Mr. Krueger, this may be a sad little statement on your part, but it
is also one that verges on defamation. I am not asking for an apology,
but I am politely requesting you both to withdraw it and to admit that
you have no basis for stating it. I fully support people's right to
express their opinions but for you to accuse me in effect of leading a
conspiracy to defame you crosses the line between strongly expressed
opinion and defamation.

I give you my word that I do not "reward" people for anything they write
on _any_ subject on the audio newsgroups. You know for a fact that
everything I have written, both publicly on r.a.o. and privately via
e-mail to you about your tragic loss has involved my offering you my
sympathy and my condolences for your grief. Please leave my name out of
your sordid conspiracy theories.

Unfortunately, John, this despicable post of Krueger's, which you rightfully
find both abhorrent and defamatory, provides more very concrete evidence about
his two most glaring RAO behavioral characteristics:

(1) He continues to commit libel on an almost compulsive basis by making
outrageous and totally unsubstantiated false claims about many RAO posters.

(2) His irrational conspiracy theories meet one of the major criteria for a
diagnosis of Paranoid Personality Disorder. (I have already posted the
universally accepted behavioral criteria for this diagnosis in a prievious
post).
