More than likely, Allstate will settle this suit out of court. Most insurance companies rather settle than go to court, it's cheaper. If Allstates' motto is the Good Hands People, I hope this guy's new motto is "Squeeze a little harder for more money from Allstate.
I personally hate insurance companies. The screw everyone and we have no choice in having to use them, i,e; car insurance, unless you're an illegal alien. They don't need insurance, or a license, or a social security number to get everything they need or want for free.

Homosexual Agenda Ping + Moral Absolutes Ping - Twofer.

Okay, here's another article about Matt Barber, a local paper this time. Gives quite a bit of background.

It used to be that immoral behavior was something everyone could agree upon. Now the only immoral act is point out immorality.

I'm tired of other peoples' immorality shoved down my throat. Those of us who recongnize immutable moral standards (which are virtually the same in every religion in the world) and dare to make some kind of small sound are the "bad guys".

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

(Sorry I've been a bit slack lately - the heat plus other duties...)

Duh - Here's the Moral Absolutes part of the ping. Forgot to add YOUR names (some duplicates, haven't figured out how to not do that yet.)

Apoligies to any who have pinged me to good articles that I haven't got to, or stories I haven't posted. Just can't get to everything, I wish I could!

From Samoa, I visited Samoa when I was in the Navy. Can't remember the name of the port we pulled into for fuel. Welcome to the mainland - Oregon huh, watch out for the Liberal Left Wingers up there!!

Oh yeah? Well, lemme tell ya how they "took care" of this client-a few years ago when the now ex-wife talked me into moving to WV. We got there and had to get new auto insurance. Called everyone listed in phone book and decided on Allstate as they had decent rates, the "good hands" BS, yada, yada, yada. The agent says "you know, you now live in coal country, lots of coal trucks flinging rocks, it's really hell on windshields, it would behoove you to buy the special w/s coverage"(or extra road hazard, or whatever it was called). Well, it was cheap, made sense, so I thought-may as well-it might come in handy. Four months later-yep, you guessed it-I caught a rock big time... but it happened whilst I'm on vacation in GA. No problem, Allstate sent me to a shop and paid to replace it(less deductible). But on the way back home, w/s cracked across bottom. Was it a possible install problem? My typical luck? I don't know but I called my agent. "Go ahead and call an on-site repair outfit" he says, so I did and they came out and replaced it. Again. No problem.

Two months later Allstate cancels me. As in refuses to renew my policy. I had paid for the 6 month policy in full(along with the extra rider) up front, and those two claims were the only ones.

If I were you, I'd keep my resume current.

Seeing as the company seems to be very homosexual it makes me wonder where those "good hands" have been and why they are in such a hurry to get them on me.

It's great that you guys met on FR and can discuss home type stuff. That's one of the things that makes FR such a great place. But I'd suggest asking the admin mod to delete the posts with your emails on it. Some other websites (DU etc) troll these boards looking for info like that so that they can harass you.

FR has a feature called private reply (unofficially known as freepmail) for just such circumstances

"In a free country, AllState should be able to fire him for ANY reason and we would be free to NEVER buy AllState insurance again"

Worth repeating...I'd hope I'd have the right to fire someone who'd been publishing say, anti-American Islamofascist tripe on the internet...but as things go I'm sure I'd be sued for letting them go.

Years ago I caught Allstate overcharging me by tagging me with tickets and accidents I never had. They had to refund over $800.
