This morning I was booted off the Florida Library Association Facebook page again.

I used to volunteer at the Palm Harbor Library from 2000-2003 but quit because of problems I had with their Library Director Gene Coppola.
These were mainly centered around my 224 613 Project of trying to get practical materials into libraries for survivors/victims of crimes. It was OK for a while but soon after I quit volunteering a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory became one to the Lemon Law site on the Florida Attorney General's web-site. This is not the Florida Victim Services Directory.

Gene Coppola insisted it was. His reference staff agreed with me that it was not.
I sent some factual e-mails arguing the point. The result was a March 2, 2004 certified letter from the Palm Harbor Library General Counsel threatening me with a lawsuit and blacklist from volunteering threat if I did not Cease and Desist with my "derogatory and libelous" e-mails. Pure BS on the part of this lawyer but I did not hire my own lawyer because my Mom still volunteered at this public library-- Palm Harbor Library.
Now they are using a poster with Gene Coppola-- the present President of the Florida Library Association-- to recruit volunteers at the Florida Library Association annual meeting.

I pointed this all out on the Florida Library Association Facebook page and was again booted off the Facebook Group.
Seeing this man just angers me because of this bogus March 2, 2004 lawsuit and blacklist threat and I still have a very high opinion of public librarians even if I have met some that belong more in some other profession and not in anything involving access to information, education and ethics. I also really dislike bullies especially if dishonest.
