[Vision2020] Not Being Such A Self Absorbed Little Princess, Michael Metzler

[g. crabtree]

  Mr. Metzler, you have an unusual idea of (among other things) what constitutes libel. You create content on your blog for public consumption and consideration. A member of your fan club picks it up and trots it over to the Viz where I express my personnel  opinion based on it. If you think this is what a winning libel case is based on I suggest that you consult with your crack legal team and get back to me. In the mean time I'm sure that you'll forgive me if I go back to ignoring your dire warnings for the downfall of civilization at the hands of a maniacal Presbyterian, along with your preposterous threats. Sorry to be the pea under your mattress. Friday good for that beer, Caroline?

  Subject: [Vision2020] Gary Crabtree: Please Leave Me Alone



  Crabtree Writes:

   

    "What's surprising is that he didn't imagine that he saw the four horsemen of the apocalypse ride up to drop off whatever he thought would make for more breathless outrage in the "wood."" 

   

  It seems to me that the only vandalism going on at the immediate moment is to my personal blog and my own good name.  Once again, Gary, you have intentionally lied about the nature of my writing. This is called 'libel.' As I hope you understand, libel is a bad thing, morally and socially. Libel typically causes damages to a person psychologically, emotionally, and generally to a person's good name and a person's ability to pursuit liberty and happiness; further, libelous activity damages a person's ability to pursue a career and maintain the kind of reputation a person needs in a small community in order to enter into contracts and earn a living for himself and his family. This is why we have a judicial system and laws about intentionally lying about somebody else in order to cause them harm. In other words, you do not have to stab someone with a knife or rape them or break into their house and steal from them to illegally cause them harm.

   

  Gary, please cease from this activity and leave me alone; if you leave me alone I will leave you alone. Outside of protecting myself from your initiated libel, I have nothing to say to you or about you outside of the fact that I hear you are a good locksmith.  The only person under discussion here who actually has a problem initiating harmful and libelous attacks with no rational motivation or justification is you.  Please cease this activity immediately. If you have criticism for me that does not include intentionally lying about me in order to damage my reputation, however, I'm all ears and would love to sit down with you over a beer to hear your concerns. If your schedule is too busy for this, then please just draft up a short essay criticizing me and I will post it to Pooh's Think.  

   

  As for Wilson's mailbox:  

  Three indisputable facts: 1) Wilson's inclusion of my name on a police report was both scary and hilarious; Wilson has known me and my family for over a decade. 2) The post J Ford just linked to and the post Crabtree is commenting to was nothing more than a light-hearted, short email from myself to Doug Wilson.  The email is funny and there is no outrage found in the post at all, as Gary would know if he did in fact read the short post. 3) I wish J Ford would stop writing about Doug Wilson on Vision 2020. I do not know J Ford and I have no association with her; any statements that imply otherwise reveal only that Wilson has successfully manipulated certain writers here.  If J Ford is Jackie (which she denies) then I do believe Douglas Wilson would have the right to offer concern and include her name on a police report; and I will be the first to stand up and defend Wilson from any local lynch mob that would seek to unjustly cause him harm.

   

  I did see very suspicious behavior in front of Wilson's mailbox, and I will continue to notify Wilson of anymore I see in the future. Wilson has lied about me and attacked me numerous times, and has a history of intending to cause me harm. I do not personally believe there is any real boundary to what Wilson would be willing to do in order to payback or silence an opponent; this is now the sincere assumption I act according to. If anyone does not want to read any possible future notifications of suspicious behavior in front of Wilson's mailbox, please do not read my web site. 

   

  Tom: thanks for posting "My Town" to your web site; this is a great way to further inform the public about some of the strange things going on here in Moscow.

   

  Thank You
