... why?

Also; another Paul supporter from Oklahoma? I thought I was all alone. ;_;

I posted some Reagan commercial from 1984 and this guy kept posting multiple comments from multiple accounts (liedestroyer5, liedestroyer6, liedestroyer7, liedestroyer8, etc) and arguing with people about how great Reagan was, and just being a jerk to them. So, I disabled future comments on the video and now he calls me a hater of free speech and a coward. He's a tool.

[brithecameraguy]

why not enable comments and just remove the ones you don't want?

[travischurch]

That's too much work! :-)

He was making about half a dozen posts a day, every day, and he was being disrespectful to other users. You're right, though. I should have just blocked him and kept the comments enabled. I did subsequently block him after he started sending me nasty-gram PMs. I'll probably re-enable comments after things simmer down.

Sometimes I wish I had so little going on in my life that I had time to harass people over the internets.

KOTV Channel 6.

When Channel 9 got a new helicopter they handed off the old one to their sister station (6)...see "SkyNews 9 Bigger! Faster! Fuzzier!"

Clipped the satellite truck's dish. Nice.

[TheAdamtheClown]

Oklahoma sucks. I live in oklahoma and the only thing i like about it is when woodward actually gets storms.

[prcsouthwest]

They dont do promos like this anymore, what a shame! Instead of, look you are a part of the "family", now its all :look what we did, and we did it first".

[albooinkruse]

Yes, that's what I was looking for... I think I wrote the station some years back, but they said that Reba owned the rights to the song, or at least her singing of it.

[curtisplant]

This is great. Does anyone remember the one where Reba sang the song for the Channel 9 pomo?

[dmariomc]

man...this makes me miss home.

I've lived in Illinois 8 years and refuse to come back to Oklahoma, but damn if this doesn't make me nostalgic.

Oh people aren't "friendly" everywhere else like they are back home...

[Suki40330]

I left Oklahoma because I started suffering from panic attacks after the tornado in Cordell destroyed our house. But now I really miss living there. What a wonderful place it was to grow up.
