1. Surely you know that to sustain such a tort you would have to demonstrate both material harm and some degree of malice on my part, with the added burden of Lewinski being a public figure and thus requiring a higher standard of evidence.

Malice is nothing more than a reckless disregard for the truth. It has nothing to do with your ill will or feelings toward Lewinski. Further, a fairly high threshold of activity is needed to elevate someone to the status of a public figure, the fact that you think Lewinski is one, doesn't mean that he is.

2. You would also have to demonstrate that I said something counterfactual and defamatory about Lewinski. Stating that he got his "doctorate" off the internet is not defamatory because he did indeed obtain his "doctorate" over the internet from a school that grants degrees almost exclusively online. Nothing you have posted here has demonstrated otherwise.

Stating that he "bought" his degree off the internet, is a lie. He obtained his degree from a regionally accredited institution. What you suggested is not a fact, and is easily disproved.

3. Surely you also realize that if you and/or Lewinski were to sue me for pointing out the FACT that he got his "degree" from an internet school, it would immediately permit me to make a lengthy and expensive discovery request from Lewinski that would open virtually his entire education record to court scrutiny, thus revealing detailed information about his claimed academic credentials, or lack thereof, which would assuredly further dampen his credibility as an "expert."

4. What is a PW?

You know. I don't have to explain it to you. (BTW: Why don't go you back to channeling Radley Balko?)

5. It is becoming increasingly obvious that you have worked yourself into a frenzied state of emotional delirium over the course of this discussion. You are behaving as if you have been irked on a personal level, and thus answer arguments not with counterarguments but threats both veiled and otherwise, angry personal attacks, willful misrepresentations, and multiple other examples of the very same type of ad hominem blustery you accuse in others, thus only further affirming your palpable hypocrisy.

Actually, that would describe your posts in this thread. You've become emotionally attached to your position, solely because of your hatred of the police, so much so, that you will lie, harass and abuse anyone who dares to challenge your false assumptions. (BTW: Ad Hominem Tu Quoque is also a fallacy.)

Once again, please do not ping me or post to me again. (Second request.)

Did he or did he not give money to the Union Institute in exchange for one of their internet degree programs?

I highly doubt they hand out them out for free, and we know for a fact that the Union Institute IS an internet college. The fact that it is accredited (by one of the less reputable accrediting agencies) also does not change the fact that it is an internet college that gives out degrees for "online classes." In that case, saying he bought himself a degree from an internet college is both truthful and accurate.

And that's just what we do know about his "doctorate." I guess the rest of the dirt will just have to wait for discovery in your threatened lawsuit, fallacy boy.

I'm still not clear what a writer for Reason Magazine has to do with any of this except that he writes about cop stuff from time to time. As far as I can tell though he hasn't posted anything about Scott yet (see http://reason.com/people/radley-balko/blogs). Not that it matters though - you're obviously a paranoid freak of some sort...which is why I've long since given up at trying to reason with you.

Now i'm just entertaining myself by pushing your buttons and the crazed reaction you are giving - rants in huge font and all caps, blusterous threats of lawsuits, paranoia about apparently being watched by Radley Balko or something - is clear evidence that it's working. And once again you are reminded that you do not own Free Republic. You are perfectly free to ignore my posts, but attacking me and simultaneously demanding that I not respond to your delusional attacks is not something you can expect to get away with. So go quoque on that!
