Freedom of speech

It is a little sad that there are some that don't understand the concept. Or they are of the mind that it doesn't apply to them. For most people Freedom of Speech means the right to say what you like as long as it is legal. This includes criticism of those that you find objectionable and as long as you do not libel or slander them. Accusing them of such as a defence is no defence and you have to have proof that this defence is actually the truth.

I have written in the past of legal proceedings that are launch or threatened by those that wish to silence naysayers. The theory here is to both intimidate the accused to withdraw a comment or a statement and if they don't a suit will be initiated against them. This is usually accompanied by the use of a lot of legal jargon and possibly the employment of a lawyer or law firm.

Google make it pretty clear on what they mean by Free Speech and will not remove content from blogs just because someone complains as they don't like what is being said about them.

It is almost the end of 2016

As such I have decided to review some of the posts that I have made on this blog and my website.

To facilitate this I have done a couple of things to see what my visitors are really interested in. This blog has been made temporarily "private" (in that only blog authors and selected readers can view it). My website is currently under maintenance so that I can update many of the pages and it will be presented again in 2017.

In the meantime I will continue to use Google Analytics to see what my visitors are retrieving from cache. This is a good measure of what is of major importance of those that find my site and this blog when they make a Google search.

As an example, a visitor on the 30th December from Potsdam, New York made the search "how do you code for safari reader" retrieving my page on the Safari Reader Mode.

Over the next few weeks I will be making a series of posts on this blog that reflect the true nature of my website and I am not intending to remove any of the posts that I have made prior to this date.

Identity Theft

This is a subject that I have been following for a while now.

I have a large stake in this as there are major consequences if my identity were stolen. I have a considerable net worth that would be at risk.

Deflationary theory of truth

Deflating the truth:

According to Wikipedia:
In philosophy and logic, a deflationary theory of truth is one of a family of theories that all have in common the claim that assertions of predicate truth of a statement do not attribute a property called "truth" to such a statement.

Without prejudice

As an example of the nonsense of what a certain person thinks about me I am posting the last communication from him:

Without prejudice

Like I had expressed to you earlier I was not going to engage with you during the Christmas season now that has ended for me I will be back in focus I see that you have put up many things which gives me a lot more proof that you are trying to deflate the truth I assure you the truth will set you free I've been quiet for too long with your abuse and your skullduggery I am sure that the public will be happy to see the other side of the story The factual one I no longer am Bound by my partners to tell me not to go after you for the lies that you have been spreading but instead everybody is urging and engaging me to bring the truth forward about you and the world will see you for whom you are

I truly do hope the best for you in 2017

As I have stated many times in the past I have not made any of this up! As for abuse and skullduggery all I have done is to present my findings and communications from this person and his associates.

I very much doubt that "everyone" is urging you to bring the "truth" about me forward. The truth is that I have done nothing wrong apart to criticise you and your methods. I am not sure what "the other side of the story" means for you? Perhaps you mean the threats that I have made to you if you refuse to take back some of the things that I have said about you? Perhaps you mean the creation of a website(s) with the SOLE purpose of discrediting you? Perhaps you mean my use of a pseudonym in writing to people that you appear to be associated?

I have made no threats.

My websites are NOT solely about you

It is common practice to use a pseudonym (in fact, isn't it "the pot calling the kettle black" when you write to me as wayne@theramman.com")

You are no longer Bound by partners as you have none - they have all disowned you like rats leaving the sinking ship"!

See me as I really am? I am just someone who thinks that the truth needs to be known. Prove that what I have said about you is not true.

I wish you the worst for the rest of your life.
