" He did it first and continues to do it" certainly would throw cold
water upon any claims of bullying, victimhood or stalking.

Anyone can search the internet and find evidence of the drug posts.
Anyone can check the dates, names, phone numbers and employers. It
seems the evidence favors the accused.

I don't see many other business owners going on Usenet and repeatedly
making a spectacle of themselves. Maybe they have sense enough to know
it's bad for business. What kind of judgement was used to post to
alt.drugs from the workplace using the workplace signature lines and
headers about illegal and irresponsible behavior? The substance abuse
was one thing, but to boast about it 20 years later in a work setting
is not professional. Some may see a severe self destructive streak in
there.

Oh, Bozo, you've got to understand these poor liberal *******s a little
better.

You've probably done gone and hurt their itty bitty feelings. After all, it
seems logical that those who so wholeheartedly support illegal drug use and
don't see any harm in somebody doing drugs and bragging about doing them on
Usenet and even encouraging and instructing others how to use them have
probably done and/or dealt illegal drugs themselves and are attempting to
justify their own illegal behavior by downplaying similar activities of
others. Failing to take a strong stand against all illegal drug use makes
these people part of the problem. I intend to be part of the solution. I
will never condone the use of illegal drugs. I will never support
lawbreakers who use or have used illegal drugs. I will never like those who
abide illegal drug use.

The sad thing is these giant liberal hypocrites who balk at speaking out
against illegal drugs will probably be among the first to cry foul when they
happen to stumble across their children using drugs. Oh, they will turn over
every stone trying to uncover the dastardly monster who sold their kids
drugs. And they will certainly be among the first to queue up to file suit
should some drug-impaired driver (or boat captain) cause to be injured or
killed one of their loved ones. They are colossal hypocrites. They
facilitate illegal drugs on the one hand by their not speaking out against
braggadocios drug users while on the other hand they moan and grown and cry
and whine should they or their loved ones become a victim of drug abuse.

But, that is today's liberal in action. Don't take any responsibility for
anything. Berate those who are taking responsibility and action. Yet blame
everybody but themselves when they are bitten in the ass by what they ignore
or even sanction.

I doubt this helps because you liberals will just deny the logic and reality
of what I've written. A good part of your liberal philosophy involves
denial.
