Oh, and by the way; I have been called both a "gay basher" and a "gay sympathizer" because we humans too often resolve down to a bumper sticker what should be a longer thought.
I found this site because I happened across a bunch of nasty remarks about me and thought I'd track down a few.
But what I find here is a bunch of intelligent folks who (only a little) fall into the digital age pitfall of easy, quick communication.
-Quick judgments, hasty statements and regrettable consequences.
Let's all try to do better.
I'll see if I can get in touch with Jacob and heal some damage we've done.

I knew Jacob Perry pretty well. I had thought of him as a friend and I paid him out of my own pocket when I had no money to do that.
But humans are complicated. Don't judge all Libertarians by one comment from Kenn or a bunch of nonsense from Jacob.
Jacob turned on me with vindictiveness I cannot understand at all. He's been talking trash about me for a couple of years now.
I don't get it. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before.
But like I said, humans are complicated, and politics is freakish wierd.
Can't we all just get along?
No...if we could we wouldn't tolerate politics.
Right?

Yep. Too seriously.

The truth is that only the few of you who write these blogs and apparently read and write on each other's blogs really care who GaryJ or IndyU or The Scribe are. You all take yourselves far too seriously.

Mr. Welsh, take down this post.

The Scribe had the courage to accomodate your request. Why don't you have the character to do the same? You seem hell-bent on demeaning anyone who dares disagree with you but go into a rage when your character is questioned. Seems inconsistent, eh?

2007-08-22T20:24:00.000-05:00

The Scribe seems worried about proof. I happen to know that IndyU received a tip from someone that knows Jacob Perry.

Gary,

Did you catch this post from Kenn Gividen? He has since removed it from his site...

Answers for Gary from endiana.com by Endiana.com
Answer to first question:

"Forked tongue" is a phrase that means "liar" or "to make false promises or to speak in a way which is not honest." [source] My opinion is that you should refrain from using the term, partiularly in a public post.

Consider these two points:

• Don't demean others. Calling someone a liar in public could be construed as "defamation" and may be actionable, particularly if it's not true. Check with your attorney for potential liability.

• Don't lower yourself. Name calling hurts you as well. It makes you look small and insecure.

Answer to second question:

If a perceived "friend" of your adversary offers to mediate, I see no reason why you would not welcome the opportunity to resolve the conflict, particularly if your adversary's "friend" is honest in his desire to reach a solution. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover your opponent's "friend" is your friend as well.

Hope this helps.

Wonder why he took it down...

2007-08-22T20:12:00.000-05:00

I was the Libertarian Party's candidate for Secretary of State in 2006, and proudly worked with the gay community to fight SJR-7. Homestly, I don't know what all of this is about, but I'll be sure to check it out.

I think you will find that the vast majority of Libertarians adhere to the simple principle, "you have the right to live your life your way". I certainly do.

I've been somewhat puzzled by Kenn's blogging near obsession with all things gay over the last half-year or so. I suspect that when he left the Libertarian Party, it was so that he could go in this direction, diverging from Libertarian orthodoxy.

2007-08-22T15:05:00.000-05:00

Funny as hell. Now he's saying that my name is chuck whitman, and calling me a mechanic.
So, lets get this straight.
I'm a lawyer, electrician, mechanic, blogger, politican?
Man, am I busy!!!!!
Gotta go now, I have to fix some legally electrical problems in an automobile!!

I'm a Libertarian. Have been for many years. I'm not sure who you're accusing of being a bigot or a liar, but I know such allegations are commonly used to defame decent people who don't deserve the hate.

2007-08-22T13:30:00.000-05:00

Looks like Scribe just recanted his "outing" of you by name and substituted somebody else. Did you capture the first posting...he appears to have taken it down and made a substitute.

2007-08-22T12:59:00.000-05:00

Meliyssa,

In what state are you a registered Libertarian? Can't be Indiana...we don't register.

2007-08-22T12:50:00.000-05:00

Hey guys. I'm a Libertarian and I don't think Andy and Mark follow blogs all that much.

Anyway I can safely say that none of us condone bigoted remarks about gays or defamatory statements. As for myself I am both a registered Libertarian and a member of Indy Pride.

Please do not judge Libertarians as bigots and liars. It just isn't so. Like any group or race there are going to be bad apples who have misplaced judgement.

I don't think it is necessary to get into a big criticism of the Libertarians, for what the party wants is small government, the rule of law, and personal freedom.

2007-08-21T22:44:00.000-05:00

Kenn Gividen, you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm sorry I wasted a vote on you. And Mark Rutherford, Andy Horning and you other fellow Libertarians, where are you? Are you going to sit by and say nothing about the atrocious action of your fellow Libertarian?

2007-08-21T22:42:00.000-05:00

anon 7:05, Others commit petty crimes or worse to get attention. There are consequences for such actions. You cannot simply make up malicious lies about people and publish it on the worldwide Internet without suffering the repercussions. This fellow is going to learn that lesson the hard way.

You know, I'm starting to think that Jacob (aka The Scribe) went after you, Gary, in his own post just to drive up his readership.

It's pretty clear that no one reads his blog, which is why he has to comment on everyone else's.

2007-08-21T18:10:00.000-05:00

Yes, and that's probably how they know each other - from their past involvement with the Libertarian party.

What's interesting is how disgusted "The Scribe" is because someone "outed" him, then he tries to do the same (in a false manner) to someone who has never tried to hide from who he is.

He's obviously upset because it's true. He is Jacob Perry. Just read his posts and take a look at past comments. It all adds up.

He just likes to pick fights with EVERYONE without any repurcussions. What goes around comes around.

2007-08-21T17:13:00.000-05:00

johann, I'm with you. I used to like some of the Libertarians, but I'm beginning to rethink my opinion of them if Gividen and the Scribe are representative of their thinking.
