Notice Regarding Web-Page Libel
Chuck Stewart, Jon Berndt, and Roger Balettie have libeled,
defamed, and misrepresented me here, both before and after reading a borrowed copy of my book. Jon and Roger have willfully gone well beyond USENET trashing by creating web pages which have maliciously misrepresented the contents of my book. They have collaborated with each other in an effort to disseminate false attributions regarding my book worldwide. Jon has distorted statements made by my expert witnesses. They continue to raise loaded questions here about my book, questions which they should know the answers to from reading my book. They totally ignored expansive portions of my book when they placed on the web what they refer to as "review" of my book. Roger claims to be correcting my "misconceptions;" but he does so with unsworn "counterpoint," not evidence. Let Roger Balettie and Jon Berndt be on notice that until such time as they retract their formal misrepresentation of my book, they should not expect their continued mistreatment of me to go without USENET retaliation, at least until a better method of defense and retaliation becomes available to me. After all, they started their conflict right here in sci.space.shuttle. -- John Thomas Maxson, Retired Engineer (Aerospace) Author, The Betrayal of Mission 51-L (www.mission51l.com) |

Notice Regarding Web-Page Libel
You must have a short fuse; your first post was on 2/3/03.
I've been getting libeled in sci.space groups since 10/1/2000, months before I ever posted. I find the web-page libel by far the most damaging. I would never lower myself to using a web page for the purpose of libeling a forcefully-retired author. Roger Balettie and Jon Berndt should be ordered to pay for the damage they've done to the distribution of my book. -- John Thomas Maxson, Retired Engineer (Aerospace) Author, The Betrayal of Mission 51-L (www.mission51l.com) K, T, E & N wrote in message ...

Jon has distorted statements made by my expert witnesses. Remember Pappy? No, I believe John Maxson has misrepresented the statements of expert witnesses. Before using a quote one must understand the meaning behind it, and where applicable, the science behind it. They continue to raise loaded questions here about my book, Loaded questions, yes - but he keeps shooting back with blanks (evasions, stick figures, etc.). Let Roger Balettie and Jon Berndt be on notice that until such time as they retract their formal misrepresentation of my book, I believe I speak for both of us when I say that if you can show us where we are wrong we will be more than happy to make any corrections. Scott Kozel added: Translation: Those posters have published some very solid material that has firmly refuted JTM's STS-51L conspiracy theories, and JTM is lashing out in rage and frustration, knowing that be blew it. That was my take, as well. I'm sorry for his financial situation, but the truth is the truth, and financial hardship should not be a motivation for writing a book such as The Betrayal of Mission 51L. If the truth is pointed out and it contradicts "Betrayal" and curtails sales, that's not injurious to the author, but a service to the public. In truth, there might have been a story there, but it would be one of stupidity - not conspiracy, of embarassment - not cover-up, of miscommunication, not an intentional crime of omission. The portrayal of an SRB crossing in the conflagration, and RCS jet firings, and the portrayal of many facts as fabrications poison the book as a whole, and I feel it paints John Maxson as an angry man searching for vengeance and vindication - not truth.

... I believe I speak for both of us when I say that if you can show us where we are wrong we will be more than happy to make any corrections. This reminds me: I was thinking today on the drive to work that I ought to put together a webpage-slash-essay on the subjects of what really constitutes libel, slander, abuse, and fair criticism. I'd like to link this to the scientific method, addressing the issues of who is responsible for providing "proof" of theories when something is presented, and how honest criticism is not necessarily something to be sued out of existence, but is in fact a necessary part of the scientific "peer review" process. I'd like to learn about these legal issues myself since I see some key words being tossed around a lot here (libel, defamation, etc.) and as a service for people reading this NG who might not be familiar with the concepts of peer review and burden of proof. |
