An open letter to Jonathan Graves Monsarrat,

I'm having a very hard time trying to understand you. You obviously are a fairly intelligent person, but you have just done an amazingly ignorant thing. By going after Ron Newman and others from this community with a legal claim, you have exponentially increased the number of people who now know about your past. Frankly, after 3 years, most people have forgotten about you.

If I was a psychiatrist, maybe I could theorize why someone craves attention to such an extent that they are willing to have every shameful thing from their past out into the open.

Jon, you are a pervert. There is no mistaking that. It is both not libel to state the truth and calling someone a pervert is an opinion. Links to your past behavior can be found here and many other places. It is not a "witch hunt". Why would so many people claim similar experiences with you? What would be the point of making it all up?

The most important question is why would you sue? You think you are going to cleanse the internet from mentions of your perversions? What you have done is create THOUSANDS of more pages linking your name with your past. AND YOU KNOW THIS WOULD RESULT.

You can go after Ron Newman and 10 more "Ron Newman's" will pop back up. In fact, Ron Newman actually had nothing bad to say about you and is universally respected by the Davis Square community.

rule #4 of D-snark is '4) No trashing ron_newman. You cannot take him.' for a damn reason.

Someone needs to make a "Ron Newman has a posse" image.

probably not a great idea to link people's real names to LJ handles in this thread. Just saying...

a) I have no idea if I'm right or not,
b) I'm not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure that my educated guesses don't constitute legal discovery, and
c) if I am right, and she don't want people to know her name, probably not great putting it right there in the LJ profile.

i'm with you, but i did see elsewhere just now that they wished not to be named along with this, but released it for public use.

again, if you release it for public use, publicly, alongside your real name, i don't really see the harm, but i'll remove my comments anyway i suppose.

As a community maintainer, I took the liberty of hiding (screening) the comment that you replied to.
