If you are a convicted sex offender on probation or deferred adjudication and are subject to mandatory polygraph screening in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I would be interested in communicating with you privately regarding polygraph practices in the Metroplex. If you are a registered user of this message board, you can contact me by private message. Alternatively, I can be reached by e-mail to maschke@antipolygraph.org or by a variety of instant messaging programs, my contact information for which is linked at the bottom of this post.

  Now Honestly !!!!  If I were the sentencing Judge in any sex offender's case who ordered compliance by them, and you came along and tried to undermine that------- Why shouldn't the Judge hold you in comtempt of his court ????  Further, if that person later admits that he spoke with you, and was inspired by you to use CM's, and further molested a child, then why should you not be regarded as a co-conspirator in that crime.   

  Many who read this site feel it is bad enough that you respond to such people who are self identified as sex offenders on this site, but in this case you are actually soliciting for them.  Why ?  Just because you do not like some particular Examiner or company in the Dallas area ?  Not good enough to interfere with a Judges order / sentencing, and it shows a calous disregard for the safety of children in the Dallas area for your own selfish desire to undermine the polygraph.  You actually put yourself above the safety of those children in your obsession.  You blatently seek to open the legal "container" on the legal "containment" model.  The eyes of Texas are upon YOU.  !!!!

It's understandable that you have a problem with SO's passing a poly. Harming a child in any way is tragic and unacceptable. The problem with your statement is it appears you believe everyone tested will have something to hide. That assumption, if it is what it is, cannot be verified with a painted statement or a glorified notion. 

I do not believe that George is trying to protect an SO's abhorrent behavior and put a child in danger. I also believe that a small percentage of dangerous SO's would pass a poly even without the info on this site. Also, there are a lot of SO's who have not offended a child. Still, that matter doesn't make it right. Nonetheless, the message I read was all SO's are child molesters. But we all know better than this.

It's not a matter of protecting SO's, I believe they need to be supervised and treated and serve out their punishment. However, I believe there is a realistic danger of one failing even though the person is being truthful. This being the case would put this individual in a situation of either making a false confession or denying the false accusation and be persecuted for it. Either way there is hell to pay for failing, even if one is being truthful. Is that fair? I think not. It's unfortunate that some folks on this site seem to pretend this would never happen.

The eye's of GOD are upon US...

       Guard Dog & George,

    In your last statements you seem to forget that a standing Judge who is the arbitrator of Truth in our democracy has made a decision that these convicted sex offenders WILL comply with their treatment program of which polygraph is a part.  You DO NOT have a right to interfere in that program as these people no longer have full civil rights that others enjoy.  In doing so you are in contempt of the court, and for which a warrant should be issued for your arrest.  These Sex Offenders suffer from a psychological disorder, are wards of the court, and your interference in that process for no good possible outcome is in defiance of the goals established for these people in treatment.   

  Guard Dog, you seem to forget that some of these Sex Offenders are on probation for life, and YES they do have something to hide, like where they are at any given time in regard toward working their way up toward their next victim.  Remember, there is nobody in the equation that claims they can CURE these folks; only that they can be treated and deactivated from acting out.  George is no less than implanting in them the suggestion that they can act out, get away with it, and NOT be caught.  If you don't see the logic in that, then you either are a sex offender (hopefully not), not a father / grandfather, or too dam liberal.  In either case, the function of this site should be seperate and apart from encouraging this special catagory of dangerous felons whom we all find unacceptable in society.  Remember, without their program the ONLY alternative is to warehouse them in Jails / Prisons.      

       Hi Guard Dog,

    You must be a mutt !!!  I have no such rage as you have mentioned.  I sit and write from my computer in a calm and considered manner.  It is you who use psycho-babble terms here which would lead me to believe that YOU either are in treatment, or have been.  In regard to absorbing actual "Information", there wasn't much other than opinion vs. information for consideration.   

    In regard to what you feel is an attack on the moderator, I have only pointed out what is in fact the legal status of these sex offenders in their being wards of the court / convicts; and that the solicitation of them is in and of itself for THEM not in compliance with their program, and that nothing good can come from it.  George's obsession, and perhaps yours too, with the use of the polygraph has lead to his crawling into the gutter with these sex offenders for that passsion, as well as his apparent relations with radical Islamic types verbally about this subject, and that both groups are intent on harm to this nation in both the micro and macro.   

   Now really Guard Dog, you do seem on guard a bit too much, and not much more intelligent than my pure breed of dog.  One can find your lot at any dog pound if they choose to save same from lethal injection / disposal, but I choose to invest my time and efforts in a better breed which has proven itself over time.   

   Perhaps the problem I see here with You and George is that you begin with a false premise; That All Sides Are of Equal Value in This.
I say B.S. to that !!!!   The ruling and opinions of the Judges in these cases are NOT equal to those sex offenders opinions.  George's desire to "Seek Information" is NOT equal to the sentence in place by such a Judge for these people to remain in compliance.  Your attempt to say I am somehow un-American is NOT equal to what and who I am and what I have done FOR America.  George's and perhaps your opinion about the use of the polygraph is NOT superior or even equal to the importance of this nation's desire for national security.  He / You offer no solutions for that, and fail to see that good men and women of equal or superior dedication to this country are working with the BEST tools they have, despite your tearing away at that.   

  When you line yourself up with convicted child molesters (domestically) and radical middle eastern Islamics (while abroad), and encourage them both toward activity which is NOT in the best interest of public safety and national security then you are no less than an enemy of the nation I know; and both in the foreign and domestic sense of that word.   

  In parting Mutt, my blood pressure is 120/80, and you don't possess what it takes to move my blood pressure where you thought it might be.  You appear to be a common denominator in a world seeking to reward better people.  Maybe you'll someday rise to the occassion.
For now you have alligned yourself with he who would demonize some of the best and brightest in the intel community, and who seeks to baptize the child molesters, and turn over part of his former family's treasure to the enemies of this nation.  Your rewards are NOT in heaven.

Actually, I only have a few questions to ask of them regarding their post-conviction polygraph screening. To the best of my knowledge, convicted sex offenders are not required to swear omerta to keep the secrets of the polygraph community.

No, I did not realize that which you claim. Please document this assertion.

     Okay,

  A sex offender in a treatment program on probation / parole may have that status up and including for life.  While in the program either the treatment provider or the probation officer may violate them and have them revoked which means jail / prison.  The program is a priviledge, and not  right.  In fact, while on probation they do NOT have their full civil rights.  Further, they may not communicate outside of group treatment with other felons.  They, and the language is usually broad as interpreted by a Judge, Treatment provider, or probation officer; may not perform any action which leads them forward in the cycle of deviance.  They may not discuss out of group their polygraph experiences, questions, methods, results, etc.  To any reasonable person then, their communicating with you as a part of Anti-Polygraph.com is in fact an    Anti-Program measure for them. They are not making a commitment to the polygraph community per se, but rather to the macro treatment program as not to undermine its function for themselves or others.  Your efforts are a contaminent in that legal process for them, and they know it.  In fairness to you, NOW you know it.

      Hi T.M.
   
     Did you not just see me participate in a civil explanation to G.M. about the conditions sex offenders live under as ordered by a Judge ?
What was your problem with that ?  Are you so entrenched in your position that you reach to the fringes of having no argument that you have to reference the middle ages ?  You may find if and when you are open to it that the Truth does not rest in the fringes, and in regard to the computer polygraph it's proponents have already stated it is not perfect but significant , while its detractors still try to use that less than pefect admission as if it had no value at all.  I would rather believe that people of your side of the aisle might mature and also admit that technology, techniques, and their applications get better with time.  Simply trying to tear down that which is, and has been proven valuable; and without any replacement for same, is a waste of time and energy.  Reach down deep now, and in your cool sobering maturity, tell me what you would replace the polygraph with that is both more affordable and reliable.  I still have been waiting for that answer from you folks, you see only passed over applicants here and those claiming the shadow of "I told the Truth" in their tests who spew out only negativity, and no reality.
