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.

Bumping your post for the video of this guy. IMHO, law enforcement needs to be called. He is a stalker and definitely not in a well mental state.

Donations?

Coming your way Jim, another payment for services rendered.

One of the best damn business contracts I have willfully entered into! : - D

"I will not stop, unless the price is right. "

Sounds like blackmail to me.

[mplsconservative]

I’m bumping your post as well, Velveeta. I agree that everyone should watch the video posted by xjcsa in #448. Mr. Martin is not just an amusing psycho, he appears to be a sick and dangerous psycho.

[xjcsa]

Agreed. Anybody with the necessary software want to save a copy of the video in case he pulls it down?

[NoGrayZone]

Is that guy dying of AIDS?? Something is seriously wrong with his health.

Safe trip for All.

[the OlLine Rebel]

OMG. That is so correct.

[STARWISE]

ROFL!! Hi jonny ..... ;) hugs .. miss seeing ya.

[Shortstop7]

Good heavens!! That guy looks very ill....both mentally and physically.

[fatima]

Did he just make a threat at the end of that.

[silent_jonny]

Wow.

I have not killed someone or myself yet but things in my mind because of this are not good at times.

Them and me are proof this needs to stop

Woo-hoo! Me write good!

[mplsconservative]

That would be beyond my paygrade. :) Not to mention my expertise, I should say.

I think it should be added as a link in the story at the top. Lots of people are joking given the guy’s e-mail message and are missing your #448 buried in this thread. I think Mr. Martin is very, very serious and mentally unstable. All Freepers should see this!

Here's our guy:

[Ditter]

The guy is sick, not just mentally but physically as well.That was disturbing.

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Star :)

[DTogo]

I'd like my money back, Jim, and will send it to Kevin. His website is so much... more...

nevermind.

[silent_jonny]

The most startling part of that is the wedding ring. Someone actually married him? A woman?

Why do you think Jim posted this, if only to infuriate his base into doing what you just did.

Do you have a problem with people donating to the site?
