Andrew Palmer Corrects Public Discussion Posts
I have invited Mr. Palmer to register and make his own statement publicly, but he seems inclined not to do that. I am therefore posting his letter so that his position on the matter is known by the community.
A colleague has called a situation to my attention. Somebody or sombodies [sic] is/are slamming me with a lot of false information on your web site. Somebody or sombodies [sic] is/are also logging onto your site impersonating me and saying some really terrible stuff that makes me out to be some kind of nut.
Some, if not all, of the referenced [sic] to me on your site are actionable by me against the person posting. I can also take action against you for allowing this type of forum to exist. You're aiding and abetting slander and other tortious conduct.
Before I take any action, I would like to give you the opportunity to rectify the situation. Please remove ALL reference to me from your web site right away. The damages I'm suffering are ongoing. You're best advised to take action on this immediately.
Govern Yourself Accordingly,
GOD BLESS AMERICA

I have seen all the junk about my friend Andrew Palmer on your pages. It's source is likely a person who stole a lot of money from him; filed bankruptcy to avoid the $400,000 judgment and wants to get even.
The attorney general of Massachusetts plays politics with her adversaries. 'nuf said.
I hope this short not counters the awful lies on your pages. Shame on your for not checking the truth of the posts on your site.

hard Time. You should see what they are doing to poor little Bradley Sugars on the next page. Isn't it time we ignored the weight of social media? Good on 'ya Cindy.

The following two emails were received. It was signed Andrew Palmer and had contact information at the bottom.

Mr. Palmer claims that some unknown poster was posing as him, writing articles in defence of the real Mr. Palmer.
Mr. Palmer claims this false postings are defamatory of him and urges BMM to delete these postings -without any proof or evidence that Mr. Palmer did post the articles he has complained about.
The correct response is for Mr. Palmer to open an account here, and advise BMM to delete any posts not from his account. The spam filter could be modified so that posts signed "Palmer" would be held until BMM could determine the validity of the poster.
Mr. Palmer may strike some here as an unsympathetic character, and he might well be. But few of us would like our identities hijacked on BMM, especially when the remedy is easy.

Even the posting about how he is one of Franchise Times' "Legal Eagles " ?
That was the funniest one, albeit unintentionally.
As to his comment about Mr. MauMau "exposing himself", well that is between Palmer and Mr. MauMau. But you guys should get a room, or at least move to Connecticut .
BTW: I do hope that you have properly set up a corporate entity. If not, I read that "Andrew Palmer, Lawyer" is quite adept at establishing corporate entities . And he does so just in the nick of time.

From what I read of the (allegedly real) Andrew Palmer emails discussing the (allegedly fake) Andrew Palmer, I'd say that he was admitted to a lot of bars.
On a serious note, there are many reasons why people don't carry professional insurance and I wouldn't read much into that. Palmer's poorly-crafted emails to Mr. MauMau are far more indicative of unprofessionalism.

Reading yesterday's post on "Coward gets..." I am struck by the extraordinarily broad range of Mr. Palmer's cases with which the "fake" Palmer has intimate knowledge of.
I have never heard of an attorney doing real estate closings who had groupies, but apparently Mr. Palmer would have us believe that someone has closely followed his cases and is now rising to his defense on the internet by assuming his identity and posting rebuttals to his critics.
As to Palmer's concern that he may be seen as "some kind of nut"... well, that ship seems to have sailed.
Palmer's closing salutation seems a bit parochial for this board, so I shall suggest an alternative which will be inclusive of our BMM Maple Leaf Chapter :
GOD BLESS AMERICA (WITH A NOD TO THE CANUCKS, TOO)
And then we have:

I don't understand. Mr. Palmer is upset at his imposter for praising and defending him?
You've heard of going to court for libel per se. Well, this is the first I've heard of threatening someone over praising per se.
Defamation, meet the dangers of your opposite - famation.
The real Palmer may also be upset that the fake Palmer is so consistent in saying such bad things about the Blue MauMau site.
