I don't think there was one Internet poster who was waiting for that day and if anything that probably turned them off from following the J.T. Colfax story line. Lance's being a guest host on the Dave Lucas radio show drew mixed feelings but it did give some an opportunity to call in to the show and voice their opinions and with that opportunity to voice our opinions, Matthews would continue to stress that the posters should confront Jameson. I know he did with me.

I don't think that is true. He may have encouraged both sides to go on the program to state their cases, but he never seemed eager to have any confrontation. Not at all. he wanted people to talk and share - - never asked me to participate in any Jerry Springer like program. (I would have declined.)

By the December 22nd show, I called in to the radio station and discovered via Matthews that he had Jameson on another telephone line also which I was surprised about since she had always posted that she would never go public plus I hadn't realized that Matthews had advanced from just e-mail with her to talking to her on the telephone. I personally hadn't planned on talking to Jameson at all. I directed a question to a guest that was on the show who was a reporter but by the time my question was put on the air, that reporter had disconnected. Matthews then said he had another person qualified to answer the question and he put Jameson on. This was also the first time I personally realized Jameson was a woman or at least had the voice of a woman.

Lance had asked me to speak out as a supporter of the Ramseys. I understood there would be BORG on the program as well - - but there was NEVER any suggestion we battle it out in an undignified manner. Lance promised to treat all of us with respect, not to invite verbal attacks or battles - and he was a man of his word. I know the BORG hated that - - but he did the right thing.

I don't need to tell you how irritated I was at Matthews. My question had to do with J.T. Colfax whereas Matthews had posted on behalf of Colfax on the BNF that Lou Smit was part of the plea bargain agreement with Colfax. I wanted to ask this reporter his professional opinion regarding that but got Jameson instead who said Smit was not part of the plea bargain agreement and that he was just wandering around the court house that day and wandered into the plea bargain meeting because he was curious about who J.T. Colfax was.

I had heard the story straight from Lou and Matthews knew it. Who was honestly in a better position to answer the question? No one, I think. So Matthews did the right thing - - but the BORG was furious because Matthews was not attacking me, treating me with undeserved disrespect or allowing them to.

And what made me angry was that Matthews agreed with Jameson 100% after he had already posted on the BNF just the opposite. He made Jameson sound like she was this most important person on the whole case. He knew I was aggravated on the telephone that night and he kept coming back on the phone line with me and telling this was a "Christmas Special" and that no confrontations were allowed so basically he was telling me to shut up. He let Jameson tell her story about Lou Smit and the hall wandering incident into the plea bargain room for the whole audience to hear. I was livid and I posted this story on the BNF as a radio show commentary which did not get a good response from Matthews, Lisa Flowers and even Jameson.

Didn't deserve response, as I recall.)

Months later when I got a hold of the audio tapes from that show date I could hear Jameson bad mouthing others on this "Christmas Special " and even calling Mrs. Brady the lynch mob yet I was not allowed to confront Jameson on the Lou Smit plea bargain incident with J.T. Colfax. Later Lance said he checked with J.T. Colfax who verified that Smit was in fact part of the plea bargain agreement and although he posted that on the BNF he did not do a retraction on the Dave Lucas Radio show.

Colfax was wrong - it was just what he thought - - not a fact.

Then by the Dec. 30th radio show Matthews had Pam Paugh on which he claimed later that he would not have gotten except for his new friendship with Jameson.

True. When he treated me with respect she believed he would treat her the same. The BORG would have rathered we would be silent and let them fill the airwaves with their lies - - and when he took Matthews and Lucas up on their invitation to speak - - they were really mad. Stark raving mad. Rabid, in some cases.

Dave Lucas sold Matthews as the "Internet Personality on the Ramsey case" and Matthews sold Jameson as the "Historian of the Ramsey case on the Internet." Lance Matthews, along with Dave Lucas are the ones who pumped Jameson up and promoted her ego and she ate it up.

No, I have never been one with a lot of ego. Not at all. I just do what I think is right at the time and deal with the consequences as they come.

And Matthews used Jameson for his "radio show guest list" and Jameson used Matthews for her voice to represent the Ramsey spin team on the Internet to the world. They were a team and the Dave Lucas show was their mode of operation.

Not how I felt at all. The BORG had their time on the Lucas program. Both sides got their shot - - there were no "teams" that I was aware of. (Except Matthews and Lucas)

On the January 1st show, Matthews changed that one program agenda on the radio show format to be only callers from the Internet forums. He advertised that the show was suppose to be about the Internet posters and he encouraged everybody to call into the station that night. Many gathered in the WROW chat room that night, probably 50 posters and Lisa Flowers was playing the chat room moderator. The show went on the air at midnight and two posters disrupted Matthews agenda, one being Samantha who called into the show using the "Dminor" hat name and the other being Lori who was using the "LooLoo" hat name at the time. Evidently Matthews thought he could control the radio callers to the show and he found that he was not able to do that.

Interesting they felt they had to use different names - - and that they felt they had to disrupt Matthews' program.

Samantha, as "Dminor" made Internet forum history by calmly calling in and told the world that Jameseon was a liar and had pretended to be a man and deceived many other Internet posters and that she was part of the Ramsey Spin team and that others should basically take what Jameson says with a "grain of salt" so to speak Lori, as "LooLoo," tried also to call into the show but Lisa Flowers blocked her by suddenly saying that the shows agenda was switched from being about the Internet posters back to only discussing J.T. Colfax. Lori was not the only one angry and it was obvious that the radio show switch on the subject was because of the Dminor call in that upset Matthews.

As I remember, he didn't really want the show to be another Boulder News slugout with people telling lies about other posters. I think people should respect that.

After the show was over all hell broke out on the BNF and Matthews came out with a fury using filthy language against Samantha, Lori and Denver and a few others. Lisa Flowers also got involved and was attempting to defend herself as well as Matthews via the Boulder News Forum discussion board regarding the radio call in that was blocked from Lori.

Ah.... they failed to support the BORG and they had to pay. The BORG eat their own young when they don't conorm - - a lesson I saw taught LONG before Matthews came online.

The war began on the Boulder News Forum January 2, 1999 and to this day Matthews claims he did not draw "first blood." The other posters claim that Matthews started the war. Then on Jan 3rd, the J.T. Colfax web site was hacked and Matthews went totally berserk blaming the posters under the hat names of Wiltonjr, Denver, Samantha, Lori, Catnip and I think Beanie got thrown in there somewhere.

ACR is forgetting to tell how G2 and others sent Matthews money - - I think they had to be doubly angry after they paid for his loyalty and found he wouldn't bow down to their pressure. So they attacked, and he was really angry. I can't blame him - - but am pleased to note he put the blame where it belonged - - on the BORG as a group.

Matthews basically shoved Jameson down the throats of the BNF posters now that he had his key to the Ramsey show guests which he obviously felt was Jameson, in my opinion. As a poster on the BNF, Matthews brought a whole new meaning to the word vulgar. What most Internet forum and chat room posters called "flaming" turned into "street language" by Matthews standards. Personally, it is my opinion that he did J.T.Colfax more harm than good when his promotional efforts went from just promoting Colfax to also promoting Jameson.

He didn't promote me. He simply didn't attack me. And he didn't want to be the person hosting a show meant to attack me when there was much more to discuss - - like the case.
