**
Tim, after reading your &quot;articles&quot; for the past 6 weeks, I have to be honest and tell you I&#039;d be humiliated and ashamed to call yourself a journalist.  I just read your most recent &quot;slanderfest,&quot; and having 20+ years experience as a photographer that daily uses Photoshop, as well as having done the photography on 3 published books, I can tell you without fail that the photos in question have not been doctored.  How many years in photography do you have under your belt?  How many books have you published?  If you&#039;re going to take it upon yourself to use blackmail and intimidation tactics (per your words in your most recent &quot;article&quot;), I&#039;d suggest you check with more than one source....You&#039;re a joke among the professional theater, and with each and every &quot;article&quot; you post, you prove that your IQ doesn&#039;t even come close to those you continually slander and harass.  I think it&#039;s time people take a quick look into your sordid past, just to see what a nutcase they&#039;re truly dealing with.  What&#039;s funny to me is that you consider yourself a journalist, when in the &quot;real world&quot; in which the majority of us live,  whenever someone asks what the source is regarding information they repeated from one of your &quot;articles,&quot; they immediately roll their eyes and laugh when it&#039;s confirmed that you&#039;re the source.Congrats on making yourself look like more of a fool.  One can only hope that you are sued shirtless for your behaviour.Signed,
TruthTeller

Hey, Rose, I support Spunky. Period. She has to make tough calls, but I truly believe she gives folks a chance and is fair; she&#039;s tireless and dedicated and smart as a whip...Her media background and experience blows me away. One day, I may ask her to post her CV for all to see. She hardly fell off the turnip truck. So know if  I wasn&#039;t behind her 100 per cent, she wouldn&#039;t be here, and I appreciate folks working with her and each other to make this place and the forum a safe place to express ideas on all sides without attacking each other personally, or looking for demons because you&#039;ve got a chip on your shoulder about something. So play nice, and you won&#039;t go to the penalty box...like tonight! We like our Roses without too many thorns. --Art July 1</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AWWWWW NOW THAT&#8217;S A LOAD OF BULL DOOKIE RIGHT THERE ART ..</p><p>How is it fair that people who have been banned are allowed to continue to post while ole&#8217; Rose Red looks at a banned sign if I hit the forum button ..</p><p>Geez,..

As for you, Rose Red (post #143), I&#039;m sorry you feel slighted by the fact that you were banned, though I did so only after multiple attempts to have you tone down your comments, multiple posts removed after having been reported and reviewed for content, and multiple second chances were met with &quot;these are my opinions, and I won&#039;t apologize for them...if people don&#039;t like my posts then they don&#039;t have to read them.&quot;  With that, I&#039;ll simply allow those that read your posts (both here and in the forum), as well as those that hit the moderator button on so very many of them, to judge for themselves based on your comment to me here, as well as the comments you&#039;ve made to and about me (one such comment posted below from SM) to judge for themselves whether you deserved to be banned or not.  I wish you no ill will.
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Haleysnana ,..Yes, I was banned &amp; that is what happened to me &amp; the Monkeys took me in. I requested a review from Art &amp; from the looks, due to reading his response to me on the main site , that went as far as him asking 2Spunky what happened &amp; took it as the truth ..Comment # 146 currently ,.. From Art HArris to Rose - me, Rose Red , below link .http://www.artharris.com/2009/06/21/haleigh-exclusive-mystery-donor-revealed/#commentsBasically in the last paragraph it sounded as though he was between a rock &amp; a hard place on me being banned .. I understand he hired her to do a job &amp; if he undermines her authority then their working relationship isn&#039;t going to work out .He told me to give her a few days &amp; get back in touch .. All I know is that ARTs site is as much as my site as it could ever be 2Spunkys &amp; would like for him - ART to lay some ground rules down on his moderator as to exactly what it is that requires a poster to be banned ..I know for one that she had no business banning me while some of the Yahoos there continuiously run their yappers for absolutely no other purpose other than being obnoxious .. But I guess he will see when his forum has increasingly decreased numbers of members either joining , returning, participating or an increase of his loyal contributors being banned all together from his site ..------------
Thanks, again, Spunky...putting this here so no one will miss. The Bald Truth forum has taken off and now has a life of its own, thanks to all our dedicated readers and posters...At times, you will get on each others&#039;s nerves, even cross the line, but a ban means you went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the line of decorum and fair play. This is a work in progress, not scientific, and often a judgment call, and I find Spunky&#039;s judgment outstanding. She&#039;s gotten us through some turbulent seas, and is steering the forum in a solid, and positive direction. Again, I don&#039;t know many task force types who would admit to reading your ideas, but they do and we appreciate what they can tell us when they can and why they can&#039;t tell us what they won&#039;t...--Art </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To Cindy (post #139), and Ethel (post #144), thank you for your kind words &#8211; they are very much appreciated.  As for you, Rose Red (post #143), I&#8217;m sorry you feel slighted by the fact that you were banned, though I did so only after multiple attempts to have you tone down your comments, multiple posts removed after having been reported and reviewed for content, and multiple second chances were met with &#8220;these are my opinions, and I won&#8217;t apologize for them&#8230;if people don&#8217;t like my posts then they don&#8217;t have to read them.&#8221;  With that, I&#8217;ll simply allow those that read your posts (both here and in the forum), as well as those that hit the moderator button on so very many of them, to judge for themselves based on your comment to me here, as well as the comments you&#8217;ve made to and about me (one such comment posted below from SM) to judge for themselves whether you deserved to be banned or not.  I wish you no ill will.<br

/> Hello Haleysnana ,..</p><p>Yes, I was banned &amp; that is what happened to me &amp; the Monkeys took me in. I requested a review from Art &amp; from the looks, due to reading his response to me on the main site , that went as far as him asking 2Spunky what happened &amp; took it as the truth ..</p><p>Comment # 146 currently ,.. From Art HArris to Rose &#8211; me, Rose Red , below link .</p><p><a

I understand he hired her to do a job &amp; if he undermines her authority then their working relationship isn&#8217;t going to work out .</p><p>He told me to give her a few days &amp; get back in touch .. All I know is that ARTs site is as much as my site as it could ever be 2Spunkys &amp; would like for him &#8211; ART to lay some ground rules down on his moderator as to exactly what it is that requires a poster to be banned ..</p><p>I know for one that she had no business banning me while some of the Yahoos there continuiously run their yappers for absolutely no other purpose other than being obnoxious .. But I guess he will see when his forum has increasingly decreased numbers of members either joining , returning, participating or an increase of his loyal contributors being banned all together from his site ..</p><p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br
/> Thanks, again, Spunky&#8230;putting this here so no one will miss. The Bald Truth forum has taken off and now has a life of its own, thanks to all our dedicated readers and posters&#8230;At times, you will get on each others&#8217;s nerves, even cross the line, but a ban means you went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the line of decorum and fair play. This is a work in progress, not scientific, and often a judgment call, and I find Spunky&#8217;s judgment outstanding. She&#8217;s gotten us through some turbulent seas, and is steering the forum in a solid, and positive direction. Again, I don&#8217;t know many task force types who would admit to reading your ideas, but they do and we appreciate what they can tell us when they can and why they can&#8217;t tell us what they won&#8217;t&#8230;&#8211;Art</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
