I take this as a sign my story, complete with documentation is

Don't worry Derek, I'm sure all the lurkers support him. :-)


Seriously, Danny, I have not read your book. When I get a chance I may.
However, the problem is, based on your other comments here, I, like others
have already formed opinions in regards to you and your credibility.
Whether your book can chance that remains to be seen.

As for nitpicking the spelling, some of it is certainly in good humor.
Especially my comment about you wanting to be given a brake (sic). There's
a general rule on usenet that as soon as you critique someone's spelling or
grammar a similar mistake will be found in your own post. I think you've
created a corrallary of that rule that as soon as you try to defend a
spelling or grammar mistake of your own, you'll make another.

Also, whether you like it or not, there is nothing you can post that proves
your story. For the completely cynical, all the documentation you're
posting could be made up. That's the worse case scenario in a sense. I'm
not accusing you of that, but simply pointing out that your documentation
can't by itself prove anything since it can't be independently corrobarated.
It can only suggest and imply.

Again, I repeat my suggestion, if you really truly believe you have a case,
get an investigative writer to help you and to do some of their own
research.

In addition, unfortunately for your case, the excerpts you've posted
previously do seem to indicate a "I TOLD THEM and no one listened." (and
no, I'm not referring to the meetings and lock you're referring to.) Which
may be completely true, or may be your intepretation of events.

Hell, I have an ex-employee that I'm sure believes that I think he's
incompetent and didn't appreciate his work. The reality, I think he was
capable of great work and did appreciate much of his effort. But his
approach wasn't mind and he never could fully understand why we butted
heads. So, the reality is, the 'truth' is probably somewhere between what
he thinks and what I think. So it the case in your story.

Wow, Greg. For a person who typically does a decent job with post
structure, there were enough glaring mistakes in your reply to make me
wonder whether you did it intentionally. Ha!

chance = change
corrallary = corollary
corrobarated = corroborated
worse = worst
intepretation = interpretation
mind = mine

Wow, yeah that is bad. I guess it proves the rule. :-)

Yes, I did find my "Give me a break" post ironic.

Making a statement to local authorities I was "terrorizing all of NASA
by threatening to come to their home and injure them if they don't all
resign". Then being part of a local judge refusing to give me a
hearing is hardly in the same category you are talking about here.
There was no misunderstanding on my part. NASA officials performed
these acts and they left a document trail.

I do understand your concern that I might be in the middle of a big
misunderstanding and I thank you for not throwing insults in my
direction as you point this fact out. A great deal of what I write
about in my book could be in this category, but not the abuse of power
I describe above.
