Purdy" <wpurdyat_private> To: "Declan McCullagh" <declanat_private> Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 01:25:09 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Dear Declan, I really am going to go to Jail over this Declan. It just seems absurd to me that a Federal Judge tells me it's ok to have www.TheWashingtonPostSUCKS.com which I do have WITHOUT any problem, but if I dare to have www.TheWashingtonPostJESUS.com or www.TheWashingtonPostCHRISTIAN.com then I have to go to Jail. I told the Judge on Thursday that something is wrong when the Court condones my using obscenities like www._UCKwashingtonpost.com but prohibits www.TheWashingtonPostCHRISTIAN.com. She DENIED my Motion for Clarification saying that the Order was perfectly clear. She found me in Contempt, and asked the attorney for the Washington Post et al if they wanted me taken into custody immediately. Their lawyer said it was up to her but they were not asking for that at this time. The Judge then said she will issue the Contempt Order in writing on the 28th or 29th. She then scheduled another hearing for February 4th, and told me to come to the hearing prepared to go immediately to Jail if I do not purge myself by that date. Question: Declan have you ever been to a Federal Prison for Contempt? Just wondering how bad it will be, and who they put you in with? Well I will find out on the 4th. I wonder if you can use email in there?
