WILL “Bob Raymond” Fess Up?
About three weeks ago I made a Freedom of information request about a complaint issued against THE Ave by a person or persons supposedly upset that we used a “W” and a husky (not the UW husky in our logo.
My concern was not the logo. As any reader can see the dog and his W were removed mainly out of respect to the UW’s concerns. However, these requests came amidst a flurry of TROLL like posts by someone calling himself (or herself) “Bob Raymond.” “Bob,” whose only identity is the claim to be an African American and a PhD., somehow hacked into the WordPress security system. There were also numerous efforts, including one by “Bob Raymond” to gain access to my UW listserv. Finally, members of my family involved in a legal issue have written harassing emails to me and my lawyer demanding that I take down posts they dislike and “Dr. Raymond” has oddly echoed these demands in his posts here.
So, it seemed prudent to determine if all of these were connected. “Bob Raymond” is a likely suspect.
The process is underway, however something seems to be impeding what should be a simple matter:
