When someone is anonymous and you call him a name you are just pissing in a rainstorm. When you specifically call someone a liar in public but can't back it up you need to be prepared to accept the full consequences of your actions. Its a very important line that only the very stupid or very wealthy cross.
I personally think folks like Jumpy are swell people with great life experience afflicted by having a two by four repeatedly inserted by their former employer so they tend to overreact and get dog whistle dumb to new ideas or even clearly explained facts. With right wing bloggers it's seems to always attack the messenger, fear of "MSM", toss a few insults and then hide behind the flag, tell people that disagree with them that they are not patriotic, then when things are slow find some other retards to march around the room waving their limp penis' while singing God Bless America.
Then when their Mom needs the phone line they plot and dream about somebody else to do the same thing to all over again.
It might be a function of PTSD or it may be perfectly curable lack of social skills. In any case, there are plenty of blogs that are funny, interesting, newsworthy or original and none of them really need to be attacking people to be interesting.
Jumper we love you man but once in a while cast a critical eye on the dross that passes for "patriotic" but is just a bunch of old farts blowing the froth off their PBR
please mister mister, don't stick your lawyers on me for not agreeing with you.......please spare me? Ahhhhh!!!!--pffft

she's not the first person to show up trying to get BFCers to read your blog

I have no idea what a 'milblogger' is, but given that our new friend Susan is one(?), I'm thinking it's a euphemism for 'bored housewife who likes men in uniform'...maybe I could have my mind changed if I read her blog, but that one circle-jerk post over the original offender, and her posts on these forums don't convince me that it's worth my time; she's not the first person to show up trying to get BFCers to read your blog, and make (presumably moderated) comments to create the illusion of activity, but at least she's not throwing links in our faces like some people did.
Whether or not it's libel, I feel that the Kurt maxim of 'don't say you'll call the lawyers, just call the lawyers' probably applies here, and actually talking to the guy via email wasn't the best idea. I don't really care how this turns out, but I'm glad 'old blue' hasn't shown up here to defend himself, he has a really obnoxious writing style. I get my AMERICA FUCK YEAH slanted news from Jumper and Michael Yon, and that's really all I can handle. To me, bloggers are like kittens...you only let the cute ones grow up, the rest you drown--none of these blogs seem to have big and watery enough eyes.
All that being said, I don't have the balls to put my name in print, and probably never will. As far as my opinion on the crap being debated goes, who's surprised about alcohol on a military base, skulls on a helicopter, soldiers viewing breaking things and hurting people as a 'fun opportunity', ranking officers acting arrogant, a US military endeavor on the ass-end of the world being a disorganized pile of crap, and a few underpaid, overworked, and idealistic American soldiers doing their best to keep it together?
But yeah, keep defending Pelty, the guy threatening bloggers with legal action because they didn't like his article on HTS.
