Hi Friends,
I’m Sgt Pepper and I’m the landlord of this site. Like my colleagues, I like to expose crooks, cronies, and crab-asses. But it’s not just about the villains. I also like to sing praises to those heroes and heroines of the world who make life a little bit better for all of mankind.
I’m not committed to one religion, one political party, or one race or creed. I embrace all people of all nations of all beliefs in hopes that we can celebrate our solidarity with alliances of peace and prosperity for everyone, not just the one percent on top. Regardless of what we call our Creator, He is Lord, Father, and Protector of all living things and I DO NOT believe that He encourages or condones killing for any reason, ESPECIALLY in His name! My philosophy is an ancient one: Live and let live, do no harm, judge no one, and love everyone (as best you can).
Everyone on my team has issues with the Southern states, so we’ve decided to share these territories. In addition to the Dixie Lands—where they still fly confederate flags and call Northerners Yankees—Mr. Kite is handling the Pacific West and Northwest; Lucy is covering the East and Northeast; Molly is managing the middle of the country plus a few “other” countries (when she travels); and I’m representing the Intermountain regions including the Southwest. Well, that’s the plan, anyway; but don’t be surprised if Mr. Kite wanders down to New Orleans on occasion, Molly strolls off to Colorado or the Grand Canyon, or Lucy kicks some redneck ass (her words, not mine) in South Alabama or East Texas. Our readers come from all corners of the planet, so—who knows?
Other favorite topics (for me) include SciFi books, films, art, music, and anything else that touches on futuristic worlds, technology, or lifestyles. I have degrees in communications and computer science with a minor in psychology and, like my colleagues, I guess I’m also a computer/technology geek. Hey, these days, everything’s technology, right? I also like to cook, invent new recipes, grow my own food, and stay fit and trim (skiing on snow or water, snowboarding, rock climbing, camping, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, and baseball).
We review all complaints and publish anything/everything that qualifies as your personal experience or your opinion. We do not publish hearsay or second-hand versions of events. Remember libel is defined as “a written or published false statement that damages a person’s reputation; i.e., defamation of character. The keywords here are “false statements.” That means you cannot call someone a liar, a thief, a fraudster, adulterer, or murderer, etc. without proof. However, you can express an “opinion” about an individual such as; for example: I don’t trust this man because he withheld vital information.
Or you can describe an experience such as; for example: The man said the cost was $1000; I wrote it down, and he confirmed it in front of his assistant. Then he left the room and the assistant worked up a written quote for me to sign that said $1200. When I corrected her, she left to confer with her boss, then came back and said the price was $1250. I left and never returned. Notice that I did not say the assistant was a liar, unethical, or stupid. I just shared the experience and let you, the reader, draw your own conclusions.
That said, send me your emails and we’ll chat about crooks, cronies, and crab-asses or heroes and heroines. Make your case, keep it simple and to the point, don’t accuse or defame the schmuck who wronged you, just tell your story and we’ll publish it.
Cheers!
