Usually, the first step in claiming a copyright infringement is to contact the person you claim to be infringing and ask politely for the material to be removed. But how would THAT look to a gaggle of lickspittle readers who make you feel like a tough guy?
So, WJJ Hoge went right to Step 7 and contacted my ISP for this blog and ordered them to order me to take down a post that included his recent episode of “Blognet.” You remember? The post where he tries to drag up the whole Lee Stranahan affair again for no good reason as Mr. Stranahan and I haven’t had words in months? No, the reason for posting that on his blog is that he knows he has his readers whipped up into a fever pitch of mindless hatred and reminding them of the “horrible, terrible, bad, bad thing” I did to Stranahan (by questioning why he told three different stories about the death of his daughter and how that raised suspicions given his decades-long career as a grifter, pornographer and pimp). Hoge was no doubt pleased that his readers had graduated to sending anonymous death threats and wishes to drive more reader traffic to his dry, popcorn fart of a blog by stoking up even more anger. He forgets, of course, to explain why the charges Stranahan filed against me were dropped, choosing instead to say that I am “still at large.”
That’s fine. It’s Hoge’s script. I already sent a copy and an explanation thereof to the Howard County State’s Attorney’s office, so it’s served its purpose.
So, unlike Mr. Hoge who has no compunction whatsoever with lifting whole works of others and posting them on his blog as it suits him, I acquiesce. The script in which he tries to get his readers to kill me is gone.
I hope this will suffice.
The comment section is open. But the word seems to have gone forth across the land that Daddy doesn’t want the threats to be traceable back to his blog. So folks are being more careful.
We have a pretty good idea who PEMason54 is. At any rate, we know whereabouts he lives. He can wait for the phone call.
So can Mr. Hoge.
