When Carty was in office his people would harrass people who said bad things about him in the Blade's (the local newspaper) opinion page.

Guess who I met when I went to vote tonight.

Wilkowski.

Plus, he's doing well right now. I'm actually rooting for him and wishing I had voted for him. Why?

Because he's one percentage point behind Jack Ford, the current and completely worthless, mayor. If he can climb past Ford, then Ford won't be able to run for re-election.

If anyone is an "asshat" then it is the administrator of this site. I will completely agree that Opal is a nutbag, however if you would like for new viewers of your website to continue visiting and send their friends to keep you entertained for years to come...maybe you should make sure your facts are straight. If you didn't have time to do your research why even try to post something since you are obviously an extremely busy person and well educated as well as informative. If you have things wrong from tiny little Toledo then I can be sure you have many things wrong with more interesting articles posted. Seriously.....you couldn't have done much research to have gotten some of this info wrong. Please, keep spreading ignorance and your self-righteous attitude. But anyway, have a nice day in your mom's basement next to old Christina Applegate poster.

Bzzzt! I'm sorry, you've been disqualified!

If you'd checked YOUR facts, you would have noticed that, in general, we just don't give a crap about you and your friends and what sites y'all visit.

Thanks for playing! Better luck next time.

This subject is so unimportant, there are only two types of people who could get that upset about it:

1. The candadates themselves or their families, at which point they are misrepresenting themselves because they have a vested interest.

2. Psychos.

Either way, I hope they have someone, somewhere who will take them seriously... because trying to flame on this little forum is not going to get them the approval they seek.

1. I was curious about where the peanut gallery was coming from in this thread, and did some poking around... turns out this thread appears on page 3 of a google search for "carty finkbeiner."

2. I didn't know these forum threads could be indexed by google.

3. While I was poking around, I see that porn and spam sites have figured out a way to infiltrate referals at the server statistics level. I didn't see that last month. Great.

In my referals are appearing porn websites, those fake search engines, etc. I know they aren't linking dtman.

Let me address the three visitors we've had from Toledo:

"Bill W." - Very well done. Easily understood and to the point. The only negative is that you defended a candidate, yet didn't return for any follow up questions. I still wanted to know why Keith endorsed Ford and then entered the race himself and bashed Ford, all within three days.

"lou" - Focus on that shift key lou. You also made the same mistake Bill made by defending a specific candidate yet dodged a more serious question about that same candidate. Also, you mistake me for the MSM. We here at dtman.com are an opinion site, not a news site. The morning I wrote that I got the entire story from a specific Toledo news source. That's pretty much all the research I need to do considering I'm not the press and I'm not making a salary to share my opinion with the world. Oh, and lou, I've worked for the MSM in Toledo and I know how often they do stories without checking anything yet I'd be willing to bet you never write them do you? Maybe because they say things you want to agree with?

"Third Toledo Resident" - Welcome to the web, it's obviously your first time here. I'm glad you could find your way out of the GUI that is AOL. Let me examine your post line by line, ok?

If anyone is an "asshat" then it is the administrator of this site.


Why? Technically there are two of us, but the guy who does it most of the time didn't write the post that has you all worked up, so why call him an asshat?

I will completely agree that Opal is a nutbag, however if you would like for new viewers of your website to continue visiting and send their friends to keep you entertained for years to come...maybe you should make sure your facts are straight.


As for the "facts", see my comments to "lou" above. As for the rest of this ramble, TPRJones is pretty correct when he said we don't give a fuck if you come here or not. We're not the media and we're not out to make money. We have a core group of regulars that we're content with and while we do welcome others to join us in debates, we'd rather they be a bit more able to actually discuss the issues rather than just poorly attempt to flame us.

If you didn't have time to do your research why even try to post something since you are obviously an extremely busy person and well educated as well as informative.


Again, see my post for Lou. Perhaps instead of jumping to conclusions, you should have asked where my information came from to see if maybe I was misinformed? Nah, why hold yourself to the same standard you expect others to live by?

If you have things wrong from tiny little Toledo then I can be sure you have many things wrong with more interesting articles posted.


Is English your third language? Following your logic, I'll assume that since you don't have a grasp of it, you don't have a grasp of many things in your life.

Seriously.....you couldn't have done much research to have gotten some of this info wrong.


Seriously, you're an idiot. What is wrong outside of one guy's name which Bill W. so politely pointed out earlier in the thread? It's pretty aparent that you're just pissed that you or your candidate got bashed in the front page post.

Please, keep spreading ignorance and your self-righteous attitude.


Maybe I should follow your example? Let's see how good an example you are by your next line.

But anyway, have a nice day in your mom's basement next to old Christina Applegate poster.


First of all, just a few sentences ago you said I was "obviously an extremely busy person and well educated as well as informative", yet now you try to imply that I'm some kid living in my parent's basement?

Just to let you know, only those who are complete idiots about the internet think that of most of its users. This isn't the early 90s. The web is now everywhere and if you don't get on this boat, you will be left behind.

Also, I'm not sure how old you are, but Christina Applegate hasn't been a sex symbol in over a decade. I doubt my wife would be happy if I hung a poster of a woman here in my office, but if I did it'd probably be Natalie Portman.

To sum up:
1. We're not the media.
2. We don't care if you read us or not, but if you want to comment feel free to do so. Debate us or ask questions, just be polite. I had a post ready to put on the main page regarding the mistake with Mr. Wilkowski's name, but then "lou" posted his speech and I figured if that was the type of person that Mr. Wilkowski had in his camp, he didn't deserve any apology. (On a sidenote, after meeting Mr. Wilkowski today I honestly hope he runs again as I did like him when I met him today. However, that doesn't mean I don't want an answer still about his quick flip flop on Ford.)
3. If you're going to debate facts, then bring facts.

If you don't like it, go start your own site.

Oh, and one last thing on this subject, it's officially Carty vs. Jack Ford for the Nov. 8th elections. (Source: WNWO)

I think another main page post about this is in our future.
