LMAO. The one who can’t proof his own work or figure out that he can’t subpoena witnesses in PA without prior leave of court? The one facing disciplinary charges in multiple jurisdictions? The one whose settlement proposals I have now twice rejected on their face, with no counter-proposal? Who recites “continued destruction” as one of the reasons for offering settlement proposals?
I’ll let you in on a secret: It’s almost unheard of to offer a settlememnt in a protective order case. Either the defendant threatened or harmed you, or s/he didn’t. The reality is Bob stepped in caca and he’s trying to find a way out, and it’s not going to happen.
But then, I may amuse myself by issuing a subpoena or two to identify a few posters and see what sort of resources they have to respond to a defamation claim. That would be immensely amusing and inevitably get media attention. And yeah, I’m just enough of a jackass to do it. And unless folks are covered by the church’s D&O policy, insurance isn’t available to cover those costs.
Meanwhile, as of tomorrow, our boy Bobby has at most five more years before he’s got to pack it in, and parish revenues continue to shrink. Yes, several families gave appreciated stock last year at end of year to shore things up, but they are all retired and can’t do it indefinitely. And efforts by parishioners to cover the departure of 120 pledging units have left parishioners tight on money, resulting in flagging participation in parish events, like the altar guild tea.
You’ve been drinking the Sugarland brand of KoolAid too long. But as you consider whether I will outlast Dysfunctional Bob and Sugarland Chiow, please do hold your breath while waiting for me to run out of steam.
