In an earlier post, an individual connected with Grace Rpiscopal Church suggested that I collaborated with the HVAC vendor during my time as junior warden. A copy of the post is included with this post.

Several points:

- That is a remarkably ugly thing to say given the sorry condition of the HVAC systems at the church, the lack of preventive maintenance(including treating the water on the closed loop, a necessity with aluminum condensing boilers), the shoddy work during the 1994 building project, and the numerous issues we had due to the age of the system.
- The commenter demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge of commercial HVAC costing and pricing.
- Bob and others have absolutely no concept of what was involved when the outdoor loop to Merrow Hall ruptured, including safety requirements when excavating directly on top of a natural gas line and the building electrical service entrance. But then, given his disinterest in the details of the project, hardly a surprise.
- The vendor in question, AES, has an impeccable reputation, serving the Mt. Vernon estate, several highly classified locations, Fort Belvoir and numerous Episcopal churches. In addition, Tom, one of the owners, headed up the Fairfax County Office of HVAC licensing and is considered one of the best in the business.
- AES dropped Grace as a client after a series of incidents, including one where the owners had made an appointment to brief Bob Malm on emerging issues with the church HVAC systems. When they got on site, however, Bob gave them the big brush-off—a gesture that was beyond rude.
- I have alerted AES to the defamatory remarks posted earlier and told staff there that, if they want to subpoena the IP address and other relevant information needed to identify the poster and file a suit for defamation, I am happy to be supportive.

Comments such as this show just how ugly, toxic and dysfunctional Grace Church truly is.

Ha.

Can you imagine what would happen if we start issuing subpoenas to all of your many alter egos?

All these empty legal threats. Is that something you learned in your years as a bike neighborhood patrol (or police officer in your fantastic mind), or did you learn that as ha, cannot say it with a straight face, ha, as a lawyer? ha

Gosh, Paul Blart, I mean, Eric B. You sir have too much time to waste.

120 pledging units and counting.

17% drop in average Sunday attendance. (ASA)

$80,000 drop in revenue

Nice job, Bob.

Meanwhile, the church can’t even keep its assistant rector.

While we’re at it, remind me again why Bob has twice asked to settle the lawsuit?
