    I'm not sure of the origin of the information about the forum shutting down. Several have mentioned it here. This is my first post on this subject, but I don't know whether to label it a subject or a rumor. If the forum shuts down it certainly won't be because of me. I don't have the power...

    RE: Justin Facts - The account should have never been banned. I believe it was banned to discourage work on tpg. That is as frank as I can state it. RE: "we" - I answered that but I'll offer a little more since you were respectful in your post. It was really to underscore that I'm not acting...

    I have patiently answered several of your questions as well. There seems to be a philosophy with some of you that if you beat on me harder it's productive. Sorry, I cannot reinforce this behavior. If you'd like to be civil and engage in professional discourse, I'd be happy to oblige.

    "Military Phonies", "POW Network", "Fake Warrior Project", "I Am My Brother's Keeper", "This Ain't Hell". I've done a case with "Guardian of Valor" but they're somewhat separate. There are a lot of people on the team, with a lot of different expertise and we all work together. Comprised of...

    That's not true. There was no misrepresentation at all and it is unfair of you to suggest this. Justin Facts immediately identified himself and his intent behind the scenes to the owner/admin/moderators. The rest of your post is a fishing expedition. I'm not biting, sorry. I've given you...

    That's good. ;-) Do you have aspirations to be an investigator? My rule of thumb is 'Never ask a question that I can find the answer to myself.' Usually when I do ask a question I already know the answer, I just want to see how they respond to the question. Google is your friend.

    Almost correct, but good. Yes, Justin Facts was the original poster that voiced his concerns to the owner/admin/moderaters. Justin Facts was banned and cited the reason "Too many private messages to the admin/moderators." This was just after he was told that TPG was free to keep posting...

    -Bull-, good post. 1) Remove posting restrictions placed on the account of Justin Facts 2) Place a disclaimer on the front page of SAF *prominently* stating that you are NOT affiliated with any US Service Academy, US Government, Department of Defense, nor is there any implied endorsement 3)...

    Policy related mods. Please explain to me what your role is with all of this. Will you now be taking the lead on all negotiations? I've observed that despite a noble mission, this forum seems to have members that treat it more like a social club than an advisory forum for prospective SA...

    TPG was never banned. In fact, we were told he was free to continue posting. He may have been banned now as a result of this thread. Unfinished business - I had a short list of items I had requested the owner/admin to consider that I would like acted upon. I am still awaiting a response to...

    I'm puzzled as to why several of you suggested that media attention is a bad thing for this forum. Why? You do great things here and wouldn't having some attention not only help the credibility of the site, but allow for prospective students to become aware of the efforts here? Not only...

    Respectfully, I don't see this going in a good direction. Am I a coward in your eyes if I do not freely admit who I am on an open forum? I believe there are forum rules centered around revealing identities and there may be one about interrogating someone for theirs. Can you tell me why you...

    Stolen Valor

    One can monitor and read the posts because it is a public forum. One must join to post. More importantly, it is the only way to speak with the owner/admin/moderators. If your question goes deeper than that, all I can say is that I have unfinished business.

    The answer to all of your questions is 'no'. Then again, I never made any of these claims so there was no misrepresentation on my part. I fit other criteria. In another post... I have not seen a suggestion such as this, but my memory is fading as I get older. ;-) It certainly was not my...

    I suspect something got lost in translation. 'bruno' used a specific user name vs commenting in general and I in turn used a specific user name in the same context. Looking to get along here so please don't read anything adversarial in that. On another topic, the news media has picked up on...

    As in, 'nothing to see here'? That's the beauty of everyone having differing opinions and allowing for open, respectful discussion. It may be unreasonable to expect a huge change of mind, but there is always potential for change of perspective. On this point we disagree, I think there is...

    Why would Freda be brought into question? Because she (I assume) has an opinion that differs from yours? I was close to this investigation and I will share some facts with you. At NO time were the owner/administrators asked to identify somebody. They were provided proof of the findings of...

    Out of curiosity, how were you able to come to this conclusion? John Tully, a Beirut veteran, a friend, and someone I checked with frequently to verify stolen valor claims having to do with Beirut, took his own life this past February. He suffered from PTS. Many of these stories trigger...

    TacticalNuke wrote: "This site exists to help candidates, parents, and others interested in Service Academies, ROTC, and similar programs." Good policy and I support it. The surviving veterans of Beirut and the family next-of-kin of the fallen servicemen of Beirut have dealt with tremendous...

    His daughter never went to law school, never went in the USMC, and never was JAG. TPG was hopeful at one time for her to go to an academy but she changed her mind. There appeared to be some motivation on his part to "grease the skids" by joining this forum when she expressed interest in an...
