Because this dumb-ass blogger blew his cover, and slandered both him and TexasDarlin in the process. I can tell you that I know who is TechDude, and that he is who he says he is, I can also tell you that he is temporarily laying low because of what these nutty Obama supporters will do.
Take it from someone who has also been harassed by Obama supporters, that writing under a screen name may be the only thing that saves your ass from these insane Obamanites.
Those who criticize other people for using a screen nickname instead of their actual name need to crawl back under the rock that's been on their heads since the Internet first became a social network.
Good gosh, without pseudonyms, people would have online handles like johnsmith2004387, and who has to spend all day deleting his SPAM mailbox of emails for the other two million John Smiths in the world.
My take on some of these bloggers that I know who use their real names is that they are such egotistical narcissists that they get off anytime others write to them, using their real names.
Having THEIR blog referenced by another, more well-known blogger is simply nirvana to them.
They would sell their souls in a New York minute to be real journalists, in a real media outlet, and in the real world.
Yet, they already think they are just because they write a blog. Their mindset is such that because there are real journalists who have blogs. they think that they are in the same league with them.
Dream on, is all I can say to them .
I should also mention that I found the incontrovertible proof of the Obama COLB forgery a long time ago, and other FReepers will back me up on it because I posted them here first. Use the Search function to find them.
Replicating my proof is about the easiest thing that anyone can do. They can even do it without any image editing software. All they need is a printer and sheet of laser-ready or inkjet-ready transparency film -- available at any office supply chain like Office Depot, Staples, etc..
So, you can either be patient until TechDude feels that it is safe to return, or you can try out my approach.
The Kos COLB is totally busted, and that's proof you can believe in.
