davis_squareLet the record of this forum show that Jonathan "Johnny" Monsarrat is hereby declared a rotten scoundrel. He is entirely lacking in all scruples and abilities to function within society. Such is his infamy that now bestowed upon him is the title of "village idiot" of not one, but two cities: both Cambridge and Somerville. His rancid reputation is such that even the insects in his apartment have fled to avoid his association.
Mr. Monsarrat is, as a former CEO, a lecturer, a public artist, and so forth, clearly a public figure. As his lawsuit is clearly of a public nature, and his antics are clearly of public interest, reporting on his infamy - both objective reporting and opinion editorials - are protected under the first amendment.
As such, as soon as this lawsuit is thrown out (and it will be thrown out with prejudice), an online archive will be created to document the facts about Mr. Monsarrat. This will include details of his arrest, this will include his lawsuits, and this will include the LiveJournal threads regarding him - which I have saved in full before any posts were deleted.
In addition, in any case where Mr. Monsarrat attempts to interface with the general public - be it art projects, be it lectures, be it on city properties, be it on university properties - it will be ensured that the entity involved is made fully aware of Mr. Monsarrat's repugnant past and his history of attacking respected members of the community with pathetic abuses of the judicial system.
Johnny Monsarrat - withdraw your ridiculous lawsuit or let your infamy grow further. Your scandalous attempt to turn the seventh amendment against the first will be entirely countered with a show of force of the first. If your lawsuit goes before a judge, it will be thrown out, and your threats will no longer intimidate anyone. Then you will see the community truly speak its mind.

Date: 2013-05-06 02:55 pm (UTC)But seriously, I'm reaching out to my friends in print/e-journalism. I also, somehow, have @bostondotcom following me on twitter, so I've shot them a direct message with the link.
Let's see if it can gain some traction.
