Nothing I’ve written constitutes a defence of anyone. Every message has simply asked you to specify what in the article is factually false/misrepresented/defamatory. You have yet to do so.

Instead, you’ve repeatedly mischaracterised my responses. If you believe I’m “defending the indefensible,” identify a single sentence where I’ve done that.

You claimed the article falsely implies that Jane Ruby played a “somehow critical role in the opioid crisis.” I’ve reviewed the article carefully. It does not make that claim.

You also insist the article is “as much about [you] as about Jane” because of one line in the preamble referencing “Sasha’s trail of lies” and the use of your photo in the header. You are not discussed, quoted, or analysed beyond that opening sentence. The rest of the article is about Jane Ruby. To claim otherwise is inaccurate and borders on self-aggrandising distortion.

If your sole objection is to that opening line, then say so directly. If you believe it is defamatory, explain precisely what is false and why. Asserting “I never told a single lie” is not meaningful without reference to a specific allegation and a specific rebuttal.

You originally responded with:

“oh geez. Jane got these people spinning, levitating and pissing their pants in anger. Fun to watch.”

That had nothing to do with you. If you were genuinely concerned about your portrayal in the article, this would not have been your opening comment. It was dismissive and incoherent, which is why I asked you to clarify. You did not.

I’ll repeat once more: asking you to clarify claims you’ve voluntarily asserted without evidence is not a defence of anything or anyone. It is a request for specificity and accountability.
