Description
targeting employers and family of david schlesinger
As you’ve seen just this past week, Brandon Lozza (posting on identi.ca as “@ender2070” and Twitter as “@atlasdx”) has suggested that I’ve fabricated my employment record at Apple and claimed that I said that Richard Stallman was guilty of being a rapist, among a variety of other, interesting claims.
On his blog at pwnage.ca, Lozza has forged fabricated comments in my name, in spite of my being prominently listed on the site as a “banned poster”. Lozza has also been in the habit of searching out press releases mentioning my company and sending emails to people at our customers' places of business asking if they knew I’d “called Richard Stallman, president of the free software foundation a rapist?” He’s sent similar messages to a variety of people at my own place of business.
Not satisfied with that—evidently because he got no response, my manager asked me, “Who’s this lunatic?"—he started emailing members of my family with this nonsense. He previously had an ”@ender2070" ID on Twitter, now deleted, on which he claimed to have evidence that I was a “drug abuser” on what occasion, and that he expected to have evidence “shortly” that I was a “pedophile”. I have a private email from him in which he admits that he had no such evidence at all.
In writing to my direct manager, he claimed to be with the press. He’s claimed today on identi.ca that he’s a “journalist”. He’s an hourly computer repair technician.

Topic of Interest: Credibility issue, admission of “Crying Wolf” related to claims of Reprisal:
Filed a claim of reprisal, alleging that she believed she was being stalked by someone related to the case. Later retracted with the following statement:
“I no longer wish to withdraw 2017-29111-1. I was suffering from cannabis psychosis and this caused an extreme amount of paranoia. I thought that the OPP were stalking me because of what Jason Tereszko had said during out OLRB hearing. That is why I requested to withdraw.”

Notes
- action against former employer in techrights/tux machines dispute
- action against former employer in Northern Nerds lawsuit
