Where is the email where he said what you claim, Bob? Where is the quote referencing what it was he actually asked you to retract? That would have been required in court, and it really is required here.
The email is on my computer, and the quote is in that email.
There is no rule here requiring me to post his email by a certain date.
And You SAY "he did threaten to seek sanctions against me over a very different issue."?
What issue, Bob, and for what? If you won't say and can't support what you are saying, what possible ethical and moral reason could you have to accuse him or even bring up and claim you are being threatened?
The ethical and moral reason to say that Simpson threatened me is that it is true that he once again threatened me, and there is nothing barring me from stating the truth.
He threatened to seek sanctions if I filed a motion to file under seal, which I did over a week ago, and thus far he hasn't sought sanctions. When I asked him what his legal basis would be for seeking sanctions, he didn't state any.
We seem to have a track record here: He threatens and doesn't follow through. He said he would sue me and hasn't. He said he wouldn't communicate with me again unless I retract, and has communicated with me anyway. He told us he would seek a motion compelling us to consent to the return of the MidCountry records and never did. He told the judge in our Sept. 11, 2008, status conference that he was going to seek sanctions but never did. But in that last instance, we made it pretty clear to him that we had the goods on him on that one. We have regretted more than once that we didn't pursue sanctions over his shenanigans back then.
It is incredible how many times we've been threatened. When Jerrie Hayes sent us the non-confidential Rule 26(a)(1) materials, and we found in them Attorney James Greupner's confidential financial info, and we told Jerrie Hayes that we had found that, she threatened us, even though it was her fault, not ours, and we were kind enough to tell her what we had found.
