On cowards (and I don't mean Noel)
Okay, this is a public reply to a person who is too cowardly to allow my e-mails in his/her Inbox any longer--after, naturally, s/he fired off a winning little paragraph ranting that my ignorance of the law is surpassed only by the libelous and slanderous statements made by me about Ward Churchill in my piece on HawaiiReporter.com. And hey, out there, Mr/Ms PhD, I have returned tha favor of blocking e-mails from you. Below is the reply I tried to send to you, but I guess I'll just have to hope you wander by my neck of the blogosphere someday ;)
Yeah, 'cause I'm definitely the only one saying these things--not! And as for my ignorance of the law--when did I claim to be a lawyer? As for minor criminal stuff, from the Feb. 13, 2005 Denver Post, page 19A, the following:
"In 1977, Churchill and Dora-Lee Larson started living together in what divorce settlements describe as a common-law marriage. That ended in 1984 when Larson filed for divorce and asked to have her address kept secret because of 'past violence and threats' from Churchill."
"Since 1983 Churchill has had several minor run-ins with the law. He also has been stopped for speeding and driving without a valid license, according to court records. Officers and police records listed him as white. In 1996 Churchill clashed with a parking services employee and was cited for use of intimidation and violence on CU grounds. Those charges were dropped." (Yeah, I know, they were dropped, probably because of some sort of intimidation like the grade intimidation he has practiced against at least one student, or the CU member who was told over the phone to stop making waves about the renaming of a center there or she would come to regret it.)
"Additionally he has been sued more than a dozen times."
Now, as for my standing in a court--he'd have to prove that what I say is false. And he'd have to take a huge number of people to court along with me, including 2 high-powered Denver attorneys who have been unrelenting in digging up his sordid past. I ain't the only one saying these things, buddy ;)
