Comments

Topix.com

I think topix.com is a very bandly run forum. Its called a "news forum" but does not ask people to register to use it, and does not pro-activly manage its forum posts. I and others ,have been harassed and stalked by internet trolls on the forums. When we have complained to topix we do not even get a reply. People can post anything they like on the forums even if it offends others.

They do not ban people or have any filters on their system. Their whole forum on all forums has been destroyed by crazy posts and they have lost all credability as a worthy adult news forum.

Hello I am Wounded.
Because of Chris Tolles and the way he wants his EDITORS to harass the people of the towns they edit is wrong.

He is one low man to allow his so called news site to allow death threats to be posted and removed by his editors.

He will tell you they do not have that power.

Yet he lies.
I am a victim to how the site operates.
I am Wounded who is named in the lawsuit.

I will stand and fight them in court.
My real name is Steven Jones.
I came to topix to fight for justice over the death of my child.
The local law enforcement are the editors of topix here in Texarkana.
Smokintaz. 27 years retired from the Texarkana PD.

The corruption is deep here.
I made history using new law in the state of Texas by forcing the sorry jp Tilman Pyle out of office for falsifying my son's death certificate.

Through Open Records I have exposed Charley Green aka Smokintaz a law officer of Wake Village to be nothing but a liar!

Just go read a topix. There has been new ordinance created because of his lies.

He is not the honorable person he pretends to be.
