This probably is not related and I don’t want to suggest Deacon Kandra is associated however I found the word “Eleemosynary” and the relationship(s) interesting.

I wouldn’t warn them. Get Rush armed with the facts and get that law firm caught flat-footed.
Ping!!!
Given the nature of their work, they would want their clients’ privacy protected with a secure network.

My first ISP was a dial up with RCN. Probably joined Free Republic using that account. I dumped them as soon as DSL became available.
But RCN was merely the provider. This is like blaming the phone company for harassing phone calls.
Send that info to Rush or holdonnow.
Rush was SET UP by SOROS! I’d bet a lot of money on it. Soros is DANGEROUS to DEMOCRACY!
I understand. I was only giving information about the Law office and the carrier. Since I am not in the area, might have been at a disadvantage.
I like some of the referrers - they’re a hoot!
so you’re aware, anyone can do that... But it really doesn’t tell you a whole lot anyhow. The referrers are web sites somebody surfed from to get to the web site you see the statistics on. If I was surfing the web and the last web site I visited was tonsofbuns.com and then I went to freerepublic.com, tonsofbuns.com would show up in the referrers list for FR. That says nothing about FR, but more about the type of person surfing to FR, especially if it is high in the referrer list. The outgoing traffic from the law firm’s domain seems innocuous enough.
On second thought I wonder if the ISP bears some responsibility. If you know that a specific customer is performing unlawful acts (such as the tort of libel) using his account, aren’t you obligated not to facilitate such conduct. It’s like a printer printing child porn for a publisher and claiming he’s “content neutral”.
I do not know what the possible legal liability for an ISP is concerning an illegal act by a customer.
If he has knowledge of the illegality of the act, he probably has some liability. Past that, I do not know.
There are too many laws today and ignorance of the law is not a defense, but these acts must be punished to prevent others doing the same thing.
Life is complicated today. When good people sit silently by while evil prevails, there is a price.
I’m just thinking common sense. If an ISP knows that a particular site is posting kiddy porn, for instance, I think it’s incumbent on them to remove it. Same thing with libel. imho.
Well,
Rush is saying EVERYTHING I said, on my email and my phone voice mail message, to said law firm.
So, I do not think Rush disagrees with my actions.
I do understand your concerns, but I am glad Rush is taking the bull by the horns this way.
Doesn’t Tacitus post here?

It's in "semi-protected" stage for a week, starting 2009-10-14:
It looks like his Wikipedia page is in a similar mode.
This is common for pages that suddenly experience a surge of interest due to external events, because it usually results in anonymous "vandalism".
