We'll be forced to disable your blog if this is not done in 24 hours.

Well, NOW we know why Mark REALLY took that post about me down. That "I'm protecting other people named Mark Firestone" bit was obviously too stupid to believe unless you're one of his giggle-toys. He was just preparing to act on warm, loving Earth-mother PJ's advice that he try to have my blog shut down for the insult of playing his own game better than he did.

I mean, HE PUT HIS OWN NUMBER ON THE WEB, WHERE IT STILL IS. It takes a special brand of gullibility to think that I endangered him with information that he himself had already posted. He simply can't stand the fact that you all know he was stupid enough to do it. Now you know what an underhanded, phony little whiner he is - for the umpteenth time.

It was on December 1st that Jefe wrote a comment to the effect that if I stop going to Mark's blog, Mark will leave me alone. I informed him that he was incorrect, because that had been my first ploy, and the attacks just kept coming. I did offer to prove it to him, though, so I haven't gone there since. It lasted 10 days. A mere 10 days before he's trying to have me shut down. And I've left him and his blog completely alone. Don't even try to tell me that he's being "reactive."

So be careful when you deal with him, if you are unfortunate enough to do so. If he sees you as a threat - and he obviously feels threatened by me - he'll concoct an excuse to try and get you shut down. This is how he "handles disagreement." This is how he handles speech he doesn't agree with. This is why he's a hypocrite and a liar every time he gets on his fucking pedestal and waves the flag - a flag that stands for freedom, strength, and bravery. Because when it comes right down to it, he does not want any free speech except that with which he agrees, and is coward enough to slink around behind one's back to get one removed from the internet.

You know, Mark, when you threatened me online, I didn't go to the authorities. But then again, I figured you'd be too much of a pussy to ever actually try anything. But the point is, I didn't go "running to mommy." Perhaps I should. I wouldn't doubt that your threat broke a law or two. Shall we find out? After all, you didn't do that at YOUR blog, where you could delete it and pretend it didn't happen. Your threat is still there in Lucy's comments.

Not enough stupidity? Okay..... how about this comment that showed up today?

I'm going to say this as a lawyer, you need to take this post down lest you find yourself in the midst of a libel action. Unlike Mark's decision to post your IP address (which contains no real indentifiable information), this is actionable.

And all of you who back this aren't any better yourselves.

Well, Folly - (or should I call you "Carol", or "Bar Slut?") you're just showing, once again, that "lawyer" does not equal "smart." First, you've already told us that you aren't a trial lawyer, so let us not pretend. Secondly, "libel" requires that you prove:

1. That I published something about Mark that is untrue. Mark is the one who's been publishing lies, over and over and over. So that should be fun.
2. That the info I published has caused Mark to suffer a loss. The only loss Mark has suffered is the loss of intelligent friends who don't like the way he acts. Oh, and any semblance of manhood, but I didn't take that away from him. He never had it in the first place.
   

So, no, Carol, I don't think you're going to sue me for libel.

Thirdly, if you had bothered to read before you posted, you would have seen that the phone number had already been replaced by text and the links were disabled. I did that yesterday when your pussy boyfriend had Blogdrive send me a threat.

I didn't mind. The existence of the threat shows, once and for all, that Mark KNOWS deep inside his little heart of hearts that he is nowhere near being smart enough or man enough to deal with me by himself.

Oh, and you seem to think I'm scared of legal action on the basis that I endangered Mark. What a laugh. No judge is going to accept that I endangered Mark by linking to info that Mark himself posted. Only regular readers of his blog are stupid enough to buy that.

Like you. I'll give you credit for one thing, though - you didn't make up some stupid fucking pseudonym like "Jesus of NM" and use a proxy server. Small credit, to be sure, but deserved.

So, what advice do people have for me now? I've tried leaving him be, and he can't let it rest. He keeps dredging up old shit, posting with glee about my misfortunes, mocking my mother's death. I've tried sticking to the actual topic at other people's blogs, and you know he can't do that. Once a fact gets thrown in his face, he's back to his own blog throwing his poop like the simian intellect he embodies, making up anything he can come up with to discredit me so no one will notice that he cannot counter my argument itself. Fighting back only makes him go runnning to your blog provider to get you shut down.

Is there anybody - anybody besides Mark's mouthpieces, that is - who is going to continue telling me that I am in some way provoking this? Is there any doubt that it is Mark and his Witches of Eastwick that have the obsession? I was - more than once- accused of organizing efforts to make everyone hate Mark. None of you have seen these efforts. Can anyone doubt, though, that Mark has done the exact thing to me that he, Gekko, and PJ have all accused me of doing to him? Certainly JennyJinx and Blogfest Tim, who both recieved "watch out for Joe" e-mails, can't.

And Mark - just for curiosity's sake - have you EVER in your life handled a problem on your own, instead of running to a woman or an authority figure to handle it for you? You never face me head-on. You run to your blog, where you can alter comments, to take swipes at me but normally have someone else come here to bash me. Don't you get tired of hiding behind skirts? Haven't you ever wanted to stand up for yourself like a man, instead of acting like a little boy?

By the way - that site you put up with your phone number? Might want to take it down. That is, if having that number on the web REALLY endangers you. If it DOESN'T, then what is this all about?

If you leave that number up, you admit that this is not about the danger of having personal info on the net.

You are admitting, by leaving that page up, that this is just ANOTHER in a long list of ways to get even with me for not liking you.

Poor baby.
