- Rolf Oeler, aka PigPen, was banned from this blog four years ago after he threatened to kill the President. Under no circumstances will I allow anyone to use this blog to promote violence. Oeler still posts here anonymously, but I delete comments I think are from him.On Friday night, he posted the comment you see below on Molovinsky's blog. He has suggested that Morning Call columnist Bill White may discover how rough the streets of Allentown can be after dark if he dares call Molovinsky "dour" again.This, of course, is an implied threat.I am surprised and disappointed that Molovinsky failed to remove or condemn these "seeds of physical violence," to use Molovinsky's own words. He resents being called dour, but that's no excuse for this kind of cyber threat.Mr. Molovinsky,You might be interested to know that I was 'drinking with' none other than State Senator Pat Browne, free money guru/millionaire J.B. Reilly, public relations/propaganda expert Jeff Vaughn as well as Pullitzerish The Morning Call writer Bill "I Wouldn't Be So Crazy About the NIZ If I Lived In, Say, Altoona" White downtown at Bell Hall tonight.
For the most part, believe it or not, I was extremely well behaved ... except for the beers I had sent to Bill White. I instructed the bartender, who knows who frequents the place regularly and exactly which patrons can be counted upon with absolute certainty to tip far beyond the 'standard' fifteen percent with absolute certainty, to inform Mr. White that the drinks come from Altoona ... you should have seen the wheels in Mr. White's head spinning as he scanned the establishment trying to put two and two together.
I must confess, though, that I felt a little guilty as I watched Mr. White leave Bell Hall and make his way off in the direction of The Morning Call's main building. I felt like I should have confronted the guy and said something along the lines of, "Hey, Molovinsky hates my guts. And the next time I catch you using disparaging terms like 'dour' to describe the man, you just might find out exactly how rough these city streets can be sometimes after dark. So back to your suburban dwelling with you already and be quick about it, too, because I'm simply plain sick and tired of schmucks like you trashing anybody who does not tow Allentown's Democrat Party line quite the way you think they should."
I can assure you, however, that I shall not fall asleep at the wheel ever again in the future. Because I'd sure hate to see that noble and righteous award-winning blogger Bernie O'Hare have to lament that you have stopped catering to and/or provoking the extreme radical right here at this blog, as he has gleefully alleged in the past on more than one occasion. And because I am of the opinion that a big part of the reason why Bill White has gotten away with all the crap he has gotten away with over the years is because nobody has ever had the balls to confront the asshole face to face ... apparently, not even me.
Alright, fine, so now you could build a pay-to-pay case against me quite easily.
A pleasant rest of your evening, then.

MC Columnist Bill White Gets a Cyber Threat
20 comments:
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Bernie, I hardly know where to begin with a reply
ReplyDeleteI hope you have the courtesy to not delete this comment, since you are attacking me.
the phrase "seeds of violence" was never used by me. it was part of a comment by someone else, and falsely attributed to me by a cyber/stalker/bully, who made me one of his many victims because I refused to join him attacking you. For you now to attribute this falsehood to me, is very ironic. I hope that you have the decency to make the appropriate correction.
I thought that Oeler's comment was probably alcohol fueled, but contained a glimpse of Friday night Allentown. I didn't see it as any sort of real threat against Bill White. I don't threatened people, nor would I condone one. I believe that the most aggressive thing about the situation is your post.
Bernie, what is wrong with this Oeler character? He threatened the then president and he just keeps making his threats. He must have some mental disorder.
ReplyDelete"Bernie, I hardly know where to begin with a reply"
ReplyDeleteHow about with an apology? Had that remark been directed at you, it would have been gone. You let it stand because it contained a threat against Bill White.
I am disappointed and frankly disgusted. This is the only comment from you that I will allow.
Isn't MM in deed the very definition of "dour"?
DeleteI have no problem with MM. But he certainly is dour, sullen, rather Malthusian. He doesn't come close to passing the "who would you rather have a beer with" test. Doesn't make him a bad guy. Just a dour guy.
ReplyDeleteA person who has demonstrated mental instability posted a comment on his blog that included an implied threat against a columnist who correctly assessed him as dour. Had it included a veiled threat at MM, it would have a very short shelf life. Instead, he allowed the comment to remain and refused to condemn it.
ReplyDeleteHis explanation is nonsense, too. People going out for dinner on Friday nights or having a drink is indicative of nothing.
ReplyDeleteBernie:
Are you still researching Pawlowski's potential sentence for the various counts?
775 years. No bullshit.
ReplyDeleteWOW I gotta say one thing Bernie, all the informative drama sucks me in to read!
ReplyDeleteWhat I JUST DON'T GET though is
WHY does anything think you OWE THEM ANYTHING regarding comments????
This is YOUR blog and if they want to have the power to delete comments,
TELL THEM TO GO START THEIR OWN BLOG!
All the best Bernie and I am a Republican!
Thanks.

ReplyDeleteNo way! How do you figure?

It is times like these when one must marvel at the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I'm somewhat confused by both the original post from IronPigpen (likely under the influence of alcohol) and the conclusions drawn here.
In his rant, Pigpen first says that Molovinsky hates his guts. Why then would we believe that he is somehow going to defend Molovinsky's honor against the heinous crime of being called "dour" by White?
Above all else, why are we to believe that PigPen is going to exact some sort of physical violence on Bill White when, after being in the same building as White, inflicted the great wrongdoing of buying him a beer? PigPen didn't follow him back to the Morning Call offices or anything like that.
End of story, as if it ever was one.
Molovinsky only gets intelligent visitors to his blog when he is mentioned on LVR. Bernie, stop feeding him visitors and he will remain in obscurity. Nobody gives a shit what he has to say, or what idiots he allows to comment.
ReplyDeleteBernie:
ReplyDelete775 years sounds like it assumes they throw the book at him for each count.
I'll go way out on a limb and take the under. Guessing that if convicted, he gets typical white guy, white collar treatment, the sentences are concurrent, he goes to Club Fed, behaves, and is out in less than 15 years.
While he's away someone will need to take over handing out popsicles at West Park Band Concerts.
Keep in mind 700 years represents what the statue allows. In reality, It's extremely rare that a defendant is sentenced to what the statue permits. Federal sentencing guidelines will be used and they're a lot lower. A lot. If found guilty, he'd likely do a few years with supervised release to follow.
ReplyDeleteI was asked to state the maximum sentence, not opine on what he will actually get. No more comments on this point please. They are off topic.

ReplyDeleteOeler, stop posting here. I ban people who threaten physical violence against others. Get some help.
ReplyDeleteYOU are the one who needs to seek professional help, O'Hare.
ReplyDeletePS : You are 0 for 2 lifetime versus Oeler.
