From my inbox: Shutting down FR's support - extortion attempt

Hello Jim,

Since you've done what you've done to another reporter of mine when others seem to be allowed to post back to their blog or sites viablogger section, I've taken the liberty to gathering information about your website.

1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much.

2. You seem to be running the show, not a major building with staff.

3. Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets.

4. I am having a press release written on FR, urging citizens to stop wasting their money on you, and to donate for a better cause, elsewhere.

5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks.

6. You are not a true AMERICA LOVER.

7. Have a nice day, expect your vendors to pull out soon and your donations frozen.

Reads like satire. I don’t buy it for a second.

Watch his FR statement on video here and see if you think this is a guy capable of satire. Your skepticism is healthy, but in this case we have a delusional, mentally ill borderline personality who appears ready to go fully psycho.

Maybe he means Southern California Putz Authority because he sounds like the head putz.

The site I manage has an Alexa ranking of about 137k global and 52k US.

It only gets about 300k visitors per month, nothing compared to FR, but a whole lot more than scwxa.org. I’m not complaining about FR’s budget; I’ve contributed....

You know what’s really sad?

He doesn’t know how many scientists, producers and those who work in television are here... He could’ve made it to the big LA or NYC market in record time (Or at least lined up some speaking gigs or roundtable/board events); AND help us all fight cap and trade.

Huge mistake.

If he’s going to do weather, he has to get rid of that touchy attitude.

That is all.

"Anybody google this fool yet? HE should get fired."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just Googled "Kevin Martin crackpot" -- and it linked me to a forum discussing Martin.

It appears that the reason he has to operate his own WX website is because the guy actually is a

unemployed (unemployable -- blacklisted) weather guy

Apparently he was whining in a forum that he was blacklisted because of his belief in "chemtrails":

" just a few months ago he was saying here in this forum that he couldnt get a job bc of his belief in chemtrails - i.e. blacklisted. perhaps since hes flipped channels his employment prospects are better."

As expected: the guy apparently is a real nutcase...

Maybe he could work for George Noory on Coast to Coast AM.

Kevin’s just ticked off that someone beat him to the “Hey I think I’ll pretend I’m in a runaway weather balloon and shop around for a reality show.” angle.

He said: “I control it to an extent but I snap hard if bullied”

Oh if only the Obama administration would bully him instead of FOX!

Here is my message left on his site.
*****

Are you on drugs?
Donations to Free Republic are just that, donations. What do you care what is done with the money? The people who donate like the result and give freely.

Maybe it is the political views expressed that you don't like. Try DemocraticUnderground or DailyKOS.

SCWXA = Southern California Weather Authority

Clearly Kevin Martin is a weatherman who doesn't know which way the wind blows...

Have a safe trip and have fun. Are you going all the way to Orlando? If so, see you in either Jacksonville or Orlando, or both.

I’ll second the “knock yourself out pal” comment Jim. What kinda trash is this? Does the guy have nothing better to do with HIS time and money. How would HE know what it costs to run your website? Pleeeze!! CO

Kind of pointless. There are really only two seasons: “Sunny” and “On fire.”

Not true Southern California has a full 4 season climate:

Drought.
Fire.
Mudslide, and
Earthquake...
