Subject: CAUGHT IN YOUR OWN LIE
Status: RO

I just re-visited your webpage, to find that you are now using my posts to
you, requesting that you remove references to me from your list of supposed
nazis and racists, as a further vehicle to defame me with fabrications, to wit:

I first wrote to you on July 4, at 12:35 a.m. and due to a problem in
sending which indicated the first post may not have gone to you, I resent
this same post on July 4 at 1:27 a.m.  I have both original posts with the
time stamps.

On your webpage, you now claim the following:

                            Linda Thompson
                            threatens legal action



The following message was received on July 3, 1996, by electronic mail:

    You are advised that I have already begun the process of suing the
Anti-Defamation League for writing numerous
    false and defamatory articles about me and that you have republished one
such article. You are not immune from suit
    in the United States for the republication of libel. 

    This is your notice required by Indiana law prior to suit that I intend
to sue you, and the organizations sponsoring
    you, Congregation Emanu-El, 1461 Blanshard St., Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada V8W 2J3 and San Antonio
    Area Foundation Nizkor Fund, P.O. Box 120366, San Antonio, TX 78212-9566
for defamation, intentional infliction
    of emotional distress, misappropriation of name, and endangering the
life and safety of myself and my family by
    republishing the ADL article about me on your website. 

    Remove it immediately. I expect an immediate full apology and retraction
for being associated, falsely, by you and
    by implication, and by republication of falsehoods, with so-called
"racists" or "nazis." 

    Linda Thompson 

Mr. McVay's response was to request specifics with regard to the "defamation": 

    Please be more specific. There are over 4,000 files on this system, and
multiple pages from the ADL in the United
    States. 

    Thank you, 
    Kenneth McVay 

The response from Ms. Thompson was an exact copy of the initial message,
which failed to identify the allegedly libelous
material.

This is what you have posted on your webpage.  

Note that in the header on the page, you claim:

"The following message was received on July 3, 1996, by electronic mail:"

Yet the reference that follows says:

=============================

Notice your supposed "reply" to my first post has an automated reference to
my first post that says you are replying on July 3, to a message I wrote on
July 4.  Looking at the times, there is a 24 hour difference.  Your "reply"
supposedly pre-dates my original message to you by 24 hours.  Hmmmm.

You then claim that in "response" to your "reply," I only sent you another
copy of the same post.

Examining the header on that post, it has an earlier time stamp than my
first post:

============================

You have again manually changed the date in the first line to July 3, but
you are shown to be a two-fold liar by the automated time stamp that shows
this supposed "response" was written earlier than the post you put up as my
"first" letter.  Neither your "July 3" reply, nor this supposed "response"
to the "July 3" reply, are what you claim, easily shown by the real time stamps.

I wrote the same message to you on July 4, twice, about 30 minutes apart,
solely to insure that you did, in fact, receive it.

You did not reply until the 5th, but you changed the timestamp, manually, to
July 3 (as shown above) and attempted to alter the header on the timestamps
of the messages from me so you could claim I wrote you on July 3, and you
replied asking for more details on July 3, but all you got was a second copy
of the same original message on July 4.

You are a liar and you are altered messages to make the "proof" fit your
lies.  I show the proof above, and you will see it again, in court.

It is obvious that you have an agenda and that you are attempting to promote
yourself at my expense and that you will stoop to republishing lies and
fabricating defamatory comments about me yourself.

Further comments from me will be in court documents to follow.
