9540 views now as of 1:35 PM EST 7/17/2017. Lots of lawyers, defendants, plaintiffs, law students and the like on Findlaw in 2002-2006. My troll turned out to be a white collar criminal in Chesterfield County, VA whom I took many trips to Tampa Bay area law and academic libraries trying to help as he was one personality with his regular avatar and e-mail and hundreds of fake ones with bogus e-mails and other names. Sometimes my own as well. He would use variations of my name and post. Started going to my Congressmen about changing the law with respect to cyber stalking and the like when both the Pinellas (FL) and the Chesterfield County, VA Sheriff's Office could not do anything about this cyberstalker/cybersmearer. He made some incredibly libelous statements about me as well. Have not seen and sign of him on the Internet since 2008.

6595 posts now in my massive 224 613 Project of 26 year. I recall that Gene Coppola the Director of the Palm Harbor Library the first time I met him around July or August of 2000 demanded a cut of 50% if they got involved with this Project. I said no right away to Coppola as I had just met him and already had nine years of hard work on this Herculean effort. Other library directors in the Tampa Bay area were more friendly especially Lana Bullian who I used to say hi to quite often when she was at Tarpon Springs PL and then when she became Library Director at the Safety Harbor PL.

Ignore the trolls on here. They like to stir doubts and anger just because they can on an unmoderated Political Forum.

Coppola saw something he wanted to steal with my 224 613 Project. And this is intellectual property of sorts. It is very well documented as well.

I was a volunteer at Palm Harbor Library for then about two months when I met Gene Coppola around July or August of 2000. I had a MA in Librarianship and Information Management and then maybe ten years of library related work or volunteer experience. In addition I had a JD and two BAs in Philosophy and History with two semesters of Spanish as well. And some Dutch and German courses too taken after getting these 4 degrees. The Spanish was after I got my MA and while I was working as an Indexer/Abstractor at the Ziff Davis owned Information Access Company.

Meryl Streep - Rotten Tomatoes

This woman is supposedly quite nice according to a fellow Palm Harbor Library volunteer who was a teacher or something like that in the small New England town where Meryl Streep lived or lives(?) with her kids and husband.

People must not forget that this is a small world in many respects. You meet people who have met many other people especially if you volunteer among 200 or so library volunteers from many parts of the US. Too bad that the local public libraries do not seem to have that huge public group of loyal volunteers. The Mark Twain Library is different as it seems like a private library created by volunteers for other volunteers and the Villagers.

I volunteered at the Palm Harbor Library as well as the East Lake Community Library for about 10-14 hours per week from 2000-2003. Met a lot of nice people. The man in charge was kind of a obnoxious New Yorker named Gene Coppola. He was of the NYC Coppolas and of no relation that I know of to the San Francisco Coppolas of The Godfather fame. I have visited with a member of that family on Facebook on-and-off for a while. I mean with the SF based Coppolas.

Had been trying to get a foot in the door to work in a Tampa Bay area library by volunteering but no matter how hard I had tried just could not break out of the volunteer category.

I did pester many librarians about their holdings for survivors/victims of crimes while I lived there in Palm Harbor, FL from 1996-2005 so maybe that had something to do with it.

Past AALL Annual Meeting Locations

I was a pest for these starting in Reno, Nevada in 1989 and going up through the one in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1996. Decided it was a waste of money sending all those snail mail letters out after 1996 to people who were going to go to these conventions. Trying to get them to actually just look at the letters I had received from lawyers, victim/witness assistance providers, Attorney Generals from various States, various association leaders, and many others.

All part of my 224 613 Project. I had been trying to get the help of CEOs, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, movie stars, movie directors, movie studio heads, soap opera stars, soap opera writers, advertisers, etc. to spotlight the problem that these received letters showed.

Future Annual Meeting Dates and Locations Will be interesting to see what happens in these future AALL meetings.

I was at the one in Reno, Nevada in 1989. This was about six weeks after I graduated from the U of MN Law School in May of 1989. I was introduced as the cataloger of all the WESTLAW computer files.

Then I went to the AALL meeting in Minneapolis in 1990 and the one in New Orleans in 1991 as well as the one
in San Francisco in 1992. Could not afford to go to any of the others so I had to just use snail mail to write various people attending these conventions.

Law libraries are our checks and balances on the legal system. Or one of the most important ones of these safe guards if someone does not get why this is important. Many people do understand why this is important.

Film Collection at the Law Library | University of Wisconsin Law School

A twist on this. Law libraries collect movies and I wonder if their law students are starting to notice some interesting things going on in these movies since at least 1996's Dustin Hoffman/Rene Russo's Outbreak up through 2016's Passengers. Passengers (2016) - Rotten Tomatoes

Another little twist on this. While at the U of MN Law Library I had worked under M. Kathleen Price the Law Library Director. She became Law Librarian of Congress around 1990 and was in that position until around 1996 or so. There was an CBS new report around July 6, 1996 that the Library of Congress was challenging whistleblowers and people who wanted to improve things on terms of their mental health rather than addressing their concerns. That is what happened to me at the U of MN Law Library in 1991. Rather than addressing the issue I had with respect to needs of survivors/victims of crimes to practical information the Law Library supervisor of mine probably acting on orders first subtly and then not so subtly put my mental health in question for wanting to talk to FUTURE law library employers about a glaring niche I had found in the delivery system of practical information for victims/survivors of crimes.

I am not saying I have any evidence that M. Kathleen Price was advising this law library supervisor of mine about putting my mental health in question. I was not privy to that information.

I did complain to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 about this-- Senator Joe Biden. Who wrote back that they do not get involved with matters involving only one person. Many US State governors responded unlike this letter from Senator Joe Biden. As did some other US Senators, US Representatives, the Speaker of the House for the State of MN, and others.

So, I have never been much of a fan of that Cheshire Cat Joe Biden. If he had taken a stand in 1991 things would have been a lot different for survivors/victims of crimes in the 1990s as attitudes of law professors towards survivors/victims of crimes rub off on their law students who might become politicians, judges, CEOs, journalists, comedians, and many other professionals.

Things did seem to start changing especially after an interview I had at the Library at the University of Texas at El Paso in late 2001 where it seemed like someone was pulling strings to get me a good position in a law library again. I never learned who this person or group of people might be. UTEP did settle on someone who had been a practicing lawyer unlike me.

There is a connection to Barack Obama in all this that I had feared that Donald Trump would take advantage of in 2012 but he must not have seen the Justice e-mail I had sent back around 2000 which this student newspaper at Brandeis University had re-published in 2011 and that was up on-and-off until 2013 or so. My immediate supervisor at the U of MN Law School had gone onto the U of Chicago Law School Library. I had called her twice around 1992 or 1993 and she flat out told me that I had been blacklisted from law librarianship and that law librarians were a small group with very long memories. This law library employee probably had some contact with Barack Obama when he was a Law Professor to the U of Chicago but I doubt if the WESTLAW cataloger, Joe Biden and the other stuff ever came up in their probably extremely limited conversations. He was busy trying to launch his political career I would guess.

There is still an e-mail I had sent to Villanova back around 2002-2003 that is still up the last I looked. Again an e-mail to a Student Newspaper. I was e-mailing all of the Student Newspapers back in the 2000-2004 period along with just about every other media which had an e-mail address.

So Trump is right about some things with respect to the political establishment and how arm-in-arm some of them are with the media. There are exceptions though and Trump now seems to have become one of the swamp creatures and I see very little chance of change in the DC Beltway.

Libraries could play a critical role in making citizens less prone to being manipulated by either the media or by established politicians.

Past AALL Annual Meeting Locations

Remember trying to get a victims/survivors of crimes lecture at the AALL Convention in 2001 in Minneapolis at their Summer Convention and I could not find enough speakers for the requirements of the AALL Convention people. I did manage to rope a leader in the Mothers Against Drunken Driving movement. So, I had to throw in the towel but kept looking for jobs in libraries probably up through when we moved to the Villages in 2005. I did manage to anger Gene Coppola in the Summer of 2000 by not accepting his offer that the Palm Harbor Public Library would take 50% of anything he and his staff could help me with in the way of grants for library work. He had started his meeting with me with "I do not like whiners and liars." This was at our very first meeting and almost his first words out of his mouth. I had been volunteering at the Palm Harbor Library when I met Gene Coppola for about a month or so. He had stated about a week prior to this. The Palm Harbor Library Director before Coppola had been forced out for scolding an employee for taking a too long break and generally acting like a pervert watching adult movies in his office with the door open.

Coppola threatened me with a lawsuit in 2004, March 2 to be exact for my writing true e-mails to his staff about them no longer having a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory.

The project is about empowering survivors/victims of crimes through improving resources available through or in libraries of kinds. Take Sex Trafficking. There are certain words and such sometimes used by victims/survivors of this knowledge of these codes so to speak especially by social workers, teachers, nurses, librarians, pastors, etc. can help these people.

This is about education. And I got put into 14 Marquis Who's Who publications in the 1990s. Nominated to 24.

The sex trafficking knowledge is something a prison worker noticed and who is taking risks to educate others about things he noticed among sex trafficking victims/survivors. This was/is in 2016/2017 that he does this work.

Or, how news anchors stay with victims/survivors by focusing on their needs rather than just going on-and-on about the offender. I have been writing the media since late 1991.

There are thousands if not ten of thousands of people involved in this Project as I have been at this since around June 1991 but did not start using the numbers 224 613 until late 1992. Look for these numbers.

The librarians though are the people whose attitudes I wanted to change the most. Mostly law librarians in the 1990s.

I really cannot go into more detail on a site like Talk of the Villages. And especially not on its Political Forum where there are some very cruel and extremely juvenile posters.

Did you actually say this about good Ole Gene Coppola?


"The Palm Harbor Library Director before Coppola had been forced out for scolding an employee for taking a too long break and generally acting like a pervert watching adult movies in his office with the door open."

You play fast and loose with the facts. That's why I have to look at what you post. I wish they would kick you off Allegiance of TOTV.

That was about the Director before Gene Coppola whom I need not name. If people want to know about it sent me a Private Message. There was another Palm Harbor Library Director before the man who basically faced a revolt from his employees. This is one of the leaders of librarianship in 2017 who actually listened to me about my 224 613 Project in e-mails and was/is an honest man.

I will try to Ignore Allegiance but his lies do need to be pointed out as that. This man is a sociopath IMHO. I mean Allegiance. I do hope he is arrested and prosecuted for harassment and cyberstalking.
