[QUOTING MYSELF]
Mr. Balsamo, please remove my name and content from your site. You've heard my voice on the podcast show and when I called you. I believed in you then and I still do. Please, let's just let each other go here.

All of Mr Balsamo's comments were removed from this thread. I did not think to save them. He did respond negatively to my request. Also, I don't want to publish my response to his response because it includes quotes referencing a statement that is no longer there.

[QUOTING ADAM SYED]
Paul, people get pissed off with you because you do indeed whine and whine and whine and whine. He banned you from his forum after you initiated a mass email chain, where everyone under the sun was openly CC'd, in which you refused to accept the fact that DRG refused to grant your request to change the name of the Actors and Artists group. You severely pissed off quite a few others with that email chain too. You were launching bitterly sour grapes over the fact that DRG, Ed Asner and myself launched "Actors and Artists for 9/11 Truth" which has a similar title to your "Artists for 9/11 Truth" and your were getting pretty nasty in your rhetoric re David Griffin. Even though what was going on was occurring on an email chain, rather than the Pilots website forum, you probably left such a sour taste in Rob's mouth that he did not want to see your presence anymore after that. Many people felt you were wasting their time including them on an email chain about such a personal gripe.

But the main point is thread hijacking is not cool. This thread for example, on Michelle's wall, has nothing whatsoever to do with your personal gripe with Balsamo. On my own new website, 911discussion.com, I posted the draft minutes of the latest 911 leaders teleconference, and you brought up your gripe with Balsamo there even though it has nothing to do with the draft minutes.

The more you publicly bring up your personal dirty laundry with people, the more people you alienate.

Adam Syed - “Paul, people get pissed off with you because you do indeed whine and whine and whine and whine.”
Nice insult, buddy. Congratulations. Bully tactic. Form of name calling. Not the Truth. The same could easily be said for you or anyone that argues a position.

Adam Syed - “He banned you from his forum after you initiated a mass email chain, where everyone under the sun was openly CC'd, in which you refused to acce...pt the fact that DRG refused to grant your request to change the name of the Actors and Artists group.

Ridiculous. Absurd. Bully tactic. And what about what Dr. Griffin said and did?

Adam Syed - “Many people felt you were wasting their time including them on an email chain about such a personal gripe.”
You don't speak for anyone other than yourself, Adam. It's a bully tactic. Even if true they're wrong to think and feel that way. I fought out of necessity and with honor and I still do.

Adam Syed - “But the main point is thread hijacking is not cool. This thread for example, on Michelle's wall, has nothing whatsoever to do with your personal gripe with Balsamo.

It's not hijacking at all. Both of my posts are critical points to what's going on in both situations and the Truth Movement as a whole. What you said here is a transparent effort to diminish and again a bully tactic. I'm taking these approaches because people won't face my directly. All that so many do is insult, injure, and then shut down communications.

Adam Syed - “The more you publicly bring up your personal dirty laundry with people, the more people you alienate.”
It's not my dirty laundry, sir. It appears to be yours. Unsolicited advice. Threat of alienation. Transparent bully tactic.

Adam, again your gang fighting here like bullies. Might be part of the problem, you know. Will you go on the air with me about this? Why doesn't Mr. Balsamo speak for himself? What about his contradictory statements a month apart that I posted above? Can you explain to me how that's not lying about what he's doing in regards to the Truth Movement? Why don't you address that or care? Best case I just want to be on my way here. Please just help get my name and content off that site so that you can all go on about your business and I can go on Pro Tools and Ableton Live and make some good music, put on a good show, and maybe do some good on a larger scale. That's my work on his site. It's been altered against my will, I have no access to it, and my surname is all over it. It's unnecessary and damaging. Please help.

There was no response from Mr. Syed to my statements and questions above. I corrected one of my own typos for this presentation.

JPEG OF EXCHANGE AND CLARIFICATION

The owner of the Facebook account where this exchange occurred closed the account shortly after this happened. The screen shot beneath is the only record I have of this event.

I think now that the reason I saw Mr. Balsamo's comments removed from the thread was that as he was arguing against me he also started blocking me so that I could not see any of his actions there. It didn't occur to me at the time that anyone would take such an action.
