Mr. Smith posted a comment in <a href=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=33782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my first blog entry<\/a> on the Progressive Liberal Totalitarian censorship of Baen\u2019s Bar. To be honest, I was surprised that anyone actually read it. The comment got stuck in the pending bin and after reviewing it, I approved it.<\/p>\n<p>From there, I linked back to his story in another post, <a href=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=33795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fight to save Baen\u2019s Bar is ON<\/a>! with additional links. I received another direct message from the esteemed Mr. Smith, noting a follow up article and the fact that Sandfart\u2019s Minions are attempting to deplatform the <a href=\"http:\/\/matthewhopkinsnews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew Hopkins News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/79\/cf\/97\/79cf97a8a1dda3462047cc50a33ffbe8.jpg?resize=400%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sadly for the trolls, Mr. Smith is a British lawyer, (Barrister?), and as soon as he found the Sandfart trolls going after him, contacted his hosting company. These people took one look at the posts on the blog and basically went, \u201cYeah, right. No worries mate! We\u2019ll take care of these trolls in short order.\u201d<br \/>\n(<strong>CORRECTION<\/strong>! Mr. Smith contacted me regarding the comment in his being a lawyer. He informed me that &#8221; I am not a barrister, I am a law graduate McKenzie Friend&#8221; I replied to Mr. Smith that my knowledge of the English legal system consisted of watching <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uGcOiH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rumpole of the Bailey<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/e1\/33\/a9\/e133a9bc475f25d5126e8eb15a2b72e0.jpg?resize=195%2C278&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"195\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the second post on <a href=\"http:\/\/matthewhopkinsnews.com\/?p=7644\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew Hopkins News<\/a>, Mr. Smith remarked on the trolls and also followed up with some communications with Jason Sandfart\u2019s employers. He also has noted that a number of other blogs and web sites, including this tiny little thing I call Musings of the Angry Webmaster, that were also digging into Sandfart.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am adding to the list. The \u201cBig Guns\u201d as it were are taking notice, and <a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2021\/02\/the-attempted-deplatforming-you-probably-never-heard-of-baen-books-forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legal Insurrection has started commentin<\/a>g on the attempted deplatforming of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baen Publishing<\/a>. What makes this interesting is that the author of the piece, <a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/author\/bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">William A. Jacobson<\/a>, had never heard of Baen Publishing or Baen\u2019s Bar. Like Mr. Smith, Mr. Jacobson is a lawyer and also a professor at Cornell University.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/5d\/b0\/da\/5db0da5c359b0eaeeaba469c783475d3.gif?resize=180%2C180&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What I would like to see now is some of the \u201cBig Names\u201d pick up this story, like Fox News\u2019s Tucker Carlson or the fair and brilliant Michelle Malkin.

As for Jason Sandfart? Well, he\u2019s now saying people are threatening him with acts of violence. I personally doubt this, unless it\u2019s another Jason Smollett situation. Yes, he\u2019s pissed off a lot of people who post to Baen\u2019s Bar, but none of them would be foolish enough to make unlawful threats.<\/p>\n<p>Lawful ones, on the other hand, oh Hell YES! The Swarthy Menace would love to take Jason Sandfart apart in a legal action, but is stymied by not being in the United States. (He\u2019s Indian don\u2019t you know) I also suspect that Baen Publishing\u2019s lawyers are looking into things as well. (At least one Author on The Bar is a retired lawyer himself as well as a retired Army officer)<\/p>\n<p>These people will, if harmed by this walking diaper stain, go after him in court. None of the people I know on The Bar, including some of those named, would ever announce that they would harm a single hair on the head of Sandfart, let alone tell him they were going to commit a violent act on his person.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20619\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump-300x214.jpg?resize=300%2C214\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump.jpg?resize=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump.jpg?resize=768%2C548&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump.jpg?resize=1024%2C731&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump.jpg?resize=500%2C357&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Donald-Trump.jpg?w=1180&amp;ssl=1 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides, they would be far better entertained by utterly and completely destroying this jerk, in a lawful manner, and leaving him to ponder what happened to him as he lies in his own filth in an alley looking for a bottle of malt liquor.
