Who is this guy and why is he trying to be my pen pal?

Seriously. First, he writes to tell me that Huntmasters is a bunch of bullies. BULLIES, mind you!

Then, he writes and complains about some PM hunt that he was disinvited to, after attending. What? Maybe in Wyoming?

I get a certain amount of crank mail, but this guy has me curious.

He seems like a nice enough guy. He used to post over at PM a lot (I don't know if he still does). He had some family problems, which I remember he vented about over there.

I don't know why he would try to be friendly with you out of the blue. Maybe he is having problems at PM?
 
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 16, 2011, 11:35 AM:
 
Okay, thanks. At least he is a "real" person, as opposed to some of these guys that hide behind a fake name and an untraceable email account.

His motivation is unclear to me?

Not sure of his motivations, but he is real. And I'm sure I would be listed as one the bullies. [Big Grin]

Okay, we can give him a temporary pass and see if his contributions are the equal of TA.

I know Casey...

Not sure what is going on but I have known him for many years and never had any problems with him at all. I think a lot of fellas from PM have become more and more disenchanted.

Well then, aside from his negative opinion of our membership, why would he bother me with his PM problems? I can't do anything for him, not even hold his hand.

If he's okay, he should be a little more candid. I don't know what his purpose might be?

PS weze not bullies.

Can someone tell me? Who on this site has been bullied? Are we refering to that fucking asshole TA or did I miss a bunch of bullying? Seriously. who are these people who have time to piss and moan about bullying but dont have time to for a little due diligence in these matters? Grow a set or shut the fuck up! Of course I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Dont know em, but have seen him around the forums. I believe he does live in Wyoming. Dont know why he would be pullin your chain LB. Then again, I have recieved lots of emails complaining about Huntmasters, wanting to shut it down etc, signed by guys I know did not write them, so it may be bogus?
The last one I got was an email wanting me to partcipate in a boycott of HM untill TA was banished. Anyone else get that one?

Posted by JD (Member # 768) on April 16, 2011, 08:34 PM:
 
A boycott? That's funny. I'm sure he's a great guy, I shouldn't bully him or I'll be the subject of the next boycott. lol

Can't & won't speculate as to what your correspondence was about?
 
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 16, 2011, 09:17 PM:
 
Good luck convincing management to shut down Huntmasters because somebody picks on Tim Anderson. Personally, i think he did not deserve all he got, but on the other hand, i don't visit other boards, so i'm not all that informed, as to his transgressions, real or imagined.

The problem, if it is a problem, is with policy here, which is no supervision, moderating, editing and deleting content. I will not use my tools to modify posts by members. I will jump in and actively engage those involved in arguing when I think it is getting out of hand, but all I use is my own words to counter what the meanies write. I recognize that for some individuals, that might be judged inadequate.

I "thought" Tim had a pretty thick skin, or I probably should have jumped to his defense a little sooner, because I don't like the bully culture any more than anyone else. However, I don't accept the charge, that our members are any more cruel than other sites. We don't allow the private message feature, which is where other sites allow bullying, but it's a dirty little secret. At least what we have is above board, so the hue and cry to shut us down over a couple instances is all they have, and it ain't much, considering volume etc.

So, it's my fault for treating these people like adults. I listen to all complaints and do what I can to please the most unreasonable and insecure among us. Believe it or not, complaints are very rare. So, a certain type of person instead writes, (anonymously yet) to Lone Howl about supposed injustices. I really don't get it?

All I know is I think very highly of our membership, they are the best of the best, as far as I'm concerned.

This is getting interesting.

I have information that Cal really did, although it was a long time ago.

I also got another message from Middleton and he now says that he likes Huntmasters. Apparently, he's reading along, with everybody else. He also filled me in a little bit on his PM problems.

But, then again, I got another email telling me that our members could be/might be unsympathetic....which I highly doubt.

I'm still not sure where I fit in, here?

Its funny how you remember certain individuals from over at pm. I don't remember him as being particularly caustic in demeaner, but more or less remember him as being one of the PC Rodney King types! You know, the kind that stands behind the skirts of the mods and asks 'why can't we all just get along????". This could explain his 'horror' at seeing how things are handled here. I also think I remember what 3Toes is talking about. It involved some claims made on the internet where the validity was questioned.
Anyway, there is your dissenting opinion Lb. Its up to cmiddleton now.

Now, I've heard from another anonymous emailer who claims to be a pal of middleton, offering insight and a link to something at PM? Maybe I will go there to get all knowed up as to what transpired in 2004?

But, as I said previously, he did apologize for the remark about Huntmaster bullies.

GH/LB

Oh PS! Heard from TA again, he said the site (ah shit, I forgot) Was it coyote hunter.net? Maybe? Anyway, he said John Denver followed him over there, probably to make sure he doesn't stink it up and to stand by, in case he does? I dunno?

CMiddleton,the name rings a bell with me as well.Now I could very well be full of shit on this but I think the guy used to live here in vegas. But has moved to Wyoming.And it seams to me that the guy was a lever puller out of local 12 here in Vegas. And I also think he knew a local caller here in vegas (Henderson Nevada) with the handle Crap shoot.And he used to post over on PM.
So if any of you guys that know this man is any of this stuff right or am I mixed up?
I guess PM's not that bad of a site,but the turn off for me was that they were a little to PC for me.And the other thing was all those fucking Fox Pro leg humpers would just piss me off to no end.I mean I know that Fox Pro has a good product,But I still went with the other brand.

Would the good folks at Huntmasters please consider doing some kind of a fundraiser for CM (Casey Middleton)? You see, his kid is a meth-head and owes his drug dealer some cold cash. Ya'all can donate calls (maybe an auction?) but better yet send greenback dollars. This dealer is losing patience so time is of the essence CM is Wyoming's premier coyote caller and would put TA17 to shame. No need to hire ADC professionals when you can call on CM. By Heck, CM also is in charge of the local BLM office and can close down public access whenever he feels. Please send your money to cmiddleton c/o Predatormasters.com Thanks in advance for your support.

Smithers,thats just what my wife says also. Or maybe it's tenacious and rarely right? Something like that. Anyway, I haven't had any dealings with Mr. Middleton for a long time and I hold no ill will towards him.
As for Coyotay, I don't think cmidd ever lived in Vegas. I could be wrong, but I think he's a Wyoming lifer.

CM lives in Wyoming and is an electrical contractor, mainly large building projects and mining operations.

Casey's daughter, Jenny, was/is ill and struggles to maintain her health... we had several auctions at PM to help with Jen's medical bills. I know because I'm the person that originally went to the PM Admn with the fundraising concept and then organised the call auctions.

I seem to remember a heated thread regarding a rancher wanting coyotes killed and conflict with Casey and the ADC guys. Not sure, just what I remember.

I'm wondering if this is really Casey emailing or someone pretending to be him? I certainly don't think Casey would ever directly ask for donations
 
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 18, 2011, 12:21 AM:
 
You stay up late, niko?

Who said this guy was asking for anything? Not of me, he didn't. #1, first email, he originally called us bullies. #2, he was grousing about the PM assholes in Wyoming. (his words) He never said anything to me, in three emails about money, for any reason?

So, PM people collected money for him; but that was before. Now, they are assholes. No good deed goes unpunished.

edit: based on my fine analysis of the link, just looking at spelling, there is no question that it is cmiddleton that has been writing emails to me. The question remains, why does he bother me with his problems?

and on the get together in WY this year something must of happened after the fact because it looks to me in that thread he had a good time as everyone looks to have had .

Waste of time, smithers. This type wouldn't send shit if there was a chance in hell of being discovered. Pussies. What ever happened to real men?

I had a confrontation right in front of the Golden Nugget, probably dozens of people witnessed this big dummy, who had been drinking, jump in my face. Later, when a cop on a bike was talking to him, I had two total strangers come up to me and ask if I was ex-service, and I said yeah, I was, and they said it showed, by the way I held my ground, while giving up 50 pounds, 30 years and 6" in height. I might get my ass kicked, but that asshole would have his work cut out for him. That's the problem with bullies. I'm old now, but at one time, I was nobody to mess with.

Anyway, beside the point, but who gives a shit about IP addresses? This type is a limp dicked wimp who has a lot to say as long as nobody knows who he is. I think it's disgusting, a grown man sending anonymous email. Shameful, but that's what we have these days, girly men in camo, no less!

Someone who can both give it, and take it. Most all is meant in good fun and you pay your dues by snarking back. Do you need to be a great hunter? No, we don't even talk about hunting all that much, and that's because most guys here have been hunting so much that they enjoy being able to converse about something else with like minded guys.

This place, as George pointed out, is like deer camp, or the get together fire in the desert, just without the fire. If you'd say it when within the reach of a fist, then you can say it here. If you wouldn't, then it's best kept to yourself. Pretty simple.

Just being honest and sincere in what you have to say is the main thing.

Registering multiple user names, making posts for no other reason than to start crap with other people when you think they don't know who you are etc. is the polar opposite of what this place is about.

For years I had heard about what a rough place Leonard's forum was until I finally started reading it. It wasn't a good time for me having just burned my bridges at PM... still everyone here seemed to understand and after giving me the honorary crap deserved from my time moderating at PM, I'm still here! Like Lance said, this place isn't always about hunting but it is a bunch of like minded hunters for the most part.

And this place is self policing most of the time. Thanks for allowing us all that freedom Leonard, I know it is a principal you believe in and it shows.

For those that don't know, sak and his son are the one's that got a special pas from Dillon when they violated the published rules. I thought, for sure, that Foxpro would realize the problems and discontinue the contest, but they didn't. Victor Carlson was the one that pointed out the fact that there was a team in the contest that only one member was registered but the son was racking up the coyotes. I don't think Vic cared who was the shooter, except that the father was the one entered in the contest while the son wasn't. I suppose it is a picky little detail, but the previous year there was a different picky little detail, how many fingers were held up and Little Stevie Wonder expected Foxpro to disqualify every animal that the photo did not show the right number of fingers or something like that?

So, it is easy to understand why Vic brought up the fact that sak's two man team wasn't entered in the contest properly. Foxpro blew it off by saying that team had an okay from Dillon and everything was hunky dory.

Subsequently, it appears to many on this board, that sak came in here with the sole purpose of screwing with AZ Hunter, which is Vic's handle. By extension, I suppose he thinks Huntmasters is guilt by association, thus the needle inserted every once in a while. And, this is a grown man coming up with little chickenshit comments whenever he feels the urge.

I could have shut him down and deleted his crap a long time ago, but I was hoping he would grow up. At this point, I just would like to see him go somewhere else. Is that too much to ask? I have a hell of a lot more respect for TA than this jerk, if that gives you an idea?

Hang on a min. Screwing with vic? I wasn't the one getting upset with the stupid foxpro contest. When I found out what all that was being said over here, I was only defending myself. How is what they (foxpro) decided on my fault? As far as Vic goes, no problems what so ever. Actually had a couple pm's with him on foxpro.

As far as the multi user names go. Not I. sak81 the son, of the father son team.

13 post an all neg? When I asked KJ about the relay it was because I had never heard of it. I ran track in high school,an was the third leg of a record setting 4x100m relay team.

I don't know what else to tell ya. As far as eaglerock goes. Maybe it was bad timing? That was about the time my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

You don't want me posting around here that's cool. The sun will still come up tomorrow.

I'm gonna type this mostly just cuz I'm in the mood.

I really don't give a rat's ass either way, but I think you may have the wrong opinion about sak. He IS the son and it was his dad, eaglerock, and some others from his camp that engaged Vic over the Foxpro fiasco. As far as I can recall, sak never made a nagative comment on the forum during the '09/10 contest. Can't speak to any PMs that may have been exchanged, but most of that dustup was between other members of sak's fan club and Vic. I say that because a lot of the grousing took place in my contest thread since that was where Vic made many of his comments about the bending of the rules.

I will say that some of sak's short posts, here and elsewhere, have seemed a bit snarky, but in my recollection haven't crossed any lines, and when his name first appeared, here and elsewhere, he was on my radar. Simple reason, guilt by association. Kinda like I was a crybaby in the contest since Vic was voicing his concerns in my thread. I did root for my fellow Arizonan to beat them in the contest because you'll never convince me that 2 guys hunt together all the time and only one of them ever pulls the trigger. I'd have to see that with my own eyes.

Like I said, I could care less, but just a little background from someone who was in the middle of it. Now, some of sak's running buds, I'd be right in line to pour gas on the fire.

Carry on.

In the meantime, I'm "holding on", and standing by. You have your chance to show us how misunderstood you are. The main thing is, I don't have an answer to your question, but I have a gut feeling that you don't fit in and don't want to fit in, and didn't expect an answer.

Sorry about confusing who's who, BTW.

edit: PS Jim, thanks for the information. I don't want to jump anybody that is completely misunderstood, but even if the guy never made a troll type of post in the past, the question in this thread is an attempt to be a smart ass. It would be difficult to convince me otherwise; but (sak) go ahead and try.

Jim- Sorry you feel that way but that's the way it went down. My dad does the filming, (when weather permits) and I do the shooting. We never hunt separate because that's what we do. I consider my dad my best friend, an as shitty as he came off on this site, he would give the shirt off his back at anytime, to anyone.

I guess that's what I meant in the what kind of man does it take post. I consider myself a kind, modest dude. An to get thrown under the bus like I did, from people who don't know me was bs. I guess maybe that's where I differ from the rest of the shit I have been reading on the net. Like someone said earlier, I don't come here to gain hunting experience. Well neither do I.

You have to have strong opinions, and more importantly you have to have the cojones to stand behind your opinions, regardless of what other people think or say here.

The program will not allow you to register, unless you provide an email address. How many times do I have to tell you?

It's your turn in the barrel, you started it. How else can I talk to you? I can't respond to your chickenshit anonymous email service, and you can't become a member without using a real email address which is needed to provide you with your password information. Now, I started out, completely neutral, but now, you are getting on my nerves. Quit bothering me with your petty bullshit and we won't talk about you. I'm starting to think you have a serious problem, not sure what, exactly?

Either register like everyone else, or find somewhere else to play games. Apparently you shit in your own mess kit over at PMS, so you need to find another board that will put up with your shit. Good luck with that, Amigo.

Paul I live in northern New Jersey, in a rural suburban town. I am not too far from Morristown, traveling via highway. I have been to the hospital there to follow up on fatal accidents, and DWI's involved in crashes.

The Iceman, who I am pretty sure had died in prison, was an organized crime "hit man." They did an HBO special on him years ago.

I dodged the bullet yesterday, twenty miles this side of Barstow. As you can imagine, Friday getaway, and I was idling along in the fast lane and an Audi was on my tail for several miles, so I signaled, pulled into the next lane and he went by. We had not gone a mile when we turned a bend and an overpass and my radar lit up. The CHP hastened to catch up, I kept going but the Audi was (suddenly) doing about 55 in the slow lane. Red lights behind me but he only wanted the Audi, (brand new, Nevada plate) I felt fortunate, my luck is holding.

From anytime Friday afternoon until midnight, the traffic headed to Vegas is doing at least 80 and once you give up the fast lane, nobody will let you back in so, just keep up with the flow. But, this was earlier, 12:30P.M. and they can pick whoever they want, and an Audi looks like it's going a lot faster that my pick up.

Don't tell me they don't discriminate. I used to have a red Suburban, total cop magnet.

TOTAL DISCRIMINATION, 49! They always discriminate, and don't get me worked up about how cops flash a badge and get a free pass, when they are the fastest speeders and the one's that ignore most traffic rules....GRRR! If there is one thing I give the CHP points for is that they ticket cops, and cops hate that! Privileged characters. I have never understood why they get off without getting wrote up and why they get pissed when the Highway Patrol doesn't acknowledge their "special" status. You know, they think they are EXEMPT from obeying traffic laws. The most chickenshit cops are the most fragrant & flagrant violators. What is it about those dickheads?

I have heard that about the California Highway Patrol Leonard. They do have a bad reputation with other California cops, as far as showing courtesy goes. The other CA cops over on Glocktalk pound them for it.

Personally, I don't have respect for any LEO who abuses his position. This type of behavior tends to eventually catch up with the offender though. I have seen other cops issued summonses and even arrested for various offenses, like DWI, domestic violence, etc. I have also seen quite a few guys (and some gals) lose their jobs for this type of behavior, as well as for other offenses. You know how it goes, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Anyhoo, this topic reminds me of the time I got stopped on I-17 in Arizona, while heading up to the Grand Canyon with Mrs. 49, who wasn't Mrs. 49 yet. I got stopped by an Arizona Trooper, who was older than me (probably my age now). I think he had me pegged for another cop immediately. The conversation led to my status in law enforcement in NJ, and he told me to leave my off duty weapon in the car and come back to his car with him (we don't do this in NJ). He had a Ford Mustang, with no back seat. On the back shelf he had his smokey bear hat (which he wasn't wearing) and a shotgun was in a mount behind the seats. Well, he gave me a whole ration of shit for my speed (77/65 I will never forget it). I thought "here we go" and figured I was going to get written or bonded. He ended up writing me a warning, and gave me some Arizona Highway Patrol key chains which I carried proudly for years until they deteriorated and broke. I also had the written warning hanging up in my locker at work for years. I changed lockers so many times, it eventually got stuffed in with all my other junk. I probably still have it someplace. So yes, the AZ Trooper showed me courtesy. Or maybe he would have written a warning anyway for the speed of 77/65? I don't know for sure. My take on it is, he recognized the car as a rental, thought "tourist" and figured there was a fat chance in hell of him having to go to court for it, and made the stop. He probably let me go cuz I was a fellow cop and he took a liking to me. Imagine that.

You will very rarely catch one of those guys wearing his campaign hat, 49. They almost always ride on the backseat deck. The DPS officers run the same types as any other force. Good ones on one end and dickheads on the other. The brotherhood may have played into your situation, but not necessarily. I have received nothing more than a verbal warning when I should have been handed a ticket, but have also been cut out of a line of traffic doing the speed limit in the right lane while traffic was passing in the left, and ticketed for not having splash guards on my pickup. As you can imagine, I showed this fine officer the utmost respect. I guess I should have told him that he neglected to to spot the 2 assault rifles, 2 shotguns, and sidearm that my passenger was wearing when he inspected the sticker on my door to confirm that my tires were not factory issue. He left my passenger inside the vehicle while he wrote me and had we been as evil as he thought we were for not having those splash guards, I doubt his vest or perfect hair would have saved him.

All cops here are pretty cool with guns. Unless you look like a gangbanger, the most they will do is make sure it is safe and put it on the roof or hood while they do business. After imforming a couple that I was packing, they asked if I was going to shoot them. When I said no, they told me to leave it where it was and went about their business without even asking for the weapon.

In the case of a scumbag, my PPD buddy likes to disassemble what he can when no detainable offense can be detected. If the rounds or a spring rolls off onto the ground, so be it.

Jim those campaign hats must be more of an inconvenience than the hats we have to wear. LOL. I can see why they wouldn't want to wear them.

I guess I had a pretty good guy stop me that day. This took place in the early nineties, so he is probably retired now. As far as the other guy you mentioned, with the spalsh guards, every department, agency, station, or whatever has a guy like that. Funny, these types are usually the last ones to show up at a hot call.

I've had pretty good luck with our HP, only ticket I ever got was for speeding (40 in a 25) but I was asleep and found a concrete bridge. The kind officer had the worst reputation then and had to write me something as I sat there bleeding in his car.

I've never had a problem with my guns, I tell em I have a CCP and if they ask anything at all, it's whatch'ya carrying? Never got a ticket when I deserved one and yes I've deserved plenty but I guess it's my winning personality that keeps me out of trouble...

Lying Asshole CHP gave me my first ticket, just outside Yucca Valley, for a stop sign violation. I had out of state tags too. I went to court about 4 different days for that. The last day, the pig bitch didn't show up and the judge through it out. I still remember her name too. Pisses me off that some might have to take 4 days off work to right a wrong against them by such a whore.

I remember a large groups of LEO's got upset after Katrina. They were coming home on I-95 and had the "Pedal to the metal". Some people thought that was such a gross, abuse of power, and such a disregard for the law was wrong. But it was OK since they were in a hurry to get home and all.

We got pulled over one night south of Gila Bend by a County Sheriff, possibly midnight, middle of nowhere. Three guys in the front seat, my truck, but my partner was driving. After listening to a bunch of "command presence" bullshit, I leaned forward and told the guy; Hey look, this is my truck and we weren't speeding.

He looked at me in amazement, and said, "are you sure about that?" I said absolutely, and the guy just cut it short and let us go. My buddy said, a couple minutes later, that he thought we were all going to jail for what I said.

I just have no patience for road bandits, either with or without badges. I can't distinguish the difference between her giving me a BS ticket when she knew I was right, or just taking my wallet and pulling out a couple C-notes and sending me on my way.

Even worse is with the ticket, you get points on your license, and higher insurance rates.

We have a little town (Tiny town) north of us called Curryville. It is near Mark Twain Lake. My poor brother got a BS ticket one morning there for speeding. He wasn't but that doesn't really matter, the jelly doughnut eating MF'r said he was. I suppose he could have taken off work and argued it with the judge. I think everyone is related up there.

I guess I should have more respect for the inbred Yuk-yuks up there. After all they do put their lives on the line everyday for us. <Sarcasm off now>

It wasn't meant to offend you. Actually the term Pig, originally was an unintentional pun. You may be the most honest LEO in the whole world. If so, I salute you. My best friend is an LEO. I don't hate all cops.

This is just one of the topics that gets me stoked up. I've seen that shield protect assholes. Who else can manhandle people, give compliance strikes, tune up people, etc... and get away with it? You know probably better than I, there are bullies with badges.

Joe Sixpack tries it, and I can defend myself. Barney Fife does it and I have to hold back. Heaven help the individual who looses composure. We all know what will happen next.

Anyway, she was totally wrong, she abused her power, and cause me some grief. My bosses weren't too happy about me taking time off to go to court. San Bernadino is a pretty big county and going to the courthouse is more than a few mile trip. Had the "lying dirtbag" actually came to court, I would venture to guess, her word against mine, who do you think would have prevailed?

Anyway, it's water under the bridge. Hell this was in 1983 I think. She's probably retired and drawing a big pension.

Well, they all aren't assholes. As I mentioned, (I think I mentioned it?) when driving up US93 to meet Dave and Scott last month, I got nailed by a county sheriff in an SUV doing 83 in a 70. Man, I was pissed and didn't conceal that fact, and I couldn't find a current proof of insurance and after looking everywhere for what seemed like 5 minutes, he said okay, let it go and left. I presume to run my license for warrants? Anyway, he came back in a couple minutes and handed me my license. I'm sure I had a dumb expression on my face, but he just said the speed limit here is 70, take it easy. At that point, I did something I have never done, in that situation, I stuck my hand out and shook his hand and said thanks. Never, ever did that before. Correction, yes I did, but I was in college at the time, almost forgot.

I have never seen that show, don't know what you guys are talking about.

But, I did watch the Iceman interviews. Ever since, I am very careful about looking through a peep hole. He said that you can look from the outside and saw a man approaching to look from the other side and when he put his eye to the glass, he shot him through the door.

But, he was like the BTK killer, got all weepy talking about his family and couldn't understand why they didn't visit. Deserved slow strangulation with a wire coat hanger. Too bad he died peacefully.

49,

This wasn't written about the po-po, but it applies to us as well:

'Tommy', by Rudyard Kipling

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!

Everybody whines about traffic stops, but tell me, 49, how many cars have you stopped for no damn reason at all, and just made up some wildass shit after you stopped them? Probably about as many as I have. And everybody talks about the cops' attitude, but what about the attitude they start out with towards the cop?

Same ol' same ol'. Nobody wants us around until the shit hits the fan, then they want us there most ricky tick.

My old sergeant used to say, you know how you can tell who the cop is? When everybody else is running away from the guy with the gun, the cop is the one running towards him.

They are just grousin'..about Tommy Atkins and you and me. No worries, mate.

That applies whether it's a law enforcement matter, a fire, or a sudden illness or injury for EMS. Spent the first fifteen years of adulthood wearing all three uniforms and you qickly learn that people only call 911 when the situation gets well beyond their ability to control it. Thus, while they're running for their lives going one way, you're running to save their lives going the other. At no time was this better illustrated than on 9-11 when we saw video footage of FDNY firefighter humping up those stairwells and into the Trade Center buildings with hose bundles and hand tools, charging to their deaths. Against all odds, they stood fast.

Cdog911,

Agreed! They were just ordinary people, people like you and me, who liked to eat pizza and drink beer, kick back and watch a football game, folks who stood in line at Walmart like we all do...and when the time came, they rose to the occasion, they rose to meet their destiny...they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things!

It's true that one bad apple doesn't spoil the whole barrel, but that one rotten POS sure does take the shine off.

Amid serious budget constraints that have led to a hiring freeze, little to no overtime, in general, an understaffed PD, we have 2 jackasses in the news right now. One who shot and killed somebody he possibly shouldn't have and was fired, but the city is still having to defend themselves in court. And another who was on paid administrative leave while his possible improper contact with another city employee was being investigated. While making use of the paid time off, he whacked 2 fingers off with a power saw and is now on paid sick leave, and the investigation won't resume until that's rectified. Coincidence?

If all LEOs were like Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, there wouldn't be much to bitch about, but when something happens like I described above about the douche w/the perfect hair and I make a comment about how busy he must stay writing that kind of tickets, WITH A SINCERE SMILE ON MY FACE, and he gives me his best Dirty Harry look and answers back "I'm a busy guy", the next cop I come into contact with is gonna have to get that taste out of my mouth before he gets a fair shake.

It's a tough job for good guys, IMO.

Nobody likes somebody writing citations, even our L.E. gets all upset when they flash the badge and it don't work, the CHP continues writing.

When you consider the fines, which are totally out of control, because communities are trying to balance the budget by writing more tickets and more expensive tickets. FINES ARE DOUBLE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE.

Then you have the insurance company crooks that are going to jack your rates for a violation, and it starts to get real expensive, when it might have beene a matter of opinion as to what happened, but who are they going to believe?

I have had tickets I deserved and I sure as hell have had tickets I didn't deserve. I was stopped one morning going to work. I had no clue what it was about? He said I didn't stop at the stop sign, and I said; "WHAT?" He was going north four blocks down the road. I was going south on a service road and making a left on the road he was on, to go south. Somehow, he was sure that I ran that sign, which is a block and a half from my house. It wasn't even a close call, I made a complete stop before turning left and traveling south towards him. And, I saw him, but so what? I always stop at that sign, there was nobody else on the road that morning and I wasn't in a particular rush. I STOP AT STOP SIGNS, ALWAYS. Guess what, didn't matter.

And, that guy probably still thinks he never made a bad stop ....

how many cars have you stopped for no damn reason at all

*But, present company excluded. You guys get a lot of shit all over town and even on the boards. I apologize, but you gentlemen need to understand how bitter people get when they are 99.9% honest law abiding citizens. That negative contact, and resulting attitude lasts a long time.

It also amazes me how some people think they are above the law. They shouldn't get ticketed by CHP because they have shields too.

Aw, hell. Tell ya what. I'll agree with you. I don't think cops should write traffic tickets or do traffic stops either. We just won't do any of that any more. People don't like getting stopped, and they don't like getting citations, and it makes them bitter, so to hell with it. We'll just go to domestics and burglaries and disturbances and robberies. And when that kid comes hauling ass down your street and runs over your dog or your kid, well, that's just a damn shame, and I'm really sorry about that, but we don't do speed enforcement any more, because nobody wants or deserves a ticket and it makes them bitter. And when that dude blows the red light cuz he's late for work and kills your wife or grandkids, well, like they say, shit happens, ya know? No sir, I'm sorry, we don't stop people who blow red lights or stop signs any more, we used to, mind you, but we found that stopping people or handing out tickets made them bitter, so we quit that, because it made them mad. And it left a long-lasting impression and made them negative about cops, so we quit it. Now nobody gets stopped, and nobody gets citations, so everybody loves us...or maybe they just hate us less. At least, some of them, the ones that think they are good folks if they don't murder or rob or rape and whatnot, they don't do anything really bad, just ignore or overlook or 'bend' the traffic laws. So it's all good now, right? You guys all love us now, right? Damn, that was easy to fix. I'm surprised Barack or AlGore didn't think of that. [Smile]

Get over yourselves, I'm an automotive electrician, I work on cop cars, ambulances and fire trucks when the city mechanics can't figure it out. Ya'll are damn glad to see me when I show up. Hell if your toilet backs up, I bet you're glad to see the plumber when he shows up too.

Give me a freakin break!

No disrespect to those who died on 9-11, civilians or otherwise. Doing incredible things in the face of overwhelming odds doesn't come from wearing a badge.

And yes I'm in a piss poor mood but I stayed nice as long as I could. Deal with it.

Some here sound like they are upset with the system.

Some sound as if they are upset with the attitudes of a few "bad apples."

Some are painting with a broad brush, and use generalized derogatory terms.

I will say this much...when you have 25 to 35 year old symbols of authority out there making motor vehicle stops there is going to be conflict. But as Del pointed out, traffic tickets save lives.

No one likes it when we get called to their home because they are arguing/fighting with their spouse. But we have to respond. They like it even less when we take one or both parties out of the house in handcuffs. Nobody likes to get locked up on a warrant because they neglected to pay a traffic ticket. Nobody likes to be told to get out of the lane when they stop IN the lane on an interstate highway to ask for directions. But it happens. Nobody likes when their freedom is taken away from them. Some people understand why this happens and some don't.

I know there are bad cops out there. Like
I said above I have seen them come and go. But by painting with a "broad brush," and using broad deragotory terms, we are putting all the LEO's in the same category. It's kinda like when people say that the members of Huntmasters are all bullies. You know...painting with a broad brush.

I won't lie to you guys. There are people out there who hate my guts for what I have had to do to them. The thing is, every single one of them put themselves in that position. I never once went out my door looking to ruin someones day. Heck, the people I dealt with caused their own days to be ruined. It wasn't my fault that some asshole lost his temper on Christmas Eve with his wife and stepson. It wasn't my fault that the wife called us. It wasn't my fault that the asshole didn't want to cooperate with 49. And it wasn't my fault that the guy couldn't control his temper and his hands with 49 and suffered the consequences. Yeah, he ruined my Christmas Eve. Too bad for him HE spent Christmas Eve in jail. I went home to my family. I am sure if you asked this guy he would tell you that 49 is the worst, meanest, most awful cop in the world. It's all relative. And believe me, he isn't the only one. But for every letter of complaint in my personnel file, I have ten, or maybe 20 letters of appreciation. People I have helped out over the years. Letters written by husbands of pregnant women I looked out for, grandmothers, grandfathers, sons, daughters, you name it. I have had mothers and fathers THANK me for arresting their children. You see, these people were smart enough to understand that the arrest of their (adult) child was the beginning of the road to recovery. Not all people get that.

I understand the independent thinking and even some of the resistance to authority on this site. I respect it in some ways, and I do expect some challenges. But this thread is now headed in the wrong direction.

That's my 2 cents.

Take it or leave it.

Okay, you guys. Don't start taking things personal. Honestly, it's not about two cops that like to hunt coyotes.

The both of you are a visible target where we can voice our frustrations at what WE CONSIDER INJUSTICE. For me, it is exclusively traffic stops, so I'm glad that Del has decided to quit bothering us. We don't drive any faster than the average policeman. In his personal vehicle, or in a cruiser.

First of all, most of these members (just a guess) probably have no record and have never been arrested, we tend to be honest taxpaying citizens who vote, rather than trailer park welfare wifebeaters.

Again, try not to take this stuff personal. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you gentlemen about your side of things. It gives us a little insight to what the other side thinks. And, I really believe that they think of it as "us versus them". The police culture is a closed society, for the most part.

Or, am I mistaken?

Well, brother Tom, I appreciate that you're in a piss poor mood, and that you stayed nice as long as you could, and I will deal with it, just like I deal with all the other shit that rolls my way all day on the job, but the truth is that if we all spent as much time on here saying what assholes automotive electricians are, and talking about the shitty attitudes they have and the shitty work that they do, and by the way, Tom, the spotlight on my less-than-2000 mile cruiser still doesn't fuckin' work, ya know, if automotive electricians did their damn jobs right and didn't endanger my safety because they were lazy or had bad attidudes or whatever, if as much time was spent on here saying what worthless pieces of shit automotive electricians are as is spent badmouthing cops, then maybe you'd have a different take on this, my friend. It seems to go on on this site ad infinitum, and as far as staying nice as long as you could, so far I've let poor 49 take the brunt of it, taking the shit and having to deal with it, because basically I'm a pretty laid back dude who prefers not to have to deal with shit at home after having dealt with it all day at work, too, but maybe I've been nice as long as I could, too, ya know? And maybe I'm in a piss poor mood too, ya know?

Special? We wish the fuck we weren't special. We wish y'all would spend more time trash talking the professions of the other members on this board, day in and day out, and give us a breather, but y'all seem to think we're special because all we hear are a bunch of whiney-ass stories about how the cop was mean to the guiltless poster, or was mean and gave him a ticket, or whatever. Where's the stories about the fuckin' electricians and plumbers who didn't show up on time, or made a mess, or were fucking incompetent or lazy or careless and left without really fixin' the problem, or overcharged me (you know, took too damn much money outa my pocket, kinda like that prick cop who wrote the ticket), or stole some shit while they were in my house, or leered at my wife or daughter?

See, Tom, I guess we aren't special after all. We can be in a piss poor mood and be nice as long as we can just like automotive electricians or anybody else. And by the way, I expect that you are a pretty damn good automotive electrician, so could you come fix that damn spotlight for me??? I'll share my donuts with you if you do! [Smile]

And you know what's really funny? I have a fairly strong anti-authoritarian streak in me. I became a cop late in life and tend to think of myself as a reluctant cop. Hell, I even used to have a 'Resist much. Obey little.' bumper sticker on my truck. But then I've read some Ed Abbey and Doug Peacock and Dick Marcinko, which didn't help any.

I always favored; "QUESTION AUTHORITY".

Because of the policies here, you sworn officers of the law get to see the unvarnished attitude of the average citizen. That's just the way it is, a lot of normal law abiding people don't like cops. And frankly, many believe that they are on a power trip.

You guys know this. That's why the cop culture is a closed society, us against them.

But Del, you bring up an excellent point. Those damned automotive electricians act like they are god! I have never seen such arrogance. And, they flash an ID and expect to get a discount on stuff just because they are such hot shit, walk on water and can fix anything. And, another thing, the prices! I can have bones set for less money than it costs to replace the switch in my friggin' spotlight! I don't get it?

Point is we all are human, we all have our stories and believe me, I charge 3 times as much as I'm worth. I hear it all the time. So do the plumbers, mechanics, doctors, lawyers, even the fry cooks at McDonalds...

49 is a good guy but don't tell him I said so, he just started off pushing the limits so to speak and I/we let him have it. He stood his ground, sized us up and decided we weren't that bad after all.

Now bring that spotlight over here and I'll take a look at it, then we'll go spotlight us some critters. Afterall we'll be in your car... [Big Grin]

Leonard,
The zone I used to work in had a fishing village in it. Back in the day, the 70's, it was notorious for drug smuggling. That's not such a problem anymore, but those commercial fishermen are an independent breed, and that can come out when a hurricane heads this way and they say they ain't evacuating. I understand that. When I worked that zone, I pretty much had an understanding with them. I would ride through occasionally, and they would wave, and I would wave, but we all understood - I wouldn't gratuitously fuck with them (chickenshit traffic stops, consensual encounters, etc), but if I had a call out there, I would come out there and take care of business. It was based on mutual respect.

My impression is that the folks on this board are pretty much the same, an independent lot that doesn't welcome unnecessary or unwanted intrusion into their lives. I think both 49 and myself are astute enough to discern that. And we know you guys are just venting, and that it's nothing personal. If we didn't like you guys and want to hang with y'all we would take it on down the road.

If I've hurt anybody's feelin's, I apologize.

Dammit! I knew I shoulda become a fireman! Everybody loves firemen, and they get to drive those big shiny red trucks (ain't that every little boys dream?!!). They don't have to scan the customers when they walk into a restaurant, or sit facing the door. They don't arrest anybody, and people don't try to shoot them. Besides, people say I look like a fireplug..I woulda been a natural!! (just keep the dogs away from me, ya know?)

They even have a 'hottie fireman calendar'...maybe I coulda been on it! Okay, so maybe that's a stretch (in more ways than one [Frown] ). [Well, maybe I coulda made the 'big lovin'' fireman's calendar, if they ever come out with one...]

Tom, you are right in that regard. I do have a nasty tendency to internalize, and I just told a co-worker yesterday when we were discussing life and death that I think mebbeso I might go to a stroke or a heart attack some day. I'm on blood pressure pills as it is. So you wanna go jacklighting outa my po-po car??? Hmmm. "Hey, sarge, I just found this critter over here that a)looks like it got hit by a car and needs to be euthanized, or b)is acting strangely and might be rabid...I better put it down. 10-04?" [Big Grin] You guys tell cop stories...cops tell I.A. stories. [Big Grin]

Leonard,
I don't think most people don't like cops, but I do think most people get scared during a traffic stop and everybody, and I mean everybody, hates getting a citation. I only write warnings, for a variety of reasons. The last traffic stop I made was a middle-aged lady who had her mother riding with her, and when I went back up to the car and she found out she was just getting a warning, she actually asked me if it would be ok if she kissed me...with her mom sitting right there!! When I stop someone, it's not because I think maybe possibly they coulda mighta committed a violation. If I stop them, it's because I got'em dead to rights. But my job is to educate them, to cause them to change their driving behavior so that everybody is safe and they obey the law, not write them some bigass ticket that is gonna keep them from paying the power bill or putting food on the table for their kids. Just stopping them generally has the desired effect, and then when I give them a warning instead of a ticket, not only are they educated, but they almost always leave happy. Everybody wins. They are more likely to re-elect my sheriff, I don't have to go to court on my day off, passing motorists become more careful...everybody wins. And that's the goal. Any other time I encounter people and I'm not on a call, they are almost always nice/friendly, and so am I. (And I don't think it's because they don't think I'm so funny-looking that I couldn't possibly really be a cop but just somebody who stayed at a Holiday Inn last nite.) By nature I'm a happy and playful kind of guy who likes to laugh and clown around, and as long as people will let me do that, I prefer to.

So tell me coppers (hope thats not politically incorrect) why are you so offended by someone calling you a pig? I'm serious here, is that like calling a black man a nigger or something?

My old sergeant, who was from the outskirts of Chicago, used to refer to the police as 'coppers' all the time. He was very old school.

I can only speak for myself, JD. It doesn't bother me, any more than 'the fuzz', or anything else. I've been called names so long that I've come to think my first name is 'mother'.

Others come from different backgrounds and different experiences, and various terms may offend them.

It appears to bother 49, so in the interest of civility I would not use it. Whenever I hear that particular term used, I think of the 60's and hippies and the riots and sit-ins and so forth.

Yeah, me too! I never use the word. Thinking about it, I don't have a colorful word for police officers? Oh, I use descriptive adjectives occasionally, sometimes nouns like prick, etc.

I'm convinced we have a couple of pretty good cops on this site. Gulp, what did I just say?

JD,
Yes, it kind of is. One of my Police buddies was once called a Pig by a black man. My buddy simply told him " Well when I take off my uniform tonite I won't be a pig, but You will ALWAYS be a Nigger". LOL
Now this was before the ignorant Police Chief decided to install those crazy video camera,s in all of the cruisers. I read in the news paper awhile back that our latest big mistake was when the Chief passed a new policy which makes it mandatory for all interrogations of suspects be video taped. Holy CRAP! We sure have some dandies making S.O.P. for the local Police department.

Rich, That's funny! I've never seen the need to use the name pig, it always seemed so hippyish or childish that I guess I never thought it carried much weight, kinda like calling someone a wiener, I would certainly never say anything derogatory to a cops face anyway but if I were going to I'm sure I could find something with a little more zing to it.

JD,
I don't know about YOUR area, but MY town seems to have quite a few more of those P word types that you mention. I have more respect for our County Sheriff deputies these days than I do for the city Police. It is a sad thing to watch our local P.D. go downhill the way it is.

Leonard,

No to being a vet. When I cleared high school I took a few steps towards looking into Uncle Sam's Misguided Children but that was it. Not joining is one of the regrets of my life.
 
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 27, 2011, 09:21 PM:
 
Well, that's an interesting attitude, >DEL<

i am a Vet and I think the experience was invaluable. Further, as with Israel, I think it would be a good idea if everybody served at least a minimum tour.

I am torn between thinking it was a complete waste of time, while being ordered around by idiots. And, learning that I can cope with extreme adversity.

Posted by DEL GUE (Member # 1526) on April 27, 2011, 09:35 PM:
 
Well, for Israel it's not so much a good idea as it is a necessity. When you're a small state surrounded by hostiles who have demonstrated repeatedly their inclinations towards violence, having your entire populus trained as soldiers can save your ass. Just as the old saying goes, every Marine a rifleman, in Israel it's every citizen a rifleman (or riflewoman). And then there's always Ziva, from N.C.I.S. Yummy!

As for compulsory military service here, I'm not so sure I'm so keen on that idea after seeing a lot of the shitbirds I deal with every day. Mebbeso it's better to have our military populated by people who aren't idiots and drug dealers and hoodrats and who want to be there and are there for the right reasons than introducing a bunch of scumbags and morons into it who will degrade both its effectiveness and its reputation. Not saying I'm right, but that's my opinion.

My father and most of my uncles were vets from WWII. My father played in the Philippines towards the end of the war, and credits the nukes for saving his ass. He was training to take and hold a southern Japanese island with a radar installation on it when the bombs were dropped. He was a grunt in the Army's 40th Infantry Division. My older bro retired as a sergeant from the Guard. My bro-in-law was in the navy and got to go play around the Vietnam A.O. for a bit.

You know, a couple folks have spoken in his behalf, so I don't want to get into what makes him tick, but it looks like he has some issues that need to be addressed?

He ain't getting anywhere by threatening me. In a streak of righteousness, I almost wound up owning that Okie board, were I not such a softie. I can do the same with his half of Wyoming, if he doesn't shut up. Soon.

And, by the way quit hijacking the thread! Were we not discussing coppers and why nobody likes them?

Yo, Leonard.

I just tried sending an email back to him at MonsterMulies. Apparently they do offer an email service where you can open an email account with them. We'll see what happens.

I'm kinda curious if we are really dealing with Middleton or not.

Guys, that's not cmiddleton making demands. I have dealt with him over at PM, and I have followed some of his other posts. That's not his style, nor his personality. cmiddleton isn't a trouble maker.

Okay, we have several opinions that this is a troll, not cmiddleton, at all.

Do you think, by now, with eight pages in this thread, that somebody close to him should have made him aware of it, and he would be more than eager to straighten us out?

So, where is he then?

Posted by 4949shooter (Member # 3530) on April 28, 2011, 01:47 PM:
 
Leonard,

I was contacted by someone close to middleton, and there is apparently more to the story. From what little I know, in conjunction with these latest out of character emails, I am certain the culprit is not cmiddleton himself.

For what it's worth, I don't want to see an innocent guy get blamed for something he didn't do.
 
Posted by DEL GUE (Member # 1526) on April 28, 2011, 01:48 PM:
 
Perhaps as useful a question is why is somebody trying to stir shit up using Middleton's name over here? Sounds like he pissed somebody off and they are engaging in a little identity theft, of sorts.

49,

Agreed. If Middleton wasn't making the posts or sending the emails, then we owe the real Middleton an apology, and it would be nice to find out who the real culprit is.

If you or the others are saying that it ain't Middleton, then I'll take y'alls word for it.

People up to lieutenants have tried to get me to go up to C.I.D. and become a detective, but I wouldn't like coming in to a desk full of cases. Besides, I may be an old dog, but I still like to rock and roll on a hot call. [Wink]

Sorry Leonard. In the cop world, there is always more to the story.

Anyhow, from what I am told, it wasn't middleton who wrote the emails. But, me being me, I like a little more justification when I say something and sign my name to it. When I saw those emails that don't sound like cmiddleton, the man, the myth, the legend, it confirmed it in my mind.

I think he posts on PM that he's the worst speller on the net and if I remember correctly, he is. And I personally don't give a shit if he's religious or not. I saw him pull the same crybaby shit at Predator Masters with me and the moderators there. If he thinks he's been wronged he will bitch and whine till he gets his way, or at least thinks he does.

See what I mean, see 49 in the wife beater next to you in that picture leonard? He's undercover, he's always watching and waiting to attack an innocent citizen or maybe he's just on vacation.....i dunno but I'd keep an eye on the both of em.

Ok, I confess. Glue was kind of a take off on 'the fuzz', you know, it sticks to you. Not sure if I'm the bad cop or good cop. I usually get stuck being the 'bad cop', mostly because I look the part and can act the part and my coworkers enjoy watching me drop into the mode. It ain't fair, but nobody ever promised me life was gonna be fair.

Or, this whole Middleton thing could have been a throw-down distractor perpetrated by Tim to preoccupy the bullies while he quietly made his return. [Razz]

Anyway, as for bro Middleton...the truth about him is about as elusive as d.b. cooper or the yeti. If this was a big deal to me or I was heavily invested in it, I'd run it down a la Fox Mulder until I found The Truth, because, like Fox always said, it's out there. But it ain't a big deal to me, and I'm rapidly starting to not give a shit, so I'm over it already.

Middleton, I apologize. Whoever sent me that email, Fuck You. There. I think that nicely covers all the bases... [Smile]

At any rate, I appreciate you providing some more to the story. I am not defending cmiddleton's honor, as I have said I don't want to see a guy get blamed for something he may not have done (sending emails).
Although I know there is even more to the story, I am still unconvinced as to who is sending Leonard the emails. The burden of proof rests with the prosecution, as they say.

I just talked to Casey...

He has never been to HM nor ever tried to register here. Hopefully he will! I was talking to him on his cellphone and lost him as he headed through a canyon so I'll know more a little later.

Just talked some more and then lost signal... "4100FPS" is possibly the trouble maker(unless his email has been hijacked, too)!!! He also suspects a "Lonehowl" but I doubt if it's Mark from NPHA. Casey got 4100FPS banned at PM after a squabble over night hunting BLM land and some threatening emails and posts at PM(deleted by Mods, of course). These guys took over the hunt that Casey had started in Wy.

Like Nick has said, Casey is a good guy and doesn't like the fighting anywhere... he is a stand up guy and won't take shit but he doesn't start shit.

By the way, the Monstermulie address is Casey's, he just changed his password so maybe it will stop now.

Defend him if you wish Nikonut, I'm not going any farther with it, but your position and mine differ. He also basically helped to get me banned at P.M. over an issue that he was flat out lying about. I don't know the story about the Wyoming hunt and don't care, but I do know a few of the other guys involved are good guys and I think there is more to the story than just Middletons side. But once again he threw a crybaby shit fit to the moderators and got someone else banned. He shouldn't register here if he hasn't. He wouldn't last 10 minutes.

For what it's worth, the heymama had a t-back on under her chaps, which she could have dispensed with without offending me in the least.

Ok, ref Middleton. I sent a followup email to the email addy I got the one from, and explained things and apologized if he wasn't responsible for sending it. I didn't want a smartass reply waiting in his box for something he didn't perpetrate. Since there appears to be reasonable doubt at this time that he is in fact the perpetrator of the offending emails and misbehavior, and is being vouched for by some folks on here who have currency with me, I have retracted any offending or derogatory comments I have posted about him. I would rather apologize and retract if I have falsely condemned the innocent than to let such deeds and comments live on for posterity. If, on the other hand, for whatever reason it actually turns out that it was him, then there is always opportunity in the future to deal with that. That's about as fair as I can be.

I am getting all knowed up, via email. There does seem to be a creditable account that cmiddleton was asked to not attend their little party and he is in a snit over it.

Niko, I am listening to what you say, not making any judgements without a little more input.

But, I believe what Cal says, I know he's right. That shit was a long time ago, but what he says, is how it happened. There were others banned at the same time, like Vic and Higgins.

Lol. Leonard, I don't even remember what I told you I was, or if I did. Sometimes, on line or in person, not everybody likes the po-po, or it is simply more convenient or easy for me to fly under the radar, so sometimes I simply tell people, if I get asked, that I 'work for the county', or that I'm a 'crisis resolution specialist', or work in 'the complaint department', or that I'm 'a garbageman...I take the trash out'. Besides, I get tired of the job and talking about the job and when I'm off I wanna relax and talk about other shit. Sometimes we have to 'go undercover' when we're off to get a break from the fuckin job, ya know? So if I told you I was a man-whore servicing panthers,
you can probably disregard it at this point. [Big Grin]

Ok, I gotta roll out at 0430, so I'm gonna have to bid you lads bonne nuit.

And I don't blame 3 Toes. If somebody wronged him, then he has a right to have a case of the ass.

For reasons I shall not go into, right now I'm not too fond of Italian ex-Air Force security police or guys named 'Mike'. Sitting here right now I can think of at least 5 guys named 'Mike' who rocketed onto my shitlist. Don't get me wrong - I'm sure there are good 'Mikes' in this world, but I sure as hell ain't been runnin' into them. Life's a bitch.

No grudge here LB. The guy is his own worst enemy, he doesn't need me for one. I stayed out of this thread for a long time and wasn't going to comment, but when some of the guys that possibly don't know his history started defending him, I had to put in my 2 cents.

Dear Administrator (Leonard?)

Greetings and thank you for accepting my registration. I have been following this saga here and since I have first hand information about the Predatormasters situation with Mr. Middleton it is probably time things get straightened out here. Maybe this actually is second hand information as I wasn't involved but trust the sources that have filled me in with the details, a fellow who was there.

I am not a Predatormasters member but do lurk most of the sites. I am friends with some of the Wyoming get together guys and was invited up to join them last February but mandatory overtime at work prohibited the trip plus the guy I was going to meet up with had to have an emergency operation

From what I have heard and read, this was a great bunch of guys that worked hard to put on a classy event. I better back up, 1 guy was a total jerk on both the event thread on Predatormasters and in person. Solid proof is for any and all of you to actually view that thread on Predatormasters, located under the Current EVENTS forum

C. Middleton bitched and moaned and ridiculed about everything. He also made big claims that he could get the people on a bunch of private land but at hunt time, no private land was to be had. A few phone calls later confirmed that he actually doesn't have access and is not a welcome person on many of the ranches. Cal taylor, you have heard some of this crap out of C. Middlton before, no?

It sounded like a lot of public land was available but C. Middleton tried to make people believe that the state and blm land is actually under control of the ranchers and that they told him to keep the Wyoming hunt folks from accessing it. Sounds like that strategy was an epic fail from what I heard as the majority of the people said fuck you and went on their way

I aslo heard that he dumped some uninvited guy off for other folks to take hunting and even provide a hotel room. The guy wasnt good enough to hunt with C. Middleton and his partner I guess.

After this hunt he was sending personal messages promising to get the hunt shut down and members banned. Part of his strategy was to start garbage on the thread to get it locked, he did succeed in that one. Organizers of this hunt tried to negotiate a solution with Predatormasters Moderators but the end result was that they were told that there would be no more Wyoming hunts allowed on Predatormasters and any mention or advertising of any future event would result in members banned.

Needless to say, very hard feelings towards C. Middleton and extremely hard feelings towards Predatormasters allowing him to cry and whine and succeed in getting the deal fucked up for everyone. If you want to get a good idea about what kind of guy C. Middleton is, listen to Cal Taylor and research past posts from C. Middleton. Sounds like this ordeal probably showed the asses at Predatormasters as much as the antics of C. Middleton. Wonder why C. Middleton was asked not to return? I wonder how many people have been banned while doing battle with this freak

Once again Cal Taylor hit the nail spot on about C. Middleton. Sounds like he is to damn stupid to figure out how to register and sign up here but from the copies of some of the garbage being circulated out there, the writing is definately that of the "nets worst spellar"

A resilent bunch, those Wyoming guys. Last I heard they still will have a hunt but invite only. Sounds like both C. Middleton and some of the Predatormasters staff might receive an invitation because a few of the dudes would love the opportunity for a mano-mano discussion. We all know none of those dicklickers would show, ha ha,. Its a well known fact that Predatormasters Mod's are the sad sacks of the industry and pretty gutless Keyboard commandos but I know you fellas have been through that before. I never joined there but could easily determine that from lurking the last couple of years.

sad when you think about it, one rotten egg fucked up the whole basket.

danke schoen and good hunting at 'cha

Tom and Jason, I'm just making sure you two are paying attention. Good job, now what are we going to do about this situation? You are both moderator material, if you lay off the juice, and I hope you do.

Back to administrative duties, if you please.

Welcome to The New HuntmastersBBS.com, WyoColoDogger. Glad to have you on board. Are we to believe that you and cmiddleton are neighbors? No, probably not? Do you know somebody named Williams? How do you manage to live in two states? Or do you sleep in one and work in another? Just curious.

If this don't smoke him out, nothing will. I bet I get really intimidating emails tomorrow.

Well...

Good morning!

"WyoColoDogger", you sure have a lot to say about something that you weren't involved in... how is it that you know all of those details? Defending friends is one thing but you had better be ready to back it up with facts, not heresay.

I haven't read the WY Hunt post at PM but will try later. I'm banned there so I know I can't search anything.

I very much remember the troubles between 3Toes and CMiddleton at PM. From my perspective, and please don't take this wrong, both were wrong to some degree. Anytime a ADC guy has someone mess up their work I can definitely understand their frustration, I just don't think it should have gone into a pissing match on an open forum... should have been between those two only. By the way, I do remember reading all the stuff in the backroom at PM about that incident and it was attitude not CMiddleton that got people banned. I also don't think Cal or Rich should have been banned... maybe given a time out but not banned. I've probably said worse things on this board than they ever did on PM!

I was somewhat idealistic about PM back then and I'm sorry that situation ended the way it did, I have a good deal of respect for Cal and what he does and is capable of doing in the field! I wish I had 1/10th of his knowledge of coyotes and calling, I say that with great respect.

I know I'd enjoy meeting you someday, Cal.

Okay so we know that cmiddleton had a falling out with some other hunters, some on this board and some not. Like was suggested earlier, I still believe that someone assumed cmiddleton's "internet identity" and posted those emails to Leonard. As stated, those emails are not his style. Middleton should be blamed for what did as per the history described here, but not for what he didn't do.

And history aside, I do agree with Cal Taylor on one point, that middleton would not have lasted here. I had even mentioned this to Leonard early on during this thread in an email.

That having been said, I don't have a dog in this fight. Middleton never did anything to me and I personally have nothing against him. Nor do I have anything against the people he apparently scuffled with.

I am done with this thread, unless someone makes a direct or indirect reference to me again.

Edit: Enote,I just saw your second email. Okay, now I am done with this thread.

I just spent over an hour reading the post at PM for the Wy hunt... 21 pages,wow! Seems some of it must have been deleted because all I saw was Casey asking to please respect the ranchers... I hunt here and don't want my hunting privileges screwed up. He also made suggestions to make the hunting better. Seems some guys blew a gasket!

There was a partial post about getting the mods to lock the thread... that didn't seem good on Casey's part. I'd like to see the emails he got.

I wonder if the harassing emails Casey said he got were from hunt attendees? Seemed everyone had a good time... I don't get it?

Leonard I live in Craig Colorado, hunt both states. I am currently on a short stint in KC. Dont know any Williams offhand, but that's common name.
Nikonut, I am pretty secure with my source of information. I'd rather have 2nd info then have BS come directly from the mouth of the likes of C. Middleton. We must of read a different Wyoming hunt thread at Predatormasters. The one I see has a lot of whining and complaining from your pet C. Middleton. Moot point nobody wants your buddy around

I have seen your name Nikonut on most of the boards. What I'm going to tell you next is something that I think a lot of the forums guys would like to say to you: FUCK OFF

THE BASTARD THAT INVENTED ANONYMOUS EMAIL ACCOUNTS SHOULD HAVE HIS ASS KICKED. THE PEOPLE THAT USE SUCH ACCOUNTS ARE LIMP DICK ASSHOLES.

Now, if cmiddleton is innocent of all charges, I think he owes us an explanation, rather than appointing niko as spokesperson. That just doesn't cut it. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate what niko has to say, but it's not the same.

Mr WyoColoDogger uses blunt language, and I also appreciate what he has to say. If he doesn't want to divulge his source, maybe he can email it to me and I will work the back channels a bit, as to verify what he says.

As far as Nikonut goes, as a member here, he has done nothing to tarnish his reputation. I have not been back to PM in damned near ten years, so I don't know any history, As he is a refuge, much like me, I know things can happen that splatters shit on everybody. He is a member in good standing on HM, just slightly ahead of bad boys Tom and JD.

I understand that about the only `rule` around here is (1) 'Don't piss the big guy off'. Your house, your rule. No problem.

However..............Might I respectfully suggest adding (2) Wipe your feet and leave your baggage at the door when coming here from another board.

It seems that there are people here that have issues on other boards, but rarely mention it here. Then there are those who show up on the doorstep with a shit stirring paddle balenced on the chip on their shoulders.

Hey, here's a thought; Maybe all of these disgruntled, banned members from other boards could pitch in an buy Dan's old Monster site. I know that he's loaded but times are tight and he might be willing to cut somebody a deal.

I like the line about about Niko being the nanny for C. Middleton, sweet and probably oh so true. Nikonut, I very much doubt that the stink you obtained while being a backroom toughguy at predmasters has washed off yet, if it ever will but at least you can say that now youre a nanny or are you Middltons bitch?. but there is one serious question that should be asked of you, when you were running all those call benefit auctions for C. middltons supposed sick daughter 3 years ago, did you audit the proceeds to see where the money went? I in no way am suggesting anything other curious to know where the acctual cash got spent. You have receipts, right? If its all legit then I hope she's ok.

Maybe a time for a call out to the present predMasters shithouse bosses. We know that you dumbfucks monitor all competing predator boards so come on in join the conversation. You cant ban me becuase I aint under your authority, amigos! I think my most favorite is the clown aka NM Leon. I've never seen such a google-wise idiot then this guy but dayum can this superfreak google up the facts! Pure MENSA material but obviously unemployed and glued to his moms computer all day and night. Chairman of of the board at predatormasters.........you cant make this shit up

Leonard regardless if your members here agree or disgree on issues, thanks for allowing maybe the only open place on the internet where predatorhunters can speak without fear of any worthless p.o.s. in wait at a keyboard with a tremblin hand on the ban button. These motherFucks will sit at a computer all day looking for that one opportunity to get there jollies ya know.

The last (and only) time we were there we went down around Rifle and Meeker to a lodge for prime rib. Most uncomfortable 45 minute ride going back to Craig I've ever suffered.

Fact is, being a user of the F'bomb, I'm guessing you'd get along much better with me and mine than them and theirs.

And, as sure as night follows day, "They are on a mission from God" as The Blues Brothers might say.

No question about it, these days, teachers don't want the kids to seek out the answers for themselves, they shamelessly indoctrinate those youngsters, be it GLOBAL WARMING, Gun control, Planned parenthood, Liberal politics or all of the above. In this case they might stress Creationism rather than Darwin.

Whatever, it is open season on young impressionable minds, and teachers need to be closely watched.

Dave Allen, perhaps I was a little hard on the NikoNut. While I don't agree with his C. Middleton alliance maybe it is time to let his former affiliation with Pred.masters go. Come to think of it I would not doubt that most of the turmoil between us hunters has been caused by the mod squad at PM........ get us to fight amongst ourselves while those bastards divide and conquer. <<< think about this, I will bet a thousand bucks that there has been more strife and in-fighting caused by PM staff in the past 5 years then 50 years of organized predator hunting. Sad part is, these bastards are dayum proud of it. They weren't clever enough to hatch this scheme on their own but by some accident it all came together. Congrats to the backroom instigators but remember this............your names have been etched in stone on the predator hunting wall o' shame. ya still smirkin there rockinbar?

I also see where Niko is listed as a patriot guard so that it well enough reason to give him a break. Not saying we won't have disagreements but thanks for your service. That said I'm still looking for your audit results regarding the Middleton benefit auctions

cDog, I haven't been in Craig long enough to know everybody.

C. Middleton you are not off the hook. I made a few phone calls today, you severely pissed off some folks and I hear it ain't over

Robo Cop = Jeff Mock, Pres. of Pred.masters. this is the guy who whacks it off while sitting on the toilet rim taking a #2 ? I remember reading that on the Monsters board. Stay classy there Mock

WOW......C. Middleton's writing style right to the T. I have copies of actual Pred.Masters personal messages sent by Middleton to other Wyoming hunt members with almost the exact same dialogue.

Mr. Middleton, better grab ahold of something and hang on pardner

btw wyocolodogger, I appreciate your use of colorful language, sometimes a person just needs a little something extra to get his fucking point across. However, I do think Niko is a good apple.

I have never understood this behind the scenes whispering bullshit...If Cmiddleton has anything worth saying he would certainly post up wouldn't he?

LB, sometimes I have no idea what your talking about, I think those annonymous emails have you all messed up in the head.

OK, Thanks for those of you who give me the benefit of doubt...

I don't look for Casey to try signing up here anytime soon. I also don't know who is using his email but I can tell you it's not Casey!!! I may be a little naive at times but I know it's not him.

Mark(Lonehowl), you wouldn't slink around behind a false name or address... that is why I posted what I did so everyone would know it wasn't YOU!!! You have always been a straight shooter, of that I'm certain, too.

Dave Allen, thanks buddy, hope you're feeling better!

As for WyoColoDogger, I am what I am... I got banned at PM for calling Redfrog out in the mods room, I've never been a bully but I won't back down from a fight. I'm no one's nanny or bitch and I try to tell it as I see it. We all get our information from different sources and I have lots of sources. Unlike some I also try not to post blame on someone or pass false info... I evaluate what I'm told before I speak. You also have a familiar writing style and know way too much to be a virgin on these boards, so what's your other user name? Or are you going to tell us that's nonya business?
I also agree that PM has caused more trouble in the predator hunting community than almost anything else! We should be fighting the anti's and gun control freaks, not each other. You made a very good point!

Cal, if I had the cash I'd be out there having you show me around the speed goat roundup and chasing some coyotes! I also know there has to be more than was ever posted at PM between you and Casey... I don't need the details to know you had your reasons. You didn't get where you are in the hunting world by reading about hunting on the internet. Thank you for doing the "Wounded Warrior" hunts! That's the kind of thing we should be doing rather than fighting amongst ourselves!!!

Nick, if you ever catch a ride with Knockemdown you need to stop by sometime! I live right next door to the police station here!!! [Big Grin]

lol now Im getting more emails and pm,s elsewhere, telling me that this guy is blaming me and a few other guys for all sorts of shit. Just got one over at PM(where I just made a post in the call forum)

Apparently, he does in fact suspect a "Lonehowl67" in part for all the problems in his life. Lonehowl67 is part of my email addy and somehow it is entangled in whatever mess is going on with this guy.

I have never, as far as I know, spoken to, emailed, or even posted in the same thread as Mr. Middleton...much less give 2 shits about any "get-together" in Wyoming, or whatever it is.

I just got off the phone with the gentleman that organizes the Wyoming hunt. Now, much of our talk was about PM moderators, but the distinct impression I got was this guy is at the point where he would enjoy the opportunity to paste one or two of them in their big fat mouth. Fair warning, cmiddleton, don't even think of attending the next hunt, these guys have had enough of your shit.

So, there ya go, we have some people that defend Casey as a good guy and others that think he's a lunatic. Hey, some people don't like me, I understand differences of opinion. The one thing that everybody agrees on is: he is the worst speller on the planet.

Some that I talk to, or hear from are firmly convinced that it is cmiddleton that is sending these anonymous emails, practically has his fingerprints all over it.

Yet, we have a few members here that defend the guy, regular guy, doesn't even beat his wife, so I continue to be a bit puzzled by these events. However, I think we are getting close to a verdict.

Leonard,

Someone has hacked Casey's account at Monstermulie's, he assured me he didn't try to join up here. I believe that...

I also believe he has made some people angry in the past and about this hunt. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve some of the bad press, just that he isn't the one stirring this up.

You asked about the Patriot Guard... I'll start a new topic with info.

Somebody hacked into his email account? Oh my, I wonder if the same perp also hacked into Middleton's Pred.Masters account and sent similiar pm's. Aw hell, I'm sure Middleton is a the victim here. Maybe he can explain himself to the esteemed staff at Pred.Masters and get the matter straightened out. Was that also an imposter posing as C. Middleton that showed up for the Wyoming hunt?

Oh Nikonut..............what about the AUDIT of funds sent for the supposed sick daughter? Did the money go towards medical bills or was Middleton driving around in a new to him 77' Trans Am?

Glad somebody set you straight, Leonard but maybe it's time Middleton comes on here without his surrogate Niko and 'splain himself

I had another pleasant and informative conversation earlier this afternoon.

Without naming names, I talked to a man that has been in on these Wyoming hunts and has hunted with cmiddleton.

I need to protect the innocent as well as the guilty, but I came away from the conversation with a clear and obvious opinion.

So, being deliberately vague, I want to offer some well intended advice to whom ever it applies.

Give it up and forget about it. You have about 31 people involved and thirty of them appear to have basically the same opinion. Accept it, deal with it and move on because you can't win. You can't win by appealing to friendship and loyalty and you can't win by (yet again) playing the sympathy card. This issue was stillborn for everybody involved, and now, it for sure is dead and gone. There are no victims here. That's as plain as I can make it.

Leonard I kind of already admitted I was backing off due to what I was told on forum and off.

The bottom line for me is, I don't believe it was cmiddleton sending you those emails. I believe it was someone screwing around with him and I stand by that.

As far as middleton's alleged sins go, as I already stated I don't have a dog in that fight. He can suffer the consequences or reap the benefits, as the case may be. Or he could come on here to Huntmasters and explain himself. Though either way I don't think it will make a difference for him.

49 over and out.

Somebody has a record of stuff happening to them, and a record of whining and complaining. He often makes no sense in his explanations. He makes huge threats and claims that some authority will be investigating things. It all has a familiar ring.

I have seen enough to know where the problem lies. In spite of loyalty and friendship, it appears that somebody is wrong and somebody else is right.

The difference here is that while reading up on events over at PMS, where the moderators cut and paste and edit and delete and do their best to obscure reality, in this case, we have an intact record and many facts provided by those that were there, instead of testimonials provided by friends who weren't there.

It's just that this dog won't hunt, you know what I mean? There be truth here, somewhere. You folks will just have to decide for yourselves.

GH/LB

PS just to make one point clear, the reason why the Wyoming bunch is not identified is because they want to remain on the good side of the powers that be, over at PMS. They know that one wrong move and they will have no forum on which to network with other Wyoming hunters.

I almost went to the WY hunt. I was off work at the time and was gearing up to go. Heck even one guy, (I think the guy setting it up) gave me one of his homemade e-caller sounds. I've never coyote hunted in WY. It being much different from what I am used to, I thought it would be a pretty cool adventure.

I ended up going back to work so I missed it. My loss, but maybe in the future.

I have read some of his post, but I don't know this CM, so no comment there, but the other guys seemed like a bunch of good eggs (so to speak) from their post and such.

The night hunting and hunting on a few ranches or BLM land did seem to create some friction, or arguments.

Dan, that part, the disagreement over night hunting can be boiled down to the wishes of a control freak. Lawful activity on public ground. Why would somebody attempt to influence other people, and as sure as night follows day, whine about it and make empty threats?

If there is anyone that disagrees and knows what happened, please chime in.

Guys, I really don't have a dog in this fight regardless of how it might seem.

The overwhelming balance of evidence points to CM... if it is indeed his doing I will be very surprised and disappointed. It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong but then I'm not going to let it affect my life either way.

Let's get some rope and hang all of them fellas!

I can't see arguing about what time I leave to hunt in the morning, where I hunt if it's legal, or even if I hunt at one of these gatherings. I have always gone to events for the comradery more than the hunting anyway! At home I can hunt how and when I want and don't have to pay for licenses or other fees. The economics of that just don't work out!

Like Leonard has said, this issue was stillborn and should be dead. It may take a long time but the truth will eventually come out and if not, then it didn't matter anyway!

Leonard, not to beat a dead horse (where is that beating a dead horse emoticon?), but those emails clearly weren't cmiddleton's style, nor his personality. Middleton is a type "B" personality. The personality type that sent you (at least some) of those emails was clearly type "A." I might be the worst coyote hunter on the internet, but I am pretty fair at sizing people up. It's a big part of for a living. Middleton is a laid back guy. I remember myself arguing with him at Predator masters. It was over something stupid, and I knew he couldn't hold his own. I felt sorry for him, and I backed off. Middleton might whine and complain when he doesn't get his way, but his personality isn't a strong enough type to send what you showed us. I am sticking to my guns, until someone proves me wrong.

What went on between Middleton and Cal Taylor, and between middleton and the Wyoming guys are seperate issues in my book. My feeling is let him be judged on that.

Edit: There is a culprit somewhere out there. He knows who he is.

Okay, fair enough. Myself, there are some cases where it is very difficult to size somebody up on the Internet. I mean, I can judge the things they say, but even that is not reliable.

I will give you an example. There was a poster named White Mountain Cur who was extremely knowledgeable. He faked everybody out until someone called his home phone and his mom said he wasn't home from school yet. He was very good at parroting what he read elsewhere and seemed to be really smart about trapping and predator hunting. He fooled everybody, including those that thought they were good judges of character.

I'll tell ya. I can pick out a knowledgeable predator hunter, but White Mountain Cur had me fooled along with everybody else.

The other thing is this type is extremely talented using guile and sympathy and what the Marines in Iraq call "circle talk". As soon as you think you are getting somewhere, they scream that their PM account was hacked, or their email account was hacked, stuff like that. Slippery, and good at self preservation.

I can't decide based on anonymous emails and posts made on different boards. But, in this situation we have the words of several different Wyoming hunters who, you would think, have no reason to trash somebody....until somebody starts making charges and threats. Okay, if you choose to believe him, that's fine. BUT, YOU HAVE NO PROOF. And, as in the court room, there are always dueling experts and somebody on the jury has to separate the pepper from the fly shit.

I think I know who is stirring the shit, and who lacks credibility

Good hunting. El Bee

Riddle me this, Batman.

Out of 3800 members here, somebody who has not contacted anybody else, writes to 49 and Del? Why not address the problem, where it is?

You have two conflicting styles, how did you determine which one is genuine?

So, niko is a friend, that makes sense that he would go to him. But, then all we have is niko sticking up for a friend, which is admirable, but he is going on faith, which doesn't make an impression on the rest of us....and he didn't post the text either.

Why wouldn't he advise his friend to log in and explain himself? Oh, because that way the sheriff would know that he wasn't the one sending bogus emails. Not logical.

If cmiddleton wants to get back at those bad guys in Wyoming, he isn't going to do it while hiding under niko and 49's skirts, and depending on them to relay his denials.

What the hell is he so afraid of? Man up and tell EVERYBODY what happened before we all lose interest, and it's probably too late for that anyway?

Look, Niko. You have nothing for us, and it does not ring true when you say that you have no dog in this fight, when it's obvious that you do.

49, aside from your talent for detecting truth, you have nothing for us, other than an opinion. Well, opinions are like assholes, we all have one. But what makes yours more believable than mine, or any other member that has responded in this thread?

Both of you guys, this is not so much a reflection on your credibility, as it is a lack of something besides "opinion" that we can hang our hat on. I mean, you have a witness with an axe to grind. If he wants more bang for the buck, he should write from his regular email account to the administrator here, or register on the BOARD and tell everybody, in his own words. I can't understand why he is handling this the way he does. It's not logical.

Therefore, until we hear his side of the story, we appear to be dealing with a very unusual type of DRAMA QUEEN. With a long history as a DRAMA QUEEN.

Good hunting. LB

edit: "I don't want to argue with anyone here over this guy. " Understandable. And, I'm sorry if it appears that I have put you on the witness stand. My apologies.

found this over at PM. NOT SURE IF ITS RELATED TO THIS THREAD BUT IT MAY. I ALSO CHECKED OUT SOME OF CM'S PAST POST'S AND HE DOES NOT SEEM THE TYPE TO BE DOING THIS CRAP.
In the last couple of weeks we've had a number of members impersonated, and profane and inflammatory emails sent to other members in their names.

These (so far) have fallen into 2 categories.

#1) An anonymous email is sent (sometimes with a message in the body saying it's anonymous) but in the body the sender "signs" it as someone you know (let's say, Buster).

This is pretty stupid. If there's a message that the email was sent anonymously, it's a pretty safe bet it's a hoax and not actually Buster cussing you out..

If the email return address is abc@123 and you know that the Buster's address of is really xyz@321, it's likewise a pretty safe bet it's a hoax.

#2) An email is sent and the return address looks authentic.

From the example above, the return address says it's from xyz@321 and you know that's Buster's legitimate email address. Well heck, you need to rush right over to Buster's house and kick some stuff, or at least send him an equally profane or threatening reply, right?

Well, before you do, check the full email header. You may just find that even though the return address seems to be Buster's, it was sent from San Francisco, and you know Buster lives in Waco, TX. If you don't know where Buster lives, check his ip address (the number at the bottom of his avatar/name block in every post he makes).

It's unlikely that the actual scumbag who sent the fake email lives in San Francisco (that's where the email "anonymizer service" would be), but since it didn't come from where you know Buster is, you can assume it wasn't from him.

There ARE ways to find out who really sent the email, or at least the info that's registered for the person behind the ip address that used the anonymizer service, but probably the easiest would be if you have a cop friend. Since sending anonymous emails could be used for any number of illegal activities, those anonymizer services have a reputation for being very cooperative with LEOs.

Leonard, it's entirely logical if it isn't CM doing it... it's called baiting and you and this board are an easy target. Whomever is doing this is probably sitting somewhere laughing his or her ass off over how this and the previous anonymously posted messages set this board on fire!!! I'm tempted to try starting another pileup just to find out how easy it might be. Think about that.

The real truth is that someone is being, "HAD" and maybe it's me. I've never met Casey but he's never done me wrong that I know of.

One question to all of you out there reading this...

What dog do you see me having in this fight?

The only "Logical" thing I could get out of any of this is to further lose credibility so show me the dog!

Bear hunter, are we to understand that you copied and pasted that entire message, from after the caps in the first two lines?

These assumptions would be correct, as far as it goes. But, obviously, just because a message is anonymous, that does not mean that it is a hoax. I get them on a frequent basis, and 9 out of 10 are not hoaxes; they are emails sent from someone that does not want to reveal their identity, and the information is not usually false.

The people that provide that type of service could be cooperative with law enforcement, which is a case of BFD. Nothing we are dealing with in the events up in Wyoming are illegal, and I don't see why it would be necessary to "investigate" them and TRACK THEM DOWN? As far as I'm concerned, they are anonymous and I have no interest in discovering who actually wrote the email.

When it says that it comes from cmiddleton, that could be true and it could be wrong. Why somebody would send an email that you cannot respond to, I don't know? But if they identify themselves, it is possible that they don't want the recipient to know their email address, simple as that.

The fact that two law enforcement people received email supposedly from the person involved could mean that they expect to be checked out. Then, how do we explain that this person has been screaming that his email was hacked, and if so, I guess it is not possible to verify anything coming from this source. Maybe?

I really don't see the information as particularly illuminating, unless you are into conspiracy theories?

I keep coming back to the "person of interest" a frequent L.E. term they use when they can't use the word, suspect. But our person of interest is engaged in suspicious behavior. He could have come forward at any time, made a phone call, sent me a legit email, etc.

And, by the way, I'm not that hard to find, my number is published. I got two calls from Wyoming and another from a more eastern state and all of them looked up my phone number in the white pages.

Now, I have also been doing some research over at PMS, and I'm sorry to disagree; I do see a pattern consistent with the anonymous emails.

If Casey wants to clear things up, I think he needs to come out of hiding. And, if not, doing the best we can with available material I think it is possible to draw conclusions without his input. But, again, it is in his best interest to quit avoiding the issue.

If he didn't send me those emails, why not give me a call and straighten me out?

No niko, don't worry about pissing me off because you disagree. Give me a little credit.

As far as the dog in this fight, okay, you showed me as wrong, he didn't contact you, you contacted him.....but that begs the question, WHY did you contact him, and what exactly can you tell us that exonerates cmiddleton. I am surprised that you two have never met, I definitely had the opposite impression.

So we might be victims of a hoax? That's it? If the man will talk to you, and you don't know him, then why wouldn't he talk to me? I'll give him a fair hearing, I promise you that.

That's just what I was thinking, 49. I'm getting fed up with the whole situation.

As of now, I think the Wyoming bunch is unfazed by what has transpired, here. cmiddleton seems to be playing a sly game while we are arguing amongst ourselves.

The way I see it, based on what I have heard from people that were there and know him, he does not look too good. How anybody can arrive at a completely different conclusion that he's once again a victim, is beyond me. But I've been wrong before.

edit: bearhunter, there is no problem, man. I was just asking for a clarification.

Not that we don't enjoy a good fight now and then but remind me...

Why do we care about any of this?

Well, Leonard I do worry about pissing you off and I actually give you a great deal of credit for how you handle things here.

Why did I call CM? I called him to find out for myself and to try to answer the questions that guys were asking regarding emails they were getting.

Casey told me he has never been to HM... I gave him the info on finding this place and whether he acts on that is anyones guess. Given the press this has gotten I doubt that he will even try to register. How will we know if it's him if he does try to register? [Confused] [Roll Eyes]

Sure would be better if you and Casey could have a conversation. I'll work on that one.

Well let me apologize for my above post. I got exasperated and I let my anger get the best of me. As far as I know, Casey didn't ask anyone to stick up for him, so I don't believe he owes us anything. However, I know he has been following this thread, and it is my humble opinion that reaching out would be the decent thing to do after all.

Nikon's suggestion of calling Leonard directly would be the best method.

And Tom is right...why do we care about this?

At any rate, Osama Bin Laden is reported to be dead, and that is a good thing.
