I read your post this morning and didn't understand it, and it's been in the back of my mind all day.

Ignoring the "nonsense" characterization for the moment (you're certainly entitled to your opinion), I'm unable to parse your statement in such a way that it would make sense.

"Of all the people who post reguarly here...
you are the LAST person I would suspect of posting your own nonsense."

It seems that she would, almost by definition, be the FIRST person you would suspect of posting her own material, nonsense or otherwise.

It seems comparable to telling Stephen King that he is last person you would suspect of writing a Stephen King novel.

How have I misunderstood?

Im not into breaking laws Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #141

Bringing the Capitol Police into it was a nice touch though BeyondGeography Nov 2017 #6

Revenge Porn is a crime in many jurisdictions Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #11

It had nothing to do with intimidation BeyondGeography Nov 2017 #17

You think the Capitol Police... jberryhill Nov 2017 #49

That isnt the point; he was strong-arming her BeyondGeography Nov 2017 #56

When someone is threatening to extort you, and you threaten to call the police.. jberryhill Nov 2017 #57

What extortion? He was afraid his whole bullshit life was going to be exposed BeyondGeography Nov 2017 #59

I couldn't give two shits about Joe Barton jberryhill Nov 2017 #61

You gather wrong BeyondGeography Nov 2017 #63

I'm confused by your use of - hold that over the womans head jberryhill Nov 2017 #67

And I'm confused by your inability to recognize the power dynamic here BeyondGeography Nov 2017 #69

The power dynamic in extortion of a public figure? jberryhill Nov 2017 #71

Well, she was the one recording, not him, so she was apparently collecting evidence. moriah Nov 2017 #155

The woman claimed she did not post the photo. spooky3 Nov 2017 #54

Yeah, it magically left her device and made it onto the internet jberryhill Nov 2017 #58

It probably did - I bet her girlfriends had copies womanofthehills Nov 2017 #118

Yes. The article also said she shared it with other spooky3 Nov 2017 #119

If I was his PR advisor madville Nov 2017 #9

Yea, real good. Instead of conservative values republican, he can now be known for "revenge porn." LisaL Nov 2017 #10

The actual term is nonconsensual pornography madville Nov 2017 #14

That doesn't make sense, considering he took the video of himself and send it to her? LisaL Nov 2017 #16

Her distributing it without his permission is the nonconsensual part madville Nov 2017 #18

She says she didn't distribute it. LisaL Nov 2017 #20

She obviously did if she was the only one he sent it to madville Nov 2017 #21

What in the world makes you think she was the only one he sent it to? LisaL Nov 2017 #22

She said she is the one that shared it with the other women. The investigations will hash it out madville Nov 2017 #26

But that doesn't mean he didn't send photos and videos to other women. LisaL Nov 2017 #28

Possible, then one of them could be guilty under existing revenge porn laws madville Nov 2017 #36

Okay, so... jberryhill Nov 2017 #60

ummm. that is a possibility. The Truth will drip out. riversedge Nov 2017 #31

Unlawful Disclosure of Intimate Visual Material Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #70

And by the way, he was married. LisaL Nov 2017 #15

Separated apparently Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #29

By his own taped admission, married. LisaL Nov 2017 #33

Yes. Married people can be separated Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #37

Well, he didn't call himself separated in that taped conversation. LisaL Nov 2017 #43

Is this post of yours good and thoughtful? tammywammy Nov 2017 #44

A similar incident forced Anthony Weiner to resign from Congress... W_HAMILTON Nov 2017 #30

Exactly. Weiner resigned over sexting with adults. LisaL Nov 2017 #34

Weiner should have fought back harder... Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #40

Underage interactions was years later. LisaL Nov 2017 #41

The only person who could make Weiner resign was Weiner jberryhill Nov 2017 #53

Multiple times after he got caught and apologized and promised not to do it again. n/m RhodeIslandOne Nov 2017 #143

Revenge porn wasn't illegal in NY at the time Weiner got caught onenote Nov 2017 #87

All this "revenge porn" talk is silly. W_HAMILTON Nov 2017 #99

How did the picture/video get from her to the public? onenote Nov 2017 #101

The article states that she previously shared it with spooky3 Nov 2017 #120

Disclosing it to other women would itself be a violation onenote Nov 2017 #125

But its hardly revenge simply to share it with spooky3 Nov 2017 #127

Even sharing it with one person can violate the law NickB79 Nov 2017 #126

I was responding to the assertion that she must spooky3 Nov 2017 #129

He threatened to call the police if she exposed him RandySF Nov 2017 #38

The police confirmed an investigation madville Nov 2017 #42

Im curious about something... jberryhill Nov 2017 #52

This is why Weiner was pushed out. Corvo Bianco Nov 2017 #39

there were many reasons he was pushed out. Lying about his actions was one big one onenote Nov 2017 #88

I had actually forgotten about that mess. Thanks for the reminder. Corvo Bianco Nov 2017 #149

Another republican Religious pig is exposed and the leak is the big story? pwb Nov 2017 #55

Revenge porn? GulfCoast66 Nov 2017 #62

You don't know it was unsolicited. wasupaloopa Nov 2017 #65

Point made. GulfCoast66 Nov 2017 #73

Some people on this board don't care about freedoms when sex is involved. What two consenting adults wasupaloopa Nov 2017 #64

But apparently one of the consenting adults decided to harm the other. Kaleva Nov 2017 #108

Which one was that? wasupaloopa Nov 2017 #114

The one who released the pics and video of Barton. Kaleva Nov 2017 #124

Being a dirty old adulterer and hypocrite is not a crime. shanny Nov 2017 #121

I never said it wasn't. GoCubsGo Nov 2017 #122

according to many here Skittles Nov 2017 #154

Yeah, I noticed that. GoCubsGo Nov 2017 #159

If you take a photo of your private parts and send it to someone, I don't think you should have any Vinca Nov 2017 #75

Yep. At the very least, he's guilty of lacking common sense. GoCubsGo Nov 2017 #78

Hurray for more victim blaming Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #84

The amount of hypocrisy can be astounding, sometimes bearsfootball516 Nov 2017 #92

He's only a victim in that he has a fat, flabby, repulsive body and poor judgement. Vinca Nov 2017 #96

Aha! Here you are again True Dough Nov 2017 #93

I had to walk away for awhile yesterday as it as getting pretty disgusting Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #94

The law disagrees Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #79

It's a misdemeanor so anyone convicted would probably get a fine. Vinca Nov 2017 #82

Keeping in mind that most of these laws are designed to protect women Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #83

How did you feel about this: Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #105

I'm not familiar with it, but I think if you send intimate pictures to anyone you shouldn't be Vinca Nov 2017 #106

I dont disagree but... Loki Liesmith Nov 2017 #115

therefore you have no expectation of privacy of anything at all on your phone? onenote Nov 2017 #89

I think that's very true. People are hacked every day. Other people use your phone. Vinca Nov 2017 #95

If there is no expectation of privacy on phones, why is hacking them illegal? onenote Nov 2017 #98

You can expect anything. It doesn't mean it won't happen. Vinca Nov 2017 #100

Yes he's a fool But the law protects fools. onenote Nov 2017 #103

Smartphones. Landlines. Computers connected to the internet in your home. Expect no privacy Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #102

You have heard about all the hacks that have occurred recently . . . right? Vinca Nov 2017 #107

The law creates an expectation of privacy. onenote Nov 2017 #112

Expectation isn't certainty. Vinca Nov 2017 #116

Nope. Kaleva Nov 2017 #111

well, you SHOULD Skittles Nov 2017 #152

Did you make a similar post.... RhodeIslandOne Nov 2017 #144

I'm afraid I don't keep up with the stars and was unaware of it. Vinca Nov 2017 #146

He is in the bible belt, but they usually excuse such behavior which goes against their pretend Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #77

Extremely illuminating thread I must say. Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #86

For me, it gets to an issue of judgement. We hope our leaders have some basic common sense. Irish_Dem Nov 2017 #104

To me, it shows a lack of common sense. Kaleva Nov 2017 #109

Exactly, and could be dangerous, making him a blackmail target. Irish_Dem Nov 2017 #110

There's the problem MFM008 Nov 2017 #157

Exactly. Also objectionable, it appears these congressmen have a tax payer funded slush fund Irish_Dem Nov 2017 #158
