“Arrogant sociopathic punks think they can go around threatening people and if you dare say a word back to them, you’re the bad guy.
“Speaking of punks, an obscure talentless assclown named Bill Schmalfeldt is threatening to sue Aaron Walker.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, Sept. 4, 2012

It’s important to remember where this all began, eh?

That post from last September was the first time the name “Bill Schmalfeldt” appeared on this blog, and it had nothing to do with me or Lee Stranahan or John Hoge or Ali Akbar. No, it was because Bill Schmalfeldt was threatening to sue Aaron Walker, and Patterico was encouraging contributions to Aaron’s legal defense fund.

By that point Schmalfeldt had already been cyberstalking Walker for three months, because of Walker’s conflict with Brett Kimberlin.

For reasons that I’ve never entirely understood, Schmalfeldt subsequently shifted his focus, targeting Stranahan with absolutely vile attacks, until Stranahan pursued harassment charges. And then there were the bizarre ruminations described by Ken White of Popehat:

Last year, between Christmas and New Years, Bill Schmalfeldt posted a fantasy about mob violence and murder, enthusiastically imagining the death of Patrick Frey and me.

Go read the whole thing and ask yourself: How can someone like Bill Schmalfeldt claim to be a victim of harassment?

“Yes , Billy is a few cans short of a six pack. . . . Bill is just not smart. In fact we would rank him up there as one of the dumbest liberal douchebags we’ve ever come across on the interwebz.”
— Gary Gnu, March 1, 2013

It’s important for anyone attacked by Bill Schmalfeldt to remember that the attack is never actually about you or whatever reason Bill offers for why he is angry at you. It’s always about Bill. Consider his response to a Facebook group of Wisconsin activists:

“Any time I’ve been in a bar fight, I’m generally the guy standing. I can’t do it physically any more, but if you dipshits really want to go to court with me, BRING IT. And send me pictures of your homes, because they will be mine. And your wives. They’ll be mine, too. Everything you own. Mine. Anything else you want to talk about, dickface?”

You stay classy, Bill Schmalfeldt!

That particular episode began with Schmalfeldt’s beef against a group of conservatives who opposed the union-backed recall effort against Gov. Scott Walker and other Republicans. But it turned into a ridiculous drama because Schmalfeldt’s deranged habits: “Billy is well known for harassment of others on social networking.”

See? This problem was “well-known” before I’d ever heard of Bill Schmalfeldt. Which brings us to today’s eruption of Schmalfeldtian madness.  There is an anonymous Tumblr blog that chronicles Schmalfeldt’s craziness. Schimalfeldt filed a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaint. This was the counter-notice:

My name is Ali A. Akbar. I’m the President of the National Bloggers Club. Part of my duty as President is to protect bloggers, including anonymous ones.
It was brought to my attention that Mr. Schmalfeldt has submitted a false DMCA notice against the blog billschmalfeldt.tumblr.com.
He’s a repeat offender at this. At least four of our members have been targeted by Mr. Schmalfeldt in the past. 100% of his DMCA takedown notices have resulted in zero court action. He’s simply trying to suppress free speech and keep citizen-journalists from writing about him.
In fact, DreamHost recently dropped him for copyright infringement. WordPress has dropped several images he’s uploaded too. This character has been banned from Twitter, Facebook, DailyKos.com, Examiner.com over a dozen times.
One blogger has a restraining order against Mr. Schmalfeldt as he is an adjudicated harasser according to the Maryland courts. His harassment of bloggers is that bad.
You’ll notice that this deranged cyberstalker uses my image on his Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/TeamSchmalfeldt
His attempt to terrorize my members isn’t working. . . .
Please make sure your legal department is aware of Mr. Schmalfeldt’s continued [misbehavior]. If they need anymore information about him — they need to go no further than typing his name into a Yahoo! search or even “Bill Schmalfeldt DMCA.”

That’s just it, see? Type the name “Bill Schmalfeldt” into any search engine, and you immediately realize he’s nuts.

There’s only one person on the planet who doesn’t realize this.

His name? Bill Schmalfeldt.

 

Could Bill Schmalfeldt Get Any Crazier?

Posted on Comments

One hesitates to ask such a question, considering what endless insanity we’ve already seen from the deranged cyberstalker.

Today, however, Bill Schmalfeldt had a meltdown (yes, another one) that led to him ranting on and on about Ali Akbar and . . . well, this:

He made Ali’s face the background for his Twitter profile.

Obsessed with a black man much, Bill?

Tell you what, Bill: Why don’t you go make some more “mail-order bride” slurs about Aaron Walker‘s wife? And when you’re done with that, please call me a “racist.” Because consistency.

What a demented freak . . .

 

Alex Pareene’s ‘Sources,’ Perhaps Named Brett Kimberlin and Neal Rauhauser?

“Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. . . . He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don’t listen to him. Remember that — do not listen.”
— The Exorcist (1973)

“As for [Brett Kimberlin], and his claims of libel and character assassination, I seem to recall he was convicted of perjury in federal court before he got out of high school. I seem to remember his other claims seemed to vanish under close scrutiny.”
— Joe Gelarden, October 2010

“[Brett Kimberlin] claimed he was secretly exonerated by the powers that be. A record of this surreptitious pardon is bound to surface any day now, delivered by a leprechaun in a unicorn-pulled stage coach.”
— Matthew Vadum, Sept. 5, 2013

The most important fact about Brett Kimberlin and his associate Neal Rauhauser is that they are liars. Brett Kimberlin’s dishonesty, as a convicted perjurer, is a matter of public record. Neal Rauhauser’s status as the foremost “Weiner Truther” — he named Patrick “Patterico” Frey as the alleged mastermind of the 2011 “hacking” of Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account, which we obviously now know never happened — should be sufficient to establish Neal as fundamentally untrustworthy.

On May 17, 2012, my plan had been to cover the G-8 Summit at Camp David, Maryland, but then I saw Aaron Walker’s account of how he says Brett Kimberlin attempted to “frame” him on a bogus assault charge. While I had never before heard of Brett Kimberlin, the involvement of political social-media consultant Neal Rauhauser in that story suggested a direct connection to the Democrat Party campaign apparatus, so I scrapped my G-8 plans and instead started digging in on the Kimberlin story. Four days later, on Monday, May 21, 2012, Brett Kimberlin contacted my wife’s employer, ranting about how I was “harassing” him and, when they realized that they were dealing with a convicted bomber, this created security concerns that led me to leave Maryland in order to continue reporting the story from “an undisclosed location.”

Even while law enforcement was alerted to the concerns at my wife’s workplace, while my then-13-year-old son was sleeping with a loaded shotgun beside his bed and I was a sort of journalistic fugitive, however, the liars began telling their lies, which I ignored because:

  1. I will not help publicize falsehoods told by liars;
  2. The situation involved innocent third parties who had no role in this conflict, whose privacy and safety I could not jeopardize; and
  3. “Avoid conversations with the demon.”

A few friends and a couple of reporters, whom I could trust to maintain confidentiality, know what happened and why I have not discussed the details. There are witnesses to everything, including witnesses to my little daughter’s tears on the evening of May 21, 2012.

Knowing the truth, and knowing that the truth is known by others, I never paid any further attention to the Kimberlin/Rauhauser lies, except to notice them as a sort of dye-marker of who is listening to the false version of events told by Team Kimberlin. And this morning I noticed Bill Schmalfeldt — who just yesterday was begging to be ignored — Tweeting out rececycled lies including a  link to a July 2012 article by Alex Pareene of Salon that quoted at length the Kimberlin/Rauhauser lies, an article that included this remark:

Mr. McCain never responded to my email requesting comment, though he did write a bunch of blog posts about how I’m horrible.

Dude, it was July, by which time I was living in another state and preparing to go back on the road to cover the presidential campaign. And if you had any interest in the truth, Alex, you would never repeat anything that Brett Kimberlin or Neal Rauhauser said about anything, much less the lies they told in an attempt to discredit the guy who put his entire livelihood into telling the truth about them.

Fuck you, Alex Pareene. And fuck you, Bill Schmalfeldt.

Brett Kimberlin is a lying criminal. And this story isn’t over yet.

 



 

 

 

Deranged Cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt: Why Can’t He Explain His Cyberstalking?

Posted on Comments

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo)

Monday, the state’s attorney’s office in Maryland announced that it would not prosecute Bill Schmalfeldt for violating the peace order that prohibits Schmalfeldt from directly contacting John Hoge. And so this afternoon, Schmalfeldt sent this message on Twitter:

Isn’t that rather a specific list of people in whom Schmalfeldt now claims to have lost interest? Need I remind you that this list is in fact the list of defendants in a lawsuit Brett Kimberlin has filed claiming “DEFAMATION, MALICIOUS PROSECUTION, HARASSMENT, STALKING, CONSPIRACY, INVASION OF PRIVACY AND INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.”

This confirms what Bill Schmalfeldt said last November:

Everything that Bill Schmalfeldt has done to harass Aaron Walker, Lee Stranahan, Ali Akbar, Patrick Frey, Ken White or John Hoge in the past 15 months, he has done on behalf of Brett Kimberlin.

Why is defending Brett Kimberlin so important to Bill Schmalfeldt?

Out of all the causes on the planet that Bill Schmalfeldt might have chosen to support for the past 15 months, why Brett Kimberlin?

Good luck getting Bill Schmalfeldt to provide a rational explanation for why he has made this his life’s work.

Did you notice the similarity of language? In November — at a time when he was relentlessly harassing me — Bill Schmalfeldt declared he would stop “investigating” (which was a term he used to describe his harassment) if everybody would “forget Brett Kimberlin even exists.”

Now that Brett Kimberlin has sued several of the people Schmalfeldt has harassed? Bill Schmalfeldt says he wants us to “forget I exist”!

Quite a convenient coincidence, I’d say.




 

Deranged Cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt and His Massive Mountain of Failure

Posted on Comments

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo)

When last we took notice of deranged cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt, Ken White at Popehat was examining the foul, offensive and, some might say, dangerously violent content of Schmalfeldt’s demented gibberish.

Gosh, it’s been nearly a month, hasn’t it?

Bill got so crazy at one point, there was concern he might need to take the short ride to Spring Grove with the nice men in white coats.

“What’s up with that weirdo?” people have occasionally asked.

Bill Schmalfeldt inserted himself into the Brett Kimberlin story on June 3, 2012, when Schmalfeldt started stalking Aaron Walker. Schmalfeldt subsequently extended his target list to include various persons who had defended Walker, particularly including Lee Stranahan, who listed several of the things Schmalfeldt did to him:

  • Made repeated, direct contact with me and members of my family via email & Twitter, demanding I answer his questions about his ‘investigation’ in me and my family
  • Continued this direct contact after being asked not to ; sometimes directed over 100 messages a day directly at us with questions for his ‘investigation’
  • Posted our personal information, including making a video of our address after a rape threat had been made by an associate of Mr. Schmalfeldt’s
  • Made constant sexual references about both my wife and I, including frequent mentions of our genitalia and fantasies about selling my wife and raping me
  • Tormented us about the death of our newborn daughter Collette
  • Posted photos of our children and contacted child protective services
  • Contacted over half a dozen law enforcement agencies when I wouldn’t answer the bizarre personal questions he would ask for his ‘investigations’
  • Attempted to get me fired, arrested & have my children taken from me
  • Contacted friends, family, business associates and even total strangers who spoke to me online

Therefore, Stranahan flew to Maryland and filed harassment charges against Schmalfeldt. The charges were, believe it or not, later dismissed. Beecause John Hoge had assisted Stranahan (by giving him a ride from the airport to the courthouse), however, Bill Schmalfeldt then turned his insane fury on Hoge. This continued until, on June 14, John Hoge won a peace order against Schmalfeldt, thus depriving Bill of his only joy in life, deranged cyberstalking.

Permit a brief digression: Bill Schmalfeldt cannot seem to distinguish between the First Amendment (your right to speak or write) and the Fifth Amendment (your right to remain silent). Deeming himself a journalist conducting an “investigation,” Schmalfeldt’s modus operandi was to make defamatory accusations in the form of questions — “Did you do heinous acts X, Y or Z?” — and then demand answers, claiming that his targets’ refusal to play along proved they were in fact guilty of X, Y and Z, insulting the person he claimed to be “investigating,” calling them cowards, etc., for not answering him. As I explained in April, “Harassment Is Not Journalism,” but I digress . . .

After Hoge won the peace order that forbade Schmalfeldt from contacting Hoge at all — not so much as a Twitter mention — Schmalfeldt’s mood seemed to oscillate wildly, alternating between depression and rage. John Hoge recounts a recent episode:

Bill Schmalfeldt seems to think that he is entitled to answers to questions that are really none of his business, and he gets all butthurt when we mere mortals don’t quickly tell him what he wants to hear.
The Cabin Boy has screwed up his pro se filings related to his appeal of the Hoge v. Schmalfeldt peace order. When this was pointed out by my lawyer in the Motion to Dismiss filed in reply to his motion for a stay, he accused her of lying in that motion. Now, he wants me to explain the whys and wherefores of the legal strategy to be employed to protect my interests against him.
No. I won’t do that. He will find that out in front of a judge, not on the Internet. Neither my counsel nor I have any obligation to help him continue to harass me. He can always ask Acme’s Legal Department for their advice.
Bill Schmalfeldt is, in my view, a criminal. He has been adjudicated a harasser, and I believe he has violated and continues to violate the peace order issued against him. That is a crime.
I don’t intend to help him. I do intend to make it through to the end of this process with my good humor intact.

Do I even need to explain this? Can’t everyone see how bizarre and persistent Bill Schmalfeldt’s obsessions are? All the court required him to do was leave John Hoge alone — and he can’t do it. Instead, Schmalfeldt violated the peace order even while attempting to pursue a legal appeal of the peace order, acting pro se (as his own attorney) believing that his right to harass Hoge was being infringed.

Bill Schmalfeldt seems to think we have forgotten why he’s doing this:

You can’t write about Brett Kimberlin, or Bill Schmalfeldt will “be investigating” you. Well, how’s that working out for you, Bill?

And while we’re at it, how’s that working out for Brett Kimberlin? Is he happy with all the services you have provided him, Bill?

My guess is that your lunatic incompetence makes you not particularly valuable, even as a deranged cyberstalker.




 

UPDATE: Oh, almost forgot to remind readers that Amazon sells popcorn — all different kinds of delicious popcorn.

Trust me, you’re going to want some tasty popcorn.

 

Deranged Cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt: Bats, Belfry, Some Assembly Required

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting on YouTube

When last we left the strange saga of Bill Schmalfeldt, the self-described “brain-damaged troll,” his incessant barrage of Twitter gibberish had become so demonstrably crazy that there were fears for his safety. Apparently, however, the nice young men in white coats didn’t take Bill to the Funny Farm, or else the psychiatric staff at Spring Grove have granted him Internet access for therapeutic reasons, because he’s still ranting today. Now he’s got new reasons to rant — Ken White at Popehat has begun his dismantling of Schmalfeldt. A few excerpts:

Our special tonight is a disturbed self-styled journalist named Bill Schmalfeldt. . . .
He leaves no sense of what values he promotes, only of what groups and individuals he hates. There’s only one circumstance when you get a sense that he’s enjoying what he does, that he has a craft or a calling. That’s when he’s describing someone being raped, murdered, or otherwise abused, or when he’s pursuing the families of someone he hates. . . .
There are constant themes. The first is that, though he is nominally “progressive,” he delights in using homoerotic imagery and insults normally associated with homophobes to attack people he doesn’t like . . .
Second, despite being nominally “progressive,” he is perfectly willing to indulge in racism to revile people he doesn’t like. . . .
Third, he’s really, really into the rhetoric of violence and murder.  . . .
Fourth, Schmalfeldt enjoys attacking the family of his political targets.  . . .
Schmalfeldt . . . reported [Breitbart.com contributor Lee] Stranahan to the Dallas Police, the FBI, the District Attorney, the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and Texas Family Protective Services . . .
Bill Schmalfeldt doesn’t have principles. Bill Schmalfeldt doesn’t have values. Bill Schmalfeldt doesn’t have beliefs. Bill Schmalfeldt has enemies, and then nothing, a black and dank and empty void of sullenness. . . .

Read the whole brilliantly brutal thing and remember: This is just the first installment of an expected series of digital vivisections.

Two weeks ago, when Bill Schmalfeldt threatened me with a spurious copyright claim, I replied with 5,000 words to explain something really simple: BILL SCHMALFELDT IS CRAZY. He keeps providing more evidence of his irrationality, because he can’t help himself. This will not end well for him. He will either go to jail or go to the nuthouse, or else he’ll suffer a fatal neurological and physical breakdown.

If anyone were sincerely interested in Bill Schmalfeldt’s well-being, they’d be begging him to stop, but nobody who actually knows Bill Schmalfeldt likes Bill Schmalfeldt. He evidently lacks any concern for whatever remains of his own human dignity. None of his enemies could ever hate him as much Bill Schmalfeldt hates himself.

 



 

 


Meltdown Monday: Does Bill Schmalfeldt Need a Brief Vacation at Spring Grove?

Posted on Comments

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo)

“The point is, the sound advice I gave Barrett Brown could apply equally to you, Mr. Schmalfeldt: ‘Spare me your lawsuit threats … you are traveling a road to destruction.’ …
“As for your own understanding (of law or anything else), sir, I am quite certain it is impaired by the fact that YOU’RE CRAZY.
“Crackers. Psycho. Loopy. Off your rocker.
“Nuttier than a Snickers bar.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, July 26

“Spring Grove Hospital Center is the oldest hospital for the mentally ill in Maryland, and the third oldest in the United States. … It was renamed the Maryland Hospital for the Insane in 1838, and moved to its present site at Catonsville in 1872. …
“With 295 inpatient beds and 62 assisted-living beds, the Center provides acute, subacute and long-term psychiatric care to adult and geriatric patients …”
— Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene

It would be wrong to say that Bill Schmalfeldt “went crazy” today, because clearly he arrived at that destination long ago. Having been ordered by Carroll County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Stansfield June 14 to cease all contact with John Hoge, Schmalfeldt’s insane obsession makes it impossible for him to comply. So when for the third time Schmalfeldt “accidentally” addressed Hoge in a Twitter message (the difference between speaking about someone and speaking to someone on Twitter) what does Schmalfeldt do? He sends a crazy e-mail to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s office:

“People contacting me now are surreptitiously adding @wjjhoge to their tweets hoping to catch me in this mistake, and they have succeeded again. . . .
“Hoge’s friends have been trying to trap me this way. . . .
“I know that I have blundered into the trap that was set for me . . .”

Exactly whom does Schmalfeldt mean to accuse of “trying to trap me”?

What is actually happening — you should read this post by Hoge — is that Bill Schmalfeldt is engaged in cyberstalking: Obsessively watching Hoge and Hoge’s friends to see what they’re talking about, and them jumping into their timelines to shout his crazy accusatory gibberish at them.

If anyone wants me to provide a court affidavit to explain how Schmalfeldt’s particular form of harassment works (in terms of tactics, strategy and purpose), I’ll be glad to do so, but I’m not going to describe it here, because I don’t endorse it, and I don’t want to accidentally offer a “How To Be a Troll” guide for copycats.

Schmalfeldt’s problem is that he has become so obsessive and/or compulsive about his cyberstalking that he lacks the rationality necessary to avoid violating the court order.

Bill can’t help himself. So when he starts ranting about “POOP FLAKES” and scrotums (trust me, you don’t want to see those Tweets), this is not merely evidence, it’s symptomatic. His Twitter timeline got so crazy, even his left-wing buddies were telling Schmalfeldt he was losing his mind and finally Hoge felt it necessary to ask police to do a welfare check to make sure Schmalfeldt had not become a danger to himself or others.

Having expended 5,000 words to explain to Bill Schmalfeldt that he’s crazy, I don’t know what more can be done. When the nice young men in white coats show up to cart him away for a psychiatric evaluation, we can expect that Schmalfeldt will blame other people for his problems.

Because that’s what crazy people always do.

UPDATE: This was predictable:

Switching your Twitter account to “protected” status is, in this kind of situation, very much like waving a white flag. Bill Schmalfeldt was the aggressor, and it’s impossible to accomplish much in terms of Twitter aggression once you switch to “protected” status.

 



 

 


Bill Schmalfeldt Finally Gets His Reply

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo)

“I’m disgusted that it has come to this. I thought that Facebook, being an honorable organization that everybody loves, that everybody has heard of, would honor its own terms of service and remove this cancer, this tumor, this malignancy from its own service.”
— Bill Schmalfeldt, Dec. 15, 2011

“Just in case you ever entertain the thought that Bill Schmalfeldt might be sane, remember this: When accused of criminal harassment, Schmalfeldt’s reaction is . . . more harassment.. . .
“It’s as if he is incapable of learning anything, or is unable to restrain his insane urges to lash out at the targets of his obsessive rage.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, July 19

Every picture tells a story, as an old song says. In 2011, during the Wisconsin recall battle, Bill Schmalfeldt went to war against a Facebook group that was supporting Republican Gov. Scott Walker. The group calling itself “Operation Burn Notice” (OBN) was the subject of multiple posts Schmalfeldt wrote at Daily Kos.

About a Facebook group, you see.

Lacking all sense of proportion, Schmalfeldt’s war against this Facebook group became extremely bitter because, in essence, he began “doxing” the group’s members, publishing personal information about them, accusing them of crimes, etc., as he himself explained:

The cowards behind “Operation Burn Notice” can’t even be SHAMED into identifying themselves. . . .
I have mentioned three names that have been suggested to me as being involved in this OBN effort. I make no such assertions, other than to say every time I attempted to place a redacted version of a picture of these folks, their identities obscured, it was swiftly removed from their Facebook page.
[T]hese freedom-hating slugs . . . are discussing a crime that could land them in jail for 3-1/2 years and cost them $10,000 each.

This war-of-annihilation theme is a pattern in Bill Schmalfeldt’s online behavior and, whenever he fails to achieve his goals, he invariably claims that he is being victimized, that other people aren’t playing fair, and then attempts to play “Internet Cop,” threatening to have people arrested, to get them fired from their jobs, to sue them, to have their various Internet accounts shut down, etc. During the course of his obsessive anti-OBN jihad, Bill Schmalfeldt decided to give a 19-minute Terms of Service (TOS) lecture to Facebook:

Well, you know what they say about karma, right? About five months later, in May 2012, Bill Schmalfeldt put up a genuinely vile rant about anal sex at DailyKos and was banished. (He attempted to get back on DKos last week and was re-banished.)

It’s interesting how this cosmic principle operates: Bad things happen to bad people and, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” The people in that Facebook group whom Schmalfeldt sought to persecute — claiming they were infringing his copyrights, among other things — had nothing to do with Schmalfeldt getting banished from Daily Kos. That was a self-inflicted wound, as such downfalls usually are. Bad people do bad things and get away with it, so they keep doing bad things until that day comes when they don’t get away with it. Thus Schmalfeldt is banned (again) from Daily Kos, while Barrett Brown is in federal custody, facing felony charges that could put him away for a long, long time.

“Pray for Ten Thousand Angels,” I said last November, when Bill Schmalfeldt’s relentless harassment finally escalated to the point that he was threatening to call my wife. That was the first time I ever posted a photo of Schmalfeldt. If you’ve been reading John Hoge’s blog lately, you know that Schmalfeldt filed a “Digital Millennium Copyright Act” notice, claiming Hoge had “stolen” Schmalfeldt’s intellectual property. Schmalfeldt also filed a DMCA notice with our web-hosting company, which is now handled through Ali Akbar’s Pundit Syndication LLC. This is being dealt with appropriately. (Click here to read Ali’s reply.)

Bill Schmalfeldt being who he is, however — which is to say, a deranged cyberstalking troll — has been ranting and raving on Twitter, demanding that I personally take notice of his nuisance claim.

So I decided that it was finally time to reply to e-mails Schmalfeldt sent me months ago. Five thousand words. Enjoy. — RSM Continue reading Bill Schmalfeldt Finally Gets His Reply →
