I am not Mr. Stuart and his reasoning for filing his defamation suit against Mrs. Roth was his choice. The question was, "Has Stuart Appraisal been used on other Farm Land preservation applications while Michelle Roth sat on this township committee? <br /><br />If so why didn't Mrs. Roth take issue on those past applications with Mr. Stuart as a voting member of the Ag Board??? "<br /><br /> Not one is questioning Roth's rights to freedom of speech.

When I read those postings, I immediately thought of this site and the infamous, now defunct, hate site, as well as the hundreds of postings by the man of a thousand names, F. Stone. There is little doubt that the postings in this thread are from Michelle's supporters, possibly the same Mr. Stone. What we have seen in the last two years, however, is that these hideous tactics of character assassination do not work. As to the moderator of moremonmouthmusings, he would not be the first person to be accused of something of which he was not guilty. To revel in the charges when the revelers don't even know what the charges are speaks not of the moderator's character, but of the posters' character. It is this kind of brutal personal attack that is the principal reason George Spodak has become the town jester, Fred Stone is simply regarded as a useless abomination, the hate site is defunct and Michelle Roth will never win another election. The people are tired of the constant defamations. They will prove that once again in three weeks. As for the continued, endless tirade against Andrew Lucas, I don't believe I've ever read more ridiculous accusations and so many postings from a poster or posters so clearly unaware of the actual facts. What we are seeing is hate for the sake of hate. It is rejected by a civilized community. It is rejected by Manalapan. The champion of those haters will be removed from public office as the result.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852950114453358090.post-90674906703635227112011-10-18T11:59:20.431-08:002011-10-18T11:59:20.431-08:00"If so why didn't Mrs. Roth take issue on..."If so why didn't Mrs. Roth take issue on those past applications with Mr. Stuart as a voting member of the Ag Board???"<br /><br />Wait, so your saying that when an elected official has a political motive for making a statement about a conflict of interest of another official, the motive is the basis for a defamation suit?

He is accusing Roth of defaming him and harming his personal and professional reputation.<br /><br />The township is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.<br /><br />The lawsuit, which has been filed in state Superior Court, Freehold, references comments Roth made during two committee meetings held earlier this year. The lawsuit seeks damages for the professional and personal harm Stuart claims he has sustained as a result of Roth’s comments.<br /><br />At issue is the public’s pending purchase of the 100-acre Burke farm on Iron Ore Road in Manalapan. The farm is controlled by Lucas, who has applied for farmland preservation funding that would come from local, county and state coffers.<br /><br />Stuart’s lawsuit states that he performed an appraisal of the Burke farm on behalf of the county. His firm, the Stuart Appraisal Company, determined the value of the farm to be $844,800. The appraisal was signed by Stuart on Oct. 20, 2010.Another pot calls another kettle . . .noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852950114453358090.post-87776666139506816052011-10-13T09:39:32.078-08:002011-10-13T09:39:32.078-08:00correct, and now that she has been denied the equa...correct, and now that she has been denied the equal protection of the laws as a result of a clearly discriminatpory and politically motivated decision to wrongly deny indemnification, she has a great civil case against the town and the mouseketeers for violation of her federally protected civil rights.Fred Stonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852950114453358090.post-76905352146436259762011-10-13T09:35:41.448-08:002011-10-13T09:35:41.448-08:00so, the three mouseketeers voted to deny a defense...so, the three mouseketeers voted to deny a defense to the queen, REGARDLESS of the insurance company's decision on coverage?<br /><br />consequences--<br /><br />it's transparent that this is to protect the boy land baron from any disclosure that the stuart defamation suit is all part of a political conspiracy, but now that the queen is free to provide her own defense, LOOK OUT BELOW. none of these nitwits is safe.<br /><br />AND--now that this precedent has been set, no one in his or her right mind will run for office or serve as a volunteer. for those who can't afford to pay 25k plus to a lawyer, it's a ticket to ruination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852950114453358090.post-41834889094957637822011-10-12T15:25:01.737-08:002011-10-12T15:25:01.737-08:00I missed the debate where Don Holland really took ...I missed the debate where Don Holland really took it on the chin.
