Subject: Decision in Moulton's lawsuit

The decision in Barry's lawsuit against the trustees of the Bedfordshire
Condos (http://www.musenet.org/~bkort/bedfordshire.html) has finally been
rendered. 

The Court refused to rule on the merits of the case, saying he had to pay
up first and, if he chose, could bring a followup suit without prejudice.
In short, he lost. 

As you can imagine, he's pretty numb at the moment. Please offer him your
best support and encouragement.

Sorry to hear that you lost Barry.  In the long run, though, your cause
may have won.

Best,

Barry,

In my years of research into educational uses of the Internet know you
to be one of the most community-minded citizens I have ever encountered.
Indeed, I devoted some space to your efforts in my book, The Virtual
Community, and I cited your work in my testimony in the Philadelphia
court challenge to the Communications Decency Act. Your work is a
paragon of constructive and educational uses of the Internet. It is
obvious from everything you do that you are a highly moral and ethical
person -- the kind of citizen we need in this democracy. If there is
anything I can do to help you in your fight to save your home, let me
know.

Dr. Kort,

I have read of your legal troubles, and am dismayed to say the least. 
I've long been impressed by your work to make computers and the internet
tools of value for youth and the community at large. I've mentioned
MicroMuse in particular to people who have asked about positive uses for
the internet. It is a shame that after so much work on behalf of others,
the community of Bedford would turn on you in this way. 

I would be like to write a letter to any one of those responsible for
allowing this miscarriage to proceed. It would be helpful if you or one
of your supporters would post precise names and addresses. Would you
please tell me which one of the Bedford Town Selectmen would be an
appropriate recipient of such a letter, or would a letter addressed to,
"The Bedford Town Selectmen" reach the right audience?

Thanks and strength to you.

Craig Louis

Hi Barry,

        Those wretched members of the condo association!  May all of
their golf balls land in the river!!!  Maybe justice will be done in
the long run; the track record for speedy justice is not good!!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the state and town officials went after
them!!!!!
