Up Date-
Hello All,
Last evening I was checking a thread that I had revived - over on Davis Straub's Oz Report Hang Gliding Forum. The thread was entitled "SGAA Coup d'état Almost Complete" .
An Oz Report member had replied to my earlier post. His username is BilleFly (Bill Floyd of Las Vegas, NV) and this is what he posted:

With the name --S C Wise-- attached to the request ; "That" would be enough
to keep Me away from your Hawks .
Dude -- you got some Serious mental issues ; probably Why you hang with Bob ? !!!
Translation = you got Crap for brains .

In my wonderful State of NY the above electronically transmitted statement falls with the definition of 2nd Degree Criminal Harassment. Not such a harsh Misdemeanor crime. Usually it only (?) involves fines and/or up to two years in jail.
But such an individual as Mr. Floyd doesn't get off that easily. By including the statement, "Dude -- you got some Serious mental issues", Mr. Floyd defined his harassment as based on HIS perception of me as a person with a mental disability (i.e., "crap for brains"). In so doing, Mr. Billy Floyd elevated his harassment to the degree that it falls under NYS's Hate Crime statutes.
As a result, he is now guilty of a FELONY offense (here in NYS). His action - as taken from another State - is likely to shield him from criminal prosecution. But it does not bar me from filing a civil complaint in my local Federal Court.
And, as far as the OZ Report goes (and its publisher Davis Straub) he has responsibilities
under the law to report criminal activity associated with his transmission (i.e., publication) of electronic media* - otherwise Known as "The OZ Report Web Site".
As it ends up, I responded last night to BilleFly (A.K.A. Billy Floyd) with the following message:

Your post amounts to a violation of NYS Harassment and Hate Crime Laws. I will first describe such to Mr. Davis Straub. Then, I will take legal action against you personally. Since I expect that you are "out of State" these actions will be Federal in nature. If Mr. Straub declines to give me detailed information on your IP address (and other such relevant information) I will include him in any such Federal Complaint I submit. I would suggest you find an attorney ASAP.

As I understand what has happened since last night, . . .
Davis Straub has destroyed evidence connected with the commission of a felony. He (or his agents?) has done so by deleting all pages of the involved thread. Also, somewhere along the way my ability to sign into the Oz Forum has been disabled.
At this point in time it seems that Mr. Davis Straub is apparently acting to cover up Mr. Billy Floyd's criminal "tracks". And, in shutting me out of The OZ Report Forum, Mr. Straub is placing himself (to put it very mildly) in a very poor moral position. Deleting/cutting the subject of harassment from your web site, . . . ? Isn't that like killing the victim so you don't have to arrest the criminal? As things stand, The Oz Report Forum has a demonstrated record of looking the other way in regard to violations of its own Site Rules, . . . ? ? ? ?
I would finally mention that I've had recent email correspondence with The OZ Report's "Scare" about another prior personal attack on a different thread. Such attacks are supposed to be disallowed on the site. (? ? ? ?) Harassment and defamation by one member of The Oz Report against another seems to be A-Okay - over there in the land of OZ.
