MOTION TO SUPPRESS ID: GRANTED

We were worried this would happen. Many of the emails and posts are guessing about our identity. We have been accused of being a judge (which was very creative thinking), and besides that, about two dozen names have been emailed to us.
Here is one post we received:


ANONYMOUS WRITES:

He Who Must Not Be Named: --- your putting him in the role of person to out you is a sleight of hand that would make Mark Felt proud.

[this portion was edited to remove the name of an attorney accused of being Rumpole]

…someone in the pd's office-- Your on the target stuff on laffaire brummer almost sounds like you have inside information. Your attacks on Rory Stein seem to stem from a real bitterness that can only come from actually dealing with him. And since you correctly point out that the last time he went to court was during gulf war one, I have to think that you must have had some unpleasant dealing with him at the pdo. Got to figure who you are though still working on that


Rumpole Replies: The guess about He Who Must Not Be Named and Mark Felt was ingenious. But we think He Who Must Not Be Named doesn’t like us. Although his supporters have emailed us that we are wrong and he has said as much as well. But not to belabor the point, It is Not HIM.

As to any other name (and we edited the above email to remove the name of one attorney) - we will not confirm or deny any name. It seems best for us to go on as Rumpole, but if we are outed we will continue the blog, as most people like it and it is serving the purpose of generating a nice discussion within the Justice Building Community. But we do not want the identity thing to become the focus of this.

We are not bitter about Mr. Stein. We are upset that he will not put down his coffee and danish and crossword puzzle and respond to our comment. He accused us in the press of being inaccurate about the Brummer Bummer. So Mr. APD: What was inaccurate about what we wrote? Send a comment and we will print it in its entirety.

See You In Court.
