88 <p>Here are the emails exchanged where IBM, or specifically Naomi
89 Guerrero, and her boss Ralph Bosco attempt to bully me into abandoning
90 my free speech rights:</p>
94 <p>Good Morning Andrew,</p>
96 <p>Please <script>r(remove)</script> my name from your blog site <script>r(immediately)</script>. I <script>r(respect)</script>
97 your opinion about support, you are obviously <script>r(entitled)</script>. However, I
98 should not be publicly chastised for re-stating IBM guidelines and
99 rules that are set forth by my management. Your case was <script>r(escalated)</script> and
100 I merely stated to you the response from my escalation/development
103 <p>Again, please <script>r(remove)</script> my name.</p>

141 <p>Rummaging around on my site eh?</p>
143 <p>I don't think I chastised you <script>r(personally)</script> at all - I was talking
144 about support organizations in general and IBM in this specific
145 case. I don't believe that anybody would read my posting and think
146 anything other than you were not speaking <script>r(personally)</script> but rather you
147 were speaking for IBM. I'm a firm believer in the first amendment and
148 for giving credit and blame when it's due. My web site is a place
149 where I state my personal opinions. You should believe what you say
150 and stand behind your words - I do.</p>
152 <p>If you want to add your own statement to that posting then let me
153 know and I'll add it.</p>
160 <p>So now this bitch sicks her boss on me:</p>
166 <p>While I certainly <script>r(respect)</script> your first amendment rights, I believe you
167 can maintain the <script>r(accuracy)</script> and intent of your post without including
168 Naomi's name. Besides the fact that she's obviously <script>r(uncomfortable)</script>
169 having her name on a public forum, there are other <script>r(issues)</script> to <script>r(consider)</script>
170 from the business side.</p>
172 <p>As you've already stated, she was not speaking <script>r(personally)</script> but on
173 behalf of IBM policy, and that is where the credit should remain.</p>
175 <p>Please <script>r(remove)</script> her name from your blog <script>r(immediately)</script>. You can easily
176 replace it with the more generic "IBM/Rational Technical Support
177 Engineer" without <script>r(compromising)</script> your message and actually make it more
178 accurate, as IBM is standing behind her words.</p>
180 <p>I trust I can <script>r(consider)</script> this matter closed.</p>

301 <p>How exactly does one get direct access to somebody from just having
