Eric, you are such an incredible dick.  Try reading this, then
tell me if you think continuing to run off at the mouth about
Len Rose is such a hot idea.  Gee, let's all speculate about
why Len got busted.  Gee, let's all speculate about why Len
got fired.  Let's try for some NEW rumours, surely the old one
are tired and worn out by now.

    "Speculations here about Len's guilt or innocence will only hurt
     him. No one who has posted so far has the full facts about this
     case, which makes such speculation particularly irresponsible,
     in my opinion."

I didn't write this, but repeatedly when I ask people to
BE QUIET all I get is this stupid "are you threatening to
sue me?"  "why don't you just sue me?"  "I have here a
list..." bullshit.  GET A CLUE.  LISTEN TO YOUR RESIDENT
ATTORNEY AND QUIT SPECULATING ABOUT LEN.

Greg Hennessey wrote that if I want to be part of the
solution that I should stop posting so much.  I wrote
Greg a letter saying he should cancel his posting.  Now,
which one of those two statements follows the advice in
the above paragraph best?  Greg speculating about why
Len was fired, or my asking people to quit speculating?

Now, how many of you want Len's legal problems to drag
on a few more months so you can gossip and rumourmonger
amongst yourselves?  Would everyone in favor of making
matters worse for Len please post another article on
this topic, and please, add a little extra "conjecture"
and "speculation" and of course, don't "self censor"
yourself.  Can't give the appearance of acting in a
responsible fashion, now can we?
