Blogger's affair revealed in court
I find it rather amusing that after threatening me, assuring me that "we WILL win" and then wishing God's "sword of vengeance to be meted out on me" through our justice system -that Madeleine Flannagan can now claim to be happy with losing this case.
This was a LOG; Legal Own Goal.
The only reason that the judge accepted their version of events is because i did not get a lawyer and fight them. Had i spent money on this and actually ensured that the truth was told in court - that would not have been the case. As it stands though, because i did not do that, the judge had no choice but to accept Madeleine Flannagan and Debbie Brown's version of events.
They should be grateful that i didn't get a lawyer and actually fight their dishonesty. They would now be responsible for my legal bill if i had.
The only thing that Madeleine Flannagan and i seem to be able to agree on is whether or not this is a precedent setting case. I agree with her that it is - but for different reasons. I don't agree with her that people will be lining up to take part in legal proceedings that they will lose.
The judge's decision in this case shows that just because you are a lawyer - or in the case of Debbie Brown, have a friend who will act as your lawyer for free - that does not give you a right to spend 18 months stalking a person's blog, facebook page, emailing them, hunting down and befriending people from that person's past in order to hurt them, making threatening phone calls, taunting that person in an effort to get them to name you, and making constant threats of legal action then when none of that succeeds in making the object of your obsession unhappy - you cannot use the legal system to further bully that person.
It shows that the law clearly states that if you obsess over someone and refuse to just leave that person alone then your own actions are what will cause you distress. As the judge said - if you are in a shopping mall, you see someone that you don't like and choose to approach them - you cannot then claim that they have followed you.
In the end - i am happy that this court case occurred. This case has set a precedent. I and other bloggers will be able to use the ruling - in our defence- in any future abusive and vexatious legal proceedings.
Never once did i go on to those women's blogs, look at their Facebook pages, or contact them. You are not harassing someone when that person comes to you - and having a lawyer won't change that.
Had Debbie Brown and Madeleine Flannagan not attempted to bully me with vexatious legal proceedings - no one would be the wiser regarding their identities in relation to the few times i had mentioned my interactions with them on my blog.
God knew the truth and that is why your silly law suit was dismissed.
The end.

I rest easy knowing that He who weighs the hearts and actions of men knows the truth, and I am grateful that God gave the State the power of the sword to mete out his vengeance so that we who are wronged can seek justice in this life and know that it is God's justice being measured out on earth. ~ Madeleine Flannagan in one of her many emails to me.

Silly old blustery, loud-mouth, bully-boy Cam.
Man, she must have been desperate.
What an idiot.
Glad you're exonerated. Enjoy life.

His hypocrisy is rather astounding. I can imagine that he would have spent much of his day today moderating his blog.
The affair was always going to be made public. Not only was his wife already emailed details of the affair - this is the second court case this year that the details of it have been included in.
I am over the moon with the judgement and that the stress of the whole situation is over. I am also pleased that this judgement in this case will most likely be used in future cases of a similar nature.
I am always enjoying life - but i have to admit i have been enjoying it that little bit more this weekend!
Thanks B. :-)
Hallelujah and amen!! Well done Jacqui. I have been away all week and just checked in to see how things were with you. It is so great to see you on the right track and sounding so happy and fulfilled. I think you did the right thing by not appointing a lawyer to fight this - it had the affect of stopping the claim dead in in it's tracks. Nothing could have been accomplished by dragging this saga on and it would have just made it harder for you to let go. You can move on know in the knowledge that our Justice system actually worked for once. This judge could see what a total sham this whole case was and what a total and utter waste of the court's time. It's a pity he didn't order court costs against them for such a vindictive and yet frivilous action. Onwards and upwards Jacqui and as many bloggers have said.....what on earth did she see in Cameron
Slater???? She must have been a very desperate woman and in some ways you almost have to feel sorry for her...did she really think he would leave his wife and children for her???? Silly woman needs to get a life. I feel for Cameron's wife and children - they must be so humiliated - he needs a kick up the backside....stupid man!! Makes a change for the "outer" to be "outed"....guess you kind of have to laugh - cheers Ali

Ali - thanks for that.
I am very, very glad that it is all over - that during the stress of it all i still managed to pass two exams - and that the judge took the huge amount of time that it would have taken to look into every aspect of the law in reference to the Bill of Rights and Freedom of Speech in order to make a quality judgement.
The judgement is 250 paragraphs long and i have no doubt that it will be referred to in future cases.
Re Slater - the whole saga is unfortunate in relation to his family. They didn't deserve any of this - however my conscience is clear in that respect. I did not have an affair with a married man. I did not cheat on my partner. I did not email anyone's wife hoping to end a marriage, i had never blogged about the affair and had only spoken about it with people that already knew, and i only included the details of the affair in my affidavit after the details had already been provided to the court in a previous court case and then in this one as well.
I don't feel responsibility for anyone's family being hurt.
That the affair came out was beyond my control. It was coming out anyway and that was exactly what the applicant in this case has always wanted - since the day she emailed his wife.
Anyway - i churned out one essay over the weekend and i have until 3pm on Wednesday to churn out another so i better get busy!
Thanks for the positive vibes Ali! xxx
The only reason a restraining order was not issued against you for the 14 counts of harassment found against you for your defamation, breaches of privacy, obsession, attempts to destroy careers and outright harassing behaviour was because Harvey plucked a UK case out of thin air and made a bizarre Americanised 'you can't defame a public figure' type argument.
I have read the judgment. You are talking tall tales if you say anything else.
The good news is that that UK case is being appealed. I hope yours is too or that a defamation action is commenced because you deserve it.

With respect I think that instead of attacking the learned Judge it's time that the applicants and their legal dream team accepted the decision for what it is - an abject failure on many levels and a hard lesson in statutory interpretation 101! time to move on dream team ...maybe even get some paid work this time? For the record Judge Harvey's decision was a considered and rationale judgment, from a judge who is acknowledged by his peers as an expert in the area of IT law. In summary, His honour stated that the applicants failed because THEY BROUGHT THE PROBLEMS UPON THEMSELVES...god is great
two lawyers + 1 accountant = 3 sets of legal proceedings dismissed..Lol
Here is an example of Madeleine Flannagan's honesty and integrity;
Madeleine and her husband Matt Flannagan are on their website begging for donations for a trip to Milwaukee Wisconsin. They are pleading poor and claiming to only have $1500 to go towards their trip that they seem to think other people should pay for...yet in their sworn affidavits that they submitted to the courts in my case they have provided their bank details to me which in one account alone has over $20,000.
Why are they begging for money from their readers....those people are dishonest and morally repugnant cons.
THE END.
I must say that their website caused me to lol. Seriously, the amount of money stupid people must give them to go and talk about nonsense is quite astounding. No wonder he can't find worthwhile employment. A PhD in some sort of obscure God-bothering is not the best career choice.
ANON - 4:50 pm
I know. No wonder they were so critical of me for not accepting the donations that had been offered to me to put towards fighting their vexatious legal proceedings.
I was more glad than ever - after the judgement - that i did not waste anyone else's money fighting them.
How they can now be begging for money - and deleting any comments that question how much money they have - when they have over 20k in one bank account just further proves their integrity - or lack there of.
Their comments on here attempting to bring to my attention and publicise what is being said about me on a hideous and hate filled anti islamic blog is further evidence of their harassment of me.
They are truly unbelievable.
Now they are asking for even more money because both of them are going.
Crazy.
Crazy that they are so shameless to beg like that.
Crazy that they pretend like Dr Doolittle has been "invited" to speak when in fact he had to apply and now has to pay his own way. If they placed that much importance on him or his opinions and wanted him there that much - they would pay for him to get there.
I received another threatening letter from a lawyer on Saturday night telling me that talking about how much money they already have might hinder their fund raising efforts and basically threatening me with defamation.
I am not sure how they can work out that me telling the truth is defamation. They made an undertaking in a sworn afficavit that they had in one bank account 20 k that was freely available towards any damages if an injunction was placed on me. Their lawyer is now stating that they don't have that money and me saying that they do is defamation.
So basically - either way they are liars. They either lied in a sworn affidavit that the money is available as an undertaking towards damages - or they are lying to their readers / followers regarding how much money they have in order to con them.
I wonder which one it is...
O well - hopefully her conviction for stealing a horse won't stop her from being let in to America this time.
Their fundraising thermometer isn't moving. Ha ha
Haha
Lawyer runs begging thermometer.
Their blog that depicts them as being sleazy gun toting gangsters - with bullet holes all through it should be any potential donor's first clue that all is not right in their heads!
