Oh my god. I know. They also sell sweatshirts and tshirts.
Scary isn't it?

If George and Tommy were computer programs they would be Windows ME and Microsoft Bob.

The elephant is missing some of her head. But she's still cute :)

I kinda like the bigger avatars.
We need an option for that. We all don't need Extenze.

"Michael, why did God let George Noory on the radio?"

And Why oh Why did God let Bill Gates make Windows ME?



Sybil

And just so we can get rid of this elephant.....

Here's the legalese:

1)  Do not make false statements about people which could be interpreted as defamatory in nature.  Although these cases are difficult to prove in a court of law, you could suffer the inconvenience of being sued if you do so.  This is for your legal protection, not ours.

So there we have it. Say what you want. GNS wont get sued. We will get sued. YAY!
I've never been sued so It's one of those things I need to do before i die.






Sybil

And how's that avatar reduction coming along?

I can't wait to get back to my old self.

Yeah and Shithead said it was going to be about 'talking to the dead'  -  WTF does he know about it?  Other than having had guests on that talk about it while he's busy Googling himself?   He's even more underqualified to co-write this book than he was the last one!!   I wonder who will edit it?   The last book was laughably "edited"  by one of Whitley's editors, and I can only believe that Whitley writes well enough to not need any editing,  because this person seemed to have not touched a thing in the Noory/Birnes  book.  Mistakes and typos and bad grammar abounded.   You'd think Birnes might have noticed too,  but apparently not.

That's because Birnes didn't give a shit.

So if I'm reading the below paragraph correctly, it means you guys are completely off the hook by anything anyone might say. By posting at all we're throwing ourselves under the bus. You guys are free and clear. So what's the big hullabaloo?

Respectfully Submitted by Sybil.......

You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages and by posting, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners and staff of this message board and any websites related to or subsidiaries of this message board. The owners of this message board reserve the right to reveal your identity in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from your use of this message board.  When the identity of a user is demanded by a third party, we will only respond to formal procedure.  Emails sent by somebody with a scary title in a tall building will not suffice.

Among other things now, I'm pretty nervous bout this part:

"The owners of this message board reserve the right to reveal your identity in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from your use of this message board."


A formal complaint is what Noory sent to the Fantastic Forum. Then they told everyone to "clean it up" even though his letter was fraudulent and possibly actionable since last time I checked you can't threaten lawyer mayhem on someone without really doing it. That email he sent that forum was the most bogus piece of trash I think I've ever read.

But with the language in the terms here, this could mean some pretty messed up shit.

So I think it's time for me to go back and remove all Gumby posts. At least I'm thinking seriously about it.

This all seems like the usual boilerplate these boards have.   No one wants to be sued, and Noory being a public figure doesn't have much recourse except to have his lawyers send out letters.  He already tried that and it didn't work.

Someone would have to go well past anything I've seen on any of these threads for it to be a problem.  Mods are here to help help ensure that doesn't happen.  Just my take - no biggie...

Well. I went back to page one of this thread and the "modify" option is not available any more.

     The numbers lady  is OK.  She has her own energy that even GN can't screw up, but I can't seem to follow along with her math.  Add the seven, subtract the nine, yeah, OK, what? 
     George agreed with everything the 911 conspiracy  caller said, and when somebody else called in to trash the whole idiotic concept of a 911 conspiracy, GN agreed with him too.  Huh?  What?
     All in all, another stunning week in the annals of Noorology, where the mind turns to mush, and the mush finds its way on to Hoagland's website and paraded as alien toaster ovens.
     Come on Ian, give us a show...

Dude, you're confused. I listened to the show. George lets people have their say, that does not imply agreement. On other occasions he has made his feelings about 9/11 amply clear. I doubt you could follow along with anybody's math. ;)

I think it's pretty easy, but I have not personally verified this method.

When in your PROFILE, you have the option to upload your avatar to the FORUM, or use an OFFSITE LINK. I see you're presently using an offsite link.

Take whatever avatar you choose, and use the upload to board method, and I suspect, that, e.g., if your avatar is 50x50 pixels, it will remain that way. And just for my own info, are you complaining about the pixelization the the "FAIL" avatar, or the "Forum Sexpot" avatar. I have a filter in Photoshop which can enlarge images whilst decreasing pixelization artifacts. This, of course, would not work for animated GIFs.

More avatar news to come in a few moments after I play a bit...

i believe you are wrong.  noory did not send a formal complaint to the fantastic dump-hole.  he merely shot an email to them.  anybody can send out scary emails.  that's hardly a formal complaint.

however, your concerns prompted me to study that section of the TOS, and upon doing so, i have to agree that the language could cause someone to reach the conclusion you've reached.  that was never the intention.  therefore, it's been reworded.  hopefully this will address your concerns.

this is not something this website invented for our own purposes.  this is an acknowledgment of federal law.  websites (particularly message boards where thousands of messages are posted by a potentially similar number of people) are immune to litigation resulting from messages submitted by their members.  without such immunity, no message board would be able to exist because the legal risk would just be too great and the responsibility of monitoring every message by every user would be cost prohibitive and unreasonably resource intensive.

it's why tony larussa's lawsuit against twitter is just laughable.

Thankyoo. I had to cut out my ex, making it look a little awkward, so I appreciate the compliment. Her hand is still in there though....*smacks it*

Hand??? WHAT hand?



(I accept PayPal   ) I also sharpened it up a bit, but you may prefer the "softer/blurrier" look. I left the tonal ranges alone. Softened some of the resulting harsher edges just a tad.

Gumby don't remove your posts. You can say anything you want...don't let anyone push you around or threaten you. You should feel comfortable saying whatever is on your mind.

So break it down for me so I can wrap my small chimp brain around it. I can say anything I want on this forum as long as I personally don't care about being sued?

FOR FUCK'S SAKE.  you're essentially asking me if i've stopped beating my wife yet.  and for what purpose?

i'm just a god damned guy who started a website.  half the time, i sit around in my underwear maintaining the software back-end.  in other words, this subject is not something i obsess over, and nor should you.  the fact of the matter is that the TOS are essentially useless because if anybody is going to get stuck dealing with legal bullshit, IT WILL LIKELY BE ME, NOT ANYBODY ELSE!  GET IT?  YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER EVEN FUCKING KNOW ANYTHING WENT DOWN IF AND/OR WHEN IT DOES!  so stop acting like a fucking pussy.  if you're going to post on this website, then do so.  if you're not, then don't.

here is a breakdown of the UTTER SIMPLICITY of this situation:
if you say "so and so is a child molestor..." whether you do it HERE or THERE or you write it in sidewalk chalk... it could get you into trouble IF IT'S NOT TRUE!! THAT'S IT!  it's simple.  this legal fact applies to all facets of your life, not just the time you spend on this fucking website.  i can't even believe i'm being forced to explain this to you.  the TOS on this site are not unusual in any way whatsoever.   wait.  you know what?  i take that back.  they ARE different because of how FUCKING EASY TO UNDERSTAND THEY ARE.  soo... if you can't fucking understand what you're reading, then perhaps you should just shoot yourself or file for a general disability compensation of some form from your government.  all of this hemming and hawing over NOTHING is a waste of my resources and i'm not going to address it further.  if anybody here has a SPECIFIC problem with the TOS, then i'd be happy to address it just as i did moments ago for gumby.  he had a legitimate concern.  however, rhetorical questions posed explicitly for the purpose of making some sort of statement about how difficult you are as a human will not be addressed.

and i apologize in advance for encouraging suicide.

but i meant the rest of it.

Smoky - ya gotta believe me, I'm not taking sides here, but just analyzing the situation as, what I like to feel, an impartial observer. That having been said...

The TOS of the overwhelming majority of forums have similar "boilerplate" language. This is just fact, whether you or I like it, or agree with it. It's meant to protect the site owner, and to inform any members as to what MIGHT happen.

The sad truth is, almost ANYONE can sue ANYODY for just about ANYTHING. However, in reality most people don't. In most cases, an attorney will not take a case (even though many are snakes) unless they think they can win, because, in many states, if not most states, frivilous lawsuits are thrown out "on their merits" (or lack of them) by the judge before any trial takes place. People who file frivilous lawsuits can also be held liable and have to pay the defendants legal fees - though this is not applied as often as it should. So sometimes, if not many times, it unjustly costs you money to defend yourself, even when the suit has no merit.

The bar is set very high to obtain, through legal means, your name attached to your IP address. As you must know, ALL forums allow the site admin to see ALL posters' IP addresses. The names and other data can only come from the ISP for that IP address, and only by court order or warrant from a legally authorized government agency. These are facts. Names from IP addresses cannot be divulged simply because someone files a lawsuit. A judge would have to find merit. Even anonymous proxies, located elsewhere in the world, can be "persuaded" if not outright obliged under international law, to hand over certain private information.

So, as I see it, the low-down is this: there is NOWHERE in the world you can "hide" when posting on the web. Even were you to go to an internet cafe, or public library here in the US, and use proxies, there is always the chance that a security camera may have caught your image, and recorded it for posterity, should the jack-booted government thugs REALLY want to track you down.

Have I posted things I wish I hadn't on occasion? You betchya. Can I always go back and delete them? Nope. Can I usually go back and MODIFY them? Yup - simply click modify, delete the contents, and place 3 periods in the posts (posts almost always require a minimum amount of characters)... this usually takes care of the problem. Can I always MODIFY my posts? Nope - some forums don't allow it at all, some allow modifications for 24 hours (or some arbitrary time limit), and some, maybe even most that I'm involved with, allow me to modify anytime. Your mileage may vary.

So........ if I say that Obama is a fucktard Marxist/Statist president, who is guiding this country toward socialism and financial ruin, am I worried? Nope.

If I say that George Snoron is a fucktard radio host, who is guiding Coast to Coast toward radio ruin and destruction, am I worried? Nope.

The only time I'd worry is if one advocated violence (or other heinous act) against another person or entity. But none of us here are or would do that.

So, in conclusion, don't sweat the small stuff. Obama is an imbecilic, community organizer buffoon, with Marxist tendencies, and Joe Biden, who use the be the dumbest man in the Senate, is now the dumbest Vice President who ever lived. I'll stand by that, and I'm not worried about saying it.

Similarly, George Snoory is a horrible radio post, and might be Tommy's Bologa Pony, Fudge-Packin', Butt Pirate. I'm not worried about saying that either.

So I say, we all imbibe a few adult beverages, and let's get back to bashing the Snoron, or whatever else we feel like discussing. Gumby, you know from "the other place" you made me laugh, and said things I wish I could even dream of saying. And Smoky, you seem like a funny bloke too - but maybe sometimes (what seems to me anyways) small shit gets in the way of an otherwise, good time.

Quick note: some might call me out for that whole "blowing up London" thing. That was different - I had to.
