YES!!! 100% You DO have the right to exercise free speech either anonymously or not.

The bigger question is should Crawford be reported to the federal government. It is illegal to intentially gain access to information whether it is a "glitch" or not. I find the use of the word "Glitch" inappropriate. I have used this forum alot and never had someone's information like IP address "popup" on my screen, which would indicate he went looking for a way into this information.

THIS IS SERIOUS AND SHOULDN'T BE DISMISSED!

Additionally,

I read in the paper that Crawford may have put some of this information up on his website. If so what is his website address. I think it would be prudent to contact his hosting provider and inform them of the situation and give them a link to the article. He very well may have violated his TOS with them as well by posting that information.

Hi Stonefree,

Dwayne's Web site has been taken down, as of last week.

That is good. It is such a shame that someone who can, on one hand, gain the trust of people to elect him to the council, can turn around and violate that trust so easily.

That there was some mighty interestin' readin' in that link up yonder, Stonefree! Pappy don't know 'bout that illegal part yet, but I do know Crawford done violated the trust o' the people big time.

Mighty accomodatin' of him to email the evidence ag'in hisse'f to ever'body an' his brother, too. Hee hee! "Look what I did 'cause I'm smarter'n y'all!"

He needs to step down now. But don't leave town just yet...

I think we all know that is not going to happen, no matter how glorious the flights of fancy our minds might make or how vainglorious the clamorous voices of political melodrama and theater.

I rather suspect that many of the rather strong feelings against both of the two current town council members really is simply nothing more than a continuation of bitter feelings from the losing side at the hands of voters in the last election.

Given their political philosophy on taxes and parks and the role of government, it is doubtless the 'CC' candidates could ever have done a single thing which would have found favor with (m)any of the voices now rising with the demand they resign so a former status quo in the political order could be instantly reestablished and everyone could then march in lockstep without dissent or division.  

It is political drama at both its best and worst with equal parts comedy and tragedy. With neither side seeing their own role in this melodramatic political play any clearer than their failure in not seeing the role of the other clearly.

What no one seems to see, is that the other side has nothing to lose and your side has nothing to gain. And that is true for both sides. And that is what makes this all so sad.

I believe we have the right to post anonymously. A few reasons... This forum allows it, freedom of speech, this is America, I bought this computer, I pay for my internet access, I pay my taxes (I believe I said that in another section LOL). It takes someone that has nothing else better to do to sit at home nights on end (wonder how many nights, or weeks, or months it took?) to hack into the forum and find a "glitch." How would all of us normal posters know that there was a "glitch?" We wouldn't, because we are here to post and have fun. Not to snoop around, hack (which is ILLEGAL by the way, DUH!), and try to ruin lives. I don't know how it would ruin lives tho... Anywho that's my opinion. We all have one.;)

Wouldn't it be a ironic twist o' fate if Dwayne ended up workin' on a Sheriff's work crew pickin' up trash at the park?

I must agree with others who've posted here. I've never thought about who is posting, and while I have learned the identity of some (when they chose to tell me) it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I like the exchange of ideas, regardless of who is exchanging them. I can agree, or disagree, with someone without knowing who it is. The anonymity probably helps facilitate some of the exchange, because we don't get all wrapped up in who said what in terms of what we already know, or think we know, about that person.

Does anyone have a link to Dwayne Crawford's website?  Also, are they any links where he's exosed the IP addresses of users of this forum?

I'd like to post this story on a National News website and need some some corroborating links to support the threats. 

Thanks

Wouldn't it be more fun to have the 'hanging' tomorrow and then start the trial on Tuesday?

I guess about any day now the Federal Marshalls should be swooping down on Summerfield in search for this desperado? Have ya'll tipped off the local and national TV stations yet for this big upcoming event?

But still, a good old high tech lynching (as Justice Thomas once noted) by the Summerfield 'Mob' (er, posse) would still put the face of Summerfield justice on this heinous crime. You can always have a 'trial' later if anyone gets overly concerned about innocence and guilt and proof and evidence and such other silly stuff.

Gosh, while you're at it, why not hang a few of those other citizens who are or might be opposed to parks and opposed to paying taxes at the same time? That'd teach 'em a thing or too about messin' with the 'justice system' and 'powers that be' that run Summerfield and it would guarantee the town made the national news for sure. Think of how much fun that would be......

Which day this week can we expect him to be handcuffed and taken to jail Pappy? Surely them Fed boys aren't going to leave a dangerous criminal like that running loose and victimizing the public?

Here's hoping that you and Patti Stokes will keep us all abreast of this imminent arrest!
