They are so incredibly dumb. They recently posted a blog making fun of Clay's interview with Yahoo music, insisting that Clay didn't know what he was talking about when he said Afghanistan was part of South Asia, and insisting it was in the Middle East. Everyone is congratulating the blogger on the wonderful and insightful blog. Bwah!<BR/><BR/>What they don't realize is how stupid that makes THEM! Guess someone ought to tell the World Bank that the fools at 411 know more about the world than they do, because check out what South Asian country is prominently featured in the World Bank's focus on South Asia??

They keep saying insane things about proving they are wrong, then delete every post that does exactly that. They attack anyone who brings the truth, and then say they have inside information that proves they are right.<BR/><BR/>The problem for them is that the inside information is from the voices inside their heads. When you ask them to prove their inside informants are real, they do the old "I can't tell you who or then I'd have to kill you" routine. Never a name, never any proof, just ranting and more insane lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529456179444756331.post-87760801182349955412007-04-15T21:02:00.000-05:002007-04-15T21:02:00.000-05:00"Do you know how widely read this site is?

I just wish everybody could read it."<BR/><BR/>Well, when I have a newer blog, I'll get anywhere from several hundred to several thousand a day, depending on whether or not Google picked it up or whether or not it was linked at any other major sites. Even now, every few days, someone will link one of the older blogs in a comment section somewhere and I'll have quite a few visitors. Lately it's only been around 2-300/day, but then again, I haven't put a new blog up in quite some time.<BR/><BR/>I guess that's another reason I'm being fairly cautious about a new blog right now. The last couple new ones HAVE ended up as Google alerts, and I'm trying to be somewhat strategic. I don't want to distract from Clay's UNICEF/Afghanistan news right now, and just prior to that was some good coverage from the BAF gala.<BR/><BR/>It's very tempting, though, when I read some of the vicious lies they're spreading over at 411 to just react. But I won't. Another way of looking at it is to see them as just getting more desperate and hysterical since they haven't had the effect on Clay's life and career they were striving for, and digging themselves deeper and deeper into that cesspool of hate and lies they rather delusionally call "the truth." <BR/><BR/> I do sometimes worry that some other psycho, if not one of them, will read what they say and try to harm Clay as a result, and that's what bothers me the most, I think. In fact it scares me. There are some crazy people out there, and not only are they perfect examples of that, but I worry that their words may feed that... that the sheer volume of hatred there will push someone over the edge. I surely do hope that Clay's lawyers and security are very aware of who is saying what over on that site.nighthawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586501253552760529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529456179444756331.post-12648205315248037932007-04-15T20:31:00.000-05:002007-04-15T20:31:00.000-05:00Nighthawk said:"The thing is, is that they are obv...Nighthawk said:<BR/><BR/>"The thing is, is that they are obviously, obsessively, nuts, but they bluster and bravado and convince themselves that they are sane. Dunno. There is just a part of me that is thinking they don't deserve the attention, you know?"<BR/><BR/>I do know what you mean. It is mind boggling the things those people (if you can call them that) say and think it's the truth. They really are insane. I've heard that people that are losing their minds can't see it as it's happening and by the time they reach <BR/>that state it's too late. I think that is what happened to Groucho and the KCE mods. They are already full blooded lunatics and can't even see it.<BR/><BR/>Nighthawk said:<BR/><BR/>"I guess what I'm saying is that to write the next blog I have to immerse myself in their energy for a while, and I just haven't felt like getting that dirty lately."<BR/><BR/>That sounds painful and scary to have to immerse yourself in their energy. I wouldn't want to go there. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of getting dirty...at the time of the IT when I went to the KCE for the first time to see what they were saying about Clay, I honestly felt so dirty when I read what they were saying about him that I felt like my mind needed a good washing. Those people are disgusting and sick.<BR/><BR/>I do love reading your blogs and keep hoping someday someone will read them that can and will expose the psychos to the public, for all the vile, ugly things they have done and are still doing to Clay. <BR/><BR/>Do you know how widely read this site is?

As time has gone by, I've become increasingly bored with the vile little pea-brains over at 411. They are so filled with transparent hate, nastiness, and lies that it's almost embarrassing ...for them. I keep being reminded of that old movie from, I think the 1950s, or maybe the 1960s .. "The Snake Pit."<BR/><BR/>The thing is, is that they are obviously, obsessively, nuts, but they bluster and bravado and convince themselves that they are sane. Dunno. There is just a part of me that is thinking they don't deserve the attention, you know?<BR/><BR/>But the history of it all still fascinates me in a kind of clinical way. For example, the study of Groucho's descent into madness over at KCE is pretty intriguing. Watching how the main mover-shakers over at KCE morphed into these nasty, malicious, little creeps is also interesting.<BR/><BR/>I guess what I'm saying is that to write the next blog I have to immerse myself in their energy for a while, and I just haven't felt like getting that dirty lately. I might post something else in the interim though. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for noticing, though. :) One of these days you'll be completely surprised and find a new blog waiting for younighthawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586501253552760529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529456179444756331.post-10266974134000284502007-04-15T11:35:00.000-05:002007-04-15T11:35:00.000-05:00Nighthawk what happened to your next blog?Has this...Nighthawk what happened to your next blog?<BR/><BR/>Has this site been abandoned?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529456179444756331.post-43439192656220973322007-04-06T09:29:00.000-05:002007-04-06T09:29:00.000-05:00I wish the therapist who wrote this article could ...I wish the therapist who wrote this article could treat the 411 gang. <BR/><BR/><B>Society's compassion trampled by herd mentality</B><BR/><BR/><BR/>We were walking in Washington, D.C., at rush hour surrounded by total gridlock. <BR/><BR/>The scene was mayhem - horns blaring, people shouting irately, engines revving abrasively. Then a courier on a bicycle stopped to survey the sorry spectacle.<BR/><BR/>Shaking his head, he looked our way and sadly concluded, "We all hate each other." Nobody laughed. <BR/><BR/>Hate may seem too strong a term, yet many Americans harbor a palpable dislike for people in general. While most of us are affable on a person-to-person basis, when interacting with the amorphous "them," we are increasingly bitter, contentious and unforgiving. <BR/><BR/>Here are some of the main features of our rancorous herd mentality:<BR/><BR/>Buy a link hereNo Benefit of the Doubt: When we hear a derogatory accusation about a person, group or organization, many of us immediately presume they are guilty, rather than affording them a presumption of innocence, as our legal system requires. Psychological lynch mobs are alive and well in America. <BR/><BR/>Tyrannical Opinions: Once we label an individual or entity as "bad," many of us discount any evidence to the contrary. Psychologists call this "confirmation bias" - the tendency to emphasize information that supports one's opinion while ignoring facts or experiences that challenge or refute it.<BR/><BR/>No Pity: Despite touting America as a nation of Judeo-Christian principles, our public discourse and interactions are increasingly bereft of forgiveness or mercy. If you make a mistake, even an honest one, expect to be vilified by those who are adept at ignoring their own imperfections while focusing intensely on those of others.<BR/><BR/>Piling On: As Don Henley sang in his tune "Dirty Laundry," once somebody is bleeding emotionally, there are plenty of shark-like personalities moving in for the kill. This "kick 'em while they're down" attitude is evident in vitriolic talk shows, attack blogs, office gossip, political feeding frenzies and TV shows that mock and humiliate (e.g., "American Idol").<BR/><BR/>Collectively, our cultural icons are not the peacemakers, those who are meek, who compassionately forgive and extend the hand of inclusion. Instead, we predominantly glorify those who triumph with rude bravado, heart-carving condemnations and brute psychological force.<BR/><BR/>There are no winners in this mental tar and feathering. While some lose more than others, by poisoning the well of our collective social consciousness, we all forfeit a sense of community, good will and trust.<BR/><BR/>Whatever we may claim about our nation's moral values, too many choose malice and condemnation, not compassion, in dealing with "them." And those who do practice humility, kindness and mercy often discover what many persons of good will have learned the hard way:<BR/><BR/><B>There are plenty of people willing to crucify you. </B><BR/><BR/>Philip Chard is a psychotherapist, author and trainer.

Paraphrasing Clay, it takes time to write factual and documented (quality) commentary. Because, like practically all of Clay's fans, you have a rich, fulfilling, probably hectic, and satisfying life filled with family, friends and loved ones, you have only so much time you can devote to Clay. It's called perspective. <BR/><BR/>For me, Clay is like a reward. Only after I meet my real world obligations, can I devote some "spare" time to indulging in things Clay.<BR/><BR/>In strong contrast to all this are the 411 fools who seem to have unlimited spare time to inflict harm. From a purely practical standpoint, when do the haters spend time with family and friends? When do they do their jobs at work, or go on business trips or family vacations? When do they prepare meals or clean their houses or do yard work? When do they exercise? When do they live their lives?<BR/><BR/>Of course, what the haters publish is trash and slime. Can't take a whole lot of time to crank out crap. Maybe a one-dimensional / obsessed life, with no family or friends, or with totally disfunctional relationships or with a menial job isn't a reality worth living. So, the haters fill the void with fantasy / lies, and especially their fantasy of self-importance. Sorry lot indeed! <BR/><BR/>Long way of saying that it's a good thing that we have to wait for your commentaries. Better to read documented facts brought together by a healthy, and sometimes harried, individual who is living life to its fullest than to read rubbish churned out 24/7 by sick, obsessive minds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529456179444756331.post-19949720250643341552007-04-04T10:04:00.000-05:002007-04-04T10:04:00.000-05:00LOLI have been SOOOO busy!!!
