@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:

"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.
104
@Enough already

She likes Matisyahu. That's a deal breaker right away.
105
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.
106
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!
107
That's an awfully big 'if'.
108
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...
109
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.
110
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?
111
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?

112
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.
113
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?
114
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?
115
"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.
116
@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

"Libel is the act of publishing statements known to be false, which injure or have significant potential to injure their subject on a personal or financial basis"

118
"I'm sorry you can't read very well. Try Hooked on Phonics."

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).
119
@ 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.”
120
@Janelle

Do it. Sue everyone.
121
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!
122
@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.)
123
@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.
124
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?
125
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.
126
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.
127
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.
128
Janelle -- you didn't answer Oddly Inconsistent's question; you just reposted comments from other people.
129
"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?
130
"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:

131
@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.
132
@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…
133
@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.)
134
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.
135
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.
136
"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.
137
"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.
138
Please. "You've been poisoned"
139
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.
140
@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.
141
GOOGLE JOHN GALT
142
@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 50x50.) 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.
143
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.
144
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.
145
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.
146
"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?
147
"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?
148
@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.
149
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.
150
@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.
151
Janelle, you've already changed your name once in this thread. Is the process really so mystifying to you?
152
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.
153
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.
154
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
155
@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.
156
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?
157
@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.
158
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!!
159
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.
160
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.
161
Rape is like having your name used without permission? I personally remember it a lot differently. You should be ashamed of yourself.
162
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.
163
Is there a Rape Corollary to Godwin's Law?
164
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?
165
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.
166
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.
167
@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'.
169
"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).
170
Graham was the first commenter who provided my full name to this blog, against my will.
171
Google--I am not a liar. Read all the comments. I have no energy to deal with you, obviously someone who is against truth.
172
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.
173
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.
174
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?
176
@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."
177
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.
178
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.
179
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.
180
And you have further confirmed that you have a poor command of language, o Lady Who Must Not Be Named.
181
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.
182
@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.
183
@ 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.
184
As a woman, who has been raped, I will use that term to discribe my invasion of privacy as it is a rape.
185
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.
186
"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.
187
@Janelle Jeffries: In case you honestly didn't know that "cracker" is a ethnic perjorative against whites... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejo…)
188
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.
189
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!"
190
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.
191
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.
192
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.
193
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?
194
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.
195
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.
196
"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?
197
@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.
198
"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.
199
Urbanally?
