OK, so I lost in the Court of Appeals. It was reported in the newspaper and on the radio. It's interesting that the radio reported it before the decision was officially released to the public but that's the way life is. Sometimes justice prevails sometimes it don't. I continue to sleep well.
This is a comment I deleted from a thread and then was criticized by the writer later with the claim that he had not written anything that was untrue or out of place.
"I would like to see a topic about WAB losing his case in the court of appeals, and costing the County 10s of thousands of dollars. This post shouldn't be removed because nothing defamatory or untrue is written in it. If it is removed, it shows how WAB will dish out lies and slander about others, but can't handle the truth about himself. Is it true that he has been arrested multiple times? Yes. Did he lose his case and cost us thousands of dollars? Yes. Are there records and proof of both? Yes. I agree with the poster at 6:55pm. WAB has a very unfair way of choosing what is appropriate to be on here, and what he deems as needing to be removed. Monday, October 17, 2011 7:55:00 PM"
If anyone would like to suggest a topic for discussion I will be glad to post it as long as it meets the guidelines. This is a long standing policy that has not changed and does not require any threats or stupid attempts to manipulate. It may take awhile, if you do not submit the text for your topic, depending on what other things I am involved with. Not being the best or fastest typist it takes an average of over fifteen minutes after I see your request for me to read your request, type it proof read and post it. Patience maybe a virtue but it's in short supply among the self centered.
What was the monetary cost to the county for this procedure? It's been reported to be over $35,000.00 just for attorney fees, but why? My attorney charged $200.00 an hour the county attorney charged $150.00 an hour yet her bill was over twice the total of my attorney. The question has been raised as to whether the county actually paid for two attorneys instead on only the one that was authorized. Now, ask how much does the county spend each year on public defenders, why is there no outrage about that enormous expense. I challenged an unfair and illegal action my a county agency and used my own money. The county officials could have simply admitted they were wrong as they did when they were under oath and the matter would have been resolved but they chose to deny what they admitted under oath and therefore the expense. A drug dealer is caught and county money is used to prosecute and defend yet the chief complainer against me has said nothing about that cost to the county. Seems a bit disingenuous to me.
The poster claimed, "This post shouldn't be removed because nothing defamatory or untrue is written in it. If it is removed, it shows how WAB will dish out lies and slander about others, but can't handle the truth about himself. Is it true that he has been arrested multiple times? Yes. Did he lose his case and cost us thousands of dollars? Yes. Are there records and proof of both? Yes."
Not only has the poster written defamatory and untrue things they offer nothing in support of such outrageous claims. While I challenge anyone to show where I slandered anyone with an untruth or failed to take responsibility for what I have written by putting my name on every one of my posts, this poster hides from that same responsibility by posting their cowardly claims anonymously.
As for having been "arrested multiple times" that is a plain out and out lie. I will give $5000.00 to anyone who can produce any record of me having been arrested other than for the one arrest at the school board meeting. So big mouth with little brain you say there is a record, all you have to do is produce it and collect $5000.00 which I will pay to you on the steps of the courthouse the day you produce an official record of any arrest other than the one I have admitted too.
The final analysis is your topic is posted and your post was removed because it was slanderous lies with absolutely no redeeming qualities, proof of accusations or intellectual content. You have proven yourself to not only be a liar and a coward but also a person of low moral character and no integrity.

Mr. Barrett,
If I were you, I would stop accusing others of having low moral character and no integrity. Just an observation.
WAB EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE PERFECT: PERFECT AT LYING, SPREADING LIES ABOUT OTHERS, WHILE CALLING OTHERS OUT FOR "LYING" ABOUT YOU, PERFECT AT PERSONALLY ATTACKING INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU HAVE A VENDETTA AGAINST AND PERFECT AT BEING JEALOUS OF PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER, PERFECT AT MAKING YOURSELF BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG. WAB IS HIS BIGGEST FAN, BUT HIS "FAN CLUB" IS THE BIGGEST JOKE EVER.
8:53 How would you describe somebody who lies and slanders and shows no proof?
If the guy has the proof he could make an easy 5thousand if he has low moral character and no integrity then Mr. Barrett's 5 thousand is safe. Seems to me a simple matter show the proof he claimed and collect five thousand dollars, prove Barrett a liar and discredit him all at the same time that seems like what the writer has wanted to do for a long time.
charles (possibly barrett)
I think 9:27 just illuminated some gray areas for you. Read it.
10:09 I was just thhinking the same thing. Hopefully, WAB will finally realize he needs to quit abusing the court systems and the Constitution, and move on with his life.
I can not believe WAB made an analogy that the election commission is like a drug dealer. Really? You sir are the person with low moral character and no integrity at all.
To 10:34 you sure had to stoop low to make that connection.
To 9:27 You need a 100cc injection of reality. No where have you are anyone else ever heard me define myself in anyway as perfect. I would invite you to please show some evidence that I lied about anyone or anything. Show some proof of a vendetta or jealousy
instead of just making up things to fit your small minded agenda.
To 10:09 Charles M. is a person who has sent me his e-mail address and I have verified his name he has chosen to use on his last initial when posting which is perfectly OK.
He has his own mind and expressions but he is not me.
To 10:13 I have not abused the court system or the Constitution. I have been forced to use the court system only because the Constitution has been neglected by some in this county and state.
"yet her bill was over twice the total of my attorney".
Obviously, the county's attorney worked twice as hard.....and won.
I think this is going to be the end of Allen Barrett in Giles County. Anyone that would follow him has to be just as big of a hypocrite. Mr. Barrett, I hope you are starting to see that it is time you gave up. Spend time with your family or just do something productive and meaningful with your life. Giles Countians have no time for someone that causes so much trouble. Rather you started out to try and do something good or not, you have failed at succeeding and decided to put all of your energy into negative comments and topics. I know that you will never admit to being wrong, but you don't have to now because everyone knows the truth.
FF
Fleet
Excellent post. I just hope he will heed your message and go take a look at himself in the mirror.
To l:00 and l:21
There is a simple solution to your dilema of wanting WAB to leave:
STAY OFF THE BLOG
Or if you are smart enough, start YOUR OWN BLOG.
The concept of this blog is a good one but is ruined by the childish behavior of one? a few?
And just what is that truth fleet fox? Do you even know Mr Barrett? I know him and he's a great guy with a strong sense of right and wrong so strong that he puts his name on what he says while you sneak around the hen house in the darkness.
WAB your post at 1122 shows that you only berate and degrade people who disagree with your ideas, motives, thoughts and actions. That isnt a good quality to have.
Also, allowing Charles M. to post whatever he likes without a phone number, violates your own rules. Seems like you are making special rules for him just because he agrees with and supports you. I am sure you will make up some excuse and call me ignorant for writing this or questioning your decision to suspend your own rules in his case.
To 2:15pm are you Allen Barrett? You used an analogy like he loves to do. "Hen house" gave you away. AND, a strong sense of right and wrong?! Personal attacks and sinful behavior is having a strong sense of right and wrong?! The only "strong sense of right and wrong" Barrett has is that he is ALWAYS right and everyone that disagrees with him is ALWAYS wrong!
2:25 couldnt have said it better myself
Kick him while he's down.
What a bunch of hypocrite we have in Giles County.
I don't agree with what Barret has done, but you people are just as bad.
Some of you even claim to be Christians. Would Jesus approve of what you are doing?
Jesus has nothing to do with it. Barrett is a very angry person that takes all of his frustration out on the elected officials of Giles County. Anybody that backs him up on here has to be questioned as to whether they are kin to him or very ignorant when it comes to judging character. Barrett is definitely a hypocrite. If someones wants proof, they can go back and read through the archives and see the contradictions in his opinions when they regard him or someone else.
I have read on here where he totally made a false accusation about someone and when the accused guys wife came on and proved that Barrett was full of excrement, Barrett still had some vein excuse and couldn't apologize. It is always someone else's fault.
To 2:15, everyone in the county knows Allen Barrett. He likes to have his name in the paper all the time. The problem is that it never has anything good written. So for you to ask if I know him is a little bit of a dumb question. I may not know what kind of toothpaste he uses, but I know that he has an altered sense of reality when it comes to right and wrong.
FF
fleet fox,
After reading the above I have to question your intelligence. And if you actually believe the dribble you just wrote then your sense of right and wrong definitely is altered and in league with dark forces.
You need to wtop posting if you are going to act like such a moron 6:32. The truth hurts, but apparently you need to hear it. Some people can't be saved I suppose.
7:08 I calling someone a moron not calling names?
My opinion is Barrett angry, but so are you and a lot more that post on here.
7:48 should be Is calling someone a moron not calling names
I would like 6:32 to name what isn't true in the statement that The Fleet Fox made? I would also like to hear what makes him or her question FF's intelligence? I thought it was a good post.
Fleet Fox
Would you please tell us which thread this is on. You said "I have read on here where he totally made a false accusation about someone and when the accused guys wife came on and proved that Barrett was full of excrement, Barrett still had some vein excuse and couldn't apologize. It is always someone else's fault."
I'm not saying it isn't so just would like to read it.
I believe 6:32 is allen barrett posting anonymously.
I think 6:32 and 7:08 both need to grow up.
To 2:25 your delusions have gotten the best of you which means there is very little worthwhile that's left of you. The analogy of the Fox and the hen house is as old as the rocks in your head.
Charles M. did exactly what was required. He sent me an e mail with a contact number that allowed me to
verify he was a real person and because of that he can now post at will.
Fleet Fox unless you can show proof of your stupid accusations you are left in a lie plain and simple. Please show something to support your unfounded lie. You claim to have read it on here so it shouldn't be very difficult for you to show the proof.
Instead of attacking Charles M. why not just show the proof you claimed to have that shows multiple arrest and collect the $5,000.00.
WAB whether it was one arrest or two or three or twenty thousand arrests, the main point is that YOU WERE ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT. That is a very serious reason to be arrested. Also, I don't think anyone would accept a monetary reward from you because we all know that you need to hold onto all the money you can get your hands on to pay off the debt you now owe the county. I feel like your obsessive vendetta against the local government has gone too far, and, frankly, I dont appreciate you technically stealing my hard earned tax dollars.
wab
I have watched your misbehavior go from bad to even worse just here lately and feel that I need to ONCE AGAIN give you a bit of advice. Please consider seeking professional help. It is my opinion that you are mentally ill. I don't say that to hurt your feelings, but someone close to you has got to do something before it's too late. To put it bluntly, I believe you are quite sick.
1:28 AM Provide proof Allen Barrett was arresedt for ASSAULT. His only arrest was for trying to speak at a school board meeting and he was ACQUITTED. Are you confusing the school board attorney situation where the attorney assaulted Barrett?
Barrett owes zero to the county. The leaders in county government CHOSE to challenge his lawsuit. Had they not, the attorney fees would have been minimal.
Since Vanzant caused the discrimination employment lawsuit are you holding her accountable to the taxpayers for the $70,000 that was awarded to the person discriminated against?
To 9:31, I don't have time to go back and read through them all right now. I just know that it had something to do with Tommy Pollard missing a commissioners meeting. I will have to try and find it again later. Barrett knows better than to call me a liar on this.
FF
They had no choice but to defend themselves against barrett
To Fleet fox once again you are wrong, wrong, wrong. You are indeed and word a liar and a yellow dog coward.
You claim that you don't have time to prove what you so stupidly proclaimed just one day ago. You stated, "I have read on here where he totally made a false accusation about someone and when the accused guys wife came on and proved that Barrett was full of excrement, Barrett still had some vein excuse and couldn't apologize. It is always someone else's fault." You wrote that on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 4:49:00 PM.
As far as I know Commissioner Pollard has never missed a commission meeting and there are very few committee meetings that he does not attend. Commissioner Pollard has proven himself to be one of the more responsible commissioner and no we do not agree on everything.
To 1:28 It's not surprising that you post in the middle of the night. I realized long ago that you were not very bright but I thought even you knew the difference between one and twenty thousand but I guess when it comes to your lies numbers are about as unimportant as all the other facts. I have never been arrested for assault that is just another of your plain outright lies. If you can prove that lie you can collect the $5,000.00 and money spends just as easily regardless of who it comes from or who is doing the spending. Another lie you so obnoxiously included was that I owe money to the county. Why don't you try getting in touch with reality instead of with your feelings before making up such outrageous and easily disprovable lies. By the way as you try to get in touch with your inner self you should not continue trying by sticking your head inside yourself it's not only dangerous but your boss would miss you.
To 7:01 Congratulations on becoming a Psychiatrist or is it a Psychologist. Oh, wait that was your "OPINION" that I needed professional help for my mental illness. Isn't "OPINIONS" one of those things everyone has like certain orifices? What's amazing to me is that you are able to keep both your opinions and your head in that same orifice. Perhaps you should consider some professional help maybe during your next visit to the Watering Hole Lounge you could have another consultation.
8:17 AM if you go to the Giles County Sherrif's Department website (http://www.gilessd.com/Giles_inmate_list.html) and search released inmates. William Allen Barrett was arrested on 6/3/04 for ASSAULT. It's there with his photo. There is your proof!
Assault

In law, assault is a crime causing a victim to fear violence. The term is often confused with battery, which is the actual "touching". The specific meaning of assault ...
So it doesn't mean he hit anyone.
Jackson was afraid he would hurt him. laughable

wab
It doesn't even take a psycvhiatrist or a psychologist to see that you are in need of help. That's my opinion based on the empirical evidence I see.
As for Ther Watering Hole, I don't drink and would not be seen in a beer joint.
Your preoccupation with bodily orifices is so Freudian by the way.
To 10:27 You can't imagine how much I appreciate you bringing this to my attention as it gives me an opportunity to have some very big mistakes corrected.
It seems the Sheriff's office made a few mistakes when they posted my inmate summary. Some of the mistakes are right comical and I hold no animosity toward the Sheriff's department as everyone makes mistakes.
Here is a list of mistakes on the report which is not an actual arrest report only an inmate summary.
1) Booking Date: 6/3/2004 2:03:00pm
2) Release Date: 6/3/2004 2:20:00pm
(The true dates are a year later specifically Book on 2/10/2005 at 9:05:00PM and Released on 2/10/2005 at 1:20:00am.)
3)Arresting Officer: GCSD
(The actual arresting officer was Lt. Musgrove of the Pulaski Police Department who also testified at the trial page 232 line 13 thru 15 that "I didn't think the gentleman deserved to be arrested so I elected to just issue them a citation and let them go". Now if there was ever any question of an assault do you think an officer of Lt. Musgroves position would just ignore it?
4)Arrest Date: 06/03/2004
(The actual arrest date was 2/10/2005)
5)Bond Amount: 0
(Bond was $500.00 cash for each and had to be paid before we could leave. It was later determined that this bond was extremely excessive since it was a misdemeanor and we were both property owners who had never been in trouble before)
6)Code and Description: 39-13-101 Assault
(Actual charge was 39-17-306 Disrupting a meeting with the intent to disrupt and resisting or obstructing an arrest).
Most fair-minded people also remember that we were found not guilty on all counts.
Even a hate-blinded, small minded person would have been alerted by the dates. Sorry you missed it but that's what happens when you let your feelings direct your intelligence.
12:42 if you are gonna play psychiatrist you should at least learn how to spell it.
How do you think people would "feel" with a sign outside your door that reads "psycvhiatrist". You have to calm down or your hate for me is gonna cause you even more embarrassment.
wab
So are you going to deny that you and your buddy were not trying to create a disruption?
What happened to the 10:55 post? Barrett is now using cencorship to work in his favor. For that he is a very low individual. He calls someone a liar and then deletes a post where someone calls him a liar. You are worthless Allen Barrett. You are a sad excuse for a citizen in Giles County. You must enjoy being the punchline in peoples jokes.
FF
I agree 1:14, Barrett is now showing his true colors. It is sad that he deleted the post from 10:55
He can't handle when someone tells the truth about him. I bet he would argue with Jesus if he got the chance.
What did the post say that would cause him to delete it? I didn't see any reason for it to be deleted. I guess Barrett is using his ban hammer for his own good.
Did the same person post the last three post.
12:56 Did Barrett not say he was arrested one time?
142 no I posted one of the posts but not the other two. you are wrong.
Is it going to cause them as much embarrassment as you have suffered the last couple weeks Mr. Barrett? I find it hard to believe it could. One thing I will say is that you have no shame. To be proven wrong time and time again, then to deny that you have said certain things about people, when it has been in your writing on this blog is something that would make most people want to go into hiding from the public. However, you just keep on with the nonsense and now use censorship. I have never seen someone dig a hole so deep by making up stories so that they can always try and be right. Narcissistic Personality Disorder comes to mind when I see what you have written lately.
Don't forget Borderline Personality Disorder and Delusions of Grandeur.
The 10:55 post was deleted for violation of the blog rules.
What rule was broken? Thanks.
John 8:7 Jesus said "The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her."
I think we can and should question the elected officials, however we shouldnt "throw stones" or call names regardless of how deserving we feel the names may be. I personally have been lied to by Mrs. Vanzant on a couple of occasions, maybe it was a mistake, she has to live with her decisions just like I have to live with mine. I think Mr. Barrett has asked some very pointed questions in the past, things that needed to be asked, I just dont agree with the way he asked some of them. I dont think either of these people think they have done anything wrong. Whether you are a Vanzant supporter or a Barrett supporter why not try to live as Jesus commanded in John 8:7 I am just asking...
3:34,
Don't put Mrs. Vanzant and Barrett in the same category. He is not her nemesis. She is his, and he displays it all the time on here. Jealousy will make people show their true character. Barrett is definitely lacking in the skill department when it comes to social skills and criticism. As someone stated above, he has a very narcissistic attitude. That is something that he will carry with him forever. It also gets in the way of him being a good person.
3:34 Good post.
John 8:7 Jesus said "The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her."
Barrett shouldn't be throwing stones and there are a lot of stones thrown at Barrett on this blog. They are just as guilty as Barrett. Because he does it don't mean we should.
4:47
If he throws a stone at me, I shall return fire.
Some people don't understand the difference between a narcissistic attitude and having confidence in ones self. Of course you can understand that when you are dealing with people who have never accomplished anything in their life but enable others to walk on them.
I am not a WAB supporter, but in my opinion, WAB is far less dangerous than JVZ.
With WAB, you know where both you and he stand.
With JVZ, you had better beware!
5:42
Are you the one he's been throwing stones at?
There is a huge difference in being confident and being a narcissist. Most people with a narcissistic attitude are the first ones to make the claim that they are confident. Freud said that the difference is "one being pathologically self-absorbed rather than having an ordinary interest in oneself." Never being able to admit you are wrong is narcissistic.
7:46
I think you have it totally backwards.
7:56
Nope. He only does that to people he is jealous of or resents.
8:39 You said if he threw stones at you, you would return fire. Have you been returning fire or is it just stones at WAB?
You have a right to your opinion and 7:46 has a right to their opinion of JV and WB.
8:39. How is it possible that the statements are backwards. With WAB, you know exactly where he stands. With JVZ she can not tell the same story twice.
She has hurt this county more than anyone will ever know.
Yeah Allen Barrett stands right in the way of anything getting done in this county. Even though he can't get elected, he feels that we need his approval before any decision is made. I think he should just take a back seat and keep his mouth shut.
8:59
Correct. And my opinion of allen barrett is about as low as it can possibly be. He is nothing in my book. On the other hand, Mrs. Vanzant has my total respect and support. She deserves an award for having to put up with barrett and his one or two loyalists.
9:42
I disagree. Your last statemnt is surely wrong. The one you so eagerly defend is the same one who has hurt so many people as well as this county moreso than anybody ever did before.
I thought Barrett was describing himseld through the eyes of the citizens of Giles County in the last sentence of this topic. For him to say that about anyone else is hypocrisy and ignorant.
As I have read many times on here if you want to shut Barrett up just prove him wrong, show the many people he has hurt and how he has hurt this county instead of just running off at the mouth. Lies should be easy to disprove and if those who keep making claims about having proof he lies would just show that proof maybe all this mess would go away.
Not being an elected official and having no power how is it that he has become such a power that some people seem like have their whole life revolving around him?
jus talkin is exactly right. all you are doing is ju talkin. Barrett has been proven wrong many times on here. DAW needs to come back. He used to shoot Barrett down all the time. Barrett has the power to cost the county money and waste their time. That is it. Keep wishing for a miracle 9:24.
Show the proof 9:51 not just blow smoke. If he's wrong show the proof.
I want to make one thing painfully clear. I DO NOT support WAB. I understand that he has hurt the county.
Another thing should be painfully clear:; JVZ has hurt the county as much or more than WAB for all of the polar opposite reasons! I have worked with her, and in my opinion, the only reason she is in office is for the salary and the retirement benefits. She is not in office "for the people"!
So True 7;06!
7:06
I would agree with you about barrett's hurting the county. However, knowing Mrs. Vanzant as I do, we would have a major disagreement about her motives and about her hurting us. That's simply not true.
There could be a disagreement about her motives but there is no intelligent question about her having hurt the county.
7:04
That's not true.
I wonder now that Barrett posted about losing the appeal if the enabler is satisfied and has stopped whining about it.
I read where Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan both lost several election before the people realized their mistake and elected them to the highest office. There's no shame in losing the shame is in whineing about others while you hide under the bed
shaking with fear.
10:34
The true enablers are those like you who continue to promote that lie allen barrett told. You just can't let it go, can you?
Ok; here we go again.
10:34 Just had to see him get his panties in a wad didn't you.
Oh well it gave him a reason to ;post.
12:37
You are right. It's a sick need to keep something going or stirred up. Oh, but isn't that the way things are done here on this blog?
Just look at who is complaining about things getting stirred up the chief stirrer upper. Don't you realize if you had not posted there would not be anything to respond to. You must be as dumb as everyone thinks.
8:03 So I have to respond back to you. You also must be as dumb as everybody thinks. Every time you post I have to respond back.
Your turn now.
Stop calling names and the responses will end. It's just that simple.
How sick are you?
8:15 I just checked the book of rules and couldn't find anything that say you were required to respond to ever post on here.
Where may I obtain a copy of the "book of rules" to refer to? Why do you have to respond to everything? Sounds a bit hypocritical of you (my opinion).
Stop the name-calling, and the rebuttals will cease.
What name did I call anyone on 8:15?
That was my only post for today or yesterday. Just a come back at 8:03 because she/he thinks they have to respond back to everyone.
Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head.
4:43
It was just a general statement that if the true enablers would stop calling names the responses would cease.
When your head is as empty as the enabler you can use the company 5:08
7:58
The true enablers are those like you (perhaps as many as two people)who insist on promoting the lie allen barrett told. That's right; he told a lie. Give it up and you won't have to worry about any further responses on the subject.
Don't you have anything else to do with your time?
7:58 is a moron and a follower of stupidity.
9:01 The true enabler is the one who gives approval by supporting certain behaviors. You (perhaps as many as two people) have proven to be one who supports wrongdoing therefore you are an enabler. But because no one knows your real name there is no one who can accurately identify you as the enabler other than the self identification that a guilty conscience or arrogant personality brings to every response you make.
In simple terms if you don't want to be known as the enabler just stop identifying yourself as the enabler. An unknown person who is called a buzzard can't actually be identified by that name until they stand up and say hey, that's me.
8:26 Good post to anyone.
8:26
Wrong. I support NO wrongdoings that I am aware of so YOU are one of the perhaps two people who continue to promote that allen barrett lie. The only reaosn he manufactured that fabrication is because I disagree with his name-calling and attacks on others. That's it. Accept it and stop enabling strife. Haven't we had just about enough of that?
I knew he was referring to me as one who enables wrong, and I am not about to let him get away with that. By the way, if you participate in a lie, doesn't that make you also a liar?
I'd like top put that lie behind me, but you guys just won't let it die. What empty lives you must lead.
Looks like 1:08 must lead an empty life, so she/he is always posting on the blog. Nothing else to do??
1;08 how in the world could you respond to the 8:26 post as you did without revealing yourself as a total idiot. I never referred to you by name or anything that could have identified you, but you knew, right or wrong, who was meant what a loser,
3:44
Like I said, he told the lie because he didn't like what I had to say. And, yes, I know who his loyal two or three is referring to as well.
Why on earth do you just insist on trying to keep something stirred up? I noticed that you couldn't restrain yourself from name-calling. I don't think I would be calling anyone an idiot and a loser if I were you.
4:42 thank goodness you are not me if you were I would have to choose suicide over terminally stupid.
8:12
Do what you gotta do pal.
8:12 sounds like Barrett. I guess no posts are getting deleted anymore. Maybe Barrett did quit blogging under his own name. It needs to be shut down due to morons like you anyway.
12:13
Well, you sound like barrett with the name-calling. But i would agree with you that it needs to be shut down.
Why don't you morons quit reading and posting and you'll have nothing to complain about.Do you just love to hear yourself whine?
I think it's the same person caring on a fuss with them self.
5:12 I think you are right...Enabler this...I am not the enabler...drink the kool-aid...cave people...ENOUGH!!!! you people act worse than my children
The name enabler is a lie allen barrett started, and his two or three followers won't let it die. Isn't lying one of the seven deadly sins?
You should know 8:00 being god and passing judgement on everyone and every thing,
The only one keeping the enabler thing going is you by responding every time some says the word. You could drop it but you just can pass up an opportunity no matter now slim to attack Barrett. You are a sick individual.
9:21
Wrong. I just refuse to let him and a couple of his devotees get away with that. I have suggested to them that I will stop bringing it up when they stop calling me that name. How would you like being falsely accused of going along with something wrong?
8:00 a refresher- 7 deadly sins= wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony
6:04 Here's a refresher for you. I see envy, wrath, and pride as common among the disenchanted who continue to cause trouble here in Giles County. However, the chief troublemaker now has a much smaller following than before. Thank God.
Enabler is a generic name for a generic person, any response to it is an admission of being as insignificant as a no name can be.
Did you list the 7 deadly sins because you been practicing them so much?
8:19
To repeat myself, the only enablers I see are those like you who keep trying to promote that lie. If anybody is enabling wrongdoing (hurting others, calling names, stirring up trouble, etc.) it's those like (my opinion) you and allen barrett. I pray that he is gone.
Does the Bible not say something about turning the other cheek?
Is praying someone is gone not a sin?
11:51
Not at all. I didn't say I pray that harm come to him. But I do pray that he moves somewhere else. Perhaps he would be more satisfied elsewhere...and more appreciated?
Maybe if you just summoned up all your courage that you claim to have and go over and tell Barrett to move he will. I can see it now you standing in there wetting your pants when he opens the door and gently says hi. Never been a loser like you since Elmer Fudd.
"I pray that he is gone."
Take the statement anyway you want to.
It's praying someone is gone.
I hope Barrett isn't in a hospital because of all that's happen in Giles County. I don't know the man or how his health is. I don't want anyone upset to hurting their health.
Could be he's in DC trying to get the Supreme court to take the case. What case, I've forgotten what it is?
6:03, you have got to be the most childish idiot on this blog. Barrett would break a hip if he tried to fight someone. You are the definition of a moron.
Let me make this as simple as I know how. I hope barrett is gone from Giles County. By that, I wish him the best of luck and health wherever he goes. I just hope he goes. Is there anything you guys misunderstand about that?
No, You just try to twist things your way. Try as much as you can you still don't come off smelling like a rose.
10:52
And you are either very simple-minded or just insist on keeping something stirred up.
If your hero is in fact gone (moved away), then what will you do with your time?
10:58 What will you do with your time when the blog closes down?
This blog has basically been done for awhile now. It is a load of crap.
10:58 Don't you wish you had said moved way instead if gone the first time.
Has anyone been by Mr Barrett's house to see if he's moved?
11:06
No. I stand by exactly what I said. I will be glad when he is gone. I put "moved away" in parentheses simply to clarify what I meant to those who are either simple-minded or contentious. Which would you be?
Hot shot first post you made said gone.
You prayed for him to be gone, not move away.
Anyone can take that anyway they want to.
9:58
Look pal, you take what I said any way you want to, and I will not waste my time trying to explain what you and I both know I meant. You are either very simple-minded or just a contentious and troublemaking person who wants to get something stirred up over this. Don't you have anything else to do with your time?
Again, I sincerely hope he is gone (moved away, relocated, on a one-way trip somewhere else, etc.).
9:58
I failed to comment on a post that was made at 10:13. The writer is correct in stating that this blog is a load of crap which has been done for awhile now. Aside from bickering with YOU, there's nothing else going on here. Thank God.
Why do you keep posting then? Can't you see they are just enjoying pulling your string.
I agree this blog is done. Haven't checked in a few days and find there is nothing new just some pulling your string and you posting back. Hope you few can find a new hobby.
8:10
I realize that these folks are all about trying to pull someone's strings. There's nothing new about that. But look at it this way. If I didn't respond back to their smart remarks and inuslts, this blog would have already died.
Theirs seems to be a sick sort of hobby that has drama as it's objective.
9:47 Yep,you and me.
So lets keep it going.
11:55
I'm cool with that. But you will learn that I won't be bullied nor will I allow you to smart off to me without a challenge. Just so you know pal. But it's been me and you for quite some time now anyhow. I used to think there were two of you. Now I know better.
Take your best shot but be nice.
I know WAB and he's gone on vacation so the enabler has a brain fart that blows out what was left of his drug addled brain. Why is what WAB does or don't do so important to those who obviously hate him.
3:31
The only enablers I know of are those like YOU who keep promoting the vacationer's lie. That's right; I called it a lie, and you are a participant. As for what he does or where he goes, I could absolutely care less. I just wish he was gone (moved away, relocated, took a one-way trip to points unknown, joined thew French Foreign Legion, etc.).
Ok pal. Your turn I suppose.
2:17 Guess it's two of us as I didn't post 3:31. Don't mean that comment to be hateful, just wanted you to know 3:31 wasn't me.
4:18 There's no way to tell if it's a lie since no one knows who it was said about. What a stupid person to whine about something that was said about an unknown person.
7:57
Look, if the liar knew that I lived in the third house from the corner but had no earthly idea who I am, what difference does that make if he is going through the neighborhood telling lies about me?
I believe he manufactured that lie simply because I disagree with his assessment of our county's government and the way he mistreats others. That's it, pure and simple. I have asked him many times to stop telling the lie that I willfully go along with corruption and wrong.
You may think it doesn't matter when someone tries to malign your character, but I take great offense to it. He knows he lied, and I just want it stopped.
I'm neither stupid nor a whiner about this. It's just a matter of principle. Nobody has the right to go about bearing falsehoods, causing trouble, and deliberately hurting people. I believe the one you so eagerly defend is guilty of all three. But pride makes it hard to see our own shortcomings, doesn't it?
8:23 That's funny.. your last sentence. It fits you to a T and a lot of others on this blog.
My opinion it puts you in Barrett in the same place. Laughable
9:50
Well, you know what they say about opinions. You are entitled to think whatever you want.
I may have missed the explanation, but I just don't understand that if the voters office admitted a mistake and were in the wrong, how does WAB loose his case?
9:01
I think you need to read the court's ruling on this matter. It's not hard to secure a copy.
Yes, the election commission made an honest mistake that, had it been caught in time, Mrs. Coleman could have easily gone out and secured a few more names. She had plenty of time. Besides that, the courts did not want to put aside the will of the voters in this matter. They wanted Mrs. Coleman but did not want allen barrett. It's just that simple.
7:34 AM Its not that simple. What the judge did was to disregard the TCA which is supposed to be law. So the case was appealed. Does anyone think for one moment the court of appeals would rule against a fellow judge?
7:34 I didn't want Allen Barrett to become Commissioner, but your statement looks like the court wanted Mrs. Coleman and not Barrett made the court look corrupt.
Don't let your dislike for WAB make the Giles county court look bad.
7:34 stated the reasoning by the courts for their ruling. It was an honest mistake and they didn't want to overturn the will of the voters. Sorry that it hurt your feelings. It is over and done.
Ever heard the saying "You can't beat city hall" that's kind the way things go.
I can understand the courts don't want to go against what has happen.
I certainly hope the court don't do what they feel if they dislike someone.
That could bring on another law suit.
Hasn't Giles county and city of Pulaski had enough lawsuits?
I think you are out of your league 12:26. You don't seem to understand what happened. The courts couldn't care less who Barrett or anyone else is. They decide based on evidence and common sense. Something that Barrett and his followers always lack.
3.20 No I'm not in your league.
I just read this..
"Besides that, the courts did not want to put aside the will of the voters in this matter. They wanted Mrs. Coleman but did not want allen barrett. It's just that simple."
Tuesday, November 01, 2011 7:34:00 AM
and it sounded like the court didn't want Barrett. That would be wrong.
Maybe you are so brilliant we don't understand you. Need to speak in hillbilly language.
It must be wonderful to be so much smarter than anyone else.
8:34
The courts didn't care who got elected. But the will of the people spoke, and the court recognized that. More importantly, the court also saw that barrett started questioning things ADTER the votes were counted and he was, once again, odd man out. It's over, so let it go.
I read the testimony of Mrs Bassham and it was more than one simple mistake she admitted to, She admitted to at least three major mistakes and one complete omission of required paperwork.
I understand that there has still not been any disciplinary action or extra educational requirements have been made against those responsible for the problems,
One major question is how did Chris Williams become the paid attorney for the county without any approval by the commissioners or even any knowledge of the commission. Mrs Henson is paid a very large salary for this position so how did he get on the gravy train? There is much more to this matter than just Barrett or Coleman. There are answers that must be made public and it appears some very secret dealings took place that cost the county a lot of money.
9:03 AM You state some very revealing and honest facts about this case that must be looked into but it won't happen through any of the commissioners simply because there is not one who has the backbone to speak up - except perhaps Roger Reedy, but he weouldn't get the needed support from the other 20 commissioners? This is not the first instance of 'mistakes' being made by the current people in the elections office but here again, the people on the elections committee are all friends or relatives of those who were appointed to the committee in years past so we can expect nothing.
9:03
I believe the courts are wise enough to know how to handle matters like this. It's unfortunate that you and allen barrett do not agree with two court decisions. Oh well.
By the way, the answers have been made public. Get yourself copies of the court rulings.
Your charges against Mrs. Bassham is a lie. Get over the sour grapes. The people did NOT want allen barrett. Why can't you simply accept that and move on with your life?
God bless Giles County.
9:14
Rather than try to get something stirred up, why don't you go to the election commission and make your concerns known? It's sad that you seem to have fully bought in to all the hatred and jealousy that permeates this blog.
7:52
The poster of 9:14 probably feels it would be a waste of their time to make their concerns known to the election commission and their concern would be 'forgotten' and let pass by as does everything else people are concerned about and bring to elected officials attention.
10:33 I won't call your post a lie, but it's at least a huge stretch. Get over the resentment and enjoy your life. Isn't this really about your guys not having what it takes to get elected to anything? Lots of people think it is, so tell me if I'm wrong?
12:28
Yes, you are wrong. In my case I have never run for anything in government. Thank you.
10:33 is nothing more than a troublemaker. She is actually the real enabler. At least we don't have to deal with her kind in office. I really wish they would all go back to where they came from. Giles County would be much better off without Allen Barrett and all of the C.A.V.E. people.
So many nice people posting on this blog. Just can't see how they are acting.
4:32:00 PM The penny finally dropped for me. You surely are referring to the redhead who spoke at the meetings this morning. Think she ran for something in the last election.
4:32 When the "outsiders" came into Giles County everyone tried to butter them up. I am one. I have had to deal with phone calls at home from "the native Giles Countains" wanting jobs for friends and relatives. It is sickening how some post on here about outsiders. MR. BARRETT YOU ARE TRYING TO HELP THIS COUNTY, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
4:32
You are absolutely right. The county was much better off before the troublemakers come in here thinking they knew it all and what's best for us. They don't and are free to leave at any time they feel so moved.
8:44
Is this wab again?
No
Here you go telling people to move from Giles County.
Why don't we put up a sign that says "NO OUTSIDERS ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE TO GILES COUNTY"
8:59 What job does WAB have that would give other people a job?
I'm trying to think who has moved into Giles County that would hire people anyone know?
When factories used to move into Giles county, did they not send some people from other place? I guess that's why factories move away and no new ones move in, they would be outsiders.
The people that come to the county and work and acclimate into the rural way of life are no problem to me. It is the ones that feel that we are backwards and stupid that need to either go away or stay quiet. Everything may not be perfect in Giles County, but most people love living here.
I have no idea who the redhead is that spoke at the meeting because I was not there. I am sure it is one one of the same few that think they know it all and throw fits if something doesn't go their way. Some people never learn. Hopefully Barrett has learned that nobody wants to hear all of his lies and crying on this blog anymore. Maybe he has given it up.
11:31
Are you nuts? Nobody said that outsiders couldn't move here. Those are, once again, your words.
What I have said on more than one occasion is that anyone should pack up and move if unhappy living here. That would include you and me. But those who come here thinking they know it all and that they ought to be telling us how to live are the troublemakers we do NOT need here.
11:31 All factories who have moved into Giles County have hired local people. They only brought people in to start up operations.Before you critize the outsiders , think how many jobs they gave the natives. How many of the locals did they keep from going elsewhere for work?
8:22 I wasn't criticizing the outsiders, just trying to get 8:59 which is probably you to see how ugly it is to criticize outsiders. They did start the factories and give locals jobs, but she don't want outsiders coming onto Giles County.
Because a few make comments about her buddies.
Giles county is a wonderful place to live is why so many people move to it.
How long do you have to live in a place until you aren't an outsider?
Our children have to move away to find jobs, I wonder if they are considered the hateful outsider where they move to.
8:45
Look, why are you trying to start trouble? Is your life that sad and empty? And I am neither 8:22 or 8:59.
Why did you answer then, I believe the post was made to 8:22 and 8:59.
Do you think every post is made just to you? Look who's trying to start trouble.
12:17
What part of "I am neither 8:22 or 8:59" do you not understand? Are you just trying to keep something stirred up in barrett's absence?
Just know that not all people born and raised here look at those who have moved in as outsiders. We are all created in God's image, how we choose to use that image reflects what type of person we are. I personally am glad for people to move in and bring in fresh ideas. "We've always done it that way" doesn't mean we've always done it the right or best way. Times change whether we like it or not and we must at least seriously consider change or risk ending up like the dinosaur or the do-do bird. To be clear I can trace my roots back at least 5 generations here in Giles County, my wife is a transplant who moved in with her family. Our current mayor is a transplant, I think he is doing a pretty good job so far.
1:12
Excellent post. I agree with you. All I was saying is that when someone moves in here and tries to take over people just do not like it. I'm all for change and new ideas. In fact, I support the Wall Street accupiers even though I am a conservative...didn't say Republican. I don't call myself that anymore.
12:56 You need help. You said you were NOT 8:22 or 8:59, I understand you aren't, I just want to know why you answered to 8:45's post then. I thought 8:45 answered to those two post not to you.
1:12 Good post. Sometimes a new person has good ideas and can help.
It's not a good idea to go around with a chip on your shoulder and think everyone is against you.
1:58
The poster at 1:12 did indeed make a good, clear statement. However, yours is confusing. How do you decide whether or not a newcomer who might present new ideas to the government is genuinely concerned or is "taking over" and telling us how we should live? My confusion on your posts refers to what you have said in the past.
2:39
Here are some clues. When they call people names, make terrible accusations, talk down to people, etc. Those are the ones I am talking about.
2:39
How do you know what I said in the past since you and me and so many more post anonymous. I can't tell who's who.
How do you know the new comer is taking over or showing genuinely concern and trying to help? I can't tell. Some I don't agree with but don't get so upset about it. Give them a chance to say what they want to say is what they want then decide if it will help or hurt. I don't go along with Mr. Barrett's keep trying to talk at commissioners meeting. My opinion is if Mr. Jackson and the Board of Edu. had let Barrett & the other man say what they wanted to and then went on with business a lot of this wouldn't of happen. I could be wrong, none of us will really know because that isn't what happen.
I don't know who is a new comer and who isn't. How long do you have to live in a place before you are no longer a new comer. I guess if a person lives her 40 years they are still new comers but their child born here isn't.
When Barrett's name is spelled with out a capital I know it's you, but sometimes I have thought when a capital is use is you trying to confuse people. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't, no way of telling.
3:00
I did not post at 2:39 but will admit that I always use lower case letters when referring to allen barrett. I have no respect for the man and choose not to capotalize his name. I simply show him the same disrespect he shows anyone who disagrees with him.
7:53 Are you sure your lack of capItalizing Mr. Barrett's name is showing disrespect or is that your ignorance of how you were taught to write in school?
10:18
No. It's purely disrespect.
Then shame on you for being so vindictive, and you an ardent church goer to boot.
Well, I'm back from a very wonderful two weeks on Sanibel Island.
Looks like, from many of the posts, some of you have missed me terribly and had to fill your empty hours with fantasizing about me. It must be terrible wishing so hard that I would disappear then being so lonely for me when I'm not there.
In response to some questions and statements posted in this thread there are some things that obviously need to be clarified about the trial. I have started a new thread about Mrs. Bassham's testimony and will post the testimony of Mrs Coleman at a later time. I will provide a copy of this information to anyone who request it.
Mr. Barrett, glad you had a nice vacation. I am sure you deserved it. We missed you keeping us informed, glad to have you back.
wab
Yes, there are a lot of us who are glad you had a nice vacation. We are just saddened that it wasn't a permanent one away from Giles County. So sad.
I suppose everyone needs a break or vacation. And I would think stirring up trouble and hurting people could be just as tiresome as any other job.
Fantasizing about you? What an ego! Have you ever heard of narcissism and grandiose delusions?
Have you ever heard of a joke 8:09. Why don't you lighten up and enjoy life a little instead of being so wound up in attacking me.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
The 9:54 post was deleted because of it's incomplete thought and backward thinking.
wab
Oh, make no mistake about it; I see the joke, and it is you.
I don't like what you stand for, and I certainly abhor hypocrisy. Having said that, it is no wonder that you are, according to your logic, attacked from time to time. Go look in the mirror and ask yourself why. Please be honest.
Still attacking the messenger instead of looking at the facts 12:23.
If you abhor hypocrisy how do you live with yourself and that kind of self hatred?
Wow, 1:19 You said it! I just had to laugh. Your post was so true.
Talk about sour grapes 12:23 also has been eating them.
Mr. Barrett if you want to delete this post that will be alright with me. I want get my panties in a wad.
3:01
You know as well as I do that he won't delete your post.
12:23 When are you going on vacation? You realy do need one.
So when is the McAlister trial going to come up? I want to be there for that one. Why isn't there a thread for discussing that issue? Giles Countians need to be informed.
1:00 Why isn't it on WKSR or in the Citizen. I thought they would keep us updated.
I guess a trial can be postphone several times.
I thought the purpose of this blog is to keep us updated?
If nothing is happening how can anything be reported. I heard McAlister is trying to get out of the thing because he will have to testify under oath.
6:47
I can tell you this; he is not trying to get out of it one bit.
7:10 Sounds like you know Mr. McAlister real well. Tell us when the trial will be.
I want to go to it.
4:27
My but aren't we busy spewing all over this blog. No, I don't think Mr. McAlister knows me personally, but I do know he is not going to let this go. I asked when the trial might be because I figured one of the CAVE people knew. No?
I too plan on being there, the Lord willing.
5:49 No more busy than you have been.
Who said Mr. Alister knew you?
8:49
Are you serious? Go back and read the 4:27 post. Surely you just missed that statement.
I went back and read 4:27's post What I read was sounds like YOU know Mr. McAlister. Didn't say he knew you.
You have often make comments like you know Mr. McAlister. Guess the poster of 4:27 had read those post also.
I know a lot of people, but doubt if they really know me.
7:42
And I said he probably doesn't know me personally. That would imply that I don't know him personally either. Are you that stupid or do you just want to stir up trouble?
Since you think I'm stupid, thanks I will be. I didn't see the word probably in that post. I know you are careful how you say things.
You are so laughable.
10:58 To use your way of thinking, WHO called you stupid? I think you are.
7:05 I think 10:58 said since you think and you just said again I think you are stupid. He/she never said called.
Cool off and stop letting this blog get to you so.
9:24
Yes I think yopui are quite stupid in making a mountain out of a mole hill. I also believe you are 10:58.
What a laugh.
Do you have anything you really want to discuss?
