They are amused by the threats

It's funny how things spread so fast. It's called viral on the internet. I have not contacted anyone from the media, in fact, those who contacted me, I told them "no comment," since my comments are all here in the Grapevine.

The New Times has weighed in on this issue here.

And I'd like to say something about those of you who keep saying I caved in and I gave in to the request out of fear or whatever. If you really believe that then you don't know me, because I have never backed down from anything in my life, in fact, I have gotten in trouble many times in my life for not backing down. I don't back down. (Isn't that a song?)

In fact, during the Mercy project brouhaha, I was getting notices, letters and threats from the Related Group's attorneys. They wanted me to to remove many many comments left about certain subjects related (no pun intended) to Michelle Spence-Jones and other things. They wanted me to reveal all the anonymous commenters by having me hand over the IP addresses. In fact, regarding Sarnoff, they were claiming that many of the knowledgeable comments coming from the inside were coming from Sarnoff's office and they wanted that info from me. I declined. I fought them every step of the way and have never ever revealed the identity of an anonymous commenter or an IP address.

I have attorney letters here that start with, "If you reveal this letter to anyone, you are in big trouble . . ." This coming from a respected attorney!

Anyway, I never did give them the info they wanted and all the comments are still posted.

I have only removed comments in the past from people who said they were libeled by an anonymous person. And in all fairness I removed the comment. If a comment is signed and has a real name, I won't remove the comment.

As for the Sarnoff comment, I really didn't remove the comment, in fact you have all read it over and over, it is part of the letter sent by Sarnoff's attorney and it is highlighted in yellow. So did I really remove the comment or not? It's there in bright yellow!
