Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey has made public statements on his blog claiming that at some point this year I “serially harassed” someone of his acquaintance via email. I maintain that I did no such thing. In fact, I asked that any correspondence purporting to be from me that engages in (as Frey described it) “unhinged” “harassment” be released and reprinted, because I further maintain that any correspondence

abuse of language, and how some purported conservatives have adopted — and deploy, against other “conservatives” — a dangerous set of linguistic assumptions.

an open letter to anyone I may have emailed
17 March, 2011 Dear people I may have emailed: If you have received unsolicited emails from me that you found threatening, stalker-ish, unhinged, etc.,– and instead of contacting me directly or blocking my email address you had a lawyer craft and send a cease and desist letter — please be aware that I never received such a letter, either in hard copy or in my email. (Of course, to be

sigh, redux [note: this post answers charges made publicly that I am in receipt of a cease and desist letter, sent me because I (knowingly) "serially" "harassed" someone by email. Feel free to skip it if it doesn't interest you. Lord knows it doesn't interest me.]
Frey’s attempts to bullshit readers continues:

Sigh (again) [updated x 2; and again]
Joe just posted this in the comments, and since it is both patently false and alludes to things about me that aren’t true (that I’m aware of) and are intended to paint me in a particular light, I’ll re-post it here, then respond. Because clearly, my last post suggesting that people who don’t like me shouldn’t read me, link me, or worry about me in any way, didn’t take. So:

A note to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey, who just can’t help himself
I never once tried to go after your job. Not once. To suggest that I did is just more of what I’ve come to expect of you. Christ. What a fraud you are. Period. Full stop.

On intent and vote counting (Or, Patterico yet again misunderstands intentionalism)
In what I’m guessing is supposed to be a shot at me, LA DDA Patrick Frey — in a post ostensibly on Alaska Tea Party candidate Joe Miller’s decision to bring suit demanding that write in votes for Lisa Murkowski spell her name correctly — adds the following to his analysis: INTENTIONALISM POSTSCRIPT: Note that, under an “intentionalist” argument, when a voter intends to cast a vote for Lisa Murkowski,

Manufacturing Manufactured Consent
James Taranto takes up the Juan Williams story and gives it a few shakes: So how is it that Juan Williams got the ax while Nina Totenberg is still a member in good standing of the NPR news staff? “The answer is obvious,” says [Stephen] Hayes: “It’s Fox.” We’re not so sure. CEO Schiller quotes NPR policy as stipulating that in outside appearances, “NPR journalists should not express views they

PROMINENT RESPONSE ALERT! (Or, “Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic? We really can’t say. Nor does that have anything to do with this post. But we just thought we’d throw it out there,” part 3) [updated] [Jeff G.]
Patrick Frey demanded (no, seriously) that I “prominently” reply to one of his many, many, many, many Jeff Goldstein posts of the last several days. Why this is important to him I don’t really know, given that the subject matter (David Letterman’s Palin family jokes) is months old, and I participated in a nearly 630-post comment thread at the time, arguing my position from every conceivable angle, answering every question,

Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic? Part 2 [Jeff G.]
In part one of our series, “Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic,” we very pointedly refused to reach a conclusion: perhaps he is, perhaps he isn’t. Frankly, it’s hard to tell, because no one is quite sure just how many anti-semitic statements (if indeed that’s what we’re looking at) are needed in the aggregate before we can conclude that we have on our hands is a
