Dear Mr. Tipton:

The following comment is the one with which I am taking issue:

xxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xx xx
xxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx  xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xx.

At no time have I EVER encouraged ANYONE to harass you,
nor do I know of any of my relatives who have done that. I
can't believe that you would put a statement such as this on
your website without first contacting me to determine the truth.
I am sorry for what happened to your wife.  But for you to
take out your anger and resentment on an innocent person is
just not right.  I have never met you, nor have I ever spoken to
you.  Yet you felt it necessary to libel and slander my name on
your website because you were apparently angry.  I can assure
you that I have never told anyone to libel and harass you.  First
it is against all my moral principals and second, it would be
illegal.  I challenge you to find ANY PERSON who would tell
you that I have encouraged them to do anything immoral
and/or anything illegal.
As I stated previously, I am requesting that you remove my
name from your website and failure to do so will result in the
appropriate legal action to have my name removed from your
website and all other legal remedies available to me under
Alabama law.

Dear Rebecca Farris:

Thank you for clarifying your threat.  I have deleted the
sentence you find so offensive.
However, the fact remains that the "decaturenews" forum
contained hundreds of libelous posts over an extended period of
time.  It also contained illegal posts, such as direct quotes from
protected, confidential documents sensitive to a capital murder
trial.  If you are so indignant about just having your name on
my website, perhaps you should consider that the teenagers you
were assisting legally were libeling and harassing me on a grand
scale.  I assumed you would have some knowledge of the
content of their site.  I further assumed your brother, Dwight
Jett II, would be aware of what his son was doing on the
Internet.  Ignorance is hardly an excuse for failure to adequately
supervise a minor.
I have better things to do than take civil action against Linda
Kubina, two irresponsible teenagers and their handlers.  But if
you want to have a battle with me, I'll give you one.

Dr. David Tipton, M.D.
Dwight McKenzie Jett III was
