and I am not a journalist. I want my privacy back from this blog; I didn’t deserve to have my privacy virtually raped.

The funny thing at the moment is that the spam being used by Janelle Jeffries to protest the horrible horrible things that have been done to her contains what is supposedly a link to this article. Unfortunately for Janelle Jeffries, the link that she’s using is a broken link and goes nowhere. That’s just funny.
If we hit 1000 I’ll finally show up at a /b/town meet up and buy a drink for everyone involved in this legendary thread.
The three men rushed up to Boo Boo and grabbed him by his diminutive, yet furry, bear arm. He felt naked among them, even though he was fully covered in his codpiece thong and Steamworks T-Shirt.
His heart raced! Was this the moment he had long dreamed of? What would come next? He didn’t have to wait for long.
“You must evacuate, now!” came the order from the forebear. “An enema? Now?”, thought Boo Boo, first rejecting the notion as silly, but upon further reflection the thrill of this idea went piping through him. He began to form a hierarchy of possibilities in his mind. Would he be held down? Which of the three bears would do the deed? Would the nozzle be too big, too small, or juuust right? Whatever the potential outcome, he feared he was in hot water.
@Janelle Jeffries: If you have the perseverance, you can search the Mercury’s site. On exactly one page, my full name has been printed on this website. If you have the time, you can search this site from top to bottom and find that one occurrence. Then you can feel free to “rape my privacy” as you put it.
As an addendum to my previous comment, I would appreciate if any of the numerous posters on here who know my full name would not help Janelle Jeffries with her search. I’m hoping this will be a learning experience for her on how easy/difficult it can be to make the Google cough up the info you want.

Or hell; let’s go meta meta with this thing: since she is assuming she is under attack, she may very well respond with violence. My Facebook page is actually quite easy to find, and it features my daughter’s name on it. Like a lot of people twenty years younger than me, she (my kid) might also be under the impression that your email account, your blog, your social-networking-site-page is your legal property, which it isn’t.
Again, all this shit is happening on the legal equivalent of a street corner with a surveillance camera that is continuously uploading to the entire world. I wonder. I mean, if a crazy piece of shit thought that she was genuinely being attacked, how far would she go? Would this wrap all the way around from someone who was suffering delusions of being attacked to same said person actually attacking?
If so, at least there’s a long, clear public record of all this. “You’re just strengthening my case” indeed.

The forebear repeated, shouting “I said, get the hell out of here!” The true context of this one-sided conversation finally hit Boo Boo. “Shit! No enema”, he thought.
“What’s going on?”, Boo Boo finally cried. “You’re being gentrified”, barked the gruff forebear, his tool belt rattling over a noticeable package in his Carhartts, “you have to go, now.”
Just then, Yogi came around the corner, buffeted by two lawyers. Boo Boo could immediately tell the lawyers by their scent. He had run into these types in bathhouses before: The musk of Italian linen and coke.
“Please, Yogi, what the hell is happening? I feel dizzy!”
“I’ve just sold this place to the McMenamin boys. It’s going to be turned into the resort. I’ve hired these workmen to do the demo work on the interior. They’re going to rip you a new one. A new lobby.”, explained Yogi, somewhat irritated at Boo Boo’s agitation.
Boo Boo’s heart sank. Not only would his ultimate fantasies not be realized, the elimination of his favorite hole in the wall meant he may never have the venue to even try.
“This is Virtual Rape! How could you?”, screamed Boo Boo, and he began to sob.
“It’s all quite legal”, pleaded Yogi, “they got a good deal out of me”. One of the lawyers wiped his lips on his sleeve, the other blushed slightly and turned his head.
“I don’t care if it’s legal or not!” yelled Boo Boo, and he suddenly grabbed the long, leathered handle of a hammer from the forebear. He ran up and down the halls, pounding holes in the sheetrock, shouting “Take that! Take it! Take it harder!”, stirring up gypsum dust and choking out the conversation of the others.
“Now, Boo Boo! Don’t be silly”, said Yogi, “This place isn’t worth it. You can’t possibly cause any damage that hasn’t already been done. This is pointless.”
“I don’t care, you’ve virtually raped me, and you will virtually rape me no more. I don’t care if I have to destroy the place. And I will! I’ll keep pounding dents until the whole building comes crashing down on us! Just you watch, you virtual rapist! That’s what you are.”
Yogi sighed. He turned, and ordered the work crew to go inspect all the rooms, especially the sling rooms, to see if anyone else needed evacuating.
As the other bears went about their business, the distant sound of thumping, punctuated with the occasional sigh, could be heard migrating from floor to floor.
How did we make it this long without realizing the necessity of Hanna-Barbara fanfic?
Awesome! A bunch of internet bullies at their finest!
@ZZZZZZ Judging from the last pics posted of this groups get together I think you are safe. Lonely nerds cannoddling on a skanky brown couch don’t SEEM like they pose much of a threat.
Oh and “BlackedOut” only poses a threat if he leaves his mothers basement, no worries, never going to happen.
Oh, jeez, how could I have forgotten about THIS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oecTa3hF9KY
Christ. Learn to spell ‘canoodling’. And really; ‘internet bullies’? Are you taking a heroic stand against the completely ineffectual? If so, what does that say about you? But really, great joke about the parents’ basement there. Never heard that one.
Just to get me covered by the Media Shield Law, (I have been looking up things that I might be guilty of recently*,) I thought I’d comment on something Mary Volm said: “The Mercury incites hate, distrust and judgment – sorry that happened to you – it’s disheartening and certainly not the community I know as Portland.”:
Mary Volm supported the recall, an act that by it’s very nature is based on hate, distrust, and judgment. That makes her a hypocrite. All other things being equal, I tend to avoid voting for hypocrites.
*Every so often I go though the ORS and look to see if I’m guilty of anything. Unfortunately, I almost always find something, (some minor technical offenses and the like,) and then I feel guilty. I’m fairly sure I’m some sort of masochist for this behavior, but that is a topic for another time. And this case is no exception: If I was dealing with a normal person, I wouldn’t be, but I’m no longer under the impression that I am, so I need to post this here before I continue:
Janelle Jeffries, I am currently under the impression that you need to check yourself into a mental hospital. I’d advise you that in the interest of you not being involuntarily committed, (which WILL show up on your criminal record,) you should check yourself in voluntarily. If you do not do so, it is reasonable for me to expect that I was mistaken in that judgment and that you are sane, and I can therefore assume you are capable of being an objective and reasonable person under the eyes of the law, (including but not limited to ORS chapters 163 and 166.)
(Alright I’m fine now. I’d also be fine if I was always under the impression that she was sane, but for a minute I was clearly not under such impressions.)
And just for the record, there is no ORS for “virtual raping of privacy”, but there is “violation of privacy” (ORS 163.700) It covers visual recordings of nudity made without consent. It doesn’t cover a link to the great aunt’s obituary or people’s full names.
“It covers visual recordings of nudity made without consent.”
Yes, I’ve given serious thought to that one. It’s a very one-sided law, in that it protects innocent nude persons from being surreptitiously videotaped, but it does not protect innocent videographers from having unwanted nude people enter the camera’s field of view.
Just for completeness sake, the poster “BlackedOut” is Garrett Dittfurth. He is an employee for PR firm Waggener Edstrom (http://www.waggeneredstrom.com) and is a lieutenant (*side-splitting laugh*) in the Timbers Army.
I just went back and looked at the second-longest (to my knowledge) thread I was referencing: a paltry 107 comments (accumulated between two blog posts). And I didn’t call that person ‘pigfaced’, but ‘weasel faced’. Also, she did indeed attend a public rally calling for greater coverage of a political movement that she was part of, then objected to having her face associated with it, which I’m sure made that jackass with the cigar in his mouth who coordinated the whole thing very proud.

There. So anyway, Janell-a-thon outdoes that one by many a mile. Then again, none of the teabaggers resorted to spam.

Janelle, you include my name in this list. I have never said any of the things that you are claiming (in print, no less) I have said about you. That is a lie. It is also slander and libel. Retract that statement.
Also, I did not consent for my name to be used by you in your post. That is a violation of my privacy. You have now raped my privacy and you have made libelous statements about me.
Any argument you make from here on out is irrelevent.
Lol @ Nerds !!! Thanks for your post. 🙂 It’s not so much these “nerds” here I have a concern for, it is a concern I have for the real insane who surf the Internet and find this blog.
@ Matthew D. Your ignorance using my full name without my permission and labeling me as mentally ill never ceases to amaze me. I proudly signed the first Mayor Adams recall petition. I haven’t seen other petitions floating around, nor have I sought any out (I’ve heard about a 2nd recall). Once again, I’m not a part of any campaign, and I’m a Libertarian (left-wing, I swear everyday just about). I never voted for Mayor Sam Adams, anyways. Mayor Adams shook my hand on two occasions not too long ago even. I’m not a part of Mary Volm or any other Democrat campaign or any campaign. Nor do I ever wish to be involved in anything political except for the basics of voting, signing petitions, rallying, protesting, etc. I’m just a regular citizen who had complete apparently delusional bloggers like Matthew D. who gets up at 4:00am in the morning to post completely uninformed blogs about myself.
Ooh. So now the game’s gettin’ upped. We actually had an example of someone who didn’t specifically want their name used getting their name used because someone was mad at them. Now what Janelle was thinking was happening to her is actually happening to someone else. Wonderful. I wonder how far this one’s gonna go.
And why do I get the feeling that the person posting as “Garrett Dittfurth” (among many other aliases) is really Jasun Wurster, the person behind the failed recall of Sam Adams and (*side splitting laugh*) is said to be dating Mary Volm.
Well I’ve already shared my full name, have hurled no direct insults, and I’ve shared my lawyer’s name, and nothing has happened.
JJ is a virtual paper tiger.

Tell The Portland Mercury that a male blogger with the user profile ID of “Graham” posted the full name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six Internet links (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm, one that was an obituary) without the permission of the woman blogger with a user profiler once named “Janelle” from December 8-10, 2009, name now switched to “zzzzzzz” as of December 10, 2009 due to her unwanted privacy invasion of privacy on this blog: ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” with the web link of http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/gyroba… (Davis, M., News Editor, The Portland Mercury, 2009, “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009). Tell The Portland Mercury this is off topic and invades that woman’s privacy who in the past has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity theft and now has a real personal safety concern with six Internet links (one that is an obituary of her Grand Aunt) and her full name posted in this blog which is supposed to be a topic on Mary Volm. Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that women’s privacy. Several bloggers also have continued to hurl insult after insult calling me “mentally ill” or other insults and for some reason they are completely oblivious to the fact of the real danger, especially cyber danger, they have put me in. I am not mentally ill, however I have concerns that those bloggers may be in they can’t see that broadcasting an obituary of my Grand Aunt doesn’t create a security threat to me, then they clearly need help in understanding the difference between right and wrong behavior.
The following bloggers with the profile ID’s have either labeled me as being mentally ill or have said other insults or have misused my personal infomation by providing my full name or Internet web links without my consent: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor [also is implying that I “may very well respond with violence” on December 12, 2009 @ 3:59pm, a false statement, obsurd and extremely defaming my character] “two squatting women,” “blownspeakers,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo” [There are over 537 comments and some user profilers may not remember what they posted and try to deny insults or using my full name without my permission or labeling me as mentally ill from December 8th, 2009 to December 12, 2009, but it is there.] Please tell The Portland Mercury that they are way out of line and The Portland Mercury needs to take responsibility of controlling their blog to delete all off topic comments.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic, threatening, and spam comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). She has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Thank you for your support.
[The Portland Mercury, you have the power to make things right and delete the posts that invaded my privacy. I’ve contacted you December 10-12, 2009 and you have still failed to delete the posts that invaded my privacy. You have control of this blog; you should take responsibility for your Blog site. You should be ashamed. My last name and six Internet links were posted against my will by the blogger Graham, and one of the links was an obituary of my Grand Aunt. Where are your journalistic ethics? Where is your accountability for your blog that you oversee?]
This is my protest for the virtual raping of my privacy my with my last name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six web links posted by Graham (he surfed it off the Internet and posted it on this blog) without my consent which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm). I will not stop my protest until The Portland Mercury deletes all the comments that invaded my privacy. I never consented to my last name being posted against my will on this blog site. As far as I’m concerned, all comments that have invaded my privacy with commenter’s posting my full name and the six web links has provided an open opportunity to spam, steal my identity and harm me. I am a past victim of rape, menacing and identity theft. If The Portland Mercury deletes my protest as spam, then they’ll need to delete the comments that have invaded my privacy as that is spam as well. I’m not acquainted with Mary Volm (I am just a public citizen who will vote for her), I am not a politician and I am not a journalist. I want my privacy back from this blog; I didn’t deserve to have my privacy virtually raped.
The Portland Mercury is doing nothing about my virtual raping of my privacy. The Portland Mercury, you should be ashamed. Delete all the comments that virtually raped my privacy.
[Imagine if The Portland Mercury wasn’t Yellow Journalism. Imagine if the Portland Mercury would respect a woman who is only a voter but made into a sensational blog story with people on here disrespecting her privacy by providing her last name and six Internet links in which one was an obituary of her Grand Aunt. Imagine, if the Portland Mercury wasn’t Yellow Journalism, they would know who Mary Volm’s campaign people are, I am not a Mary Volm campaign person, I want my privacy back that Graham stole on this blog.]
The Portland Mercury is Yellow Journalism. The Portland Mercury is doing nothing about my virtual raping of my privacy. I’ve contacted The Portland Mercury December 10, 2009, December 11, 2009 and December 12, 2009; they have the power to delete posts that invaded my privacy, and the editor, webmaster and publisher refuse to that. The Portland Mercury, you should be ashamed. Delete all the comments that virtually raped my privacy. Pass it on.
“Nor do I ever wish to be involved in anything political except for the basics of voting, signing petitions, rallying, protesting, etc.”
All that sounds pretty political to me.
Besides, what else is there that isn’t included under the “etc.”?
“Internet bullying” is a crime, (it is called “cyber bullying” and is ORS 339.351-339.364 ) It doesn’t apply in this case: Posting a person’s name or great aunt’s obituary* doesn’t create a REASONABLE** fear of physical harm to them or damage to their property. (Also, ORS 339 only applies to people (and actions towards them) in school and/or under the age of 18.)
*Assuming that the great aunt is indeed dead. Posting the obituary of someone that is still alive might be viewed as a death threat, although not a threat to zzzzzzz, so she wouldn’t be the victim of that crime.
**See my statement above about my questioning her ability to be reasonable, and subsequent dismissal of that belief.
This too: she came in here and -utterly without prompting- babbled a whole bunch of her personal information at us. The person who decided to tell us what BlackedOut’s real name is is specifically trying to intimidate someone into shutting up, which probably is a cyber crime too.
Or at least someone The Webmaster (and oh what a lot of mention you’ve been getting these last four days, eh?) might wish to look into.
@zzzzzzz: I didn’t label you mentally ill. I said that _I_ was briefly under the impression that you might be mentally ill, and that I could be mistaken about that. Your subsequent denial of that means that I was indeed mistaken. In other words: I have retracted that belief.
@Bob R. Well, first of all, it only covers videographers that knowingly do it. If the person accidentally slips into the frame, then that doesn’t count in the first place. It also only covers the naked people where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If the “innocent” videographers are recording bathrooms, dressing rooms, etc, then I think most of us would say that they aren’t exactly innocent.
I have an idea, how about the following user profilers: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “blownspeakers,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo” contact The Portland Mercury and ask them to delete any and all comments in which you either used my full name without my consent or labeled me as mentally ill or insulted me? This would be excellent restorative justice because when you contact them, you could just ask them, “Could you please remove my “off topic” comments?” Remember, The Portland Mercury has the following comments a person can report: off topic, threatening or spam. Let’s all hold The Portland Mercury accountable for their “Report Comment” function; so that they’ll be accountable in overseeing their blog here. You see, I myself have already asked The Portland Mercury to delete my profile and all my comments, but they haven’t done that. Perhaps, if more people call The Portland Mercury to retract their comments, the better chance “off topic” comments will be deleted. In this way, all of you can help out in “The Portland Mercury Protest for Restorative Justice.” Thank you for your support.

Janelle, if you’re serious about “The Portland Mercury Protest for Restorative Justice”, it would behoove you to start posting these messages on all of the new messages on Blogtown.
This thread is now a few pages back, and no one is really seeing it aside from those of us that are already here, and the various felons that are googling your name to learn more about how to effectively and savagely rape you.
http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/blogs/… is a link to the front page of Blogtown, which has the most read threads. Post in those in addition to these! Also, remember to come back and post your protest on Monday, when there are far more posts and readers.
@blownspeakers: Running for public office is the big one I can think of.
@Bob R: Even direct insults are fine, as long as they were not intended to provoke a violent response from the person. Nothing that has happened here would have provoked a violent response in a reasonable person, so it is fair to assume that that was no one’s intent. Furthermore, since she has now claimed (and who are we to argue?) that she is sane, we can now claim that she is a reasonable person, even if she seems to have acted unreasonably from time to time…
“I have an idea, how about the following user profilers: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “blownspeakers,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo” contact The Portland Mercury and ask them to delete any and all comments in which you either used my full name without my consent or labeled me as mentally ill or insulted me?”
I have done neither of those. Please remove my name from your list. Your list is raping my privacy.
@ blownspeakers, I double checked your comments. I’ll delete your name from the list, I’ve decided that I like the fact you only used my first name and your comments were more like questions than insults (still wasn’t totally nice, though).
For all the others, please, what I think there is a misunderstanding. All of you here that used my full name without my permission or posted six links from outside this website about me or insulted me, have run the risk of real mental ill people to cyber attack or harm me in other ways. I’m saying that because of the people who repeatedly provided my full name and Graham who posted that information has made my personal safety less secure, especially with the posting of my Grand Aunt.
In addition, The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic.
The outside danger for me from the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about myself is that it will be easier for me to be threatened, spammed by creating an easy access to my personal life in one click. Again, I’m saying The Portland Mercury should clearly delete all comments that are “Off topic.” The topic for this blog is Mary Volm, anything not about her should be deleted.
I’m still not sure why a lot of you are confused about The Portland Mercury “Report this comment” function that is clearly just for decoration purposes.
Although, to be fair, you are the one who made this thread about something other than Mary Volm, so if we were to go by your criterium…

@zzzzzzz: “The outside danger for me from the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about myself is that it will be easier for me to be threatened, spammed by creating an easy access to my personal life in one click.”
HOW? Does your full name or any of those links contain your e-mail address? In order to be spammed, the person doing the spamming has to have your e-mail address. That is a NECESSARY condition to be spammed, and nobody has posted that here. It is therefore IMPOSSIBLE to spam you with the information that has been posted on this blog. Impossible things are by definition not easier.
Which part of that do you disagree with/not understand?
And I’m still waiting for a response to my query, too: if your problem is that this whole thread that you’ve kept going on a mostly single-handed basis is that we stopped talking about Mary Volm early on…Well, ask yourself why you decided to make this about you, not Mary.
Please don’t respond with spam, asshole.
@ Matthew D. Spam can also come in the form of “snail mail.” Since my full name was posted, this is a reality that I could receive that or be able to figure out where I reside. In addition, before Graham pulled my full name up, I had told my age. Also, hackers can figure other things out, I’m sure. Quit trying to make it seem like my personal identity hasn’t been compromised in this blog, because it has and I need restorative justice; especially with the six Internet links posted by Graham with my family members.
@ rich bachelor (who continues to insult me): From my perspective, the blog became off topic December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm by Graham.
What I am asking The Portland Mercury to do, is to delete all “Off topic” comments. Everyone’s “Off topic” comment not about Mary Volm.
I have an idea and I would appreciate everyone’s assistance, how about the following user profilers: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo” contact The Portland Mercury and ask them to delete any and all comments in which you either used my full name without my consent or labeled me as mentally ill or insulted me? This would be excellent restorative justice because when you contact them, you could just ask them, “Could you please remove my “off topic” comments?” Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic comments (the three very options on their site to report comments).
The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic as well as any comments that aren’t about Mary Volm. Let’s all hold The Portland Mercury accountable for their “Report this comment” function; so they’ll delete all comments “off topic.”
You see, I myself have already asked The Portland Mercury to delete my profile and all my comments, but they haven’t done that. Perhaps, if more people call The Portland Mercury to retract their comments, the better chance “off topic” comments will be deleted. In this way, all of you can help out in “The Portland Mercury Protest for Restorative Justice.” Thank you for your support.
Please contact The Portland Mercury and support my “The Portland Mercury Protest for Restorative Justice.” Tell them, please delete the “off topic” comments on the ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” blog:

Your personal identity has no more been compromised than anyone else’s has. Indeed, you told us a whole lot about yourself that nobody asked to hear. Furthermore, you’re the one to stopped talking about Mary Volm and started talking about yourself.
And damn right I called you an asshole, because you are one. You still are going to answer for you egregious misuse of the word “rape”, every time I talk to you from now on; there are real victims who you are shitting on every time you do that.
So in short, you’ve shat upon actual victims of rape over a hundred times now.
And I’ll be back in the morning, when we’re at over 600 comments. Done yelling at the barking dog for the day.
@zzzzzzz: Spam can also come in the form of “snail mail.”
That isn’t called spam. Spam is internet communications. Unwanted snail mail is called junk mail.
“Since my full name was posted, this is a reality that I could receive that or be able to figure out where I reside”
In theory yes, but no more so than could have been done without Graham posting your full name. It definitely isn’t one click like you claimed. To give you an idea how hard that is, one of my ex-girlfriends asked me to try to figure out what her address was, (this was while I was dating her, so I already knew exactly what her address was,) because she wanted to know if her ex-husband, (who she had a restraining order against,) would be able to do so. I knew her full name and quite a bit more about her than I know about you. After spending multiple days, and about $100 to various companies that purported to be able to provide that information, I couldn’t. If she had had a listed phone number, (she didn’t, as you yourself have also claimed to not have,) or owned a house, it would have been easy, but unless you have posted your address on a public website, (and those six links doesn’t contain it,) it is very difficult at best. In any case, it would be significantly harder than figuring out your full name in the first place, so the fact that Graham did that doesn’t make the search for your address much easier.
“In addition, before Graham pulled my full name up, I had told my age.”
I don’t see how that is Graham’s problem, but that doesn’t actually make things any easier for anybody.
“Also, hackers can figure other things out, I’m sure.”
Yes, like your full name. They don’t need Graham’s help to do that. And typing your name into Google, (how Graham got those 6 links,) is hardly considered hacking. But in any case, you have now made several unlikely statements in a row and assumed that the worst would happen in all of them. That is actually a mental illness, it is a type of anxiety disorder.
“Quit trying to make it seem like my personal identity hasn’t been compromised in this blog”
I’m stating definitively that it hasn’t been.
“I need restorative justice”
Why? Because even by your own admission the worst thing that could happened is you might get some unwanted snail mail. Comcast has done that to me 3 times this week, and it took significantly less time for me to deal with it than you spent typing your response.
Keep in mind that even if people COULD get your address, what is their motive to actually do so? There are millions of people in this city, why do you think you are special? The only reason I can see is that YOU are making a big deal out of it. For instance, I can figure out Bob R’s address in 26 seconds, (I just timed it,) as could almost anyone here. But people don’t bother, they just don’t care.

This is my protest for my privacy being compromised with my last name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six web links posted by the user profiler Graham (he surfed it off the Internet and posted it on this blog) without my consent which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm) on this blog here. I will not stop my protest until The Portland Mercury deletes all the comments that invaded my privacy. I never consented to my last name being posted against my will on this blog site.
Tell The Portland Mercury that a male blogger with the user profile ID of “Graham” posted the full name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six Internet links (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm, one that was an obituary) without the permission of the woman blogger with a user profiler once named “Janelle” from December 8-10, 2009, name now switched to “zzzzzzz” as of December 10, 2009 due to her unwanted privacy invasion of privacy on this blog: ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council?

Tell The Portland Mercury this is off topic and invades that woman’s privacy who in the past has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity theft and now has a real personal safety concern with six Internet links (one that is an obituary of her Grand Aunt) and her full name posted in this blog which is supposed to be a topic on Mary Volm. Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that woman’s privacy. Several bloggers also have continued to hurl insult after insult calling me “mentally ill” or other insults and for some reason they are completely oblivious to the fact of the real danger, especially cyber danger from strangers, they have put me in. I am not mentally ill; I have real concerns about my personal information as well as safety.
The outside danger is that the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about me will make it easier for me to be threatened, spammed by internet bullies, cyber stalkers and those who are looking to steal someone’s identity. This blog has created an easy access to my personal life of my full name and six web links, without my consent so an outsider entering this blog could maliciously use that information.
The following bloggers with the profile ID’s have either labeled me as being mentally ill or have said other insults or have misused my personal information by providing my full name or Internet web links without my consent: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo.” Please tell The Portland Mercury that they are way out of line and The Portland Mercury needs to take responsibility of controlling their blog to delete all off topic comments.

Thank you for your support.
@zzzzzzz: [This is my last plead and posting.]
Thank god.
Janelle C. Jeffries is done posting in this Internet 6 postage thread ‽‽‽
What, so now we have to virtually rape each other?
Boom shaka laka! Most epic ever.
@Bob: Or you could post some more bear porn…
Speaking of which: I went to the dancin bare a few weeks ago. They had some good dancers, but very few customers on a Friday night. And most of the customers seemed more interested in talking among themselves than watching the show, (which made one of the strippers quite upset when we did that at the rack: She was trying to show off to a customer but he seemed more interesting in discussing his drink with us: I forget what it was, but it was some sort of radioactive blue color.)
I think the recession is hitting the strip clubs hard. Why blow $20 on strippers when you can watch porn at home for nothing? (Not to mention the drinks are cheaper.)
It is 4am. Do you know where your candidate is?
“…a male blogger with the user profile ID of ‘Graham’…”
How do you know ‘Graham’ is male? It could just be a cleverly concocted and cultivated caricature.
@Matthew –
Yes, the adult industry used to be considered “recession-proof”, but in the age of widespread Internet adoption and various adult-themed alternatives to YouTube and the assorted profile sites, there are a wider variety of entertainment sources than the traditional video store, club, etc. People are much more willing in this recession to “give up” live entertainment and professionally-produced content. In the gay world, the Internet has also supplanted much of what used to occur as socializing/”cruising” in gay bars. Portland, for example, has lost two long-established bars in the past year which catered (among other scenes) to what was considered the leather crowd.
I’m back, what did I mi– oh my god.
Was there more bear rape? Did I miss the gay bear rape? I was at a gay bear party discussing gay bear rape last night, by the way.
Also, we clearly have not used the word “rape” enough here. Rape rape rape.
You missed it, Alexjon — I wrote a whole story for you. Scroll back.
I’m loving the patent irony involved in accusing someone of harassment when there isn’t any, and then turning around and telling people to harass a business based on unsubstantiated claims and faked crimes (INTERNET RAPE -IS- RAPEEEEE!!!!!).
Awww, Bob, you wrote a love story to the former Club Portland.
Some guy from out of town picked me up at the Eagle and took me to Club Portland for my birthday in ’06. It was interesting that when I went to go get more condoms from a staff member, he goes, “oh, nobody ever tells us when their room runs out of condoms. Actually, I can’t remember the last time anyone actually used those. They weren’t expired, were they? You know you can just take them from other rooms, right? I mean, people SHOULD use them, but you know…”
It was a night of wine, roses and bear rape.
My sister pointed out the obvious:
I) If zzzzzzz wants to claim that she isn’t a racist because her half sisters are half African-American, then I should be allowed to claim I’m not sexist because I have a mother who is female. (In fact, since her half sisters are only half African American, but my full mother is completely female, I should be able to claim that I’m FOUR times as not sexist as she is not racist!)
II) If I’m Matt Davis, and am posting under a different name to hide who I really am, I sure picked a really lousy name.
IS IT NAO TIEM TO SAVAGELY RAEP MATTHEW D’S SISTER‽‽‽
*sigh*
So much for hitting 600 by the end of the weekend.

God… not this shit again. Janelle Jeffries, you promised that you were done with your spam. Please stop the madness. Call a loved one and ask them to take you someplace that can provide you with a mental health evaluation.
If I’m not mistaken, the blog comments don’t paginate after hitting 500, so the only way to see them all is by switching to “newest first”. If we ever pass the 1000 mark, we’re going to have some unviewable messages.
So this thread has been mostly dead for more than 24 hours (compared to the heavy volume it had been receiving), and then some unidentified person posts one snarky comment using she-who-wishes-she-shall-not-be-mentioned-after-the-fact’s name, and boom, she’s back at it again with her (false | repetitive | badly formatted) comment spam again, despite promises to the contrary. So now she’s a promise-breaker too.
Time to invite Yogi and Boo Boo out of their 2-day retirement?
Janelle, please look again. I’ve commented three times here, each time pointing out that you’re offensive to women and offensive to rape victims. And you plainly are. I stand by it. But I have not said that you are mentally ill or used your real name. I can’t believe that you’ve so damaged my reputation here by making these false accusations. Help, I’ve been libeled! Oh, help!
(My point is that the best way to let this thread die is to say nothing, but Janelle just couldn’t resist the thought that somebody, somewhere, used her name. It’s a car wreck of her own making, and she can’t resist driving by it again and again, slowing down to stare.)
FIRST!
Last? 🙂
I’m drawing the line right here. I won’t say another word in this thread about Janelle C. Jeffries if she doesn’t post another copy-paste diatribe.
Folks, please call in, email, do whatever you can because we’ve made a commitment to reach 600 posts before midnight tonight! If you can’t call in, come on down! We accept donations in the form of food, or blankets! Please, please folks; this shit isn’t free, and we can’t do it without you. God bless!
Yes, I will continually update the harassment thread to indicate new perpetrators of this Internet Bullying/Cyber Stalking/Libel/Slander/Defamation abuse. I have been raped two times in my life, menaced and a victim of identity theft. I find it sickening that none of you see the harm you have done to me. Yes, this is a virtual rape of my privacy and I will never say that it isn’t. In addition, I’m thinking of becoming an unregistered voter as long as middle-class people like yourselves continue to bully lower-class people as myself. In fact, I’m even thinking of moving to another country to renounce my US citizenship as a US Oregon native.
So much for that peace offering.
“I’m even thinking of moving to another country to renounce my US citizenship as a US Oregon native.”

Folks! Folks…(takes long breath, takes long drink, straightens gig lines on tuxedo) Folks, My Kids have had it rough. They…Each and every day they have to listen to people talk about them. They have often had people talk about them in public. I- (stops, appears to choke back tears)…I dunno.
So please: if you care at all about My Kids, please please please call in and pledge. You can do it over the World Wide Web, too! It’s that easy, with the technology! But truly, we have to hit 600 by midnight, or My Kids will all become Unregistered Voters, and you know what that means, right?
@Janelle Jeffries: The reason that no one can see the harm that’s been done to you is because no harm has been done to you. If you are super convinced that you have been harmed, please outline the concrete tangible harm that has happened to you. You’re own psychotic breakdown doesn’t count. That one is not our fault.

In recognition of the profligate copying/pasting going on around here, and for the sake of posteriority, and in honor of the impending 600th post, I’ve gathered together the complete story (thus far) of Yogi and Boo Boo:
—
Owww, Yogi! I didn’t know you could do _that_ with a picinic basket!
—
As Boo Boo wiped away the remaining globs of Crisco, he reflected on the events which transpired the previous evening. Was it virtual rape (the webcam was still clean), was it all in his mind, or was it something someone else posted? Yogi was nowhere to be found, but the picinic basket splinters could still be felt in the most tender of tissues. Boo Boo picked up his T-shirt off the floor, which had been unceremoniously and rapidly discarded in the early stages of the frantic events the night before. “Steamworks: Add a sling for $7”, said the shirt. “Maybe I should’ve worn something different to the club”, thought Boo Boo.
—
Boo Boo decided to go have a look around. He put his codpiece thong back on, and opened the door. The ambiance was as expected, hot and humid, with the distant thumping of trance music, but not a soul to be seen. The hallway was littered with towels. “Towels!”, thought Boo Boo, “If I’m going to stay here another round, I’m going to have to get more towels. And where is Yogi?”.
Boo Boo made his way through the door-lined corridor, past the locker room, and to the front desk. It was unstaffed, but there was a stack of fresh towels still laid out from the night before. Boo Boo picked up a towel, and brought it to his snout to take a whiff. “Poppers! Even the clean towels in this place reek of poppers!” For Boo Boo, poppers were headache-inducing, he couldn’t stand him, but somewhere deep in his subconscious it was understood what the scent represented: The promise of more to come.
—
The whiff of poppers brought the memories streaming back to Boo Boo. He had secured the room with the sling in the hopes that Yogi would finally break the four digit barrier, using the entire hand and pushing him beyond his previously-tested limits.
In his peripheral vision he caught the movement of a shadow, snapping his attention back to the present. A man came around the corner, and then another, and another. All three men were wearing a familiar bear costume: Carhartts, work shirts, and vests. But these vests weren’t the typical leather bar vests, they were bright orange, Hi-Vis.
“If this is Village People night, why didn’t I see the posters, and why isn’t there a police bear?”, a puzzled Boo Boo asked himself.
Then, it hit him. These were _real_ construction workers, muscled from hard, straining work, hot under their blue collars, not some gym-toned artificial musclebears. And they were headed right for him.
—
The three men rushed up to Boo Boo and grabbed him by his diminutive, yet furry, bear arm. He felt naked among them, even though he was fully covered in his codpiece thong and Steamworks T-Shirt.
His heart raced! Was this the moment he had long dreamed of? What would come next? He didn’t have to wait for long.
“You must evacuate, now!” came the order from the forebear. “An enema? Now?”, thought Boo Boo, first rejecting the notion as silly, but upon further reflection the thrill of this idea went piping through him. He began to form a hierarchy of possibilities in his mind. Would he be held down? Which of the three bears would do the deed? Would the nozzle be too big, too small, or juuust right? Whatever the potential outcome, he feared he was in hot water.
—
The forebear repeated, shouting “I said, get the hell out of here!” The true context of this one-sided conversation finally hit Boo Boo. “Shit! No enema”, he thought.
“What’s going on?”, Boo Boo finally cried. “You’re being gentrified”, barked the gruff forebear, his tool belt rattling over a noticeable package in his Carhartts, “you have to go, now.”
Just then, Yogi came around the corner, buffeted by two lawyers. Boo Boo could immediately tell the lawyers by their scent. He had run into these types in bathhouses before: The musk of Italian linen and coke.
“Please, Yogi, what the hell is happening? I feel dizzy!”
“I’ve just sold this place to the McMenamin boys. It’s going to be turned into the resort. I’ve hired these workmen to do the demo work on the interior. They’re going to rip you a new one. A new lobby.”, explained Yogi, somewhat irritated at Boo Boo’s agitation.
Boo Boo’s heart sank. Not only would his ultimate fantasies not be realized, the elimination of his favorite hole in the wall meant he may never have the venue to even try.
“This is Virtual Rape! How could you?”, screamed Boo Boo, and he began to sob.
“It’s all quite legal”, pleaded Yogi, “they got a good deal out of me”. One of the lawyers wiped his lips on his sleeve, the other blushed slightly and turned his head.
“I don’t care if it’s legal or not!” yelled Boo Boo, and he suddenly grabbed the long, leathered handle of a hammer from the forebear. He ran up and down the halls, pounding holes in the sheetrock, shouting “Take that! Take it! Take it harder!”, stirring up gypsum dust and choking out the conversation of the others.
“Now, Boo Boo! Don’t be silly”, said Yogi, “This place isn’t worth it. You can’t possibly cause any damage that hasn’t already been done. This is pointless.”
“I don’t care, you’ve virtually raped me, and you will virtually rape me no more. I don’t care if I have to destroy the place. And I will! I’ll keep pounding dents until the whole building comes crashing down on us! Just you watch, you virtual rapist! That’s what you are.”
Yogi sighed. He turned, and ordered the work crew to go inspect all the rooms, especially the sling rooms, to see if anyone else needed evacuating.
As the other bears went about their business, the distant sound of thumping, punctuated with the occasional sigh, could be heard migrating from floor to floor.

@Janelle C. Jeffries for Ms. Batshit Nutjob 2009: “What a waste of an education [COMMENT EDITED: UNNECESSARILY SEXIST LANGUAGE.]”
The fact that it was edited says something here: The Mercury does care about sexist language. The fact that none of the other comments here were edited suggests that they are not actually [very] sexist.
So I have this, well, acquaintance, that used to go around and tell everyone that disagreed with her that they were homophobes. Didn’t matter if she claimed the world was flat and they said it was round, if they disagreed with her she automatically labeled them homophobes. Almost everyone, (that wasn’t her,) including other gay people, said that she was setting the gay rights movement back by doing that, that it cheapened the word homophobes and made if difficult to label real homophobia as what it was. (She is also responsible for several people having to get mental health treatment, and once those people stopped hanging around her, they stopped needing treatment. She was a real treat to be around.)
I think that lesson applies here to the words “sexist,” “racists,” “rape,” “deformation,” “slander,” “libel,” “privacy,” “stalked,” “threatened,” and “real danger.” (Did I miss anything?)
Another thing that my sister pointed out: I’ve been homeless too. I was unemployed, had no permanent address, and was sleeping at various friends houses. (I wasn’t actually living on the streets.) What does Mary Volm plan to do to help people in situations like that?
Epilogue:
The doors of the bus opened. There stood Yogi and Boo Boo. The lawyers had been dispatched to new horizons beyond the Burnside Bridgehead, and Yogi, with the aid of the workmen, had managed to leash Boo Boo and haul him out into the daylight. This momentarily stunned Boo Boo into a state of photon-induced complacency.
The driver took a gander at Boo Boo in his T-Shirt and codpiece thong, and then at Yogi, wearing nothing but a leather necktie, and shook his head. “Just another day on the #12”, he muttered.
Yogi produced two transit passes from a furry, undisclosed location, and they boarded.
“Where are we going, Yogi?”, asked Boo Boo.
“Someplace up-to-date, where you can have all the fun you want, my little cubbie”, explained Yogi.
“But I miss the last place, the one you’re virtually raping”, replied Boo Boo.
“But this is Portland, my friend, and there’s no shortage of places for fun. I’ve found you another bathhouse on the Internet!”
“Gee, Yogi, you sure are smart!”
“Smarter than the average bear, Boo Boo!” And with that, Yogi produced an iPhone from the same murky undercoat which hid the transit passes, showing him the URL of the sex club which the bus was whisking them away to along the newly-complete Burnside-Couch copulate.
“How did you find out about this place, Yogi?”
“They have their URL painted in giant letters on their building, visible from I-84. Every commuter knows this sex club!”
“You mean?”
“That’s right… they’re virtually raping themselves, every day, in broad daylight. By posting their web address, they’ve caused the residents of the entire city of Portland, at least on the east side, to virtually rape each and every one of their customers.”
Boo Boo’s thong expanded instantly at the notion of the entire city virtually involved in an nonconsensual, subconscious gay orgy.
And all was well again in the forest.
@zzzzzzz: “What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic.”
Actually, not even in your view of “off topic” are all the comments with your full name off topic. For instance, there was been several comments that mention your name, in relationship to Mary Volm’s campaign. Those comments are obviously on topic, and it is safe to assume that, even if you had never even heard of the Mercury, asking the question “Is Janelle C. Jeffries involved in Mary Volm’s campaign?” is very much on topic, just like asking “Is Jasun Wurster involved in Mary Volm’s campaign?” is on topic.
“I’m thinking of becoming an unregistered voter as long as middle-class people like yourselves continue to bully lower-class people as myself.”
That’s just downright offensive – for the record, I’m very much upper class. And I don’t bully the lower classes – just ask the chap I employ full-time to polish my monocle and diamond-tipped cane collection. But by all means, unregister from voting and move out of the country because some hoity-toity internet nerds called you out on your looniness. That’ll show ’em.
I’m not afraid to identify myself–I use my real name.
Sincerely,
Janelle
Uh, hi, yeah, Janelle? Mary Volm just called. She said to tell you she really appreciates your support, but could you please just not support her any more until after the election? That would be geat, thanks.
Bob, I’ve worked so hard to make that Bus Ride of Shame into a Bus Ride of Pride, thank you very much.
ROUTE 12 4eVa!!!!11
@ Jasun W. — why’d you stop posting under your real name?
Isn’t identity theft usually committed for financial gain? Call me naive, but it seems as though there are better targets out there than a previously homeless loose cannon who writes bad poetry for Street Roots. I’m jus’ sayin’.
Originally I was a Volm supporter, but if this thread is any indication of how she will handle the office, I can no longer support her. Where is she in all of this? Why hasn’t she made an appearance or a statement to the people who need to hear from her? I ask you, are you willing to put another absentee member in Portland City Council?
Obviously, the best man for the job is Janelle Jeffries. She cares enough to be involved in the day-to-day issues that affect all of Portland. What a trooper, steadfastly trolling this thread in an effort to prevent the blatant blogger sodomy that has been repeatedly committed here again and again for nearly a week.
If Janelle will protect this town with half the vigor she has shown in protecting her own name, Janelle C. Jeffries, then by god, she deserves my vote.
Now, who will make it 700?
Most of the people living on the street have some sort of substance abuse/mental health problem. (In many cases, those are actually the same thing just being manifested differently.) While I do support the “housing first” solution in theory, it has to be implemented correctly: In particular, it has to include treatment and job placement assistance, simple putting people in houses by themselves will not work. However, while it is typical to be reactionary and deal with people that are already on the street, the correct thing to do is be proactive and keep people from ending up on the street in the first place. Those people obviously already have housing, and they lost it for one reason or another, most likely because of lack employment and/or lack of treatment. What does Mary Volm propose to do about this problem? While it would be difficult and expensive to go around and check everyone every few months to make sure that they were mentally/substance abuse stable and had a way to pay for their housing, it would be easy and cheap to deal with these problems if the people came to the city seeking the treatment and employment solutions that they needed before they were homeless, and far cheaper than dealing with them after they’d become homeless. I ask Mary Volm’s thoughts on that, one, because I want to know, and two, because it may help our friend here:
@zzzzzzz: “I may be poor and quite possibly homeless, sooner, rather than later.”
Note: I don’t care if you call yourselves middle or upper class. I may not vote for anyone at City Council–I don’t vote for people who believe in sucking babies brains out through abortion. I vote for policies, not murders. The Democratic/Liberals who are anti-life are certainly anti-life on this blog. The only thing The Portland Mercury newspaper or blog is good for is toilet paper.

This is my protest for my privacy being compromised with my last name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six web links posted by the user profiler Graham (he surfed it off the Internet and posted it on this blog) without my consent which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm) on this blog here. I will not stop my protest until The Portland Mercury deletes all the comments that invaded my privacy. I never consented to my last name being posted against my will on this blog site.
Tell The Portland Mercury that a male blogger with the user profile ID of “Graham” posted the full name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six Internet links (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm, one that was an obituary) without the permission of the woman blogger with a user profiler once named “Janelle” from December 8-10, 2009, name now switched to “zzzzzzz” as of December 10, 2009 due to her unwanted privacy invasion of privacy on this blog: ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” with the web link of http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/gyroba… (Davis, M., News Editor, The Portland Mercury, 2009, “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009).
Tell The Portland Mercury this is off topic and invades that woman’s privacy who in the past has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity theft and now has a real personal safety concern with six Internet links (one that is an obituary of her Grand Aunt) and her full name posted in this blog which is supposed to be a topic on Mary Volm. Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that woman’s privacy. Several bloggers also have continued to hurl insult after insult calling me “mentally ill” or other insults and for some reason they are completely oblivious to the fact of the real danger, especially cyber danger from strangers, they have put me in. I am not mentally ill; I have real concerns about my personal information as well as safety.
The outside danger is that the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about me will make it easier for me to be threatened, spammed by internet bullies, cyber stalkers and those who are looking to steal someone’s identity. This blog has created an easy access to my personal life of my full name and six web links, without my consent so an outsider entering this blog could maliciously use that information.
The following bloggers with the profile ID’s have either labeled me as being mentally ill or have said other insults or have misused my personal information by providing my full name or Internet web links without my consent: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo.” Please tell The Portland Mercury that they are way out of line and The Portland Mercury needs to take responsibility of controlling their blog to delete all off topic comments.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic as well as any comments that aren’t about Mary Volm.
Please contact The Portland Mercury and support my “The Portland Mercury Protest for Restorative Justice.” Tell The Portland Mercury to delete “Off Topic” comments, especially the ones found on this blog, ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” with the web link of http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/gyroba… (Davis, M., News Editor, The Portland Mercury, 2009, “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009). Janelle, (current user profiler now as “zzzzzzz”) has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 14th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Again, I’m saying The Portland Mercury should clearly delete all comments that are “Off topic.” The topic for this blog is Mary Volm, anything not about her should be deleted. Thank you for your support.
@Matthew D: I wonder if Mary Volm would be for or against the “Wet House” model being tried in Seattle to try and help chronic street drunks. The model seems to make a lot of sense from a purely financial and resource perspective, but I wonder if it’s the best thing for the people in the house.
Oh boy, Janelle C. Jeffries, please, please, please tell me how the Portland City Council has any control over abortion rights! I’m very intrigued as to how this issue plays into your support for candidates at the local level.
First, your welcome for breaking your mercury blog comment records on this thread…I read how important that is to you “seasoned reporters”.
You,(Mercury Bloggers) all sound like a mob of bullies and real jack-asses for attacking Janelle. I hope you feel good about it. Its really shameful and unprofessional. A boss that would protect you is just as shameful. “You’re fired”, should be the response for Mercury staff. Than again, it is what you are paid to do, which says a lot about the rag Mercury.
Ive been called a number of names here, I am an activist and can handle my ground. To attack a Portland citizen(Janelle) for 600 comments is beyond cool or acceptable. Janelle has been disrespected and insulted on multiple levels and I hope she consults an attorney to explain where her rights were violated, if indeed they were legally violated.
Yes, she was upset and continued to post a defense as comments, but I truly believe you owe her an apology.
Is Libel and slander what the Mercury does best?
I repeat, there was never any right wing conspiracy to recall your precious Mayor. Mary Volm and J. Wurster are not “Right Wingers”, and never will be. Complete lies and rhetoric by an incompetent and “bought” reporting team at Mercury.
Oliver
Another thing: I am not a man, someone is now using my picture for his/her profile and I will never be a politician–nor do I ever want to be one. Your sick make-believe, entertainment story lies will all be exposed tomorrow if The Portland Mercury doesn’t step up and take control of their blog. FYI, my whole brother or sister had his or her brains sucked out through abortion. Really sick that you’d think I’ll agree with the Democrat anti-lifers. I never heard of Mary Volm until December 8, 2009 and you’ve all made up these disgusting stories. Will, I’ll just speak about the reality. The reality is, I don’t support murders, abortion is murder and my sibling was murdered in 1985. If you are a Pro-choice Democratic/Liberal, you are a murder. Don’t taint my name with a non-partisan candidate for City Council who happens to be a Democratic. The only thing I know about Mary Volm is that she does good things for the homeless and the marginalized and that is the only thing I’m interested in. I am pro-life all the way; I am not for the death penalty. I am a Green Libertarian and don’t you ever taint my name with a Democratic or Republican or right winger! I was almost not on this earth because of the USA’s sick laws.
@ABS: Who are you talking to? There are a total of 5 posts on this story that were posted by Mercury Staff. None of those posts directly addressed anything to do with Janelle. Your inability to read the masthead and check that against the names of the people posting… well, I don’t really expect that level of basic research from you.
“First, your welcome for breaking your mercury blog comment records […]”
That’s “you’re welcome”, thank you.
@Janelle Jeffries: Wait… what? Where did this whole abortion rant come from? Are you replying to posts that don’t exist?
@Graham: I think it is better for those people. The fact that they continue to drink probably doesn’t help their employment and/or liver damage problems. But a stable place to live will keep them safer in other regards, such as being picked on by people, (homeless people get beat up a lot,) and reduce their rates of illnesses and freezing to death. So yes, they are better off. Of course, they’d be even better off if they got treatment, (that they’d respond to,) but that doesn’t always work, so…
Of course, to get elected, Mary Volm can’t say things like “I’d like to create a party house for homeless drunks” because a certain number of people in this city would take that out of context and vote against her for it. If Mary Volm is opposed to it because she doesn’t think it will work, then I think people need to take a look at who she is and if that is really who they want to vote for. If on the other hand, she says she is opposed to it, because she knows that if she says she is in favor of it, the press will crucify her, I’m not sure that that is much better. (The interesting thing is, their are only two newspapers in town that I would think wouldn’t crucify her for being in favor of the idea. This one, and Street Roots.)
It is too bad that in 600+ comments, we don’t actually know anything about Mary Volm’s politics other than a sentence or two of soundbites.
“To attack a Portland citizen(Janelle) for 600 comments is beyond cool or acceptable. Janelle has been disrespected and insulted on multiple levels and I hope she consults an attorney to explain where her rights were violated, if indeed they were legally violated.
Yes, she was upset and continued to post a defense as comments, but I truly believe you owe her an apology.”
ABS – Awww, that’s nice. Can Janelle come stay at your place?
@zzzzzzz: I’m not exactly sure why you are blaming us for your mother getting an abortion. Have you thought about talking to your mother about that one?
However, I’m assuming that this post is somehow on topic, so I guess I’m going to have to ask: Did Mary Volm preform the procedure or something? I thought she was a transportation spokesperson, not a doctor.
@Bob R. “You’re welcome”, grammar is so much more important than content….right?
@Graham, dont fool yourself, I am very capable of doing research. Its not hard to find out all the little details of peoples life……
Narcissism is your word for the day, self-love is all you have.
“grammar is so much more important than content…”
You’re quite right. Janelle’s content has been atrocious. The least we can do is spruce up the grammar a bit.
Personally, I tried sticking to the original topic, changing the topic, writing a nice story, and referring matters to my attorney, and nothing changed the surreal stream of unconsciousness coming from Janelle. Maybe fixing the grammar problems around here can help where previous attempts have failed.
Listen–degrading imbeciles who’ve been Internet bullying me for six almost seven days now. If you think that your game of trying to get 700 posts etc. is funny, think again. I have taken offense at your whole malicious game here for quite some time.
I don’t let people bully me around. I do have an attorney and I do have a homosexual uncle, family, and lots & lots of friends who will support and back me up. I don’t need anyone to validate me and tell me who I am, I know who I am.
I have good self-esteem, good relationships in my family and good friends.
Why any of you went on several days of tyrants on me is ridiculous and now I will seek my justice through the law and Media tomorrow unless The Portland Mercury corrects this blog by deleting all the obscene/violating my privacy posts and off topic things here.
Now that I think about it, Janelle was the one who kept posting here again and again, attacking us all, tormenting us with her vivid tales of rape and baby brains.
But certainly the biggest victim here has got to be the Mercury. The Mercury was merely an innocent bystander in all of this tomfoolery, and yet Janelle has repeatedly defamed, slandered and raped it, over and over again, although neither the Mercury, nor any member of it’s staff, ever did or said anything to attack her.
Janelle, you really owe the Mercury a big apology.
FYI, I have a place. BTW, maybe some of you Internet Bully’s have figured that out.
Ooh, ooh, Bob R., is Yogi or Boo Boo Janelle’s homosexual uncle? Sometimes I’m not so good at understanding subtext.
Come on, we can get another 74 comments by 3AM I’ll wager! Who’s with me and Janelle? Let’s see this thing through the end!
Whoops, sorry, “through TO the end.” In all the excitement, my typing skills have suffered!
Hey! Only 73 more comments to break 700!
Homosexual uncle? Aborted brothers and sisters? Dead great aunts? Why, the whole Jefferies clan is getting in on this wacky thread!
“is Yogi or Boo Boo Janelle’s homosexual uncle?”
The producer in me says I should play this out like “Lost”, until the entire audience is simultaneously infinitely suspenseful and infinitely apathetic.
Why 3AM? Are you allowing for 30 minutes after bar closing time for a last-minute surge?
(Or 30 minutes after fabric store closing time for a last-minute serge?)
I’m not sure that “having a homosexual uncle” says much of anything about who you are, (or who Mary Volm is for that matter.) I mean, I’ve got an ex (my aunt got a divorce) uncle that abused his own children and dealt drugs and is currently in prison for trying to kill his dealer. But that doesn’t mean I support child abuse, drug dealing, or murder, actually I think those are all pretty awful things. I’ve actually never met the guy, but even if I had, and I thought he was a nice guy in person, I still would think that child abuse, drug dealing, and murder are wrong.
Great, we’re not yet in 700 comments and people are already crying “uncle”.
3am seems within grasp to break the 700 mark, but of course, I would readily accept any and all comments made after that time, as long as they are keeping within the true spirit of this post.
I’d love to find out who that mysterious older stranger is. He’s the one in the red flannel standing next to the bar. It would seem this gentleman has been eyeing wee Boo Boo for the better part of the hour now!
But Boo Boo is on the bus… Is there a bus with a bar? Is there a bus with a bear bar? Enquiring minds want to know!
Come on! We can do anything we set out to do! 636 comments?! Is that all we have in us? This thread could be the biggest and best Mercury thread ever! A Portland Christmas miracle!
On the first day of Christmas, I read the Mercury…
I have been informed by the gay marriage police that it’s time to stop blogging, so I’ll check in on you kids tomorrow. Behave.
If there is, it would certainly exist in Portland.
It is a renegade bus, this bar bus, appearing only at 1:11 AM on 5th and Alder, and only under the most unpredictable of circumstances. Its windows are obscured by a heavy fog of Poppers, sweat and the spent essence of previous riders. The aisles are littered with the lonely souls of men who have forgotten what they were once looking for and the mouldering remains of discarded pic-a-nic baskets…Boo Boo had heard stories of this bus, everyone had. But so few had ever seen it, much less boarded it.
You don’t go looking for this bus. It comes looking for you…
Awwwwwww! But we want to know what happens! How will we get a decent night’s sleep with little Boo Boo out there doing god-knows-what in the wet streets of Portland?
Janelle? Surely you must have something to add. Don’t leave your fans hanging here.
Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros: The Magnetic Zeros’s Channel; YouTube, 2009, “Home,” Retrieved December 15, 2009, from http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMagneticZer…
Is this your way of apologizing to everyone?
Wait a minute! That’s a man in your profile photo! But you said you weren’t a man! Were you lying again?
It seems to me that we’ve got ourselves someone that loves to be a victim here. Not only does Janelle keep coming back for abuse, but she considers herself a victim of her mother’s decision to abort a fetus that wasn’t Janelle….because it’s all about Janelle. Everything!
Clearly, the wrong pregnancy was chosen to be terminated, here….
Oh, Queen B*tch Bang, it would seem that you have given a voice to the thought that has crossed more than a few minds here today. Thank you for this.
Please, join us on our mission.
1) Please help to elect Janelle C. Jeffries to Portland City Council in 2010. She is a reluctant candidate, but with a grass roots movement such as ours she can certainly win! After all, she isn’t one of those horrible penis-owning men, and her half sister is half black! (Regrettably, she has not divulged which half of her sister is black, or whether the dividing line runs horizontally or vertically.)
2) Please help us to hit the 700 comment mark this morning on this thread! Sadly, the more prolific writers among us have taken leave, but with a few brave insomniacs such as yourself we can overcome that obstacle.
Janelle, why have you forsaken us?
It really is bedtime for me, but I think I should add to the whole abortion thing:
Pro-choice isn’t about whether or not you personally believe in abortions/would get one. Pro-choice is about your feelings on laws being passed to outlaw abortions. (This is actually very similar to the way that I’m pro-gay marriage. It is safe to say that the odds of me getting one is pretty close to zero, but I don’t see why that should stop other people from getting one.)
And I’ve got a real problem with the argument that it is murder: If it is, then taking people off feeding tubes/heart-lung machines/etc would also be murder, (and “do not resuscitate” orders would be considered suicide.) The baby has zero chance of survival outside the womb, just like those people have zero chance of survival without a lot of effort on the part of the doctors. What the pro-life undertones are really about is control: Specifically, white upper class males who don’t want women to control their own bodies. (Not that I’d expect anyone here to know anything about that.)
But what does Mary Volm feel about abortion rights? She is what this thread is about, so does anyone know? I know there are two Volm supporters on this thread, I don’t suppose they could look that up and tell us?
Matthew D, your comments are, as always, well thought out and equally well-written.
You are absolutely right. We should be asking ourselves if Mary Volm believes that Mother Jeffries got rid of the right one. If so, does this makes Janelle’s mom a murderer as she has stated earlier? (in the eyes of Mary Volm, of course.)
I think the real question is: “What would Corey duBrowa do?”
HOMOSEXUAL UNCLE!
Christ! This thing is still going on? Why won’t it just die? It shudders, it crawls over into a dark corner, its breathing grows faint, and finally it just fades away until….no….no….wait…is that….yes! Janelle has come back one more time and given it mouth-to-mouth again! It’s alive! It’s alive!
Hey, maybe Janelle C. Jeffries isn’t all that bad. That video link was pretty good, I’m looking forward to watching the other 11 parts of it while I oppress the lower classes today.
@ElGordo & Janelle Jeffries: That’s a good video. I’m going to go home tonight and illegally download the album.
Wait, video? What video? More links, please!
And, they’re off!

@zzzzzzz: “I never heard of Mary Volm until December 8, 2009”
Why exactly are you supporting her again? I mean, yes, she is female, but besides that? I read her website, and it didn’t actually say much for someone that is running for public office. She was Albany Timber Carnival Queen. Like you, she thinks that people care about her GPA, (they don’t.) But does she have positions on any issues? We can start with simple things like neon roses on buildings, and what the Made in Oregon sign should say, and then we can move up the list to the CRC and how to fund transportation and finally all the way up to the complicated issues like actually ending homelessness or getting the police and the mentally ill on the same page. But what do we know about her? Nothing at all…
“and you’ve all made up these disgusting stories.”
What stories are you talking about? For 650+ comments, there is a real dearth of information here about the candidate. There area few stories though the ones about her being a spokesperson for the second recall, (which she told,) or the limo rage, (which is made up: Specifically she did the making up.)
This is not funny, see you all in court. Due to Internet Bullies maliciously using my full name and profile picture from my private Facebook account, I am forced to deactivate my Facebook account. If a prospective employer searches and finds this blog, they’ll get to see all the abuse I’ve suffered.
“see you all in court”
Still waiting. Already gave you my lawyer’s info. No calls.
Pardon me, but how are you planning on hiring a lawyer with no job and no income? That court-appointed lawyer thing is only for defending you after you commit a crime.
664!
@Janelle Jeffries: I’m not entirely sure how you’re going to see us in court. Please examine the following link and notice that someone with more money than you has already tried this sort of thing once and failed: http://www.citmedialaw.org/threats/beard-v…
“my private Facebook account”
I want to point out the obvious flawed reasoning here, but I just think it’s a waste of keystrokes at this point. Instead I will just counter with the concept of “My personal 300′ wide billboard” and leave it at that.
Congrats to whomever just posted comment 666.
That’s right, Janelle. It’s the Comment of the Beast™, now with 30% more snark!
Oh, and does anyone know what religion Mary Volm is, perchance? According to the judge’s ruling on the 2008 case against Mercury anonymous blog commenter, comments on topic are protected, but comments that are unrelated to the topic would not be protected as “news sources” by the Mercury.
Is this the part where I once again post a screenshot of my email from Matt Davis threatening to have his lawyers subpoena my ISP and sue me for emotional damages because I was a meanie?
700 is looking so close, yet so very far.
As near as I can guess, just about every comment on this blog post has been on topic. Except for Bob R’s wonderful BooBoo Bear slashfic.
672. Come on everyone! We can do it!

At least you’re smart enough to know that lawyers cost money. Expect to hear from a lawyer in or around December 28th, 2009.
I made an incident report today, December 15, 2009 at 12:39pm, about this Internet Bullying, to Officer Dunick: Incident# PP0912150865.
Dammit Janelle! How many times do I have to explain to you those voices in your head aren’t really other people?
I sure hope Mary Volm doesn’t think hers are!
Was officer Dunick able to refrain from rolling his or her eyes while you explained how you kept going back onto an internet blog thread more than 100 times in a week and repeatedly posting insulting, racist and sexist comments to strangers so that you could be gang raped repeatedly by throngs of “Internet Bullies?”
What’s tuly amazing is that you’ve made it to 31 without having a room of virtual strangers bat you between their paws long before now. How is that possible, given the fact that your impulse control is even poorer than your writing skills?
How long do you suppose it will take you to figure out that in the adult world, the lunch monitor doesn’t run out onto the playground and call time out when people say things you don’t like? Oh wait, no, I take that back, that Aqua Blue Studio wank-off did.
Dear internet jr. detectives:
What useful info can we glean from “Incident# PP0912150865” and “Officer Dunick”?
Huggles,
A CAT
Good question. Janelle C. Jeffries’ home address and contact info? Let’s find out. The officer who took said report has 24 hours to file it. It should be baked to a nice crisp golden brown by this time tomorrow.
Hmmm, it’s getting a bit slow in here. Better whump that hornet’s nest again and see if there’s anything left in it:

Janelle, you do realize that your police report is public record, right? I can’t wait for you to sue them for raping your privacy when one of us gets a copy of it. To tie this back into the legally protected topic: Mary Volm supporters sure are something, huh?
@A CAT, not much really. Officer Scott Dunick (Department of Public Safety Standards and Training #26973) is assigned to the East Precinct. The Portland Police Bureau does not allow for online searching of police records, and I seriously doubt that they’d allow the public to see the records in relation to an ongoing case. However, once the case has been closed, for about $22 we can get a copy of all the paperwork involved with the case. http://www.portlandonline.com/police/index…
Additionaly, Officer Dunick has a very high rating at http://www.ratemycop.com with a comment of “great attitude” and five stars.

This is my protest for my privacy being compromised with my last name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six web links posted by the user profiler Graham (he surfed it off the Internet and posted it on this blog) without my consent which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt listing all my family members (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm) on this blog here. I will not stop my protest until The Portland Mercury deletes all the comments that invaded my privacy. I never consented to my last name being posted against my will on this blog site.
Tell The Portland Mercury that a male blogger with the user profile ID of “Graham” posted the full name (December 10, 2009 @ 8:16am) and six Internet links (December 10, 2009 @ 2:32pm, one that was an obituary) without the permission of the woman blogger with a user profiler once named “Janelle” from December 8-10, 2009, name now switched to “zzzzzzz” as of December 10, 2009 due to her unwanted privacy invasion of privacy on this blog: ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council?

Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009).
Tell The Portland Mercury this is off topic and invades that woman’s privacy who in the past has been a victim of rape, menacing and identity theft and now has a real personal safety concern with six Internet links (one that is an obituary of her Grand Aunt) and her full name posted in this blog which is supposed to be a topic on Mary Volm. Tell The Portland Mercury to take responsibility of their blog and delete off-topic comments; especially the comments invading that woman’s privacy. Several bloggers also have continued to hurl insult after insult calling me “mentally ill” or other insults and for some reason they are completely oblivious to the fact of the real danger, especially cyber danger from strangers, they have put me in. I am not mentally ill; I have real concerns about my personal information as well as safety.
The outside danger is that the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about me will make it easier for me to be threatened, spammed by internet bullies, cyber stalkers and those who are looking to steal someone’s identity. This blog has created an easy access to my personal life of my full name and six web links, without my consent so an outsider entering this blog could maliciously use that information.
The following bloggers with the profile ID’s have either labeled me as being mentally ill or have said other insults or have misused my personal information by providing my full name or Internet web links without my consent: “Graham,” “embodiment of innocence (on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” and “ElGordo.” Note: There are numerous user-profilers who change their profile id name over and over again to hurl insults and invade my personal privacy. Please tell The Portland Mercury that they are way out of line and The Portland Mercury needs to take responsibility of controlling their blog to delete all off topic comments.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic as well as any comments that aren’t about Mary Volm.

Janelle, (current user profiler now as “zzzzzzz”) has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 14-15th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Again, I’m saying The Portland Mercury should clearly delete all comments that are “Off topic.” The topic for this blog is Mary Volm, anything not about her should be deleted. Thank you for your support.
Janelle, has that music video been authorized by the artists involved? If not, you’re clearly advocating for copyright infringement. Why do you rape NOFX’s intellectual property, Janelle? Why do you rape them?
Not that it really needs anything more, but if Officer Dunick posts to this thread, it will truly be one of the greatest moments of the internet.
Janelle, you are one waste of sperm and egg. I cannot believe you wasted a police officer’s time with your nonsense….or, I should say, your “ja-nonsense”, especially since you started it with the name calling. Good God, woman. Get a grip of yourself!

I’m genuinely concerned that should the Police Bureau find that Jenelle’s complaint is without merit or at least unactionable, that she will perceive that conclusion to be indicative of a widespread conspiracy against her at the highest levels of city government.
Now that this is (allegedly) a police matter, I wonder if Mary Volm will comment on it?
How the bureau deals with complaints could well be a mater she would have to deal with as commissioner. Better to get an idea now as to how her office would handle this matter, should the Police Bureau wind up in her portfolio.
OMFG, someone did NOT just say “Janonsense!” Snort!
I was gone for awhile, what happened? Did Officer Scott Dunick arrest teh internetz?
Oooh! 689!!!
689.
Currently on Mary Volm’s website she only lists one supporter/endorser and that person is Avel Gordly. For those who aren’t aware, Avel Gordly is the spokesperson and chief petitioner for the second Recall Sam Adams campaign. I’m not 100% sure what that implies, but I’m guessing that someone else can connect the dots for me.
I’m reading Janelle C. Jeffries’ diatribe a bit more carefully, as she was kind enough to repost it here for the 73rd time.
Janelle! Stop posting this! If not out of respect for Mary Volm, whose campaign will most certainly be linked with your psychotic rants long after the election, then at least out of respect for Marylhurst! Can’t you see? If would-be students read that abomination of the English language and find out you graduated in the top of your class, the school is ruined! At least have the decency to let Bob proofread and edit it!
692!
Scrolling back to 12:54am, I find:
—
“It is a renegade bus, this bar bus, appearing only at 1:11 AM on 5th and Alder, and only under the most unpredictable of circumstances. Its windows are obscured by a heavy fog of Poppers, sweat and the spent essence of previous riders. The aisles are littered with the lonely souls of men who have forgotten what they were once looking for and the mouldering remains of discarded pic-a-nic baskets…Boo Boo had heard stories of this bus, everyone had. But so few had ever seen it, much less boarded it.”
“You don’t go looking for this bus. It comes looking for you…”
—
Wow… I’m humbled. Clearly there is a superior author at work here. I will take up your challenge to extend the Boo Boo saga a bit later, using this as inspiration, which means I will steal blatantly (virtually rapefully), but I’m afraid I won’t do as good a job as what you’ve presented.
Bob! Your flattery is far in excess of any talent I may have shown.
Clearly, were it not for the brilliant foundation you painstakingly erected with your own two hands over the small hours of last night, my addition could never have been born.
You, sir, are the true talent here. I merely stepped aboard your fast-moving coattails as you strode past, and settled in for the ride.
“painstakingly erected with your own two hands over the small hours of last night”
*cough* *ahem*
🙂
I think the honor of the 700th comment should go to Janelle C. Jeffries herself. For was it not she who brought us all together here to argue politics and to rape one another?
Like BlackedOut, I’ll also pony up some cold, hard cash if you let me listen in on your conversation with your lawyer about this, Janelle. I have no doubt that you talked to a police officer about this, but I highly doubt he’s going to pursue this. It all started when you got bent out of shape because someone didn’t think your “cat woman” comment was wonderful. You started the name-calling here. If you don’t have a thick skin, then keep your thoughts and your business off of the internet.
Janelle, have you contacted the television news media about your ordeal? I think you should. Please!
699. I really hope that Janelle posts her diatribe next. She deserves the honor of the 700 get.
I stole that cow’s glory, I did.
Pretend she posted something here.
Sincerely,
Janelle
It looks to me like the person that’s airing out the most dirty laundry of Ms. Janelle is JANELLE:

Good luck with that lawsuit, Janelle. You’ve exposed yourself in more ways that Graham or anyone else commenting on this post ever could.
Damn! QBB, nice work! I don’t think I could have sifted through that pile of shit Janelle piled up on this blog. But from where I’m standing you are correct. Ms. Batshit Nutjob 2009 is definitely her own worst enemy.
Re: “I can only think that this is one of top ten most evil things that have happened to me in my life. I will never forget this because it will continue to ruin my life.” Please tell me she was not referring to this whole email thread. Please say this was not the life-destroying event she refers to in this passage.
Nah, I think she was referring to being homeless.
…or, maybe not?!
The Portland Mercury Quest for Restorative Justice
I am begging the whole public, please help me get my personal information I never provided deleted from this blog. The facts are that the user-profiler Graham first insulted me December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm, Graham first posted my full name December 10th, 2009 at 8:16am (I had previously only had provided my first name to this blog and I never provided my full name) and December 10, 2009 at 2:32pm Graham first posted six web links about myself which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt. I’ve contacted The Portland Mercury December December 10-12, 14-15th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. I also filed a police incident report December 15, 2009. This is a civil matter and that is all the police can do now at the moment.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic as well as any comments that aren’t about Mary Volm.
The outside danger is that the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about me will make it easier for me to be threatened, spammed by internet bullies, cyber stalkers and those who are looking to steal someone’s identity. This blog has created an easy access to my personal life of my full name and six web links, without my consent so an outsider entering this blog could maliciously use that information.

God, I forgot about the whole “double Scorpio” thing. I don’t wanna be That Guy here but; that actually explains a lot.
@zzzzzzz: “This is a civil matter and that is all the police can do now at the moment.”
So the police couldn’t actually help, huh? I’m glad that they didn’t laugh at you though, it is nice that they treated you with respect. That police officer is a better person than I am. Still, I have to wonder how much police time is spent dealing with things like this. For instance, in the feature this week (“The Name of the Law”) they talk about how people call in fake traffic accidents. The quote is “a lot of the time these fake calls come from mentally imbalanced people.”
What would Mary Volm suggest we do about this problem?
“Nah, I think she was referring to being homeless.”
Seriously @QBB, that’s what I thought at first. Then I reread it and decided being homeless wasn’t continually ruining her life. Was she, Janalle C. Jeffries, saying that a week’s worth of Internet snark was in fact in the top ten list of her worst life experiences?! WTF?!
Let us assume that the two rapes got two places. Being a runaway at 16? You know some bad shit has to go down at home, and then on the street. So that should get 1 space. Homelessness? Definitely 1 spot in the top 10. Identity theft, being menaced and the (eye roll here) witnessing of a sibling’s murder, even indirectly? I’m giving those their own spaces, as she has mentioned them enough times for me to know she was adversely affected. And then incarceration. Oh yes, that earns a spot.
This leaves us with two places open for the top ten worst life experiences. With the other 8 playing out as seriously as they do (except for the sibling murder), how could a nasty blog thread on the local entertainment rag web site even come close? But, didn’t it sound as though that was precisely what Janelle was saying? What? Wha—what?! I’ll be honest here, this was pretty damn tame compared to most of the flame wars I’ve seen go down online. No one made fun of her dead aunt. No one said she must stink like pee and PBR from being homeless. No one even said her mom killed the wrong fet—oh wait, never mind on that one. Anyway, my point is, the arguments against Janelle have been well thought out, researched, and based on information supplied by the so-called “victim” in this debacle.
None of these “attacks” would have occurred in the first place, had she not immediately started calling Graham a drunk and a cracker by her third comment. (But of course a 31 year-old felon who used to live on the streets with two bi-racial sisters would have no fucking clue that “cracker” was a racial slur against a white person!)
She comes out fighting, and then flips her shit in cyberspace when people call her on her actions. And then she repeats steps 1-3 for another 6 days. @rich bachelor hates to be the guy making the Scorpio comment? Well, I’m sorry to be here saying “she asked for it”. But WTF else would one gather from all of this? She didn’t merely ask for it, she filled out the 2-year subscription card for it and then bolted to the mailbox to drop it in.
@Matthew D.: You can ask Mary Volm yourself at her website: http://maryvolmforportland.com/ where she has a link for people to e-mail her. I am not affiliated with Mary Volm in any way and I only heard of her for the first time December 8, 2009.
BTW, I actually was the one who stated to the police officer I know this is a civil matter (and he confirmed that it was) but I would just like a confirmation number to show that I had spoken with him which he gave me.
@The Portland Mercury hates you and so do I [my first name]: Another libelous statement towards me, I am not a felon. I think you are though. In fact, anyone that hasn’t at one time posted at least their real first name at least once here is probably not a felon. Felons have a lot to hide, so they’re real street smart. If I was a felon, I would have been really smart and automatically have used an alias name, alas, I wasn’t.

I am begging the whole public, please help me get my personal information I never provided deleted from this blog. The facts are that the user-profiler Graham first insulted me December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm, Graham first posted my full name December 10th, 2009 at 8:16am (I had previously only had provided my first name to this blog and I never provided my full name) and December 10, 2009 at 2:32pm Graham first posted six web links about myself which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt all without my consent. I’ve contacted The Portland Mercury December December 10-12, 14-15th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. I also filed a police incident report December 15, 2009.

@zzzzzzz: “BTW, I actually was the one who stated to the police officer I know this is a civil matter”
Of course you were. And we all applaud your advanced knowledge of the law. Does anyone know if Mary Volm went to law school at Marylhurst?
This is an abridged version of something Janelle Jeffries just said, “In fact, anyone that has posted their real first name at least once here is probably a felon [I removed the double negative in the statement].”
So you’re saying that I’m a felon. That you’re a felon. That Rob is a felon. That Matthew D. is a felon. That Ezra is a felon. That Matt Davis is a felon. You get the picture.
@Janelle Jeffries: I’m curious why you’re waiting till December 28th to take any action in regards to your supposed civil lawsuit against the users of this site. And I’m also curious as to why your legal counsel did not immediately suggest that you stop posting and engaging with the people that you’re supposedly being defamed by.
If I were to hazard a guess, it would be because you have no legal counsel and that you’re creating a delusional story for yourself where you’ll somehow prove everyone wrong and be vindicated somehow.
I’m also going to state that I have the strong belief that you personally hijacked the supposed topic of Mary Volm’s candidacy at 18:23 on 12/08/2009 when you started insulting me and anyone who disagreed with you. Anything after that point was just in response to things that you’ve said. You turned this whole thing into a discussion about you. YOU MADE YOURSELF THE TOPIC THROUGH YOUR OWN ACTIONS. [sorry for the all caps].
@zzzzzzz: ” I am not a felon.”
You are absolutely correct. I was in error with my statement that you were a felon. At no time did Janelle C. Jeffries of Portland, Oregon ever claim to be a felon. She said that she had “a minor criminal background from almost seven years ago”. I wholly retract my previous statement as it has been pointed out to me to be false.
Neither I nor the Portland Mercury, its affiliate publications, advertisers, employees or any other member of the Portland Mercury staff have any knowledge of Janelle C. Jeffries’ personal life, other than what has been presented here by Ms. Jeffries. Every effort has been made to report or repost this information in an accurate manner. If any information given here is found to be in error, please send a copy of the erroneous statement as it appeared in writing to the attention of “Corrections Department”, The Portland Mercury, 605 NE 21st Ave, Suite 200, Portland, OR 97232.
Has anyone performed a criminal background check of Mary Volm? If you have access to the results of any such investigation, please post this information, or the method one should use to obtain that information in this forum.
@ Graham: I meant: In fact, anyone that has posted his or her real name at least once, is probably not a felon.
Sorry, I’m forgetting that I’m dealing with professional entertainment yellow journalists here, possibly the paparazzi of the future for a career.
If makes you real sick, I took the GRE and was above the mean in the analytical writing section recently. I’m not a professional writer; politician or any other made-up story people here like to make up for fictitious pleasures.

“If makes you real sick” – yeah, I bet random word fragments like that got you really far on your GED. Congratulations.
But you are a batshit crazy nutjob. No one’s fiction could ever top your blatant truth.
Whoops, my mistake. GRE. We all know that you, Janelle C. Jeffries, graduated from Marylhurst with a high (though not perfect) GPA already. I regret the error.
@ ElGordo: Actually, any typo I have is a perfect example of the horrendous strain the Internet bullies, defamers, slanderers, cyber stalkers and all of those who’ve been libel towards me on this blog have put me through for one week now. My typos are an indicator of my unwarranted stress due from this horrific toilet paper blog by The Portland Mercury. Now, Willamette Week will have more customers as a result of this Yellow Journalism from this blog.
@Janelle Jeffries: I think you must have gotten really really really lucky when you took your GREs. Your writing so far has shown a dramatic flair for inaccurate and incorrect writing. You have claimed repeatedly that you write everything in Microsoft Word before you copy and paste that writing into the comment box. Yet you seem unaware that MS Word will not check for contextual meaning or the relevance of what you’re writing.
I also have noticed over and over and over again that you have stubbornly refused to address anything that is an actual valid criticism of you. Every single time that someone points out that you’ve done or said something stupid you retort with a personal non-sequitur.
“I’m blond”
“I’m a double Scorpio”
“I’ve been raped twice”
“I’ve been homeless”
“My GPA was blah”
“I did decently on the GRE”
“My uncle is gay”
“I had my identity stolen”
“My half-sister is half-black”
“My mom had an abortion”
“& et al”
Why have you not ever addressed any of the valid concerns that people have brought up about your actions and statements? What are you hiding? Why are you so afraid to admit to a mistake?
Fuck, I really do feel sorry for you. Here, I’ll give you a freebie. Let’s role-play:
Us: Janelle, why did you call him a cracker? That’s racist
Janelle: Oh! I didn’t mean it in a racist sense, I was just making a dumb joke about his name. You know ‘Graham cracker’?Like the food? Ha Ha!
Us: Oh, that’s not racist. Just stupid.
See! It’s so fucking simple.

The following bloggers and a few more not listed as those user profilers continue to change their name, with the profile ID’s have either labeled me as being mentally ill or have said other insults or have misused my personal information by providing my full name or Internet web links without my consent: “Graham,” “[my full name] does not understand the law”(on December 10, 2009 this user profile had the ID of “Google [my full name]” promoting the public to search my full name against my will ),” “Matthew D.,””Bob R.,” “BlackedOut,” “rich bachelor,” “two squatting women,” “This keeps getting better…,” “Aunty Christ,” “oddly inconsistent,” “Alexjon,” “show me,” “temblors,” “Xenu,” “tabarnhart,” “Can I haz a supeena?,” “Queen B*tch Bang” and “ElGordo.” Note: There are numerous user-profilers who change their profile id name over and over again to hurl insults and invade my personal privacy. Please tell The Portland Mercury that they are way out of line and The Portland Mercury needs to take responsibility of controlling their blog to delete all off topic comments.
Please contact The Portland Mercury and support my “The Portland Mercury Quest for Restorative Justice.” Tell The Portland Mercury to delete “Off Topic” comments, especially the ones found on this blog, ”BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM” with the web link of http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/gyroba… (Davis, M., News Editor; The Portland Mercury, 2009, “BREAKING: Mary Volm For City Council? Election 2010/ News, Retrieved December 12, 2009). Janelle, (current user profiler now as “zzzzzzz”) has contacted The Portland Mercury December 10-12, 14-15th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. Again, I’m saying The Portland Mercury should clearly delete all comments that are “Off topic.” The topic for this blog is Mary Volm, anything not about her should be deleted. Maybe one day, The Portland Mercury will not resort to Yellow Journalism again. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

For anyone interested in running a criminal background check on anyone in the State of Oregon: http://www.oregon.gov/OSP/ID/docs/crim_his…
The form requires quite a bit of information. More information than can easily be gleamed from a simple Google search of someone.
But hey! Let’s see what we’ve got.
Jeffries, Janelle C.
Portland, OR
DOB: approx November 1978.
I mean, that’s all stuff that was easily figured out from information that Janelle herself posted. I mean, she said her sign, age and city where she lives. And after all, this is just a simple public records request. That’s why we’ve got a functional bureaucratic governmental system.
Rrrrrright, Janelle. Again, if a bunch of nerds like us on a supposedly “irrelevant”, “yellow journalism” website comments section can cause that much stress in your life, I don’t hold out much hope for your future career endeavors. As many others have suggested here, I fully encourage you to seek the help of a mental health professional. And with that, I bid you good night.
“My typos are an indicator of my unwarranted stress due from this horrific toilet paper blog by The Portland Mercury. Now, Willamette Week will have more customers as a result of this Yellow Journalism from this blog.” What? Did that even make any sense?
And sister, perhaps you didn’t notice that this little thread is doing anything but hurting the Mercury’s business. In fact, on the Mercury homepage, you have the honor of being in the number one spot on the Top Commenters list! You and your repeated postings are actually helping those who would otherwise miss it to find this thread! Those new readers are the moths being drawn in by your front porch light of insanity!
Perhaps the Mercury will give you your very own column after the dust settles here.
“Blogtown! Come for the article, stay for the CRAZY!”
“Us: Janelle, why did you call him a cracker? That’s racist
Janelle: Oh! I didn’t mean it in a racist sense, I was just making a dumb joke about his name. You know ‘Graham cracker’?Like the food? Ha Ha!
Us: Oh, that’s not racist. Just stupid.”
Before reading this portion by @Graham, I would have claimed I could not possibly laugh any harder this evening. My mistake.
“BTW, I actually was the one who stated to the police officer I know this is a civil matter (and he confirmed that it was) but I would just like a confirmation number to show that I had spoken with him which he gave me.”
Well, I’m glad you finally fessed up and admitted that talking to the police was merely a scare-tactic on your part (and a poor one at that) and that nothing will result from your report…except, perhaps, add to the mounting evidence that proves you are mentally imbalanced.
It looks as though we’re holding at 730 for the time being. I regret I have to leave the party and go to sleep. Good night, Mary Ellen. Good night, John Boy. Good night Janelle C. Jeffries.
Night, supeena… I’ll see y’all tomorrow.
Well, lessee…’Libel’ and ‘liable’ are two entirely different words, but she’s used them interchangeably throughout this week, so let’s just go ahead and say that stress isn’t necessarily the central issue with her language problems.
Unless, of course, being mildly disagreed with is enough to set off every fucking alarm bell in her head, which leads to stress behaviors, and apparently it does, but really who cares…800, here we come.
I was thinking….since abortion is a medical procedure and patients and their privacy are protected under HIPPA…does that mean Janelle “raped the privacy” of either her mom or some other woman that her father impregnated by announcing on this very-public blog of said abortion?
@zzzzzzz: “I can only think that this is one of top ten most evil things that have happened to me in my life. I will never forget this because it will continue to ruin my life.”
Add this to my list of phrases that has lost its meaning though overuse.
So I’m walking out of the Fred Meyer at 11pm the other day, and this woman, (who actually looks a lot like our friend* here,) is trying to get in, and security is telling her, no they are closed, and she throws a fit, (complains that there are customers in the store already, of course, they are all leaving; complains that they are doing this to her because she is a woman; complains that she won’t take that long and all she wants are some marshmallows; and finally complains that “this is the worst thing that happened to her all day.”) And I know I shouldn’t have, but at this point I had to get involved: I told her that the gas station across the street probably has marshmallows, and if they don’t, there is a Safeway two miles away that is open until 1am, and of course I had to add “If having to drive 2 more miles to get marshmallows is the worst thing that happened to you today, you should consider yourself are lucky.” And then she launches into me about how hard her life is, (implying I guess, that this wasn’t actually the worst thing that happened to her,) and so on, and at that point I had to say, “Well, I’m sorry I tried to help,” cause, what am I supposed to say at that point? That is basically the abridged version of this flame war.
Of course, the real question is: Would Mary Volm do anything to make Fred Meyers have longer hours?
*”Our friend” is, unfortunately, an expression that means, ‘the person we are talking about.’ Since, you know, we can’t actually call her by name since it seems to be copyright or something, nor can we use an expression that is actually clear about who we are referring to, (“the local batshit woman,”) because she might get insulted, we are stuck with the generic “our friend.” Not that I’m in any way implying that she is.
Question for the legal experts:
Is simply threatening to file a SLAPP suit enough to invoke the anti-SLAPP laws and make her pay our attorney costs, or does she actually have to file the suit before we can start raking up billable hours in the defense? I ask, because obviously, threatening to sue would make a certain number of people back down, which is entire point of SLAPP lawsuits anyways, so it seems like the intent of the law would be to hire (and bill for) the anti-SLAPP attorneys now…
Of course, doing that would mean that the “Thanks to Graham, I may be poor and quite possibly homeless, sooner, rather than later.” statement would actually be true, and even I’m not that mean, but I’m just curious…
I think the reason she isn’t going to file until the 28th is because she expects to get money for Christmas or something, and then she’ll be able to afford a lawyer. Of course, if I was unemployed and going to get some money, the last thing I’d want to do is give it to a lawyer. I’d want to give it to the electric company or my mortgage company or something like that. But maybe I’m special like that.
(Sorry for the three posts from me in a row, I went to bed at 9 last night and now I’m catching up.)
@zzzzzzz: “Sorry, I’m forgetting that I’m dealing with professional entertainment yellow journalists here, possibly the paparazzi of the future for a career.”
Thank you. While I consider myself more of an amateur ‘under the bridge’ sort of troll, the fact that you think I’m a professional yellow journalist is a real compliment. Do you really think I’ve got a chance to go all the way to Paparazzi? I was thinking about buying one of those infrared cameras, you know, the type that show you how hot things are, which means if you point it at people you can see their underwear, since the underwear is an extra layer of clothing and it acts as an insulator. I was actually going to use it to do insulation inspections on people’s houses, (all of my friends seem to think I know something about insulation, so I thought I’d actually learn, instead of BSing my way though it, like I do on most things in life,) but using it as a Paparazzi tool would probably really get me in the door, (of an actual violation of privacy suit, but still, in the door of something.)
Wow. 1000 is actually starting to look like a possibility.
@A cat: If the lawsuit isn’t filed until Dec 28th, then yes, we might have to continue this thread until then.
But what is really important to me isn’t getting to 1000. It is making sure that this page comes up first when people Google “Mary Volm X”, where X can be anything from police use of time, to Fred Meyer hours, and getting money for Christmas. It isn’t that I actually have anything against Mary Volm, but her supporters seem to be, well to put it lightly, a difficult group of people to deal with, (you know, filing lawsuits against people they disagree with and all that,) and I don’t want those people hanging around city hall thinking that she owes them something, so I’m going to make sure this page comes up every time anyone Googles anything to do with issues that their supporters feel strongly about, under the hopes that other people who feel strongly about those issues will Google her and realize what the problem is and vote for someone else. Our friend here would do the same, she has even said so: “It also would be very helpful for me to tell me who you’ll vote for in all upcoming elections, that way, I’ll be sure to not vote for that candidate if s/he represents your ideals.”
Speaking of which, is Mary Volm pro-choice or pro-life? The people want to know.
Well, I kept on saying there that if M. Volm was more or less a nonentity to me, at least I could say that her friends were a bunch of cranks. But a quick view of her Facebook page has mostly a lot of Democrats, generally of the career politician variety.
It was the Facebook page that was originally under discussion here -the one with the crap grammar- that actually gave me the impression that she was mostly supported by reactionary bedwetters. Then ol’ Whatsername (my personal choice for what we should call the person we’re really talking about) came in and, yes- made it about herself.
The “We Love Mary Volm!” page seems like it was written by someone with more or less the same writing skills as Whatsername, for whatever that’s worth. By the way, for all this idiotic class warfare shit she’s talked on here, that’s a pretty Chairman of the Board way of viewing the world: “We do not approve of Our name being fully spelled out by the likes of You…” It reminds me of The Oregonian’s recently departed Lillian Mongeau.
I know nothing about Mary Volm and, 700+ comments later, I still know nothing. All that the one Volm supporter on this comment thread talks about is herself. How disappointing.
JANELLE THEY’RE USING YOUR NAME TO LIBEL YOU ON ANOTHER WEBSITE!!! THIS ONE IS RUN BY THE MERCURY TOO!!!
http://questionland.portlandmercury.com/qu…
@Queen B*tch Bang: “All that the one Volm supporter on this comment thread talks about is herself.”
And now apparently she regrets it and is spamming the thread in the hopes of it to go away. It is all very odd behavior.
Don’t get me wrong, I talk about myself too as a way to show how I arrived at my viewpoint for the subject at hand. For instance, if I wanted to complain about my mother aborting my sister, (she didn’t, and I’m glad because my sister gives me advice about what to post here,) I’m point out that Mary Volm isn’t pro-death. (And given that 1/5th of the world (i.e. China,) is pro-death, that is indeed saying something.) If I was talking about suing people for deformation, I’d point out Mary Volm’s positions on deformation and/or anti-SLAPP laws. But whatsername saying she was once homeless and Mary Volm has a “genuine interest in helping the homeless/disadvantaged”? That isn’t actually saying much of anything. I don’t think there is anyone on city council right now that doesn’t want to help the homeless/disadvantaged, Randy Leonard wants to help them by building more toilets, Salty wants to build Chicago style public housing for them a block from my house*. So the real question isn’t a question of desire but of methods, and we don’t yet know that about Mary Volm.
*Don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to the “public housing” bit, I’ve got plenty of it a block in the other direction and I knew that when I bought the place. What I’m opposed to is the “Chicago style” bit. The giant inwardly focused buildings that are not linked to the neighborhood at large? Not my thing. The gangs love it, it makes great, easy to defend turf. Of course, if Portland is invaded and we engage in block to block resistance, I’ll be hanging out in that complex with a rifle myself. But still, I think that the project isn’t the right thing for the neighborhood. (See, more talking about myself.)
Speaking of which, how would Mary Volm respond if Portland was invaded? Would she cooperate with the new government in the hopes of staying in power, or would she fight them until they left, or does it depend, (it always depends, but which was does she lean?) Me personally, if it was the Japan looking for cheap timber I’d have no problems fighting to the death, but if it is Japan forcing us to comply with climate change regulations, I’d be ratting out the people down the street with the Hummer. (How would I know which reason they’d invaded us for? Their actions would speak louder than their words, I think the Iraqis saw that: When we invaded we didn’t automatically seek to keep order, we defended the oil infrastructure. We said we were there to free them from Saddam, but they could tell that wasn’t the truth.)

Queen B*tch Bang – Did you check out that pic of Mary Volm, though? She looks like she’s all, “C’mere you! RAWR!” That’s certainly something.
A little like Catwoman?
If we manage to reach 1,000 comments, I can use this in a proposal to my bosses at Waggener Edstrom. Can you help me out? 1,000 comments or bust.
That picture of Mary Volm is just BEGGING to be photoshopped, ROM. Don’t cha think?
It is. I bet she’d be all like, “You know you want to photoshop me, ROM. Just a little bitsy? C’MERE YOU RAAAAAAAAAAWR!”
@ROM: http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=29631…
Where’s her cowl?
I’m coming to Portland for NYE, can we get the camera crews and media circus to greet me at Union Station? I’ll wear big sunglasses and hang my head in shame as they cart me away for copying and pasting on the internet.

That’s comedy gold, right there.
Alexjon –
My camera is being shipped back to the factory for service and may not be back by NYE, otherwise I would gladly provide you with a crew for your circus.

I am begging the whole public and The Portland Mercury to please help me get my personal information I never provided deleted from this blog. The facts are that the user-profiler Graham first insulted me December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm, Graham first posted my full name December 10th, 2009 at 8:16am (I had previously only had provided my first name to this blog and I never provided my full name) and December 10, 2009 at 2:32pm Graham first posted six web links about myself which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt all without my consent. I’ve contacted The Portland Mercury December December 10-12, 14-16th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. I also filed a police incident report December 15, 2009. This is a civil matter and that is all the police can do now at the moment.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic as well as any comments that aren’t about Mary Volm.
The outside danger is that the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about me will make it easier for me to be threatened, spammed by internet bullies, cyber stalkers and those who are looking to steal someone’s identity. This blog has created an easy access to my personal life of my full name and six web links, without my consent so an outsider entering this blog could maliciously use that information.

8 days later and she’s still at it. She just can’t stop staring at her own car wreck.
Well Bob, we’ll just have to use our imaginations, won’t we?
I shall blog about this…On the 28th. At which point: fame! Fame for whatserface who doesn’t want to talk about herself and yet for some reason is compelled to do so!
I’d make a correction that includes a quote of what I was referring to in my last reply, but that’s far too much work and I’m headed to the gym anyway.
Besides, it stands up well on its own.
You know QBB, that’s a fantastic idea. The shape the discussion has taken over in Questionland is indeed heading that way, and has been on my mind lately: at what point does the Merc actually feel that it needs to step in?

Awright.
@zzzzzzz: “If “The Portland Mercury” cares about the poor and marginalized with a lot of written reports written about their quest for social justice, please help me regain my privacy as a poor person.”
As has been mentioned previously, your full name and your great aunt’s obituary aren’t actually private information, they were found with very simple Google searches. If Google knows them, then yet another website listing them isn’t actually a real problem at all. However, I can see why some people may want them removed from various sites. So what you are asking for is technically called a “favor,” you want them to do something for you, not because they have to, but because it would be a nice thing for them to do.
Keep in mind that the odds of you getting that favor vary considerably depending on the situation. If I’m eating at someone else’s house, and I “want” a glass of wine, I may or may not get it: If the bottle is already open and I have a wine glass in front of me, the odds are very high, (especially if I just pour it myself.) If the bottle is empty and I want them to open another bottle, it depends on how late in the evening it is, but it probably won’t hurt to ask. If nobody else at the table is drinking, (for instance, cause it is breakfast, although with some of my friends that wouldn’t stop them,) the odds are much lower, but it isn’t impossible. On the other hand, if the people are recovering alcoholics, the odds of me getting it are not only zero, just the act of asking may not get me invited back. And then there is “I want a pony.” I have no hope of actually getting one, and even if I did get one, I don’t have a place to keep it, and so while I might joke about it, I don’t mention it in serious conversation since nobody I know has any intention of getting me one and they know that I know that. If I did mention it in a serious manor in serious conversation, they might (rightly) question my mental health since I don’t seem to be functioning in reality. As such, just because you want a favor doesn’t mean I’ll get it, and there are various degrees of that…
Anyways, the reason I bring this up is because, in future, (since it is too late to change the past,) when you are asking for a favor, sending a polite e-mail or calling, (once,) is like asking them to open another bottle. They might do it, if it isn’t too much trouble. Asking for “restorative justice” is like asking the recovering alcoholics for wine, it will not happen. Telling everyone you know to contact them and repeating the request over and over again is like standing on the table and demanding a pony. You get upset when I point out what happens then, but that isn’t because it isn’t true. However, threatening to sue them, (or worse yet, actually suing,) is much worse than any of those examples I listed above. It is more like asking for blood and then biting them on the neck to get it; it tends to result in unpleasant consequences for you, (like being told to pay our attorney fees.)
Oh MY! Do I have some reading to do! Regrettably, I was gone all day and am now just getting here. Please forgive me Janelle. I have a life outside of your drama, contrary to what the voices tell you.
But what a welcome sight this is. My eyes are full of wonder. It’s as though I padded downstairs Christmas morning and saw a mountain of crazy beneath my batshit tree. I’ll join you all after I go through the day’s bounty. Thank you. Thank you all so much.
Holee crap. There is so much I want to reply to here. So, so much. Forgive me for multiple postings on previous subjects. I will try to keep each comment related to just one previous subject or quote, in an effort to make my posts more easily digested. I will do them in chronological order of the posts they relate to, except where noted.
@Janelle C. Jeffries does not understand the law: “JANELLE THEY’RE USING YOUR NAME TO LIBEL YOU ON ANOTHER WEBSITE!!! THIS ONE IS RUN BY THE MERCURY TOO!!!”
Thank you for finding this, diligent reader. To borrow @Bob R.’s analogy, it is though the fog rolled in and a third vehicle has collided into this already burning wreckage. But they have a long way to go if they hope to compete with this thread. Ours has flares, decapitated bodies and smoke pouring from it.
I luvs you, supeena…
@Matthew D: “Question for the legal experts:
Is simply threatening to file a SLAPP suit enough to invoke the anti-SLAPP laws and make her pay our attorney costs, or does she actually have to file the suit before we can start raking up billable hours in the defense?”
Although I do not consider myself to be a “legal expert,” my chosen profession is in litigation. As such I have access to a little more information than what might turn up on Google searches. This issue has far too many caveats and variables to discuss effectively here. If you’d like to pursue this discussion further, it would behoove us to go to a more secluded forum, either online or via telephone. But I digress…
To give you the short answer, no. It would be extremely unlikely you would collect any monies from filing prematurely. Until an actual SLAPP case is filed against you, all that Miss Jeffries has done thus far is to issue a legal threat. Now, if she were to actually file, you could turn around a file a complaint against her complaint immediately. Whether she won her case or not, her action would still have demanded (in the eyes of the court) that you sought legal counsel in order to defend yourself.
In order to receive a financial reward in a suit, one has to demonstrate real damages. So far, you have incurred no damages, financially or emotionally. By seeking legal counsel prior to actual legal action in this particular case, you are taking a risk that the first party may never file, thus leaving you holding the legal fees bag. This would be different under different circumstances. If, for example, Miss Jeffries had a prior history of filing SLAPP lawsuits against blog commenters, this would lend credence to her legal threat.
Because the legal system moves at such a slow pace, you would have ample time to prepare yourself in the event a case were to actually be filed. No need to bother doing anything unless this situation develops further.
@Matthew D: “I think the reason she isn’t going to file until the 28th is because she expects to get money for Christmas or something, and then she’ll be able to afford a lawyer.”
Any lawyer who would take money from this woman in regards to this case would have to be extremely unscrupulous. After losing said case, I would advise Janelle to sue the lawyer for malpractice. That one she might possibly win.
And in case anyone is interested, I am already compiling a file of this thread and the materials it links to. If for any reason in the future anyone requires any of these materials, please do not hesitate to ask. Which brings us to the unfortunate truth, which is, even if the Mercury were to delete this entire thread, the original blog post and the complete contents of its entire site, this information has already been copied, notarized and stored for all eternity. Due to the threats of legal action Janelle has made against te Mercury and those who have actively participated in this discussion, it has become prudent to do so.
@Matthew D:”Telling everyone you know to contact them and repeating the request over and over again is like standing on the table and demanding a pony.”
My only regret is that I do not know the bar at which you all drink at. After reading this comment in its entirety, I would certainly buy the next round.
I admit the only reason I found this thread in the first place was due to third-hand information passed along to me days ago. I also admit that my opinion of the Mercury has increased ten-fold due to the fact that it has been careful enough to screen and remove comments it believes to be in violation of its policies, yet has not shut this thread down. It is refreshing to see any entity stand up for itself, and not fold due to pressure from “Internet Bullies” (that’s right Janelle, YOU are the bully here), simply out of fear of repercussion.
One final comment and then I will stop.
@Janelle C. Jeffries does not understand the law: “Where the fuck is Kiala and her awesome adult-to-5y.o. translating abilities?”
As a newcomer here, I am ignorant of who this refers to, but dying to find out. If you would be so kind as to point me towards further information regarding this individual, I would be delighted.
And I love you too, @Janelle C. Jeffries does not understand the law.
Y’know, seconded. Just because someone (and let’s massage the fuck out of the language on this one) clearly has issues of some sort that absolutely none of us are qualified to diagnose and must never, ever pretend that we understand…because that would presuppose our having some sort of empathy or something, anyway, just because somebody looks that way and acts that way…You know, damaged, doesn’t mean that they aren’t capable of aggression, and aren’t, in the end, every bit the bully (however inept) that they accuse everyone else of being.
“I also admit that my opinion of the Mercury has increased ten-fold due to the fact that it has been careful enough to screen and remove comments it believes to be in violation of its policies, yet has not shut this thread down.

supeena, I’m not sure how long you’ve been around here, but I think that most long-time posters might ascribe other motivations (if you can call them that) to the management . Lazy does not necessarily != clever.
@Janelle C. Jeffries does not understand the law: “Lazy does not necessarily != clever”
True, but in this case it very much = best show in town.
Actually, Janelle? You should sue Comcast. Were it’s programming half as decent as this thread, I’d be there instead of on here.
Wow. 800 is so close I can see the little hairs inside its nose.

I am begging the whole public and The Portland Mercury to please help me get my personal information I never provided deleted from this blog. The facts are that the user-profiler Graham first insulted me December 8th, 2009 at 2:19pm, Graham first posted my full name December 10th, 2009 at 8:16am (I had previously only had provided my first name to this blog and I never provided my full name) and December 10, 2009 at 2:32pm Graham first posted six web links about myself which included an obituary of my Grand Aunt all without my consent. I’ve contacted The Portland Mercury December December 10-12, 14-16th 2009 and they refuse to delete those posts. I also filed a police incident report December 15, 2009. This is a civil matter and that is all the police can do now at the moment.
Tell The Portland Mercury that they need to be responsible for the posts of the Blog that they oversee and to delete all off topic comments (the three very options on their site to report comments). The Portland Mercury has three options (three different boxes to check) in their “Report this comment” function of: 1. Off topic, 2. Threatening, 3. Spam. What I am saying here, is all the posts that have my full name and the six web links about me, are clearly: 1. Off topic as well as any comments that aren’t about Mary Volm.
The outside danger is that the people who posted my full name and six Internet web links about me will make it easier for me to be threatened, spammed by internet bullies, cyber stalkers and those who are looking to steal someone’s identity. This blog has created an easy access to my personal life of my full name and six web links, without my consent so an outsider entering this blog could maliciously use that information.

Oh, no, wait, I lied. I found yet another previous post to comment on. There are many gems I missed by arriving in the theater after the credits rolled on this horror movie…
@zzzzzzz:“Repeating myself again, I will file a claim. People will know when I do that and will then know who my attorney is. Also, I’m going to stop repeating myself over and over here. It’s getting old.”
Janelle C. Jeffries, I call your bluff. Had you a lawyer of any sort, (or even a friend in law school), you would not be able to resist posting his/her full name and contact information right here, committing of course (say it with me, everybody!) rape on that person’s identity. Over the past week you have shown a total inability to keep your mouth shut.
You insist on posting the most intimate details of your life, although no one has asked you for any of this information. By posting all the details about your police report, you’ve invited everyone of your so-called tormentors to dig a bit deeper, so they can find out everything about you. You’ve stated your age, approximate birth date, school, area of study and GPA for chrissakes. All you’ve left out is your home address and the color of underwear you have on, although it would hardly surprise me if you blurted that out here by the time we hit 800.
As for your comment that repeating yourself has gotten old, certainly even you can see the humor in that in light of your spam campaign that followed.
Oh wait…I just saw the latest diatribe. BRB!
Dear Batshit Crazy Jane Doe,
Thank you so much for reposting the The Portland Mercury’s Guidelines and Terms of Use. Please be so kind as to point out how exactly anyone here has violated anything in these guidelines in the little world of your making you live in.
Thank you.
@Janelle: Once again, marked as spam x2.
“please help me regain my privacy as a poor person”
I don’t understand this. Do you think you get special or different rights to privacy as a “poor person”? Do you think that you’re the only one posting here that is technically “poor”?
You are not special, Janelle. If anyone of us hurled insults and threats like you did, we would be treated exactly the same way you have been treated in this comment thread. The animosity you are experiencing isn’t because you are poor, or a woman, or a rape victim, or mentally ill (if that, indeed, is the case). You are getting slammed because of your behavior towards others, and nothing else.
Most importantly, what does Mary Volm think about this?

I love you Bob R.
781!
Let’s change the subject. How about poetry? I found an interesting poem that would make for an interesting starting point. In the interest of not infringing copyright, I’m going to post a link and not cut’n’paste the poem itself.
http://www.streetroots.org/past_issues/200…
Page 5, upper right quadrant of the page.
I love you too, Can I haz a subpeena?.
And I love poetry. Who doesn’t? I wrote a poem too. Want to read it?
WHEN CRAZY AND CYBERSPACE COLLIDE
By Candice I. Hazasupeena
My fingers are pounding, commenting for you
I might not make it to the 800 mark tonight
I hear there’s trolls under that bridge
Right now, I only see we are at 783
This will be a roller coaster ride of psychological dementia
The shrill cry of the crazed idiot TYPING IN ALL CAPS
Tells me this will be the worst thing that ever happened to me
I’m attacked by rapists only I can see
I take great pride in announcing whenever possible
I’m always below the US federal poverty line
I’m constantly judged
Just because your tax dollars paid for my education
Thank you Oregon Opportunity Grants
I want to be that person who gets continually
Harassed in an Internet blog thread
I want to be the first ever post to reach 1000
Chock-full with all the conspiracies against me
The voices in my head tell me
I want to make a mockery of poor Mary’s campaign
Every Mercury reader will know my name
By copying, pasting, posting, reposting — utter nonsense
No worries in the land of make believe I occupy
Into the future, riding on Internet 6
Oh, you bad, supeena. You bad!
@supeena: Kiala is here:
http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/Pr…
We totally need her on this thread, although I’m not sure if she knows of it’s existence.
We also need Mary Volm to comment on this thread. Did you know on her website it links to news stories about her, but it doesn’t link to this one? I don’t suppose anyone would have a guess as to why, would they? Does she not know that the Mercury did a story on her?
Possibly not. A Google search of “Mary Volm” ranks this article ninth, after her Facebook page, her ZoomInfo page, and a Portland Business Journal mention, among others. The Mercury’s own coverage of Mary’s “limo incident” comes up in the number two spot. That is just sad.
Please, keep your comments on topic, lest this thread fall by the wayside in the big world of Mary Volm’s career. Remember, that although Janelle is the reason we stayed, if it weren’t for Mary Volm, we’d have never made it this far.
Perhaps someone could forward this link to Mary Volm’s staff. Certainly she would want to participate here.
Ooooh, 788! And we’re barely even trying now! Do it for Mary Volm! Do it for Janelle! Do it for every poor wretched psychopath who has ever gone onto the Internet and started trashtalking!

Septimus…Figure eight…Niner!
Whoops. Pardon that. Just woke up.
As you can see, someone made a six z (zzzzzz) user-profile ID using my poster image today, December 17, 2009. I just want to point out again that I only have one user-profile ID with seven z’s (zzzzzzz). I do which to thank the six z (zzzzzz) for advocating on my behalf. I do not know who the six z (zzzzzz) person is, but thank you.
Correction: I do wish to thank the six z (zzzzzz) for advocating on my behalf; I do not know who the six z (zzzzzz) person is, but thank you. (I’m doing this for the professional yellow journalists who want to make sure I correct any and all typos.)
BTW: To correct a libelous statement, my education at Marylhurst University was not paid for by taxpayers or Federal grants.

Thank you, I hope you will help by contacting The Portland Mercury. I sincerely thank you for advocating on my behalf.
You’re welcome.
You should all be ashamed of yourself! Can’t you see that this woman is really upset by your actions? Don’t you have any decency in you? If you don’t agree with her just leave her alone!!!! She has been through so much already. My heart goes out to her. I hope the Mercury will do the right thing and banish every one who posted mean things about zzzzzzz from ever posting here again!!!
Dear “Concerned Readers” … did you know that the Mercury’s profile system automatically fills in a random status for you? Currently, you are listed as “Sipping 10 year old single malt irish whiskey.”
That’s libel, unless you are a genuine lush and drink whiskey during work hours (or are unemployed).
The Mercury is dishing out Yellow Journalism on you at this very moment, using insidiously complex automatic libeling software.
Sue them!
I claim a 30% commission from your proceeds for hatching this helpful idea. (But assume none of your inevitable losses, you drunkard.)
You are all sick!!! Sick! Sick! Sick! You take something wonderful as our 1st amendmant rights and pervert it here because you have nothing better to do! All of you keep tormenting zzzzzzz and you think that it’s funny. While it’s not funny at all! She is a human being and deserves respect!!!
Mmmmm… okay.
“She is a human being and deserves respect!!!”
She deserves the same amount of respect for being human as accorded to any other individual. This respect is a two-way street, and can be lost of not maintained. In Janelle’s case, maintaining that respect requires a degree of logical consistency and rational argument which has not been demonstrated, as well as the fact that Janelle has never acknowledged or explained any of her false statements and accusations in this thread.
Fun is fun, but 800 comments is more than enough. We’re closing up shop on this post in hopes you all will have a peaceful holiday season.
