After the press jumped all over this story when he was arrested, they barely mentioned today that he has been cleared of any wrong doing. ROCK ON PETE, ROCK ON!!!

    Typical, the media usually blows things out of proportion just to get people to buy or watch the crap. Now that he's cleared, it doesn't make for a selling story, so no coverage.

    One thing that disturbs me is that even though he was cleared of any wrong doing, they still put him on the national register of sex offenders.

    WHAT THE F%&$ IS UP WITH THAT???

    They said even though he was cleared, he is still put on that national register of sex offenders since he accessed a child **** site. He said he was doing research for an upcoming book since he believes he was molested when he was young.

    Sorry, that is pure wrong! You get cleared of charges, but still get put on that sex offender list.

    Hey F1 ..I love Pete and his work....but I don't think he was exactly cleared, if I remember right he did get some kind of probation or repremand and IS now on the Offenders List, he is now registered as someone involved with child pornography....It sounded like another case of OJ to me just being to afford the right lawyer......He obviously did somthing wrong.

    This is great!!! Russman turned me on to this "ignore user" feature which you can access from "user profile" and it works! You enter the name of the person you wish to ignore and their comments are gone! I can see that a person on my ignore list said something but unless you try to look at it, it is gone. I whole heartedly suggest that any polk members not into dealing with loosers and/or con artists employ this function.

    Current users destined to con artist looser status is as follows:

    We just need to ensure that we insert warnings as necessary in the future to protect newbies. Polk isn't doing anything about him and if they want us to stop they will let us know, I'm sure. You saw how fast he got thrown off of the HT site and how many names he has on ebay due to negative feedback... I can't believe they let him pray on newbies on this site!

    Like I said, you've got NO class, NO morals, NO friends, NO brains and NO chance of ever outwitting me!!!

    Now, go stand in front of the mirror and repeat until it sinks in, "Scott Trigg is a pathetic POS." I'm thinking the process could take years, but I have the utmost faith that it will reach one of the two gray cells that you were blessed with.:rolleyes:

    BTW, I noticed that you haven't refuted the fact that you were caught in a bold face lie about buying those 3.1TL's. Feel free to address the forum concerning that, I'm sure we'd all like to hear that BS story.

    Is that what you guys have been talking about? (the bozo filter). I've heard that term over and over on here but I didn't think it meant anything tangible. You guys gotta clue me in on this stuff!!!

    Wow, great stuff, the best way to deal with people with warped vindiction who thrive on sensationalism is to IGNOR them. Insults only fuel their disease.
