 +<wrap lo>To start with let’s be clear, he’s never been “nice”.  I’ll break this down as there’s so much to unpick.  First off, his filing suit against Burnett has been a train crash of ineptness.  
 +\\ \\ 
 +Second, to prove defamation he’d need to show that something I said was untrue.  I have always tried to keep comments factual. He says discovery will open a can of worms and he is correct. He’d have to prove I was wilfully incorrect and to do so he’d need to open up his documents including his financials.  
 +\\ \\  
 +On top of all that he’d need to hire a UK solicitor and file suit against me in the UK.  Third, he’s filed a defamation suit against Jason DeBord in the past and lost.   
 +\\ \\ 
 +Finally, if he wants me to go away, instead of spending tens of thousands on litigation he should just make the damn film.  In short, I’m not worried.</wrap>

 +<wrap lo>As Alec Peters has done for the better part of — well — what would seem to be his entire life, he continues to overestimate his own prowess and underestimate those who he who he feels are his “enemies.” 
 +\\ \\
 +It should be noted that the impetus for my personal dedication to exposing the truth about Peters is the fact that he threatened to sue me three years ago and has had his proxy, Jonathan Lane, do so publicly on his behalf on his blog and on Facebook on multiple occasions. 
 +\\ \\
 +Mike Bawden noted in his very direct email to Peters that he only pursued Robert Meyer Burnett because he was sure that he didn’t have the resources to defend himself and would capitulate to his demands and he didn’t know what resources folks like myself, Carlos Pedraza or Michael Hinman had at our disposal. 
 +\\ \\
 +Considering how spectacularly this lawsuit has blown up in his face vis a vis Burnett, does he really think that it’s a good idea to take that chance with any of us? Does he really think that the adults in the room with families don’t prepare for all contingencies?
 +\\ \\
 +If this current litigation that Peters is involved in against Burnett is any indication of the level of incompetence and complete lack of legal acumen that I can expect... let’s just put it this way: I’m not exactly quaking in my boots over here. 
 +\\ \\
 +That said, it’s impossible to take threats from Peters like this seriously. Considering the current stalled nature of the lawsuit against Burnett (a lawsuit that seemingly only exists because I taunted Peters on Facebook because he kept talking about suing Burnett in public without ever actually doing it), the incompetent pleadings and complete lack of knowledge of civil procedure on Peters’ behalf, as per the usual, Peters would seem to be, attempting to abuse the legal system in order to strong-arm the defendant into acquiescing to his demands. 
 +\\ \\
 +He apparently thinks this is an effective course of action to silence dissent, as well, hence his threats against myself and others. 
 +\\ \\
 +I would like to remind Peters that the last time he attempted to stifle dissent through the courts, it didn’t work out so well for him.  The case was dismissed for violating anti-SLAPP statutes and he was ordered to pay Jason DeBord of The Original Prop Blog over $27,000 to cover his legal fees. 
 +\\ \\
 +But, of course, Peters knows what the consequences for SLAPP litigation are which is why the next time he wanted to scare someone into silence, he threatened to lie about a critic and falsely identify him publicly as a pedophile. 
 +\\ \\
 +Peters is weak, impotent and, above all, a coward, which is why that email in question was sent to you and not to myself or Sandy. 
 +\\ \\
 +But he’s also petulant and impulsive and he doesn’t learn from his mistakes. 
 +\\ \\
 +So, while I’m not worried whatsoever about a lawsuit from Peters, if, on the off-chance he does have a temper-tantrum and acts on it by making the biggest mistake of his life by filing suit against me, I will consider that a direct threat to my wife and children and I will rain hellfire on him, legally, in such a manner that he could never possibly imagine.</wrap>
