�book sales� aren�t off the ground because I�m a �CRAZY� blogswarm all by myself. I haven�t had time to do my worldwide book tour as a result. Maybe, just maybe someday I�ll find a bit of time to promote my already world renowned book.

Also, another reason I haven�t been able to do book promotion is that I am supposedly �CRAZY� because I�m not takin� whatever �meds� that Jerid Kurtz of the BS Blog prescribes (�Jerid� aka - Mr. Young Punk 1st-Year-Law-School student and supposed expert-on-everything who even thinks he�s a Psychiatrist and who likes to play grab-ass in New Hampshire because he could do it on Mary Jo Kilroy and Marian Harris� dime).

Finally, I simply can�t promote a book when I�m in the middle of building a website named:

ExposingOhioDINOdumbassDLCers.com

Right now I�m creating the David Leland and Chris Redfern �DLC Connections� Web page along with another web page named �Bloggers Talkin� in Circles� (a critique of the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB & Dumbers)

So, as you can see, the HICKMANIA !! crew is hoppin� with activity. Come join us if you dare� it�s a wild ride !!!

Bueye bueye PlunderDUMB Eric. It�s buddha belly trance tippy toe dancin� for you. Go relax by the babblin� brook with water washin� over rocks in your head.

Remember to repeat �OM� a zillion times in your quest to transcend into Nirvana and to become a gun-slingin� cowboy-ish of a blogger boxin� champ !!

You might even replace Ali as �The Greatest.� But, you�ll have to loose the Buddha belly first.

WTF Eric,

You should leave my email address confidential. That�s a low blow. This sort of behavior, on your part, is what makes me have absolutely no mercy with regards to how I deal with you. You�re scum of the earth, just like your blog bashin� buddies that you hang with.

Bill Sloat is entitled to his mainstream media professional Journalist’s opinion…

http://thebellwetherdaily.blogspot.com/2007/10/plain-dealer-and-jeff-cor...

… and a couple of your blogger “friends” are entitled to blog basher mob rule opinions:

http://www.buckeyestateblog.com/even_naugle_knows_peedees_a_buncha_douch...

Regardless, all this is great for your blog traffic. Wow, the last two days have been double of what would be normal and I’ll bet today will top em all !

http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s30ohiodaily&r=35

All said and done, I lean toward supporting Bill Sloat on this one. What real standing does blog bashin’ censorship masters like Russell/Jerid’s BS Blog and Eric’s PlunderDUMB have to ridicule the PD for doing the exact same thing Russell/Jerid and Eric do on a regular basis? The BS Blog and PlunderDUMB “slam and ban” anyone who posts anything contrary to their narrow-minded hack master beliefs.

This is truly an example of two pots calling the kettle black… gimme a break!!

Jeff, if you’re going to criticize the PD and Bill Sloat in the present, you should have been publicly criticizing the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB all along. It’s not like you’ve not been informed. Cindy Zawadzki, Lisa Renee Ward, Andrew Warner, myself and others have been complaining about the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB for a long time.

You chose to remain quiet because I assume you consider Russell and Eric “friends.” But now you want everyone to support you when something similar happens to you. You even expect us to support you over a seasoned professional Journalist named Bill Sloat.

I’m really, really sorry Jeff. I like you, but I simply can’t bring myself to do that after you have consistently remained so quiet regarding the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB.

I love your blog and I believe you’re one of the most honest and informative bloggers in the Ohiosphere, but I simply can’t bring myself to be against Bill Sloat when his position is the most valid, especially when all the mob rule blog bashers are trying to rev-up everyone in a crude, inappropriate and unjustified manner.

But, then again… it is great for your (and their) blog traffic… but is it justified?

I have my questions and my doubts.

I’m sorry you lost your job at the PD and I truly want to see your Ohio Daily Blog flourish and prosper. But, I wish you’d cease being a passive enabler of the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB’s dysfunctional idiotic antics.

Your passive tacit support for the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB is just as damaging to the Ohiosphere as their loud-mouthed blog bashin’ and bannin’ censorship fest. As we speak, you are allowing them to capitalize on your situation to help them increase traffic to their almost dead in the water blogs.

Where is PlunderDUMB in these “influence” rankings? Also, look how far Jerid has allowed Buckeye State Blog to fall compared to Russell’s once stellar #1 or #2 rank

http://www.blognetnews.com/ohio/influence-index.php

I bet your Ohio Daily Blog will be #1 next week, but will you sustain it or will you allow yourself to be dragged down based on association and/or passively enabling dysfunction of the BS Blog and/or PlunderDUMB?

WWDHD, who said I don�t work? Since when does being self-employed equate with being unemployed. Also, are you actually trying to say I don�t have �volunteer positions�� gimme a break.

As for educational commitments? hmmm I take classes at OSU and other continuing education. So you were a �poll worker?� Well, I was an Independent Observer/Challenger at the Franklin County Board of Elections during the �06 election, provisional/absentee sorts and recounts.

If I�m so negligible and unimportant because I�m �NOT a blogger� and don�t �have a blog,� then why do you find it important to write such a long reply to me ??

I didn�t say I didn�t believe in giving credit where credit is due. Neither the Kerry Campaign nor the ODP gave any credit to Meetup organizers, including me, for our hard work for a year and a half. But what was worse was how they impolitely tried to take over the Meetups without consulting organizers or the members.

There was never a problem with organizers being able to �understand their core message.� Rather, the Kerry Campaign brought people in from out-of-state who did not want to deal with the locals unless they had to. Obviously they had to deal with me and five other organizers, but they didn�t like what they found so they influenced the keeper of our email lists to turn the lists over to them. In other words, the Kerry Campaign and ODP stole email lists that took us a year and a half to build.

However, we maintained control of the Meetup website. So, when the Kerry people refused us access to our own email lists, we divided the Meetups into multiple smaller groups all around Columbus (from 4 venues to 8 venues). When they continued to deny us access to our email lists, we divided the Meetups from 8 venues into 12 venues to spread them even more across Columbus.

So, our Meetups fell apart much slower than the Kerry Campaign and ODP desired. They wanted to kick all of us out, in a premeditated way, in order to place their people in charge. We, as grassroots organizers, rebuked their top-down takeover to the best of our ability because they were neither considerate to the organizers nor did they consult (or poll) the membership (like we did).

So, if polling and listening to our Meetup members makes me a �crappy leader,� I�d rather be that than an arrogant and obnoxious out-of-state college kid, taking orders from above, who knew nothing about us and who showed little sign that they relly cared.

So, yes, I did help organize 1500 people along with five other organizers. But we did it on our own, with no support or help from any campaign, political party or any other outside organization (except Meetup.com). We did NOT act similar to the League of Young Voters which constantly piggybacks on other groups and sucks their energy and resources. We were also different from America Votes Ohio because we were totally grassroots without the hundreds of thousands of grant dollars that America Votes Ohio receiveS to fund their operations.

With that in mind, I�d say that we as Meetup organizers were better than people like Lorraine Bieber (Young Voters and now Progress Ohio) Scott Nunnery (America Votes) and/or Karen Gasper (DFA and now America Votes)

Regarding Fitrakis and Arnebeck, my only connection to them has been related to election reform and election protection. I was neither a part of the Free Press, nor Fitrakis� run for Governor, nor their respective legal practices. I worked with Alex Rodriguez, Connie Harris and Victoria Parks to originate two things.

1) The Progressive Ohio Backbone Campaign - which had the mission of demanding that the Ohio Democratic Party get a backbone. Some used to say �get a spine or resign� in reference to ODP Chair Denny White.

2) The Second Saturday Salon - which was our main monthly progressive get-together for progressive activists and supporters. We regularly averaged over 100 attendees, but surpassed 150 a couple of times.

I am not involved with either of these activities anymore because Alex Rodriguez decided to move back to New York City and one of our main attorneys fell ill. This diminished our ability to fund and manage these activities. However, Fitrakis and Wasserman�s Free Press keeps the Second Saturday Salon going on a much smaller scale than when I was part of organizing it for election reformers.

Regarding #3) Re:Pay to Say - No, I�m not making any blanket statements regarding �anyone who has the guts to put their opinions and ideas online.� If I were, I�d be accusing myself because I have �the guts to put my opinions and ideas online� but I�m not receiving �pay to say.�

On the contrary, I am very specific about those I accuse of �pay to say.� These people are Todd Hoffman, Bryan Clark, Eric Vessels, Russell Hughlock, Jerid Kurtz, Jill Miller Zimon, Dave Harding, Lorraine Bieber and maybe Peter Koltak (2010_Buckeye). I may have accused a couple others, but their names aren�t coming to my mind at the moment.

I�m not familiar with the �COBAC� acronym stands for and thus I cannot decipher the man you are trying to describe.

I do not spend most of my life �making off base accusations and belittling hardworking people.� Instead, I expose people who use others to line their own pockets or inappropriately further themselves in some other way. Also, I call-out people who lie, manipulate information, use propaganda techniques and/or are thieves. This is not �lame.� But, you being anonymous is lame and chicken-shitish. Thus, I will continue to believe you are an �AssHat.�

Regarding my �pretty girls� comment. It seems you are trying to make me into some sort of sexist or something worse. I only referred to two people with this tag, not every woman in the world. Regarding Lorraine Bieber and Karen Gasper, I believe my references are appropriate and accurate in both of their cases, IMO.

I don�t view myself as a �creepy old man� and I�m not even sure what the word �oogled� means in this context. The reason you may view these girls as having good intellect and work ethic could be because you are as manipulative and narcissistic as them. But, how could I know this when you insist on writing here anonymously?

In my opinion both of these young girls manipulate good grassroots volunteers to further their own careers and they also use their good looks as a way to do the same.

I don�t view myself as being �destructive� as opposed to �constructive.� Instead, I view myself as if I�m pulling out all the weeds that steal nutrients from everything good.

Apparently you feel differently WWDHD� C�est la vie� I feel no guilt. You�re a weed that needs pulled !!

Eric, stand and clap all you want�

What you initially suspected about my reply to WWDHD turned-out to be completely untrue which is NOT unusual regarding the files I keep of false assertions and malicious claims you have been making about me since early 2006.

One of my beefs with you is your tendency of being far too melodramatic. I mean, what the heck do you gain by describing something this way?:

�Anyone who has ever called bullshit on his antics endures such wrath and we wear them proudly like blog badges of courage.�

gimme a break Eric� �blog badges of courage� ???

BWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Is this anything like your high plains drifter OK Corral shoot-out across the river or the nirvana water running over the meditative rocks in your head?

Your next paragraph is near completely wrong. The only issue I�ve had at Vic�s Midnight Cafe was asking a former employee, who got fired over a year ago, to leave the premises after closing. This kid proceeded to kick-in a door that leads to an apartment and offices upstairs. The owner of Vic�s Cafe lives in the apartment. He was concerned at first because I was the one who asked the kid to leave. But, the incident was on video and audio. So, there�s no problem between Vic�s owner and I.

Eric, I don�t know who gave you this sketchy, incomplete and false information. It is obvious that it has gone through the grapevine about 5 times removed. However, you might tell your source that I have a whole hell of a lot more details that I could publicly reveal about this incident, including the video and audio.

I NEVER have been �kicked out� of Vic�s. In fact, I have open access to 1/6 of the entire Vic�s complex for anything I want to do in it (24/7). Thus, the owner of Vic�s and I are fine. You�re also wrong about Vic�s not being able to get the BS Blog on our wireless internet. But honestly, no one wants to go there anymore since Jerid took it over. So, Jerid can go ahead and block the IP address if he chooses.

One more thing, you may consider Connie Harris your �friend,� but I�m damn near sure that she would NEVER say the same about you !!

Damn Eric, you are accusing me of �trying to disrupt yet another progressive event� but the reality of the situation was you were unduly controlling free speech by deleting a wiki discussion board related to the RootsCamp event.

The only thing I can be accused of is exercising my wiki rights to dispute your deletion by replacing it every time you deleted it. If you were being fair here, you could honestly say that I created an inconvenience for you. But my intent was to protect free speech, not to disrupt the RootsCamp event. Are you claiming that you somehow read my mind to determine my intent was to disrupt the RootsCamp event� NO !! � FREE SPEECH is much more important than the little event Progress Ohio hosted to hack for Mary Jo Kilroy.

Do I have to provide the link and/or my screen save to show everyone what you were deleting? You may have deleted the original page, but it got into the cache and can be accessed through google.

WTF do you mean about �stalking ProgressOhio� ?? You better back this one up dillweed. The Ohio Honest Electons Office used to be a couple blocks away and I stopped-in to talk to you and/or Rothenberg 4 or 5 times because I was walking by. Also, at a later date, I attended one meeting there for the Iraq Summer group. Also, I stopped in to get antiwar signs once from Dave Harding. You�re a freakin� fruitcake to even suggest that I stalk these offices� my God Eric, I don�t even know why I�m trying to answer you here. You�re a ridiculous fool.

For your information Eric, Matt and I are not buddies. I don�t blatantly spread around false information about him or challenge him to boxing matches like you, but he and I would disagree on quite a bit regarding our political ideologies. It�s just that he doesn�t go around acting like a tippy toe buddah belly dancing dumbass like you and I can at least recognize that he�s doing something well regarding how he runs a blog that has consistently been ranked #1 in influence on BlogNetNews.com

Where�s PlunderDUMB Blog ?? No where to be found. You�re losing it Eric. You really are.

http://www.blognetnews.com/ohio/influence-index.php

Eric, as I said earlier to WWDHD, I may not be a �blogger� but you�re sure as heck writing a bunch of crapola here trying to slander me. And remember, I�m sure Matt won�t delete anything slanderous that you write about me.

Eric, DUDE� WHO THE HECK ARE YOU TO SUGGEST ANYTHING TO ME. I honestly don�t care if you think I should start a blog or not. I�ll do it if I choose, not because you suggested it.

You�re ridiculous to suggest that I would even think about buying you a beer, especially at Winking Lizard (a fitting place to symbolize your persona).

Would you say that you going to �greener pastures� away from Progress Ohio was �distancing� on Rothenberg�s part. Well, that�s what I heard (from a reliable source). BWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The only �distancing� that happened related to Fitrakis and Arnebeck had to do with the situation related to Alex Rodriguez moving back to New York city. Actually that had nothing to do with Fitrakis. But, it did change a lot of things and most of it was for the worst regarding everyone involved.

But DUDE, let�s compare our �distancing�

I was a volunteer for Rodriguez and Arnebeck.
Your salary was over 50k per year with Rothenberg

BWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH � I WIN !!!

RootsCamp did not equal �greener pastures� for Eric !!

Eric, maybe you and Marian Harris should start hanging out together to plot strategy against me !!

Submitted by David B Hickman Jr on Thu, 11/01/2007 - 3:21pm.

as long as it doesn’t come at the expense of good people who genuinely are trying to contribute and participate as blog readers and commenters.

However, I was instantly blog bashed in early 2006, when I started writing about how the ODP and Democrats in general have been neglecting the issues of election fraud, election reform and election protection.

Although you were not directly part of this mob rule gang-up of blog bashin’ and bannin’ against me and my colleagues, your so-called “friends” masterminded an all-out attack by attempting to marginalize and neutralize just about everything we tried to write.

So, I decided to send emails to you and your so-called “friends” instead of posting public comments. But this wasn’t a good enough compromise for Todd Hoffman (Lie & Earn-ODP), Bryan Clark (BS Blog-ODP), Russell Hughlock (BS Blog-OH Treasurer Cordray), Eric Vessels (PlunderDUMB-Progress Ohio), George Nemeth (Brewed Fresh Daily-Meet the Bloggers), Scott Piepho (Pho’s Akron Pages-Carnival of Ohio Politics), Jason “Redhorse” (Psychobilly Democrat) and/or Tim Russo (defunct Democracy Guy Blog).

All of the above were part of so much public criticism, related to the emails that I sent, that their collective influence attracted others to jump on the anti-Hickman bandwagon. People like Jill Miller Zimon, Chris Baker, Jerid Kurtz, Peter Koltak, ModernEsquire and last but not least Lorraine Bieber started making negative comments about me simply because of the influence of the dastardly work of the original blog basher crew.

Well, I’m still standing… like it or not… and I still strongly believe that there was significant election fraud during the 2004 election that the ODP and elected Democrats continue to deny. Also, I now contend that Jennifer Brunner, Mark Dann and the ODP are handling the issues of election reform and election protection with kids gloves which has little or no real effect except to serve as token gestures that generate surreal talking points for them to act like they’re actually doing something.

But, the gang-up tactics continue as do blogger bashin’ and bannin’ These basher bloggers are in denial about the fact that the current crop of Democrat office holders are little better than the Republicans they replaced. Given all the Democrats’ past talking about the Republicans’ “culture of corruption,” I sense very little effort by the currently elected Democrats to improve the situation very much.

I confirm that you “tried to stay out of the continual feuds and controversies between bloggers.” However, if you’re willing to lash out at the PD for cutting your legs out from under you, then you should at least understand why my colleagues and I have deep resentment for what the blog bashers initiated against us.

I don’t believe that you are currently trying to be a “traffic whore” similar to how the BS Blog and PlunderDUMB constantly engage themselves. I only brought up this topic to raise awareness about how they are motivated by something other than reporting the truth. They will isolate, alienate, marginalize, belittle and even threaten anyone if they believe it will increase their ability to draw traffic to their blogs.

I’ve ALWAYS respected you and your work Jeff and I’ve never felt that you directly disrespected me. However, I do have to wonder how you feel getting treatment from the PD similar to what I have received from the blog bashers.

I certainly know now that sending out emails is a sin in the blog bashers eyes. Should I repent my sins? Sing hallelujah? Should I get on my knees and pray?? …

… No !!

WE WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN … NO NO !!

[…] content with a highly successful book and subsequent tour, our own Dave Hickman has decided to branch out and star in films. His first […]

No Anthony,

Cindy has a right to have a �beef� with you AND Susan as well as Veronica Johnson.

Obviously, Susan has demonstrated that she does not know how to play with the �grown-ups� (words she used with me to belittle Kucinich a while back).

I�m not sure about Susan, but I absolutely know that Anthony and Veronica did everything in their power to dissemble the Northeast Ohio 2004 Meetup groups. They�d go emailing and spamming message boards trying to convince everyone to abandon their small neighborhood Meetups in favor of combining into one �HUGE MODA BAR MEETUP.� I witnessed numerous message board complaints regarding Anthony and Veronica.

This year, Anthony and Susan did similar schlock work by over-promoting bogus internet polls which had the votes rigged in favor of Wesley Clark and against Dennis Kucinich. Regarding this, Anthony and Susan were being patted on the back by Jerid at the BS Blog and Vessels at Plunder_Dumb Blog.

When I called out Anthony and Susan, all they did was lie about the poll being rigged. Then, Jerid at the BS Blog conveniently did another bogus poll to falsely try to back up the false claims that Anthony and Susan�s BlueOhioan poll were revealing.

Jeez, Susan Meara sounds like Tim R-U-S-S-O regarding the tone and content of her attack on Cindy. I�m just waiting for �Pounder� (Russell Hughlock) to to start jumping up-and-down and screaming (in his trademark British accent) that Cindy runs a �trash blog� and that she�s on the level of the devil or whatever horrendous image he can manipulate regarding a false presentation of what Cindy represents.

After that Plunder_Dumb Eric Vessels can do his tippy-toe buddha belly dance into the blogger pile-up and start challenging everybody to a boxin� match and/or a shoot-out at the OK Corral. But, not before Mr. Plunder_DUMB meditates into a nirvana inducing cross-legged yoga mantra chant by repeating the word �OM� eighty thousand times as he lays next to a river.

Oh Cindy� why do we even bother ?? Anthony Fossaceca, Susan Meara and Veronica Johnson are all the lowest form of political hacks imaginable (similar to R-U-S-S-O ??). The only gigs they can get are either working for or promoting candidates and causes that have little or no chance of being successful.

Rosemary Palmer should have her head examined for one reason and one reason only. Who in the heck in their right mind would EVER sign a check to pay Anthony Fossaceca for doing ANY kind of political work ?? He is undeserving as much as he is unprofessional and severely inexperienced.

Hey ANTHONY� why don�t you go out and organize a HUGE MODA MEETUP that is actually Anti-Kucinich rather than Pro-Palmer. You absolutely hate Kucinich way more than you have any love for Palmer (but she�s the naive dupe signing your pay checks).

Whatever happened to the MODA Bar Anthony ???

BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

… get ready for Anthony, Susan and Veronica�s MELODRAMATIC production in response to this post� it should be action packed !!!!!

Three words for Eric �Plunder_DUMB� Vessels�

YOU ARE STUPID !!

[…] - it’s not called that for nothing you know!), you will have noticed an insane amount of Hickmania™ in the comments there. Apparently it was too much to bear and was dragging down another […]

Plunder_DUMB Eric strikes out again (as usual) trying to impress Mr. Lie and Earn Todd Hoffman and the supposed �big boi� Bryan Clark at the Ohio Democratic Party.

Oh, and lest we forget the bashin� and bannin� klan at THE BS Blog as well as Progress Ohio�s ex �Plunder Monkey� cheerleader named Lorraine Bieber who claims to be one of Plunder_DUMB Eric�s BEST past �Plunder Monkeys.�

Give Plunder_DUMB Eric a boxin� match or shoot-out at the OK Corral and he�s happy.

But, he�s still gonna try to reach nirvana by blobbing his blubber about during buddha belly dancin� and/or chanting �OM� a hundred thousand times as a babbling brook�s water rambles through the rocks in his head.

No brains there for Plunder_DUMB� just a bunch of fat dumbass rocks that live to box !!

Hello

I just wanted to thank you once again for allowing me a voice on your hit blog.
With that said I felt you would be sympathetic to the issues of censorship.

Progress Ohio has shut me down today, without warning or explanation.
I posted a tragic video of US soldiers throwing a puppy off a cliff and this post was removed twice and now my account is shut down. Before posting the second time I wrote Dave the web-master and he never replied. So I posted it again.

Those post still can be seen here

http://www.blognetnews.com/ohio/

but the links are dead.

Any help or publicity in this matter of free speech would be awesome! Thanks again, James.
Here is the unfortunate sad video:

Wow, there has been a double earthquake in the Ohiosphere. Jerid ditches BSB in order to chase ambulances…

AND…

I actually agree with something Eric writes. Jill, you are one to talk about lacking “journalistic integrity.” Your writing is almost always slanted to either a Jewish or a female or a white suburbanite bias and many times all three !! What you write has “zero to do with the article and everything to do with” your incurable narcissism.

That is why I object to you claiming to be a “citizen journalist.” You are nothing of the kind!!

I generally agree with Eric related to this one specific situation. Of course we all know that he and I disagree more often than not. However, this has more to do with his “PlunderDUMB” bumbling buddha boxing shenanigans which are ridiculous, IMO.

Latest in the Hickmania saga. These are from spam and originate from a public library (his MO). Since this is the official repository of all things Hickmania, let me add the latest:

Ericsadumbfuck | kissoffbiatch@yahoo.com | IP: 66.213.29.2

Everything you accuse WMD of, can equally be said about you and your PlunderChumps. Dude, the only reason you’re read is because people want to refresh their memory about how not to look stupid like you.

It is true that you are not a “liberal pussy.” In fact, you are not ideologically “liberal.” Also, you constantly overcompensate trying not to be viewed as a “pussy.”

By doing the above, you are not viewed as the proverbial blue collar macho “manly man.” Instead you are viewed as an overweight mush mouthed simpleton who in fact does not represent the values of most people you claim to represent in the Democratic Party.

You’re not doing anyone any favors by ranting and raving around the blogs using every cuss word available to human kind. This sort of language does not make you a man. It just shows you are either nearly illiterate or you have an extremely limited unintellectual vocabulary.

Go away Eric. Nobody likes you. Not even your alleged butt pumping buddies like Tim Russo. He just tolerates you to make his obnoxious rants seem somewhat acceptable. He’d kick your friendship away in a second, if he wasn’t in his own hot water with just about every blog and every politician in the state.

The lefty lady bloggers have already decried your misogynistic and sexist manners and regularly ridiculed you for high testosterone blogging.

Is it any wonder chump chicken?

#2 - Eric Vessels (Plunderbund blog) is as much of a lunatic as Tim Russo. Eric and Tim are blog buddies. Thus, when Vessels tries to prop Russo, it is about as meaningless as having a “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” film character do the same.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Flew_Over_the_Cuckoo’s_Nest_(film)

In addition, Vessels can’t seem to get many Plunderbund blog posts written without using misogynistic sexually conotated vulgar words. George Carlin (RIP) probably would have been offended by Vessels sordid language.

The above is true because, Carlin was an overwhelmingly intelligent and comedic man, while Vessels always (and I mean always) looks like a fat foul mouthed fool, just like his crude ass raving lunatic boy loving buddy named Tim Russo.

Tim and Eric have misguided ability to abuse people in more ways than one. They never own up to their faults. Instead they constantly seek weaknesses to pounce on regarding every person they encounter.

Tim was arrested for his sexual abuse of children and was later hammered by national, state and local blogs and mainstream media because Tim is absolutely obnoxious and a total loon. This is why at least three of Tim’s blogs have drained down the main drain into oblivion.

Eric’s simple-minded BlunderPunk Blog is nothing if it doesn’t have at least twenty hidiously ridiculous and out-of-context vulgar words printed in ALL CAPS with multiple melodramatic exclaimation points (!!!!!!)

All the worlds a stage for Eric but him depicting reality has taken an unfortunate back seat in his world. Eric has proven to be a beastly but benign blog jester at best. In actuality, Eric is more like a diseased carrier of unsubstantiated gossip, as long as it gets him a few undeserved hits on his uninformative BlunderPunk excuse for a website.

Call him for what he is:

His name is Scott Piepho, an unemployed attorney who stays at home to take care of his kids while his wife brings home the bacon.

Scott is a frustrated nervous bundle of caffiene laced nerves who sits around in dirty pajamas believing he is the Chief of the “blog police” for the Ohiosphere.

PiePHO hangs out with the PlunderDUMB Crew, including Eric Vessels as well as the BS Bloggers of Todd Hoffman, Jerid Kurtz, Russell Huglock and whoever is trying to impersonate the above BS Bloggers currently.

Pho also rubs shoulders with Jill Miller Zimon, Womyn Extra-Ordinaire and distributor of all news about the Jewish faith and culture. PiePHO also hangs with Jason Haas of Psychobilly Democrat.

Pho has never been known for being all that bright. He just likes to hear himself pontificate (or see his tirades in writing). If you tell Scott it is black he’ll say it is white (you know the type - always controversial). PiePHO comes off as a cranky little twit who has to bounce up and down just to be seen and heard.

By the way, PiePHO is not necessarily “church going” in the traditional sense. If I remember right, he is a Unitarian Universalist which is a fairly different belief system than traditional Christian beliefs.

Definition:
“The Unitarian Universalists are the result of a merger between the Universal Church of America (founded in 1779) and the American Unitarian Association (founded in 1823). Members are not asked to profess any creed and congregations welcome theists, nontheists, pagan, Christians, and religious seekers of all sorts. An emphasis is placed upon freedom of belief and intellectual curiosity.”

Boo hoo hoo PlunderDUMB. What’re you going to try and do, box me?

Bwahahahaha! Bwahahahaha!

People can tell when you viciously attack my good reputation. If it weren’t for you, play time russo, the BS bloggers (when they are writing), Blog Cop Scott Piepho, Jill “Mad Mommy” Zimon, Big Boi Bryan, Todd Hoffman and Chris Redfern’s Ohio unDEMOCRATIC Party, maybe we’d actually have a chance for a liberal future in Ohio. Keep laughing chump. Just like your frat boy friends.

Eric, it is obvious you published my information. YOU, the one who tried to run me down at Victorian’s Midnight Cafe then you harrassed the manager until she told you where I live. In the end, you came to my house uninvited, you stood on my porch and knocked on my door despite knowing that you were unwelcome. You should be glad I didn’t open that door. You were threatening me on MY property… YOU STUPID MF.

Eric, YOU regularly cross both legal and ethical lines in numerous ways, with numerous people. Don’t project blame regarding your wrong-doings onto others… especially me. YOU are the one itching for a unecessary and unproductive physical altercation with various people. YOU provoke it, YOU search for ways to make confrontation happen, YOU pester people and finally you go out of your way to show your ass (both online and in-person).

There are plenty of people who would attest to you abusing people with “high testosterone” methods. The lefty women bloggers forced you to sit through a whole RootsCamp session related to trying to get bloggers like you to be more professional and tone down your testosterone.

YOU, Eric have absolutely NO room to even debate this. Your escapades have been well documented and archived by many. Tread lightly biatch !!

[…] It appears Dave Hickman (David B. Hickman Jr.), better known now as Hickmania among the leftysphere in Ohio has had his cage rattled. He’s on the loose battling both progressives and the demons in his head alike. The latest incident with John Quinn and the PeeDee’s focus on the wrong phone number being published seems to have provided the perfect jumping off point for his outlandish rants and disjointed screeds. It’s all pretty well documented in the official Dave Hickman Hickmania thread here at PB. […]
