Richard’s Ramblings

In the words of Stephanie’s attorneys, my “website refers to and quotes emails which [I] allege are from Ms. Adams” and she has advised them “that she did not send those emails, a fact [I] should know because [I] claim to be able to trace the sender.” That’s as ridiculous as saying, “our client has advised us that John Fitzgerald Kennedy is still alive, a fact you should know because you claim to have seen the film taken at the grassy knoll.”

I had disabled access to (but not actually removed) the pages mentioning Stephanie for about 60 days, not due to the threats doled out by her securities, bankruptcy, and commercial litigation attorney, Martin S. Siegel — yes, the same pressed suit that defended the ex-CEO of Enron, so you have an idea as to the nature of clients he represents — but because I needed time to formulate an appropriate action in response. Stephanie’s and counsel’s subsequent decision to sue blognyc.net for expressing similar truths, far from discouraging me from re-enabling access, actually encouraged me to re-exercise my free-speech rights which supersede Stephanie’s right of publicity. The appropriate action quickly was determined to be to reinstate access to the pages, eliminating the need for a response.

Therefore, I have also chosen to post the following information, supplied by Stephanie Adams herself, to refute beyond any reasonable doubt her unconscionable claim that my statements were libelous and defamatory.

To set the stage before we begin, it is important to understand the relationship between Stephanie and “Sorceress”. According to one of Stephanie’s web pages, “My name is Stephanie Adams and I am the first Playboy Centerfold to come ‘out’ as a lesbian. My craft name is Sorceress…” The August 2003 edition of Playboy stated that Stephanie had written four books “under the pen name Sorceress”. (By the way, if either the web page or image is altered or removed, don’t worry, I saved a complete copy of the entire website!) According to the author-supplied information on Amazon.com, “My name is Stephanie Adams. My craft name is Sorceress and I am the founder, writer, editor and publisher of GODDESSY.com”. So, it should be pretty clear that anyone at Goddessy going by the name of Sorceress is, in fact, Stephanie Adams herself.

The “old, ugly little Jew” quote I posted in Web Designing in the Nude was received from “Sorceress” on April 23, 2002 (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf).

The “go back to the áššhølë you crawled out of” quote I posted in A Figment of My Imagination was received from “Sorceress” on April 24, 2002 (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf).

The “lonely, depressed, poor, old, ugly, jew boy” quote I posted in Stephanie Adams is Wacko was received from “Sorceress” on April 25, 2002 (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf). The “You will soon have your hands cut off” quote was also received from “Sorceress” the same day (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf) as was the “physically visited by people” quote from “Sorceress” (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf). “Sorceress” also penned another email that day that has not previously been published (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf).

The “area you live in is not too safe” quote I posted in Stephanie Adams, Psychopath was received from “Sorceress” on April 30, 2002 (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf). The next day “Sorceress” sent another email that has not been published before, stating among other things that Goddessy “is a hobby.” (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf). If she writes off Goddessy expenses as a business, the IRS might find that particular quote quite interesting.

No doubt you noticed that many of the emails came through AOL email servers and that several of the headers included “X-Apparently-From: TheRomanEmpress@aol.com”. The “ban this company from the web” quote (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf), the “unprofessional idiots” quote (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf), the “jump off a bridge before I investigate you” quote (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf), and the “smelly, fishy, çûm-filled twát” quote (view the original email as plain txt or as marked-up pdf) that I published on You’ve Got Spam all originated from TheRomanEmpress@aol.com and stemmed from an email recipient (”Stephanie”) reporting some unwanted spam she had received.

This is a tiny fraction of the supporting data I have accumulated over four years. Somewhere in New York City, Stephanie’s attorney is probably now asking her, “Oh, my God! Why didn’t you tell us the truth to begin with?!” Don’t worry! The dried egg on his face can be washed off with a solution of equal parts warm water and white vinegar.
