Michael Grisham’s Reply to Scott Wise
Link
Scott Wise and Gentlemen:
Before you start coming to premature conclusions, you should read and digest my simple request in my Cease and Desist Letter to the US Hawks Board dated Wednesday, February 13, 2019.Link
I further simplified the specific issues in summary form in a subsequent post. link
The issues are:
Bob Kuczewski representing himself as my spokes person.
Bob Kuczewski misrepresenting my beliefs to the Hang Gliding Community.
Bob Kuczewski making a claim of what my beliefs and motivations were as the truth after I have clearly stated what my beliefs and motives were, contrary to Bob’s declaration.
Bob Kuczewski was clearly informed of my beliefs by my postings on the US Hawks and by direct verbal communication by me, yet he was and is clearly promoting a false narrative of my beliefs and motives that a reasonable man should know are not true.
And now today, February 21, 2019, in another proclamation by Bob Kuczewski, spokes person Bob on behalf of Michael Grisham is announcing “Michael Grisham’s Confession”.Link
In Bob Kuczewski’ “Michael Grisham’s Confession” post, Bob Kuczewski deduces that he knows what Michael Grisham “feels”.
Unless Bob Kuczewski has some super psychic abilities with access to my neural network, reading my synaptic firings, all the while tapping into my emotional center; he has not a clue as to what I am “feeling”.
In my simple request, I have not asked for any monetary damages for defamation and slander or compensation for pain and suffering. I simply asked that Bob Kuczewski stop representing himself as my spokes person, misrepresenting my beliefs and motives, and now stop telling the world how I feel.
Scott Wise, we can do this the simple way or we can do this the legal way. The legal way can get expensive. This post by Bob Kuczewski, “Michael Grisham’s Confession” would not be helpful to your case nor associating my name with pedophilia. There is an appearance of defamation and slander on the part of Bob Kuczewski.
Furthermore, you will be defending Bob Kuczewski who has reaped devastation throughout the Hang Gliding Community and Hang Gliding Forums making Sherman look like a Cub Scout. The fact that Bob Kuczewski has been banded from the USHPA, the national organization representing hang gliding, and banned from multiple Hang Gliding Internet Forums, will not be in your favor. Do you want witnesses of Bob’s character to take the stand? Take a step back, take stock of your chances, Scott. It will be Bob and the whole US Hawks Board together.
This is my first warning ever on a Hang Gliding Forum, and I am just trying to defend myself against a bully, Bob Kuczewski.
So instead of Bob Kuczewski telling the world what my “feelings” are, let me tell you.
I feel like I have had the “Star of Oppression” sown on my lapel by Bob Kuczewski. This is not to minimize those of the Jewish Faith who experienced the holocaust, but how I feel as result of Bob posting “The Wall of Shame” and Bob’s continual degradation post after post, month after month. I did nothing shameful. I have spoken up for Joe Faust. I have even spoken up for Bob Kuczewski with the general standing threat of being banned on Hanggliding.org.
I am following the law of the land regarding the ownership rights of the press with regard to publishing and editing, and the publisher being responsible for their content. I defend and am respectful of everyone’s rights whomever they maybe.
I am now speaking up for myself, Frank Colver, Tom “Red” Howard and the Hang Gliding Community against a bully, Bob Kuczewski.
Bob Kuczewski can put the notion to rest right now that I am afraid to speak up under the threat of being banned from a Hang Gliding Forum. I will honorably take a stand and defend my beliefs.
I am simply asking my request to be considered in good faith.
My request is: Bob Kuczewski stop representing yourself as my spokes person, misrepresenting my beliefs and motives; and now stop telling the world how I feel, very simple.
“All it takes for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing.”
