[Vision2020]Getting to draw the lines and pseudonyms

[keely emerinemix]

If Joan Opyr ever harrassed, intimidated, threatened, or libeled anyone on 
this list, or anyone else, I would know, because she is my friend.  And 
because I hold her in such high regard, such behavior would precipitate my 
personal, firm, and timely rebuke.  She hasn't.  She is sharp of pen and 
mighty of word, but she has not crossed those lines.

Fortunately, being a dolt isn't a crime, either, however unpleasant I find 
the reading of doltish ramblings and rants . . .

Joan,

  You ask what laws you have violated. OK, here are a few  for to start. 
Harassment, intimidation, and making threats. As for  libelous, how about 
looking back at some of your own emails and online  publications.

  Refusing to accept the reality that J Ford is  Jackie Woolf, that is fine, 
if you are unable to read her IP address  stamps and match numbers that is 
believable. Some people refuse to read  and believe the dinosaurs were 
around 65 million years ago and not ten  thousand. But then again, just 
because it is published information does  not mean it is any good, I mean 
didn't somebody publish something you  tried to call a book?

   Take Care,

   _DJA

Keely is correct, and if she doesn't mind, I'll add a few things to her
list:

1. Name one law that I've violated, Donovan.  Any single one.  Were you
thinking, perhaps, of Idaho's sodomy laws?  If so, then you need to
keep up with recent Supreme Court decisions.  You also need a mirror.

2. Like Keely, I am an individual.  The term "intolerista" is a
Wilsonism I find distasteful, offensive, and with which I do not
identify.  You will not find me calling myself an intolerista, not even
for the sake of amusement.  Similarly, I don't expect Dale Courtney or
Doug Farris to embrace the terms "Dougsciple" or "Doug's Thugs."  These
terms express my personal disdain for these men, but I wouldn't expect
to read the word "Dougsciple" in the local newspaper.  The  same should
be true of the neologism "intolerista."  Unfortunately, "intolerista"
as been used by the Trib's Jim Fisher and Tom Henderson.  Both should
be ashamed.  Obviously, it's a been a long time since either attended
an ethics in journalism class.

3. It is not libel to email Don Huskey personally and tell him that you
think he's a peeping Tom.  It's rude, crude, stupid and foolish, but
it's not libel.  When it becomes libel is when you make that accusation
to a third party, i.e., the hundreds of people on this list.  You have
long since crossed the line, Donovan.  Step back.  Step back now.

PS: Until or unless J. Ford identifies on this list as Jackie Woolf, I
will assume J. Ford is J. Ford.  I will also assume that metk7 is
metk7, that Edna Wilmington is Edna Wilmington, and I will address Faul
Ottomatticks, Stigmatta X and any number of other pseudonymous posters
by whatever nom de plumes they happen to choose.  Why not?  George
Eliot is still George Eliot, and George Sand still George Sand.  For
all we know, Donovan, you might be Deep Throat.
