Dick, I have nothing good to report. Two of our group have now bonded together to supply me with an unbelievable amount of data which they claim proves why they are adding you and your dad to their “Greatest Bullies of History” list. They claim that they took their definition of ‘Bullying’ from the Wikipedia site and thrusting a pad of paper in front of my nose, bade me read it aloud. I did so reluctantly.
Bullying Behavior
"Bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person (Besag, 1989). Behaviors may include name calling, verbal or written abuse, exclusion from activities, exclusion from social situations, physical abuse, or coercion (Carey, 2003; Whitted & Dupper, 2005). Bullies may behave this way to be perceived as popular or tough or to get attention. They may bully out of jealousy or be acting out because they themselves are bullied (Crothers & Levinson, 2004).
Characteristics of Bullies
Research indicates that adults who bully have personalities that are authoritarian, combined with a strong need to control or dominate. It has also been suggested that a deficit in social skills and a prejudicial view of subordinates can be particular risk factors.
...many bullies have never suffered bullying themselves and only bully others because it is fun...
Researchers have identified other risk factors such as quickness to anger and use of force, addiction to aggressive behaviors, mistaking others' actions as hostile, concern with preserving self image, and engaging in obsessive or rigid actions.”
They demanded I admit that this was an accurate description of you and your dad’s posture and behavior toward Orrin Woodward and the Team, which I denied.
"I will admit that this IS an accurate description of Mike Mohr’s and Jim Payne’s behavior.” I offered. “But Sam” they countered, “Mohr and Payne WORK for the DeVos family and you can’t deny THAT!”
Dick, I couldn’t deny that.
Isn't it time to put the choke chain back around the necks of these raving lunatics and retrain 'em? It remains a most difficult task to defend you, and the difficulty increases exponentially with each passing week.
Taking my silence as their cue to continue, they proudly presented me with their list of famous bullies which includes: "The Athenians (story posted by Q'Reilly), Goliath, Nero, Torquemada of the Spanish Inquisition who caused massive suffering by the use of torture, anonymous denunciation, and handing over convicted “heretics” to the secular government for execution by 
fire), Pope Urban VIII (who demanded Galileo recant the truth of our heliocentric solar system) King George III of England, Hitler, Stalin, Chairman Mao, Polish General Jaruzelski, Castro, Saddam Hussein, Scut Farcus (the red-headed bully from the movie “A Christmas Story”) and Rich and Dick DeVos.”
"Aren't the similarities OBVIOUS?!" they gloated.
“Well, that's quite a list!” I replied. “Although inaccurate, as I can’t see why you would include the Rich and Dick DeVos when the real issue, the real bullies are Mike Mohr, Sharon Grider and Jim Payne! They belong on the list, not Rich and Dick!”
“Not at all!” they responded. “We include those who are RESPONSIBLE, not the little people who do the dirty work!”
“Well then, you’ve got to remove Jaruzelski!” I insisted. “He was under orders from Moscow. And Torquemada was under orders from the Vatican and Goliath from the Philistine King!” I finished triumphantly.
“So you agree with us?!” they asked bewilderedly. “You agree that Rich and Dick belong on our list?!” I instantly saw my error, but before I could repair the damage, my American history friend burst into the room clutching a sheaf of papers in his hand, waving them triumphantly and shouting, “You’ve got to read this! You’ve got to read THIS!”
Dick, I just can’t bear to publish his handiwork just now. I am attacked on all fronts simply because I believe in you. It is tiring but I will share the historical document my friend brought over in my next post. But I must say Dick, as long as you allow Mike Mohr to heap malicious abuse on Woodward and the Team, the better Woodward looks and the more petty and aloof you and your dad appear.
Have your PR staff take a look at this site: FreetheIbo.com.
And my friends tell me that Mike Mohr better amend his First Amendment-stomping lawsuit to include all the other “John Doe” bloggers who are joining the fight. They say he’d better be ready to subpoena another 100 or 200 soon. Who knows? They might be right.
It is all becoming a nightmare for me Dick. While I remain your loyal supporter, I need your help. Will you please DO SOMETHING? You must ACT Dick. You must lead! Show us that you ARE the leader some of us still believe you to be!!!
