PK threatens to SLAPP me!

Another note from my new friend Paul K;

Actually DL, why don't you just direct everyone to our site?
(Site address removed)
Give folks a chance to see a side the corporate psychopaths in the wind industry don't want you to know about?
Civil disobediance seemed fine when the left instigated it, but now when it's against them, they squeal like kindergarten children.
By the way, we hold no membership in Wind Concerns Ontario. Unless you can provide the proof of membership or a receipt indicating such, I'd be careful about what accusations you make.

*As pointed out in previous posts, this gentleman's site states he and his wife joined an "anti-turbine group", now he's telling me to stop promoting that fact? (Again, if it's not WCO, then which anti group is it? That question has been posted before, but the only response has been...."I'd be careful about what accusations you make." )
My suggestion, if you don't want people to know, don't post it on your web site.

SLAPP - "strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) is a lawsuit that is intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defence until they abandon their criticism or opposition. The typical SLAPP plaintiff does not normally expect to win the lawsuit. The plaintiff's goals are accomplished if the defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism. A SLAPP may also intimidate others from participating in the debate."

It's unfortunate that people like this, who pretend to know the truth, and who try to force that truth onto others, when pushed on what they say and do, revert to more threats in order to solve the issue at hand.
It's unfortunate that they don't live up to the standards they demand from others. Sad really. And it's driving a wedge through rural Ontario.
