The gloves are off in Hoboken as a FuHo city couple, Lane Bajardi and his wife, Kimberly Cardinal Bajardi, both described as local activists, are suing the blogs and bloggers the Grafix Avenger and The Hudson Mile Square View.
More from the Jersey Journal:
The suit claims the posts and online comments by Pincus, Roman Brice, who operates and blogs The Hudson Mile Square View, and others have interfered with the Bajardis’ business relationships, inflicted emotional distress and jeopardized Lane Bajardi’s employment with 1010 WINS.
The lawsuit also claims that Nancy Pincus, a Zoning Board member and the blogger also known as Grafix Avenger, emailed Lane Bajardi’s employer in January 2012 stating Bajardi is a “hyper-partisan political operative” who spreads “bigotry and intolerance” in Hoboken.
You really emailed someone's employer because you disagree with them Ms. Pincus? Really? That's classless. In fact if this claim is true we hope some point of this lawsuit succeeds. Who do you think you are taking this action? The liberal morality-keeper of the earth? Again, if true, SHAME on Nancy Pincus.
Hey, we here understand nuisance lawsuits and the big entities who threaten millions in damages merely to intimidate people into not telling what they know. These people are gutless pukes who think threats should trump truth. They do exist.
As for the Roman Brice portion of this story, he has said he was already involved in a physical confrontation at a school board meeting with Lane Bajardi so all bets are off there. This has gone beyond a personal vendetta online and reportedly evolved into the physical. How nice.
Again, if true these charges in the lawsuit are more than troubling to someone like Johnny who doesn't pull punches but doesn't say things like "Mayor Healy's kids would be better off raised by wolves" either. There is professional criticism and then there are personal vendettas. We have a hunch about this one but we'l let it play out and fill in the blanks with facts.
It's an interesting case! There's more at hudsonreporter.com on this.
ReplyDeleteIt IS an interesting case. Normally I'd LOVE to just get behind the bloggers. I would. Original voices too often ARE shut down by many means. Threats, lawsuits etc. This case is sure not cut and dried.
ReplyDeleteI would normally support bloggers too. Here they may have crossed the line repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteJASP,
ReplyDeleteYou are being conned ? These are not doe eyed innocent "journalists.". These are hard core political operatives for Beth Mason.
Other than her aim to harm Hoboken that has rejected her repeatedly for mayor, these are her hatchet people who have defamed people under multitudes of screen names and behind the savagery on citizens at Hoboken411. For years.
This is a scam, Mason is funding it against 12 defendants and the Hudson Reporter is paid handsomely by Mason too.
That paper has worked with Mason political operatives extensively including these.
