Update on my complaint against Wolf & Judson's Seaside, Oregon, Motel 6, July '07: I have filed suit in Small Claims Courts in Washington & Multnomah Counties charging Libel, Acute Emotional Distress, Breach of Contract & Violation of my substantial right of public accommodation.

VentVent: What point are THEY trying to prove? I still don't get it... all this because you and your wife were not satisfied with your room. What is this world coming to?

Actually, that's what I thought too at first, komo, but Judson apologized and invited us to reserve a room after we submitted his comment card.

It was AFTER he sent that warm, fuzzy letter that Accor's Seaside, Oregon Motel 6 Owner/Manager Lee Judson slammed us; it makes absolutely no sense at all. It was pure treachery - like when the Pilgrims killed the Indians after they invited the Redskins to share Thanksgiving dinner with them.

If an Indian couple had survived with their scalps intact and sued Pilgrims Judson & Gish, that noble pair would have countersued the savages for the cost of their gunpowder.

But maybe General Rico will come to the aid of the wounded Brave & his raped Squaw, we'll see.

Accor's Seaside, Oregon Motel 6 Owner/Manager and his attorney abused the legal system by utilizing the courts as a weapon to retaliate against me, the victim or to try to silence me.

I think it can be shown that they conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves having been brought before the courts.

Probably not the first time they've done this; I'm surprised they haven't been arrested by now.

MOTEL 6 OWNER SUES GUEST

Man, I hope that's a headline on one of our local papers. Try to make it to the trial. It will be worth it for the voir dire examination of prospective jurors alone.

I'm guessing that in the jury pool could be:

1. A few of the thousands of people directly or indirectly affected by the war who might have a problem finding against a war veteran with 4 bronze combat service stars on his Viet Nam Service medal.

2. Senior citizens who would be appalled at the injustice of the totally unsubstantiated allegations the defendant is making of a 70 year old AARP'er.

3. Any disabled who would be able to relate to a disabled man and his wife being rudely denied service without cause, notification or explanation.

4. Maybe a former Motel 6 guest will be a prospective juror who posted on a Traveller Complaint site that his wife sat on a urine - soaked mattress covered up by a clean sheet. Or one who complained of blood-stained sheets. Or one of many who complained of insect infestations including bed bugs. Maybe one of the many who were treated like trash by unbelievably rude desk clerks - maybe even the former guest who had the cops called on her because she complained about being double charged. Hundreds of offended people so little time.

5. Maybe a person who is offended because Motel 6 is removing the Bibles from their rooms and are substituting them with sex kits.

They are all prospective jurors the defense will have to decide are unqualified or unacceptable and may be challenged for cause or may be the subject of a peremptory challenge.

So that leaves the defendant with a prospective jury choice of oversexed, young, anti-war, healthy people who have never stayed at a Motel 6.

Lots of luck with that one.

To the anonymous friend who blessed my wife and me: When I opened the letter I was expecting the usual pros & cons I've been getting, some good, some not so good, of my spat with Accor's Motel 6, but this was wonderful encouragement. Thank you. Poet William Cowper also had an anonymous friend who sent gifts to him but never revealed his name. Cowper’s comment on receiving each gift was always the same: “Anonymous has come.”

I think of that phrase whenever I pass the post office: “Anonymous has come.” I will always be grateful to my unnamed friend for his or her kindness and love to my wife and me.

A Lady Posted and Asked. I replied:

So sorry, Kim, I thought you were Kathey Killer Keel; between he and Striderq, there's enough odor to run a skunk off; I'm not even responding to that idiot pair's postings any more but I digress, thank you for asking about my darling' wife. She is a quiet, timid soul, my honey, the love of my life, my sweetheart; we tried to celebrate our 19th Wedding Anniversary at Seaside but Motel Manager Judson squashed those plans with his stupid Do Not Rent list; back to that later.

Once I was enjoying a warm summer afternoon in a little stream that runs by her Dad's house. She was picking flowers by the bank and I was enjoying an after dinner cigar. Well, Kim, a NO SMOKING sign floated down the creek and do you know what that shy little gal did? She insisted I put my cigar out! In the middle of the pool! I did. I've never gotten over that. Play by the rules Sandy.

She's crippled up real bad, Kim, she had tuberculosis as a child and wore braces for years; now made worse by arthritis, she can barely walk, it's very painful. Plus this whole traveler's nightmare with Motel 6 is really upsetting her.

But she endures Judson's humiliation and walk she does as she shuffles up and down the corridors of the nursing home where she's worked for over 20 years, taking care of her elderly 'babies' with compassion and the prettiest smile I've ever seen in my life. I would accept her smile as my last view of earth. They refer to her as 'Mother Teresa' at work, and rightfully so. Her co-workers are up in arms about Judson's folly and say things about him and Motel 6 I wouldn't dare utter.

Judson told the WA BBB that my bride fits his criterion of being a very nasty person. Judson's lawyer wrote her a subtle intimidation letter that scared her so bad she sobbed 'till tears dripped off her chin.

His lawyer says I hurt his client's feelings or should have known I hurt them; well, I'll tell you what, Kim, if that son-of-a-### would have insulted my wife 200 years ago like he did, he would have found himself under an elm tree at dawn in his knickers facing a dueling pistol instead of a lawsuit. 100 years ago a John Wayne type would have had him standing out in the middle of a dusty road at high noon yelling, "DRAW, POLECAT!"

Thanks for asking, I hope I answered your Q., Dick.
