Comments from Mr. Allen:

My attorneys (who do not subscribe to the Sidney Daily News), informed me today (after I had e-mailed a copy of the story to them), that since they had not been contacted by the newspaper, the article failed to include "the other side of the story."

Attorneys for TWI are aware that we, the plaintiffs reside on one side of the country and one of our attorneys is on the other side of the country while the other of our attorneys is in northern Ohio. Requests and the responses thereto that are provided in one place must be forwarded to another and yet another and back until completed and ready for service. This all takes takes time.

While the TWI attorneys may express their disappointment and their displeasure with the responses to their requests, be assured that they are too *seasoned* to be dismayed. 

TWI's attorneys may request anything and everything, but we, the plaintiffs, need only to respond according to the "rules."


Trial by ambush....................
Does TWI really not understand what the law suit is all about? Was my wife Fern, Martindale's only victim? Was she his "one fall from grace?" Do victims sign contracts drafted by their victimizers? Do people who have had years of their lives stolen, suffer emotionally? 

Concerning WayDale, this site was designed and published AFTER we left TWI and is not relevant to allegations in the complaint. Can WayDale be required to divulge (if we know them) or attempt to discover the names of its anonymous participants? No we cannot. 

Does "mark and avoid," as done by Martindale and the BOT, disparage, defame, and/or damage anyone? Amazing as it may seem, the Sidney Daily News suggests a conflict between the parties on the issue.

Lastly, to date TWI has not as yet responded to the many discovery requests of our attorneys; but, given the complexity of the matters at hand they no doubt will - as soon as they can. 

Remember, the *weight challenged* lady has not as yet suuunnnggg!

P.S. I would hope that the Sidney Daily News will increase their telephone expense allowance sufficiently so that their future articles can include contributions from both sides..............
