For all of you faithful followers of this blog, you have had the chance to read amazing and wonderful news about the rights and abilities of each US citizen to say what they want, when they want and in the manner they want to every other person on this planet earth–without worrying about not being entirely correct or diplomatic about it.

We give lip service to saying this is the most wonderful country in the world if we do not acknowledge the fact that we have embraced freedom of speech and freedom of expression and freedom of the press to the most encompassing metes and bounds possible, when most of the people running around have no true idea what this means on a day to day basis.  And it appears that the ARDC is in that category.

However, the ARDC (not unlike recently the nuns that are under the the holy thumb of the Pope in  Italy) have decided to reign in us attorneys for being highly critical of the reverable  likes of Adam stern, Cynthia Farenga, Justice Connors, Judge Stuart and  others wander in the probate halls of the 18th floor of the Daley Center and Kim Timmerwilke, Sharon Rudy and Judge Fabiano in Rockford probate court also join the landed gentry parade.  For some reason, the ARDC believes that these individuals are exempt from the slings and arrows of free speech, the first amendment and so forth, but they can get the ARDC to keep the rest of the lawyer hoi poli out there under an oppressive thumb by saying that statements made on this blog were made with a “reckless disregard for the truth” or some other such nonsense. For some reason, apparently KDD and I are afflicted with a cornucopia of malice for being highly critical of the likes of these fine and august (and clout heavy) individuals and it is actually Ken and I by calling for an investigation, that are clearly in the wrong and must be prosecuted for it.  We MUST be oppressed, silenced, wiped out, knuckle under the thumbs of our oppressors.

The ARDC it appears would like to have us transported back to the land of the kings and queens of yesteryear when it was possible to reign in those who were critical against the monarchy and the powers that be.  You were pulled into a star chamber and the king’s prosecutor would ask the favored politicos “did you do anything to harm Mary G. Sykes in the honorable land of guardianship?” and Prince Stern would put on an innocent lie boy face and say “no, sir”.  Then the king’s prosecutor would ask Princesses Farenga, Connors, Fabiano and Sturart, “did you do anything to harm Mary G. Sykes in the land of guardianship” and the princesses would respond in unison with their innocent lie girl faces saying, “no, sir–we are all innocent.”

Then the king’s prosecutor would say to the peons Ditkowsky and Denison, “where are your landed gentry to speak for you?”  All the while ignoring the numerous peon groups of NASGA, Probate Sharks, etc. standing out the rain because they are too lowly to enter the high courtroom.

Have times changed?  Our founding fathers and mothers certainly thought there was a problem with all of this, and they gave us the “First Amendment” (note the adjective first, like it is highly important).

I don’t know, on December 12, 2012, apparently the high lords at the ARDC voted to have Leah Black draft a complaint against my blogging.  I have not found any other state disciplinary cases against blogging and being critical of attorneys that operate in court rooms without jurisdiction and deny it, so this is a new one for all of us.

See the documents below.

KDD’s additional response to the ARDC

KDD’s additional calls for an investigation

Of course, the ARDC Inquire Panel votes to file a complaint against ME for blogging, and what does attorney Ken do?  (Since he was voted to engage in “misconduct”), right away he sends out MORE letters calling for an investigation.

I love it!

Each of Sykes, Wyman, Bedin, Tyler, Gore, etc. were cases operating without jurisdiction for years, and no one investigates. When KDD does a great job of raising a ruckus to investigate, all they do is rubber stamp misconduct on his forehead, and then look for the next forehead, which apparently is mine!  I’d better cut my bangs.
