We are Kathleen.

As though this isn't posted about in 10.5million other places, my turn.

Kathleen Seidel got a truly awsomely ridiculous subpoena in which the Reverend Lisa Sykes and her skeezeball of a lawyer wish to know anything and everything about Kathleen and, apparently, everyone on her blogroll.

I for one will not stand down. This is an absurd violation of everyone's rights. Lisa Sykes, you will not get away with this. Your child isn't mercury poisoned, but your heart is made sour with the poison of hate. Step down from the pulpit, for you are the bad apple in the barrel that is souring the rest. Hate begets hate.

That's right, I said it. Jesus doesn't LIKE retaliatory subpoenas.

Now, a la DoC, I will fully disclose as well. Note that this is my own free choice. Legal bullying just makes you look small, petty, and weak, Shoemaker & Sykes. Petty in particular.

I do not work for neurodiversity.com.
I do not work with neurodiveristy.com.
I've worked with ASAN, an autistic advocacy group. I'm autistic.
On that same vein, I have spoken for autism conferences, the vast majority of which were unpaid or expenses only.
The previous 2 points fall into the category of "get over it".

I met Kathleen at a conference. If she took notes, that means she can write with her hair or some other such nonsense. We ate meals in the same place at the same time, and were generally social. Kathleen is as smart and funny in person as she is online and I am honored to be able to call her friend, and to be on the same "side" since certain parties are hellbent on making everything into a war.

I do not work in medicine, law, pharmaceuticals, what have you.

Today, I am Kathleen

I wish I was the equivalent of the Master of the Rolls in that state... I'd make sure that Shitmaker never got to practice law again.

What a wanker!
