Fort Bend Star
In my opinion the Fort Bend Star is trash. I won't even use it to line the bottom of my bird cage!!!!

As usual Barbara Fulenwider reports a one sided view! Why? Could it be that SJD spends thousands of dollars advertising in her rag? Barbara Fulenwider has never contacted me or my attorneys to get our side of the story. Barbara Fulenwider has never followed up to verify facts. In this case she is too lazy to even write her own story! She quotes someone else's one sided statements and forgets that there were replies to the commentary of Doug Goff...

Anyone remeber the "Tree Hugger" Article??

Barbara Fulenwider is not a real reporter. Real reporters check their facts and seek the truth. Her paper can not (in my OPINION) be considered anywhere near journalistic. I get more useful information from the "Star" at the checkout counter. For real reporting see http://www.starmagazine.com/

Maybe she will get reprimanded by the court like SDJ and their attorneys will be for reporting confidential information from a confidential deposition. Let me correct some errors..

Quote :
On Oct. 17, Calvin and Feinberg were deposed in Calvin’s lawyer’s office in Sugar Land and the next step, Keville said, is “to consider our options in what to do regarding Mr. Calvin.” The crux of the matter, Keville said, was never to stop Calvin from making public statements but instead to stop him from making “untrue, inflammatory judgements and preferably not under fake identities,” -- blogger user names.


1. I was deposed on the 17th but under extreme duress under a court order by Judge Ruis. The order was give by Ruis even though there was a pending appeal. If I did not complete the deposition my and my lawyers could have been held in contempt of court.

2. Calvin was deposed on the 18th.. Not the 17th as reported.

3. Mr. Keville... with all due respect and without defending Calvin's actions.. Chris Calvin and the rest of us have a constitutional and god given right to "blog" anynoumously. This has already been decided in many other states and by the Supreme Court of the USA. Do we really need to make a case study from this and to create legal precedence in the great state of Texas? Hey.. You can be famous for being the attorney that fought against constitutional rights of free Americans.

4. SDJ has yet to prove the comments are defamatory.. To be defamatory the comments must be a false statement of fact and they must be made with malice and that it actually harms the reputation of the other person, as opposed to being merely insulting or offensive. Doug Goff may have actually been insulted but I doubt he has had harm to his reputation. Goff hurt his own reputation by pushing through with these witch hunts. The statements should be referred to as being "Alleged".. since they have not been proven.

Quote :
“Other things we were trying to find out is who made certain defamatory statements and some of that we found out and some we didn’t. We’re looking at that now as to what may be actionable and what isn’t,” Keville said.

What the hell does that mean??? Again Mr Keville.. Alleged Defamatory statements.. You have not proven the statements are defamatory.. Your behavior is quite strikingly disturbing. You could only show two cases of possible "Alleged Defamatory" statements. Mine was one of them and we already proved that it WAS NOT defamatory. The other I told you who I believed made the statements and it wasn't Calvin. What else is there?

Quote :
“The SJD has never intended to limit the free speech rights of anyone. However, the right to free speech does not include the right to defame others, and it does not, in our opinion, include the right to deceive the public,” Goff wrote.

1. Mr. Goff.. But it is ok for you and your company to hide the apartment plan for so long? For many years the apartments were not on the map, in the sales office or literature given to the public. There was not even a road sign until this past summer. The sign that WAS there said "Commercial Property". In my OPINION that was deceiving the public. And I don't care that we all signed a document stating that SDJ has the right to build what ever they want. That is not the point Mr. Keville. We did not know or was not informed of the apartment plan. Really.. who goes to the city hall and searches through all the agreements between the city and the builder??????

2. Have you seen the new Covenant for Sienna Plantation? There is specific language in there that limits fee speech and assembly in or NEAR Sienna. Check the full reply by "Right to be anynomous" at http://www.fortbendnow.com/news/317/ They (SPRAI) say in the new Covenant ”rights-of-ways within or adjacent to the Properties”. This means they want to restrict free speech in or out of Sienna. Here is Proof that SJD wants to limit free speech. Check section 2 in the new Covenant, they specifically don’t want owners to “assemble for the purpose of spreading propaganda”. “ The definition of PROPAGANDA: Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause” They don’t want any anything expressed that opposes their views. If you read more into this you are not even allowed to have web site that opposes them. They can even use personal emails against residents. It would be easy for Sienna to enforce this rule on anyone that runs a web site or opposes their views.


Quote :
“In light of the information provided in the two depositions, SJD is now deciding whether to sue Mr. Calvin for damages and reiterates that we do not intend to sue Mr. Feinberg,” Goff wrote.

I challenge Mr. Goff again.. If you mean that you will not sue me then put it in writing. Our requests have gone unanswered for this. If you won't put it writing and file it with the courts your statements mean nothing.

Quote :
The Fort Bend Southwest Star called Jeffrey Singer’s office but the call was not returned. Singer is Calvin’s lawyer

Barbara.. But yet you have again failed to call me or my attorneys to get our side of the story. I wonder why? Barbara.. Check your facts.. YOU KEEP GETTING THEM WRONG!

I believe the best thing for SJD to is to drop this whole thing. They took something that very few people knew about (in their words Calvin was 15 out of 20 posts) and made it very very public. It will not be long until national media picks up on this. Come on Douggie.. Leave us alone. All I wanted to do was provide a community service and get people talking about community issues. If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about.

I never should have been dragged into court. My rights have been severely violated and I will continue to fight with all my might until SJD guarantees I will not be bothered again.

That's that about that!
