Feeding a Troll
The Ave does not get a lot of comments, but my brother in law, William Quick, seems to be single handedly posting comments intended, I assume, to disparage me. The essence of his comments is that I am some sort of mentally ill person engaged in an effort to defame my brother by charging that Hugh Schwartz is destroying my father’s WWII pictures of Buchenwald.
These comments are part of an obsession. These comments follow hundreds of emails from Bill and his associates. The comments also mirror a bizarre set of complaints that were sent to my employer, the University of Washington, by Hugh Schwartz, including charges that I am mentally ill. I only learned of these charges in a 281 page Freedom of Informati0n Act to determine who had complained that THE Ave logo looked like the UW logo. I had assumed that the complaint came from a Husky fan! The FOIA described above is now in the public domain and can be requested from the University.
The same crew, in this case my sister in law, Janet Linn, convinced a police officer to place an intimidating phone call (from her own cell phone). The officer threatened me with a felony if I kept posting on TA!
In addition to the WWII issue, someone, I assume it was Bill, has gone so far as to complain to a radio station in Saskatchewan and a photographer in Australia about my use of images comparing sexploitation of girl children in beauty pageants to child pornography and prostitution.
The conflict over the WWII pictures has reached a level where it needs to be dealt with by lawyers so I can not really respond to his charges here.
Despite Dr. Quicks’s concern that I might edit his comments, I would not do that. TA is built on free speech. I have, however, made one change, I have deleted his misuse of my personal email address marked with “####” below.
A warning to the average reader: The author of this blog (##################### personal email address deleted) makes statements on this blog that are sometimes misleading and sometimes fiction. For example, he writes at http://handbill.us/?p=28297 “As executor of my father’s estate, Hugh Schwartz has now prevented Robert Schwartz’ pictures from being published for almost six years.” Indeed, it is SMS who has held up the donation of the estate’s WWII memorabilia to a major University by (a) withholding some of the materials at his residence in Seattle despite his signing off on an agreement to return them to Hugh and (b) failing to sign off on a Deed of Gift to donate the materials.
I am writing this long comment, then will maintain a screen shot of it in case he chooses to edit it.
