some thoughts on K3vr and co's passion for attack

from ve7kfm.com


at the bottom of this post is his word entire look at the tripe

going on and on about a local council race in PA. Can anyone doubt that OCD stalking is going on


another to remember/see how much they hate their words being archived. but to agree with him it is rotten to see unkind and hatefull things in net forever like you guys claiming Todd is a pedo and signing you name crow do as I as I say not as I do sort of thing l;et alone what you guys have said about me


Ed Oswald Jr. was recently fired by BetaNews. Last we heard, Junior Oswald, as he's known in some circles, was a single blogger, sometime newbie snowboarder, living with his grandmother, collecting unemployment compensation, in Sinking Spring, PA.
After his dismissal from BetaNews, having difficulty finding full time work in the field of journalism, Junior Oswald apparently decided to take up a career in politics. Oswald was fired from his job as a "journalist" for good reasons. We expect Oswald will be equally successful in his political bid.


Here's Why:
In a campaign piece, Ed Oswald Jr. writes "We’ve just seen our sewer rates be increased by 114 percent (no thats not a typo), which I plan to campaign hard against, especially in light of the fact the federal stimulus money could be applied here which would negate the need for such a horrific increase.

Right now, borough residents pay $28 every 4 months for sewer service, or $112 per year. With the new increase, it will now be $20 per month, or $240 annually. Doesn’t seem like a lot — but heck in this economy any kind of increase in bills is a bad thing."

We are not sure why Federal stimulus monies should be applied to sewer fees in Sinking Spring, PA, however, one of our regular readers had this to say about Ed Oswald Jr's. campaign promise...


"Maybe if certain residents would pay their taxes/fees (instead of avoid/waiver out), like the trash fees, they wouldn't have to increase the sewer tax..."
We're not sure if our reader is referring to Ed Oswald Jr., who obtained a waiver for the trash fees and per capita tax in 1997, 1998, and 1999, or to his father, Ed Oswald Sr., who, according to Borough records, was also delinquent.

Others wrote in to question whether Junior Oswald, as a non home owner, living with his grandmother, collecting unemployment, has ever been responsible for a sewer bill. Responsibility, or lack thereof, seems to be a recurring theme where the young Mr. Oswald is concerned.

Celebrated Tech Writer, Ed Bott intimated Ed Oswald Jr. lacks credibility because he is sloppy, and unethical in his presentation. Ed Bott also felt compelled to slam Junior Oswald for publishing false statements.

We have the same problem with Oswald. So do many others. In fact, Oswald is notorious for his lack of credibility, and his apparent inability to use logic and reason to come to reasonable and sane conclusions.

Ed Bott concluded his review of Ed Oswald Jr.'s work with the following statement:


Remind me not to take BetaNews too seriously from now on, if this is the quality of their “reporters.”
Tom Reestman, a skilled technologist who was recently published in Salon, who is also a resident Apple expert at The Apple Blog, referred to Oswald's conclusions as false, disingenuous, and silly. Why did Reestman sum up Oswald's conclusions in this fashion?

Oswald blamed Apple for deleting his data, after Oswald closed his Apple 'MobileMe' account. Instead of backing up his data locally before killing the account, Oswald chose to blame Apple because they didn't save his data for him.

Reestman perfectly captured Oswald's helpless mindset. "Translation: I noticed there was a problem, but did nothing to analyze it or connect the dots." Referring to Oswald's apparent helplessness, Reestman concluded, "We’re not talking about a lot of work here, folks. More importantly, it’s the prudent thing to do because, well, I own this data; who else should I expect to do it?"

One commentor in the thread observed, "So basically Ed Oswald has a PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair) issue. Case closed."

We are in accord with tech author, Tom Reestman's opinion(s), as well as noted technologist, prolific book author, and former PC World Editor, Ed Bott's opinion(s) about Oswald.

Here are portions of yet another opinion, written by a noted expert in the field of consulting psychology.

Brian Crow has maintained a private practice in Counseling and Consulting Psychology for some 20 years. He has worked throughout the world, lecturing at schools, hospitals, and private clinics, and teaching at the University level. Crow has also served the public as Board Member of an inner city foundation benefitting African American youth, and as a Project Manager for the Department of Justice, and a Program Manager for the Department of Health and Human Services. Here is Brian Crow's advice to Ed Oswald Jr., written in February, 2009.

Ed,

Let me share a few thoughts with you. I personally know approximately 20 people who've objected to several of the behaviors you've engaged in as a matter of routine over the past couple of years.

Tom Whatley, Gerry Saelens, Bob Harrison, Ryan Jairam, Hank Segle, and Joe Lain, are just a few of them. Lee McVey, Joe Norris, and Charles Brabham also had comments in this thread, relative to what I'm going to discuss. I can't speak for any of them, and I would never presume to, but I can speak for myself.

I'll list these behaviors for you, which I've personally observed, for your consideration. This list isn't meant to demean you in any way, or to make you feel bad. It's simply meant as feedback that could be useful in your future interactions, in situations involving others, like amateur radio, journalism, and politics.

Again, these are just my observations; take them or leave them; this is not an attack, and; this is meant to be helpful, not hurtful.

You entered this thread in attack mode. You have a history of this behavior. When people rebut your (often) hostile, inaccurate, and/or distorted observations, you (often) get defensive, and you start whining.

Many of your unkind words here have been re-printed on at least one web page, one of which is infamous for delusional libel. "Delusional" in this case, is expressed in classical terms, meaning, divorced from reality. "Libel" is defined as harmful writing, of fraudulent provenance, having no basis in fact.

Most people naturally resent unkind, libelous, inaccurate words which appear to be archived on the net 'forever.'

When challenged, and asked to remove your comments, you've referred to their challenges as "threats" and have even made comments about "getting the police involved," which is not only naive, it's kind of silly, isn't it?

You've called other people liars, frauds, snitches, lunatics, hypocrites, and band cops, and you've publicly accused them of breaking federal law. These comments are all archived on the internet, yet, you portray yourself as a victim.

You associated yourself with a well known Canadian by engaging him on the air, and by joining his Yahoo group, the purpose of which, was solely to defame others. The group violated Yahoo terms of service, it was hateful, mean-spirited, and it was taken down by Yahoo. Yet, to this day, I've never seen you take responsibility for your actions. I've never seen any indication from you that your actions may have been ill-advised.

You've characterized people who've merely commented on information you've discussed publicly as having 'attacked' you somehow. Comments about things you have introduced into public debate, like spending too much time in your grandmother's basement, are not attacks, they're simply observations based in fact.

You appeared out of the blue, as a very inexperienced amateur, who had difficulty even constructing a simple, pre-packaged, vertical antenna, but you acted as though you had "all the answers." You still act as though you have all the answers. Unfortunately, your conclusions are often inaccurate, your accusations wrong, and many of your words, hurtful. As a rule, people react negatively to these behaviors. Can you honestly blame them?

You were banned briefly from this forum, and you took a break, but you came back, apparently, with the same attitudes and behaviors. You even admitted you broke the law by tuning up on top of another amateur, simply because he is outspoken in his dislike of your anti-American friend Karol.

You lied about a fellow amateur in a report to the FCC and you admitted you "sympathize" with a Canadian who wishes American's roadside bombs, at the hands of al Qaeda, who said the Virginia Tech Massacre was "a good start."

This is not the only site where people have gently tried to point out some of these problematic behaviors. Both Paul and Ryan, and others, have tried to help you, gently, but firmly, much as I'm attempting to do now.

Many of the comments posted by you, reside on a web page, right next to other harmful comments, which were invented by a person, or persons, who entered forums under false pretenses, using false names, making false claims.

On investigation, these harmful comments were removed by responsible moderators. Yet, they still exist on a page hosted by an associate of yours, right next to your comments, as some sort of phony testament for the woefully naive. The page where your comments are archived is inherently and demonstrably deceptive, libelous, and harmful.

I know the comments are yours, because you posted them here first, then they were removed. Next, they were copied, and posted on a distant server, where they still exist, today.

I think a person genuinely interested in 'peace' would contact the owner(s) of those blogs and pages and have those comments removed.

The mere association of your name, and your inaccurate, harmful comments, alongside comments posted under fraudulent pretenses, doesn't look good for your credibility, honesty and probity, all of which are a litmus test for public office (where honest politicians are concerned).

Take Todd Daugherty's webpage for instance. Do you realize Daugherty was thrown out of his public library for trafficking in animated images depicting children being tortured and raped by adults, or that Daugherty is under investigation, because he solicited murder-for-hire, yet Daugherty is endorsing your page, apparently because you have consistently defended Karol Madera? Are these folks the kind of people you'll be proud to present to the citizens of Sinking Spring, should you be elected to Council?

The fact is, Ed, your association with this person or persons creates an appearance of impropriety. I believe a wise man, one with a desire to enter a career in politics, would attend to this immediately.

The page where your comments are posted, is shared between a Canadian amateur and an amateur in Michigan (banned here and elsewhere) who falsely reported seven men to child protective services for "child pandering" when there were no facts present to back up his heinous allegations. Your comments, residing alognside the other (fraudulent) comments I mentioned, doesn't engender respect for you. Quite the contrary.

The Michigan man spends much of his time flooding usenet groups with thousands of delusional comments, preventing others from using the usenet service. He is a proven identity thief, who stole a man's name and email address, using it to post hundreds of harassing messages.

Like it or not, your documented association, cooperation, and participation in groups with people like this, affects how others perceive you.

Four of your associates (ve7kfm, n9ph, kj4dvd, n3zv) from the Yahoo group are banned from several sites. One used another person's callsign illegally, for years, another broke into a protected computer system, illegally, under false pretenses, stealing an elderly mans identity to post defamation. Another is an obscene and violent racist who calls on al Qaeda to kill Americans.

Crow finished his address to Oswald, calling on Oswald to make peace with those he had offended and libeled, asking Oswald to remove his harmful commentary from the Internet, and urging Oswald to reconsider his associations with nefarious elements of society.
