Defense?? sure.
Here are some simple facts, taken from a time line beginning in early 2004
Steve did many things to annoy quite a few people. There were three people who wanted to harm steve badly. Did they? No. They were convinced that attacking him would lead to retaliation by me, and felt this was an unwise thing to do.
Steve couldn't handle Roman on his own, other than getting his room changed. He begged me to make sure Roman was taken care of. This was the second or third roommmate steve had gone through, but I showed support for him.
Skip ahead to september 2004
Steve was driving Rachel and I to Cincinatti, as my car wasn't in a condition to do so. He wreaks said vehicle. Who got it off the street? Who made sure steve was taken care of, who clamed steve's mother? I preformed these acts.
October- November 2004
Cathrine moves out, partially from pressures, but of her own accord, as she was unready for an apartment. The so called "hoarding food" annoyance was her not wanting to buy groceries for a time. When she moved out there wasn't a discussion of the utilities, and I had to scramble to make sure they were not disconnected, placing 300+ down for security deposits, no one else had the money or inclination to do so.
November-Febuary 2004-2005
Nikki, David, and Brian were unemployeed. Steve did pay a share of the rent, as did I. I didn't have a job at the time, but income from parents, which was quickly dwindling, based on this. In January I began work at calltech, to make sure that rent and utilities were taken care of, and I was not pleased that it took such a long time for people to have employeement, as I began to aquire an unfair debt. During this time steve went to several "cons"/trips, stating he had "saved up a long time for this" and thus he should not have to change any plans. When mention of a temporary job for him came up, he quickly dismissed it.\ Febuary, steve moves out, along with David and Nikki. There are still unresolved questions about a gas bill. At this time, mail had been disappearing from the mailbox, outgoing bills. Steven David and Nikki gave me no fowarding address, nor had they filled out the forms to have their mail redelivered. I tried contact, with many unkind words, as I was blindsided twice by bills I had thought were taken care of. There were several house meetings before this, come about because of immature behavior on nikki and David's part, that was solved peacibly.
Febuary 2005-Present
New roommates come in to current apartment. Steve refuses to even contact me, in any way shape or form. If he were innocent of any wrong doing, why employee such a tactic? Mail disappeared from both apartment locations, and accusations of theft, and negligent behavior. A cursory check around the neighborhood indicates mail theft has occured several times, at many locations. I deliver said mail, with a new roomate, as he knows the address. I want to avoid having a door slammed right into my face and injuring me, so I place my boot in the door, Steve panics and calls the police, the police arrive and uneventfully ask us to leave, we do so. Brian is told to leave apartment, being unemployeed for several months, and extremely deliquent on bills and rent. Nikki reluctently contacts me after a time, and an agreement is reached according to outstanding debts. I contine to attend class, with a greatly reduced GPA, due to having to work during January and Febuary, into mid march.
Steven writes a very nice and pretty, but fairly false tale of his own opression, and how I am a litereal boogey man, in the process accuses my family of being connected to the KKK and implicity stating that they and I are racists, and states that it is not his own fault in any way that the situation has deteroiated, that he is a prisoner of mine in a mental sense, ending his diatribe with "Violent lush". I make no claims of innocence on some points he has made, but a large amount of it is twisted by his own peverse desire to be a marytr, and avoid personal responsibility. My late grandfather was a fairly high ranking member of the KKK in ohio, this is a public fact. He died long ago, and I do not remember much of anything of interactions with him, as I was very young when this occured. If you wish to insult me steve, go ahead, live your fantasies. Those who know me well and are unbiased understand you are lying. However, claiming my family is some group of sheetheaded hooligans is a grevious insult, and a twist of reality.
Steven, you are a full blown coward. You do not fight your own fights, you hide behind a second identity that is not possible in this reality, other than as a mental illusion, and use your religion and sexuality as protection from anything negative. This a mark of extreme immaturity.
You went behind my back on many occasions.
I had to prod you several times to send out bills, on time.
You feel your own enjoyment is more important than responsibility, your grades last year show this, as do your multiple trips during school session.
You have used your religion as an excuse to avoid school and attend "cons". "I was at a bar Mitsva" This is vile behavior
It is obivous that you are immature, and are obsessed with the idea there is an army of people out to get you. I freely admit that I am not pleased with you. But is there a single point in causing you physical harm? The penalties for a hate crime are extremely harsh, and I have no need to be in prison.
You freely attack those who cannot defend themselves. *As evidenced by your banning of me and Rachel from your comment list, so you could "have the last word" and making thinly veiled accusations about my family.
You have posted private information *my full name and online nic* in a forum, asking for the harassment of me in a roundabout manner. Your friends may say nasty things about me, but it's not the truth. If my home is invaded, I will bring police officers, and have them removed. You may also be hoping the university will place sanctions on me, my record of tolerance speaks for itself, this will not occur.
The truth is the truth steve, I want an apology, and retraction of the statement that my family is connected to racist organizations. You want to call me a hooligan, and a drunken psycho, that's your choice, I can defend myself verbally, and no one is perfect. But writing a letter to the dean, claiming every problem you have had in school is a result of me is another way of avoiding true responsibility. You know me well enough to know I'm not stupid enough to have you physically harmed, you were told by several people that this would not occur, but you chose to hide behind a irrational belief. That is your own problem. You have an incomplete. You take the class again. It happens.
Show me you are able to swallow your pride. You can disagree with all of this, but I remain firm on wanting a retraction of your lies about my Mother and Father.
Your reply will be unedited and welcome.
