It appears that we both have (or had) blog problems. I, on the other hand, have a tiger by the tail. You, and your fellow bloggers, could bow out somewhat gracefully. You were able to avoid the legal process -- with the time and the associated costs, irrespective of being right or wrong. I went to the appellate level, and now it sits back in the original court for another decision. When you were commenting on my choice of aliases, neither of us was aware of another bit of irony: The (now) former CEO of the corporation that is suing me graduated from Seton. Small world. frank Michael,

Small world.

To assume that a person chose an anonymous identity, that happened to turn out to be a real person is really reaching. I did not read anywhere in that blog where frank ever refers to himself as a professor, a lawyer, or anything other than a concerned citizen of Paris Texas, for that matter. What should be getting everyone's attention, is that there are obviously so real problems with the hospital in Paris and Essent Healthcare is trying to cover up and shut up anyone who disagrees with them. "Frank" appears to be protecting himself for a very good reason.... from vicious corporate dicatators, out to squash anyone that stumbles on their stupidity. Where is your concern for free speech?

“Frank” appears to be protecting himself for a very good reason…. from vicious corporate dicatators, out to squash anyone that stumbles on their stupidity.

Where is your concern for free speech?

I was not trying to impersonate Frank Pasquale of Seton Hall. No more than if any of the eight listed "Mike Madisons" in Texas attempted to start a blog would be automatically assuming your persona. I actually just neglected to search the web after rather impulsively putting down the first name (or combinations of names) that seemed to fit fac_p for a hotmail address. Didn't seem to be a pressing issue at the time. Had I been entering areas that Frank actually dealt with, that explanation might seem suspect, but I hardly think that a local blog in not-quite-piney-woods East Texas would defame his reputation. Nor did I ever claim to be more rarified than a mere employee of a corporation that treats employees and patients with relative distain. No, my speech and writing patterns would be quite different, I suspect. I probably should have found a model to emulate, but time was passing, and the opportunity for the blog presented itself. Respectfully, frank Mr. Madison,
