[OPE-L:6590] Re: [Andrew Kliman] Open Letter to OPE-L



You may cite this message only if you do not disclose who wrote it.




For reasons of his own, Rakesh Bhandari has decided to take
McDonough's false and unsubstantiated allegation at face value.
In OPE-L 6584, Bhandari calls me "petty and mean spirited to have
threatened legal action" and asks me to "retract the threat."
However, neither I nor my lawyer threatened legal action, so there
is nothing to retract.  I call on Bhandari immediately to retract
the false allegation he repeated as if it were fact, and to
apologize for doing so.

I shall happily retract the allegation if it proves to be false. Why would McDonough lie about this? Was there no contact between Kliman's lawyer and Skillman? Kliman only denies that there was an explicit threat of legal action. He does not deny that he had his lawyer contact Skillman. Could Skillman have reasonably interpreted a communication from Kliman's lawyer as a threat?
