By the fact that you have worked so diligently to put together an 'iron-clad' - open/shut case against the Assembly, George and Betty and many leading brothers - it would seem to me that you shouldn't be so shy about a few simple questions about your own credentials. If there truly is no incriminating evidence, why shy away from discussion? The obvious verbosity on all other subjects with regard to the guilt of others appears extremely inconsistent with your attitude of silence on matters that point to your possible culpability.
How much did you collect, Brent? $10,000 - $15,000? How much?
Affirming
If you have any further informations regarding this money collection, please let us know. You have my word that your identity will be preserved short of extreme torture like pulling out fingernails.
I put together an "iron-clad" case against George Geftakys and his Assembly based on a simple principle, The truth in the mouth of two or three witnesses. On the other hand, your views are only based on your own imaginings, and woven together with substandard deductive non-reasoning and the weak, uninformed third-hand testimony of ONE (1) person. Furthermore, you didn't bother to check any of this out before printing it.
As for being shy about discussing this, and avoiding it, I have this to say:
I did discuss this extensively with the people who were invovled in it, and
you and your boy were not a part of it. Did you hear that? It isn't your business. Nevertheless, the fruit of my discussions about the "collection for Judy," is in the form of written, signed financial records, and six (6) witnesses. I have no culplability in this matter at all. In fact, I can stand tall and boast about the honorable way that that the ex-leaders in SLO conducted themselves in this matter, in which I played the role of mailing a letter.
Now, with regard to discussion, I fully intend to "shy away," from discussion with ignorant people who have no idea of what they are talking about. This is what is known as a foolish and ignorant dispute, and I reject people like this. I will remain silent on a great many matters that you know absolutely nothing about, even though you and your boy pretend that you do. However, when my reputation and livelihood is at stake, or you begin to harm a person that is dear to me, you will find that I fight, and always intend to win. Anyone who knows me, even a little, would be extremely careful if they heard those words directed at them. Again, this is no threat, it is a promise. I expect a full, public apology from you forthwith.
How much did you collect, Brent? $10,000 - $15,000? How much?
I collected nothing, nada, zip, zero. Judy was given money from the box twice. It was accounted for, and witnessed. You weren't there, I was.
If you have any further informations regarding this money collection, please let us know. You have my word that your identity will be preserved short of extreme torture like pulling out fingernails.
I have so much "further informations" about money, and dealing in the Assembly, that you would be shocked. However, there is no way that I am going to tell everything I know, for the exact reasons listed above, and others. Rest assured, you only know a third of the story at best. Also, I have no need for anonymity, and your solicitation of anonymous "informations," in a matter like this is reprehensible. Any fool could sign on under some silly alias and tell you a wholly made-up lie, and you would print it! This is a shame to you, and an attack on my reputation, not to mention Judy.
You may comment about what I write, as much as you want. You may disagree with me, and tell people I am not in the spirit, etc. However, if you ascribe to me criminal or unsavory behavior, as you have done, I will not stand for it. I expect a correction immediately.
Now, as to your motive for doing this. I can only speculate that you did it out of ignorance and a general dislike of who you think I am. However, if in fact you really believe that you were "in the spirit," when you invented these things, I can only conclude that your "spirit," is a deaf and dumb one.
Should you do the right thing and apologize, I will drop the matter. While it may cost you some pride, your reputation will in fact rise, if you do the right thing. I will not respond to your drivel in public again. If this is not taken care of, I will bring an action against you Monday morning.
Very Truly Yours,
Brent A. Tr0ckman
