At about 1:50 pm on Monday, 1/24, we received a "comment" in response to an article published by our staff writer Dick Schaefer on 1/17/2011. Dick's article may be found by clicking on "Commissioner Lairmore Slams Struggling Unemployed".
Normally it is the practice of Hermann Hearsay to address all comments under the posted article where they are received. Normally the staff writer who publishes the story answers all comments received. This particular comment, however, deserves our special attention and treatment. It deserves special treatment, because this is the first time in 1,549 postings since we first began back on 7/5/2009 that we cannot responsibly and in good conscience publish a comment from one of our readers. Because of this it falls to me to provide an answer as to why this comment will not be published.
The comment came into us from one "Joe Citizen". While we cannot be absolutely certain, we believe this to be a fictitious name. Joe's comment accused an upstanding Hermann citizen of financial wrongdoing. Specifically, Joe accused an upstanding Hermann citizen of having committed fraud against the State of Missouri. Joe's allegation is very, very serious and hence deserves special treatment by the Editor of Hermann Hearsay. That's me, Joe.
- Your allegation against an upstanding Hermann citizen is baseless, unfounded, unproven, malicious and libelous. Other than that it contained no spelling errors and just a few grammatical errors. Joe, you dumbass, we don't repeat and amplify angry lies here on Hermann Hearsay.
- Your allegation was general in nature. You did not provide details about: (a) the time period during which the alleged wrongdoing took place, (b) the exact amount of money involved, nor (c) the source of your information. Because of this lack of specificity, we believe you don't know what the hell you're talking about. If you want to make such an allegation, come to us with more specifics. Prove what you are saying, Joe ..... or crawl back into the dark hole from which you have emerged.
- We can't prove it ... yet, but we think we know who you are. We think you have a personal grudge against the person you are accusing. Joe, we think you are a spineless, gutless worm who hides behind a fictitious name in order to spread your angry lies. Joe, we think you and your associates will be outed in the due course of time.
Joe, you now have the distinction of being the FIRST commenter to have his comment rejected by Hermann Hearsay. To what mailing address shall I send your "Certificate of Award".

I sure would like to see what this guy is alleging, but I understand that you cannot publish every allegation by every crank in the county! I doubt that this hatchet man will return to the site. As Forrest Gump's mother always said "Stupid is as stupid does."
ReplyDelete"Joe Citizen" eh?! Probably "Madman" or "A. Nonymous" reincarnated!
ReplyDeleteSounds like somebody wants to go fishing but doesn't have the balls to get his hook wet! Come on little man don't be a dickhead,I like numbers and facts. Cletus
ReplyDeleteHoly Non-Satire Batman!!!
ReplyDeleteYour allegation was general in nature. You did not provide details about: (a) the time period during which the alleged wrongdoing took place, (b) the exact amount of money involved, nor (c) the source of your information. Because of this lack of specificity, we believe you don't know what the hell you're talking about. If you want to make such an allegation, come to us with more specifics. Prove what you are saying, Joe ..... or crawl back into the dark hole from which you have emerged.
ReplyDeleteMy response is,"Jimmy, I thought you were supposed to be a reporter. That means you take a tip,like this one, investigate and report on it. So are you in fact a reporter, or a fraud? Do your job. Or admit you're just a political pawn". Which are you?
Now you listen to me, "Joe" (or whoever you are), I choose the stories I publish on this site with great care. We have investigated your wild allegations, and we find no evidence whatsoever that what you are saying is true. On the contrary, we find an abundance of evidence that the person who you are accusing of fraud is innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever and that he is on excellent terms with the State of Missouri's Division of Employment.
ReplyDeleteYou are a pathetic, bold-faced liar with a personal vendetta, "Joe". And what's more, you aren't really very imaginative. You provide us with a broad accusation, but you don't give us any facts which are believable. You can't do any better than that, "Joe"?
You ask us to report on your lies. I'm not going to do that! Take your unsubstantiated allegations to that online "news" site across town. Maybe they will publish your trash. I understand they are anxious to increase their page views. Your story would certainly attract readers. But defamation lawsuits can get very expensive!
I don't have time to waste on you, "Joe". You have nothing. You know it, and I know it!

Where has "Joey" gone? I hope he hasn't taken his marbles and gone home! He's a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing that Joe's little group doesn't know everything. Can't wait til the good ole boys find out who they're rubbing up to! HAHAHA to you<<>>>
ReplyDeleteYa can dish it out, but you can't take it. And knock off the self written fake responses, you sound retarded. Act like a man, if you can manage that! Not some lame wuss of a kid.
ReplyDeleteNow there you go again, Joey boy! Lots of loud angry bombast .... but absolutely no proof or substantiation of your accusations against an upstanding Hermann citizen. You boys may intimidate other people down there in Owensville but your stinky crap will not work with me nor any other Hermann citizen!
ReplyDeleteYou should act like a man, Joey boy! Man up and tell us all who you are as well as your source of information for the false accusations you're making against a Hermann citizen. You won't do it, because you can't do it! You are a liar, pure and simple!
Get off my blog site, little boy!

Joe,
ReplyDeleteJust remember this: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." (9th Commandment)
God be with you, my son!
Rev. A. Nonymous
My My Dick.... first you edit me, then call me names, Owensville?? you're about 12 miles off....but that's not the point. The point here, is your Hypocrisy.... You ask me to name myself, as you write under yet another fake name! You're Richard Schaefer!! Then, like some kid... you find it fine to attack and insult me, but, it's ok for you to attack and insult everyone else you don't like in Hermann or elsewhere. You started it, you sir, are the Bully, albeit a wimpy one who runs and whines and hides when the victim hits back!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it you place yourself above everyone else? You want to be treated decent, then try doing it yourself. You are doing exactly what you are attacking me for. How do you like it?? The way you're whining, not much i'd assume. So why the two faced, double tier system here??? Play fair, or deal with the equal reaction back at ya.... you want to dish it, expect it back. That's how big boys play. See ya , Dick
Dear Joey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for confirming your identity to me!
Figured you to be one of three or four people down that way! You've narrowed it down for me a bit further. Why are you afraid to identify yourself and tie yourself to the lie you are spreading!
Yep, here at Hermann Hearsay we edit/moderate comments which attempt to spread unfounded rumors and outright lies about other people. We'll do it everytime!
You have intentionly turned this discussion away from why you can't provide credible proof against the person you are accusing. You won't tell us the source of your information. And you hide behind a fictitious name when you make your malicious, false accusations. Joey, ol' boy, you are the bully! You are the wimp! You are the gutless little coward! And you need to be told all this by someone. I am just trying to get you to recognize your personal shortcomings and to stop maligning innocent people with your false and harmful rumors! I am simply confronting you. No whining here, Joey!
By the way, Joey, you ain't no BIG BOY! You think you are, but you're just a pathetic, vindictive little rumor monger.
You don't have your facts correct, Joey. I KNOW THAT, BECAUSE I HAVE CHECKED OUT YOUR FALSE RUMOR. YOU HAVE NOTHING. YOU ARE WRONG. AND IF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES PERSIST, YOU JUST MIGHT FIND YOURSELF IN A COURTROOM ANSWERING A DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER LAWSUIT. I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY TO THE FACT THAT YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES HAVING BEEN MALICIOUSLY SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION WHICH IS NOT AND BY LAW SHOULD NOT BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE STANDING READY TO PROVIDE SWORN TESTIMONY. DON'T GET TIED INTO A POSSIBLE FUTURE LEGAL ACTION!
I'm tired of wasting my time with you, Joey. Any further comments from you will be ignored.
