I can't remember now if you said you had gotten an attorney by this time. I just feel like if you had told Paul, or anyone connected with the Board of Education that on the advice of counsel, you needed to preserve your blog as it contained potentially important evidence to assist in your defense. Even though this happened so many years ago, I'm enraged on your behalf.

Didn’t have an attorney yet. Dumb.

Hey -- where's today [the 28th]? You must be traveling... or sleeping in.... Hope you're ok!

You are correct. Traveling for a bat mitzvah. Posted a little late but it's up now!

On the edge of my seat waiting for more. This is an amazing tale of injustice…so far. But I know in the years since you’ve succeeded even more than you had at the time. The best revenge …as they say. Xoxo

Success is the best revenge indeed.

Ouch! I’d never have complied. But I understand why you did or felt you had to. Did it occur to you to save the comments as well?

If one were to understand the context of this unfortunate situation, where would one start? I’m assuming “Part 1” but I want to make sure before I embark on such a quest.

Yes, part 1 is the place to start. Also here if that makes it easier: https://anonymousattack.substack.com/
