Mr. Van de Moortel,

As you know, I have discussed this case with a lawyer. To
re-summarize, I have a case for libel if
1) the defendant either knows the statements to be false or did not
take "due care" to determine the validity of the statements. (In this
case, you have been repeatedly informed that your attribution of other
people's quotes to me were false by all parties involved and continued
publishing falsehoods anyway.)
AND 2) that you know the comments to be injurious to reputation.
By previously posting it on your "immortal fumbles," a jury will
certainly understand that not only are the attribution of the quotes
defamatory but that you clearly believed them to be defamatory. It is
certainly plain that the primary purpose of your website is to
demarcate people as "crackpots" and "kooks" and inflicted with
"personality disorders."
My lawyer at the time told me that in a civil trial, he felt it would
be rather easy to convince a judge or jury that your comments are
false, you knew them to be false or were not concerned whether they
were false, and that your efforts were specifically designed to be
injurious to reputation.
The lawyer had been ready to proceed with the case -- but you
retracted all your comments and removed the attribution on your
webpage. So I didn't pursue it. Now, you have begun again.
This is your second strike. The very next time you falsely and publicly
attribute a group of posts (whether written by Sue or Jahn or whomever)
to me in an obvious effort to demean, you will be contacted by my
lawyer.
One more Dirk, and I will see you in court.
This will be sent via Email as well.
