Halliburn plans to sue Blogger for defamation/libel/whatever

Postby Dr Fever » Fri May 08, 2009 5:16 pm

Just passing on some info to you...thought somebody here might find it interesting.

It is worth noting the blogger in question is a native West Virginian, WVU alum and worked in Charleston for a few years before getting a job with the DC Examiner

Here's the post where said blogger reveals Haliburns intentions

And this is the post (and reader comments) that caused all the uproar in the first place

He should be on some sort of watch list.
Homeland security or secret service.
Something.

What I wonder is how is he is paying for all these lawsuits?

He's just mad because the people on that blog, myself included, have bombarded him with reason and logic.

I "almost" feel bad for the guy. He has serious mental problems and doesn't realize it. He gets obssessed with attacking someone and can't let it go. Sad.

Hey Mark! You DO know you got your ass HANDED to you by a girl, right? The weaker sex? If this was 20 years ago, I would say Mark got his ass KICKED by a girl!!!! If you had any friends, they'd never let you live this down. Thankfully you have us, and we'll never let you live this down, douche.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Didn't that fruitcake mention he had a baby on the way one time? If that's true, dude...get off the damn computer, quit obsessing about Wal-Mart, see a shrink, and spend some time with your kid.

Mark, seriously...you're gonna keel over from a heart attack if you don't stop. In the words of Wal-Mart, just "live better!"

I know I'm easily-confused and maybe not the brightest bulb in the box, but, damn.
I could only get through a few paragraphs of this stuff before my head was spinnin'.


I mean, damn.

Did you guys know that Hallburn used to be the morning on air "talent" for Mix 100.9? The fat, sandal wearing, "king of all Media", would sneak into sales meeting, grabing the donuts and bear claws off the tables, and quickly waddle back to the studio. This was just a few steps down the hall from the WKLC Rock 105 control room. He dreamed of replacing the 105 PD, Bill Bopp, but owner Lynn Martin didn't see it that way. Before he was fired from the St. Albans stations, he got fired from Best Buy in Huntington, as a sales clerk. He's a real piece of work.

Hallburn is a man of wide and varied experience.
All bad.


He is working as a telemarketer in Huntington now.

Ditto. And the speed, acceleration, and escalation......

Man...the stories about this guy just keep getting better.

I'd LOVE to know if he's even married and has a baby. I mean...what woman in her right mind would marry or even bonk a man like this?
Many thanks!

His story was that he returned from California with his wife to care for wife's aged and ill mother.
I think the mother has croaked and Hallburn and his wife now have the estate.
The estate value (house) is supposedly worth less now that Wal*Mart is a neighbor.
I suspect that Wal*Mart would not purchase the house or mom did not die quick enough.
The situation with the big store is maybe a bid to get them to buy the house.
I have no idea why he has taken on the Putnam county government other than
Wal*Mart called the cops to stop trespassing and harassment of the workers there.
I would think that a house close to a shopping center would be a bonanza for
business opportunities for someone who didn't want a quick buck.
Someone please send the blogger chick a picture of Mark and the fish.
Mark also did not last long as a reporter/web guy at a crappy TV station
near myrtle Beach.

But still...what SANE woman would want to marry this guy??

Is she a native Californian? One would think that those west coast women would have higher standards. I can't imagine a woman being swooned over some douchebag "having dinner" with the cast from CHIPS.

OH! 20 bucks says she's a mail-order bride!
