Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Thank Goodness It’s FRIDAY!!!

Here is my example with WFTD.

"The probate records are primarily on microfilm in the [East Point] federal archives," Bellesiles allegedly wrote in a message dated Aug. 31, 2000.

But now Bellesiles denies that he wrote that e-mail -- after Lindgren learned no microfilmed probate records are housed at East Point -- which Lindgren forwarded to the Wheel and HistoryNews-Network.org, a historical Web site for historians.

"I don't know how to break this to you, but anyone can print up anything and say I received this e-mail," Bellesiles wrote to the Wheel. "Shouldn't you go by what I say I said rather than what someone else asserts?"

Oh lookie here, I just couldn’t resist this little tidbit. Bellesiles, in a rather roisterously (3) manner, is now claiming that a reputable professor has forged emails, claiming that they are from Bellesiles. Tsk, tsk, Michael, I do believe your mind has finally unraveled beyond repair.

Bellesiles is digging his academic and professional grave, and he is digging it deep. His sources can’t be proven, his data is incomplete or forged. He impugned the reputation of an archive in California to the point his university had to apologize for his behavior. He’s claimed his website’s been hacked and now that Professor Lindgren has forged emails to discredit himself. Then he has the nerve to ask that we go by what he says and not what someone else asserts. /disbelieving voice.

Michael Bellesiles, you’ve burned your bridges and so we find you sitting there, isolated on that crumbling island of your integrity. You are a fraud, a liar and a man who has no scruples, no honor and no ethics. Your downfall was not brought about by political motives, but by the fact that you made claims, in print, that you couldn’t back up. You’ll have to ignore the roister (1) that we are having, but when truth wins out, honest people have a tendency to be rather exuberant. You just go back to your corner, face the wall, and face the facts that you are done.
