Apology edit to Brad ....
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 10:21 PM by trumad
Here's my original comment...

Yeah that's right. An astute DUer found that on his web sight.
http://www.bradfriedman.com/WriterResume.htm

I'm guessing 24 posts on DU earns you that distinction.



Well... I was wrong... The guy as pointed out by Wonk is indeed a contributing writer to DU.... My bad.....

seeing boogymen, and not trusting anything. Come to think of it, I'm still kind-of 'there', because of that I have not been posting much lately.:freak: :toast:

Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 10:24 PM by trumad
to think that this bothers me.... It don't.... I'm just watching out for DU and it's integrity. The bullshit that is filling this forum is 10 feet deep. Hey...I made a mistake about a guy named Brad... But me thinks I'm dead on about Mr. Curtis and his err affidavit.

21. Trumad....
questioning is key, all too often we can get on our crazed manhunts over bogus information. Having skeptics keeps us grounded, helps us dig, builds resolve, and filters bullshit.

Don't ever change!

35. Oh - you think it's another Rover red herring?
Sorry - I missed the Brad stuff, but I read the affidavit. You think it's Killian Docs II? You think we're being Hatfielded?

19. Ok Trumad, You have earned my respect
I still think it was reckless, but to come out and admit err, and publicize it in such a way, well my good man, that speaks of integrity.

I consider your new attitude a very pleasant surprise. Not to often I see people stand up and accept responsibility these days.

22. Shit man... I was dead wrong
How the hell could I spin my way out of that one. ;-)

Look...In my quest for the truth here at DU regarding this Curtis /Madsen stuff, I've broken my own rules with knee-jerk posting. I need to go to bed..LOL

Peace

28. Only the second time I've seen you eat humble pie Trumad.
I think the other time had to do with the Dolphins beating the Patriots....

Hey, Ive switched my thinking about 4 times tonight on this whole affidavit thing, too. We'll know the truth soon enough, but we need to vet all information posted here...

25. I gotta vouch for trumad, in my book he's always been a great DU'er
I don't know why he got on a bloody rampage the Brad
dude. It looks like Brad may have some credibility, no?

26. Not To Speak For Him
But I think all of us get a bit burnt from all this stuff from time to time. These forums ABSOLUTELY have gotten frustrating at times recently. I think the drama just frustrated him to the point that he needed to lash out at what could very well end up being an absurd story. I believe now his intentions were in fact to protect DU, and that is fine by me.

I, though still apprehensive, am holding on to HOPE that this stuff in the end checks out.

But we shall see.

Oh, Brad has MAD credibility. I would not question him or his intentions.

"Oh, Brad has MAD credibility. I would not question him or his intentions"

I know very few poeple worthy of blind faith, and brad, sudden shining savior with a smoking gun that he may be, isn't one of them..

Nothing personal.

34. All I Ever Ask
From Anyone who chooses to try and knock somebody down, especially someone who has been extremely dedicated in our cause, is that the person doing the knocking issue ANY type of supporting argument to the attack.

I ask the same from you now.

36. Oh come on - you're saying Brad is above question. Kerry wasn't, and
neither is this guy Brad, who you seem to seek to deify.

If you want my gut feeling, the whole thing seems suspicious as hell to me, antifreeze to a thirsty cat, if you will - but that's not what I've said before now.

I have merely questioned who he was. Questions. No seeking to "knock down" anyone - just asking questions.

When I see they guy held before us as some sort of savior, suddenly here, and he turns out to be a professional actor/comedian, well, I have a right to wonder and ask, and I damn well do.

When I see you write things like "I would never question him or his intentions," I am all the more suspicious.

Nothing wrong with suspicion. Nothing wrong with asking questions, and follow-up questions. The truth can take it.

I've seen post after post reflecting utter shock that I dare question "Brad."

And all I've done is question who he is.

This shock then, I guess, there will have to be.
