    Gmail - FW: Kimberlin v. Allengroup, Chamber Watch, and me personally as part of a six million dollar campaign of destruction.See http://www.bradblog.com/?p=8354Although Team Themis was exposed, the Chamber continues to fund operations against us and me,and Mr. Worthing is part of the cabal that the Chamber uses for its nefarious purposes along withothers such as those cc'd on the death threat email from Mr. Allen to Mr. Worthing. We arepresently in consultation with counsel about fil ing a lawsuit against the Chamber et al for the TeamThemis campaign of destruction, and there is a very real possibility that Mr. Worthing will be nameda defendant in that action, which will most likely be f iled in federal court.Finally, I want to memorialize my concern about Mr. Worthing's violations of the Rules ofProfessional Responsibility and the possibility that this may impact you if a Court or Bar finds thatyou somehow contributed to this unprofessional conduct. Mr. Worthing entered into an attorneyclient relationship with Seth Allen using a false name, and is trying this case on the blogs, attackingme personally and as a party, and now threatening to present criminal charges to obtain anadvantage in a civil matter, being a lawyer and a witness, using his blog to embarrass me, andmaking false statements about me. See relevant rules below.I believe that any Court or Bar faced with a complaint detailing the actions of Mr. Worthing tryingthis case in the press with vile attacks on me, wil l f ind that his conduct violates the Rules. Isubpoenaed Mr. Worthing in a civil matter and was attacked mercilessly on his blog, and in histweets. He has called me a murder suspect, a terrorist, a perjurer, and urged others to attack me.He has called me out personally on his blog, urged readers to get the popcorn because he wasgoing to destroy me and it will be fun to watch. http://allergic2bull.blogspot.com/2011/12/tune-intonight-at-ten-oclock-eastern.html This is not conduct that is allowed by an attorney. A bloggerwho did this could face a defamation suit, but Mr. Worthing is representing himself as an attorneywho he says had an attorney client relationship with a party to this lawsuit. Therefore, he is boundby the Rules of Professional Conduct.

    I wil l be seeking sanctions against him for violating the Rules now that he has given the Courtjurisdiction over him by filing his motion. My dilemma now is whether you too have violated theRules by acting in a supervisory capacity to him. As you know, Rules 5.1 and 5.2 specifically requireboth supervisory and subordinate attorneys comply with the Rules. I urge you to discuss thesematters with others in your f irm and get back to me no later than Tuesday, January 3rd as to theconflict of interests and the Rules violations so I can decide how to proceed with my sanctionsmotion.Beth, as noted in our call, I am a reasonable person and I did not ask for this fight and I don't evenblog. I want to be left alone. That's what Judge Jordan told Seth Allen to do, but he refused tocomply with that order or the permanent injunction. Mr. Worthing has egged him on and advisedhim to violate the order. Now Mr. Worthing is arguing frivolously that the injunction is taintedbecause I am a felon. He is urging criminal prosecution of me for what he frivolously argues isperjury. He chose this fight and he wil l have to answer to the Court and the Bar for his conduct.Maybe he has a First Amendment right to blog anonymously, but he does not have a FirstAmendment right to violate the Rules. And I don't believe that any Court or Ba r will allow Mr.Worthing to remain anonymous after violating the Rules so blatantly.I am a victim of stalking. I have a final Peace Order issued by a judge against Mr. Allen for stalkingand death threats. I have a permanent injunction against Mr. Allen prohibiting him from defaming
