Here is a recent comment on Mr. Hoge's blog written by this individual. Although his peace order forbids direct contact, I have tried to let Mr. Hoge know that [ find this sort of behavior on the part of his supporters abhorrent and intolerable, and [ have suggested that he take actions to ensure that no further threats are sent. He has not given any indication that he intends to do anything about this, and I assume when word gets out that I have sent you a second letter, [ will be in for more of the same.

The IP address he gives, 127.0.0.1, does not resolve to any server. It's a fake. You Honor, this is emblematic of the sort of harassment that I have received from Defendant Hoge and his supporters since I began reporting on their similar harassment of Mr. Kimberlin. Mr. Hoge has taken on a leadership role what looks more and more to me like an online, criminal gang that has now escalated to direct death threats to intimidate people such as myself from reporting about their activities. I can state for the record, based on my reporting and the subsequent attacks on me, that I believe Mr. Hoge will do everything in his power to attack and intimidate anyone who rejects his delusional view of the world. I am concerned that he is now seemingly inciting vigilante action against me simply because I wrote you a letter. I am certainly willing to meet with you or testify at any hearing you may order to deal with Mr. Hoge. This is submitted for your information as you consider the various sides in this case.
