The Ken Pangborn Challenge http://www.aboutkenpangborn.com
   
   Please familarize yourself with the web pages at: http://
www.aboutkenpangborn.com. Ken Pangborn has made numerous efforts to 
silence me and to have these web pages removed.  His efforts over the 
past two years have included:

          Threats of civil/criminal legal action 
          Threats against me 
          Threats against my wife and children, including fraudulent  
complaints to
          Child Protective Services 
          Attacks against third parties, such as Wilbur Street and the 
admin of my
          ISP, in hopes of pressuring them into denouncing/censoring me 
          "Mailbombing" campaigns against my ISP's abuse desk 
          Campaigns of defamation against me 
          Creating illusion of "majority support" through posting from 
alias and
          "sock puppet" accounts 

   All of these efforts have failed miserably.  However, I'm hereby 
making another offer to Ken.  My side of the agreement is that I will 
remove these web pages, and will cease to point out Ken's lies and 
unethical business practices in the newsgroups.  Ken's part is
simple:

   Ken must comply with the terms posted here.  In brief, Ken must admit 
that he has lied maliciously, with intent to defame, on hundreds of 
occasions.

   OR

   Ken must provide proof for any one of his numerous claims, which are 
listed on the web site.

   Once Ken fulfills either of these objectives, I will remove these 
pages and stop pointing out what a liar and con artist he is.

   The terms of "proof":

   Ken must provide incontrovertible evidence for any of his claims.  
"Hearsay", such as "Several poeple wrote to me and said that tghey had 
found that yopu were LYING" is not considered evidence. Saying "It has 
already been posted" is not considered evidence.  An example of 
"incontrovertible evidence". 

          "Attached is a scanned document, in .jpg format.  As you can 
see in paragraph 3, the subject has been ordered not to come within 1000
miles of his wife and child.  If you look further in the document,
you can see the signature of the judge, and at the top of the page
you can see the case number."

   Such incontrovertible proof can be posted either by Ken Pangborn or by 
anyone else who is able to obtain proof.  This should not be difficult 
for Ken to accomplish...after all, he has claimed that over 1900 other 
people have had no difficulty obtaining this information. Ken also 
claimed several people had obtained my military service records, which 
would have information in them to support Ken's claims if they were
true.

   Update on the Challenge

     Nearly two YEARS after I made the Challenge, Ken Pangborn has posted 
no proof of any of his claims.  He has, however, made numerous excuses 
for his inability to provide the documentation.  The most recent excuse 
was that he "required my permission" to post the proof.  This is a 
ridiculous excuse, as the information in question (assuming it existed) 
would be public record.  Nevertheless, I hereby give Ken Pangborn 
"permission" to post any public record information which proves any of 
his claims about me.
